[3.12] Hasunic's Toxic Rain / Caustic Arrow Trickster | Leaguestarter | Ailment Immunity | SSF

I finally got my first set of gems to level 20 ...

Is there any gem that really gets a lot from quality?

Have to make another comment, I'm confused on some things.

Does increased damage with poison and such affect the damage or is it only chaos?

What should I upgrade to get more damage?

Should I use Unnatural instinct instead of intuitive leap?

Any general tips?

No.

Anything with poison, ailment or "adds x to y chaos damage to attacks" is a waste.

Increased chaos damage / increased damage over time / chaos damage over time multiplier are the mods you want.

You have too low life rolls on your items, losing a lot of potential hp. Don't use talisman necks. You're missing out on anointment system that is basically an extra talent point. Do not spec jewel sockets if you have nothing to put in them, first buy a decent jewel so you know how much you gain from that point. Also roll staunching affix on your flask (can be done in bestiary). All the low level flasks should be replaced, I hope you use a loot filter where you can highlight proper life and mana flask drops.

Loving the build!

Switched over from Poet's Pen assassin COC as I just found the build to be incredibly squishy.

I may be blind but couldn't find this on your POB - where would you put the unnatural instinct

Also how do you get frenzy charges for this build - would it be worth crafting min frenzy charges on amulet / ring?

Do you still use witching brew when you get DOH on rings / glove corruption

It depends on whether or not u need -mana cost, more chaos resistance. Minimum frenzy charges are very good for bosses, but mapping you should get enough due to the unnatural instinct.

Level 21 curse are still quite good, but you could go for sulphite, basalt or whatever you prefer + a decent suffix, whatever you need.

Unnatural is west from shadow start, east from witch. Its the frenzy, endurance charge on kill, life% and es% nodes and mana % nodes youll get from the socket. Very close to Pain Attunement

Great guide! And i am skill using the bow I bought from you, Hasunic.

So, I followed your guide but modified the passive skill tree for a cluster jewel set-up.
Here is my set-up for anyone, who is interested in cluster jewel passive skill tree. I do not know how to show jewels:

I have the option for either a small cluster jewel with more life + ES or a jewel with more chaos resi + damage over time multi.
I go with the chaos resi jewel for now.

Any suggestions for optimization are welcome.

Gear looks nice :) how do you cope with chill? Is it fine?

i do not handle chill. i just get slowed down :D
Maybe I will craft some better boots in the future.

Hmm. Maybe make a immune to freeze/chill flask then. Chill is annoying
