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

U alt untill u hit attack speed or dot multi and regal. Rinse repeat. Expensive right now.

This is the first league I've really gotten into crafting, and I must say, it's a blast. I've tried to craft a number of chests, and have landed on this one. It has 1 prefix slot open (currently with the max life as extra ES mod on it) and two suffix. Would it be worth it to multimod it to get both the max life as extra ES and another suffix like Strength/Quality? Or are there any other recommendations to how I could finish this? Thanks!

What’s your opinion on putting Mirage Archer on CA vs TR? I have it on CA right now and it’s fine, but I feel like it might be wasting shots since the CA pool doesn’t stack. Anyone notice a big difference?

Also, Hasunic, I saw you were using the corrupted Shaper’s Touch with Despair on hit. I picked up a pair, and since I don’t need the curse on ring anymore, I was able to find a nice temple mod -mana ring and slap +1 minimum frenzy charges on it. Digging it so far.

That's cool! I was glad I changed too. I needed the resistance, so I could get rit of Alira :)
Mirage archer on CA is faster clear and mirage archer on TR is higher dps.

Yes most definently


Im glad you like it :)

What would you replace in the gem setup for TR for Mirage archer, efficacy?

Hey all, I'm playing a different version this build but wanted see if a ~15 ex budget would be enough to full swap over to this version of the build. My build is way too squishy and has annoying mana problems, so that would be the big reason as to why I want to switch. I know the bow is a big upgrade to factor in, but don't count it because I feel like my damage is enough to do what I'm wanting to, I just can't because I have no sustain and I die way too much. Basically, it will be the last thing I try to upgrade. I know most of my gear is pretty mediocre, but I've been holding off on upgrading because of not wanting to sink too much more currency into this current iteration that I'm running. Thanks for the help.

That's weird. Your gear is looking pretty good, a rare es / eva chest with max life and es as max life would help a lot. Carcass jack is kinda meh TBH, rare chest will also free some resistance to allow you to get -mana cost & maximum ES on your ring slots.

I would also go for cyclopean coil - immunity to ignite & shock helps a ton with our lowish hp.

What are you dying to?

I currently have about 8.8k ehp with 10k evasion and I'm finding it to be very tanky.

You're missing discipline as well which should give you like an extra 700 es.

Replace the skitter bots with discipline you don't really need to run that when you have malevolence.

You need to have - mana cost on rings otherwise you will defo run into mana problems.

Vertex + Enlighten level 4 will help a bit as well and they are a bit more affordable now.

Missing flesh & stone which makes you tankier.

Missing the CWDT & IC set up which helps with tankiness too

Ty for the build...

For now:

Working on a new bow. Congratz for u 40/40

Wow, thank you so much for the detailed response, that definitely exceeded my expectation haha. Yeah I'm sitting just over 11k evasion and the build feels really great when I'm able to keep my Elusive and Phasing up. If I do happen to get RNG'd and I lose a ghost shroud stack, then I'll pretty much get one shot by just about anything. That's where most of my deaths come from. And yeah I'm only at 5.5k ehp which is definitely a problem, so hopefully discipline and a new chest can help that out. Do you think I should respec my passives to be more like this iteration of the build? Thanks again for the detailed response, this has me excited to play this build again.

No worries!

Happy to help.

Defo worth a respec.

Took a glance at your tree and off my head you can use thread of hope to bypass phase acrobatics and save a few points - also lets you directly slot into hunters gambit and silent steps.

If you go this build you can respec out of the frenzy charge stuff as you won't be getting them without unnatural instinct. Will also help with your stat requirements as you're getting a ton of dex nodes down there (mainly for immunity with coil)

Don't think Hasunic has updated his POB yet but theres a new cluster jewel option towards the top which gets us a fat damage increase.

This is my tree at the moment - haven't ticked wither stats or messed with the configuration atm.

Also need to get new flasks as I don't need staunching & Freeze and Chill but I'll do that at some point lol.

I saw this build in the other TR thread... It's the Evra Ergul one? Please don't play it. It's a POB warrior spec.

Taking both Swift killer and Prolonged pain while neglecting your defenses from Escape Artist (that gives you also decent protection from stuns!) It takes several inefficient nodes like the extra frenzy charges, while you could cut a lot of those (farsight, fury bolts, etc.) and just invest into well rolled cluster jewel for more damage.

It's also completely life based ignoring Trickster synergy with building hybrid (part life part ES) I can understand that on a ranger but on trickster it's such a waste to not go Escape Artist and build some ES.

Also don't know if you bought jewels to the guide's specification or on your own, but you should definitely not buy jewels with poison mods, like the one you have on duelist area. Damage over time, chaos damage, and damage while wielding a bow are the goals (not: "damage with bows", that only buffs initial hit not the whole spell, it needs to say "while wielding a bow"). Area damage is fine too afaik.

Personally I think both Hasunic's and Typicaldemon's guides are better than the youtube one, and this one is definitely more tanky while the other one has Queen of the Forest so has more emphasis on speed / mapclear (for example the other one defaults to no life flask and patient reaper regen).

Also I think Hasunic's idea is better with having TR in bow and CA in body than the other way around. CA is used for mobs that die fast (mapclear), so can be without the gem buffs from bow, but TR is used to help in bossing, if it's in chest and deals less damage than CA in a +3 bow it's counter productive. Especially when you have lvl 20 TR with no empower, no chest corruptions with +gems mods, I expect this to be a waste of a 6-link. I think it's workable with a weapon swap or gem swap too (have CA in bow and swap for TR for bosses and swap conc effect for efficacy), but the current setup rises my doubts.

Anyway Hasunic cleared all endgame content with this build so at least you can trust this guide that the build is indeed viable for everything.

P.S. You don't need unnatural instinct, it might be good but not 12ex+ good. It's a luxury upgrade you should save for your last purchase (that or watcher's eye, depending which one ends up more expensive, probably UI).
