[3.13]🏹 Poison Barrage-VF / Scourge Arrow / TR PF | Bottled Fortify | The Tankiest Ranger + High DPS

Thanks 2_Dee for helping me remove the fire resist suffix! I feel so pro!

Hello again!

Sirus A8 down really easily. Only the last phase gave me any sort of trouble and I died once which I will blame on it being 3AM here. Afterwards I awarded myself with some crafting which netted two nice items. The belt is nice, but the boots are just amazing.

I was super lucky with the boots. Awakening orb added two defence modifiers and T1 lightning res(which was what I wanted). Remove defence twice, slam crit, slam life(hit T1 on first try) and then craft movement speed until I can afford to roll several speed modifiers trying to get 35%.
The next step for the belt is getting T1 flat life and then slamming another life for % life.



I think the next thing I will try to do is get despair on my gloves so I can free up a suffix on my ring for some more res as I am getting fairly starved for it. The build continues to shine and I'm having loads of fun!

2_Dee and Aurican,

Thanks for sharing your nice crafts.

Look like you two are close to be ready to clear the ultimate challenge--100% Delirious T18 fully-juiced maps with double beyond. I was able to clear the challenge deathlessly last league with slightly less beefy gears than yours.

Thanks for the encouragement! Really enjoying the build. I couldn't stand the similar build with spell totems. It was clunky and they constantly died. This build took everything i hate about that one and made it fun. This build cost a fraction of my spectre build last season and it is on par if not better.

As for double beyond 100% delirium, the only thing stopping me is my computer. Can barely handle normal delirium.

Yeah, I also couldn't find the gloves with despair on hit. Settled down with ring :)

Checking back in on the post, glad to see you're thriving in Harvest.

A few lessons learned from my Toxic Rain take on this build, investing heavily in tankiness and flasks:

-Loving Ailment Immunity and the Enduring Composure was a big upgrade in the phys mitigation.

-Lastly and unrelated but my TR single target DPS feels awwwwful. Sirus feels especially horrible as he jumps around and I essentially do zDPS to him. Might switch some investment from flasks to another cluster jewel/passives.

Oh, my dude is back. It's been a while.

Look like you have lots of uniques in your build. Don't you like gardening? ;)

Talking about unique, not claiming myself a Toxic Rain expert, just curious why you would pair Quill Rain with Kaom's Heart? Should Quill Rain be paired with a chest that gives AoE boost like Carcass? If I understand correctly, the purpose of using Quill Rain for TR is that it can output a huge number of pods per second. So if you can make most of these pods overlap by increased AoE, Quill Rain would generate good chaos DoT DPS from the overlapped pods, and vice versa. PF ascendancy gives +50% increased AoE for TR.

If you still want to stick to Kaom's Heart, should you go with a rare Thicket bow with +3, +APS and Empowered instead of Quill Rain? If you are keen in using Quill Rain, I guess you may want a different chest than Kaom's.

(just for teasing purpose, probably doesn't fit in TR build)

Btw, should you also use Empowered instead of Efficacy? +Chaos DoT multi and +1 chaos skill gem in your amulet would help increase your chaos DoT DPS.

-Dodge + Huge Life pool is great but WHEN I do get hit it hurts and semi-frequently get 1 shot. Divine flesh will eventually help with this but I think I'll always be susceptible to big Phys hits.

-The Foreboding flask isn't as strong as I thought/hoped and @Wolfie I have NO IDEA how you survive without an instant flask of some sort. Mine should be about ~13k over 6 seconds but feels nowhere near 2k life a second so I'll likely have to keep a divine flask as well.

-Close to having no mana cost on my TR so will be able to drop the enduring mana and pick up another, likely offensive, flask.

On survivability, you probably want to link Increased Duration to your Immortal Call, and have as many endurance charges as you can. Also, grab the new Enduring Cry gem since it has great synergy with Enduring Composure. Arctic Armour will help greatly for your case.

We have a good life regen from passives/gear plus the Foreboding and Overflowing/Bottled Faith flask. It seems that you are having a negative net regen, my dude. You also have too many life/mana flasks and just a few offensive flasks.

This setup is supposed to give you better physical damage mitigation than Divine Flesh. Divine Flesh with max chaos resist is more helpful in the elemental damage mitigation with an inherent opportunity cost.

Edit: I also had some experiment with TR with my build after Delirium (lots of non-optimal gears; haven't checked it in Harvest):

(Standard 3.10 after Delirium, probablly doesn't have cluster jewel enable)

End goal chest will be a Carcass Jack, been double corrupting them all league. The general consensus is that Quill Rain will perform as well as the +3 bows at a much lower cost. I think this video sums it up best https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6D478FZgbcI&feature=youtu.be&t=361

POB has Efficacy a DPS increase over empower lvl 3. Don't have a 4 yet. Amulet is a work in progress but should have the +2 + cDOT multi soon.

The Blood rage was just a test to help with DPS, going to slot inc duration back in. Arctic armour is too tight with the reservation. Tried Enduring Cry but it feel awful without the instant Warcry keystone.

Does scourge arrow calculate crit once per cast like ball lightning, or once per pod? Basically wondering whether tailwind boots or hunter belt are worthwhile.

I think it's one rolled per attack. Tailwind mod (gains tailwind if crit recently) is a much more reliable mod than Elusive on crit.

If you want to maximize your chance to gain Tailwind with our build, you can have the boot enchant: "120% increased Critical Strike Chance if you haven't Crit Recently". We have "lucky roll" from Coralito flask.

Hey there!

Could need some help with my build.

Haven't played that much this league so far, but I'm quite unlucky concerning finding currency and/or valuable items.
Level 90 1/2 right now and heven't found a single exalted orb - most valueable item so far was a div card that I sold for 50c...a little bit frustrating ;)
(Last league I had a CoC light ball assassin with 60-70ex worth of equipment)




Mapping is quiet easy/fast, even on (lower) red tier maps.
High-chaos resistance bosses can be a pain in the ass, but doable, don't take too long.
survivability is good, too - when I die it's mostly because of one-shots from bosses/metamorphs


Right now I have ca. 300 chaos in my stash and I'm not sure what to do/buy with it, what to upgrade first.


Thanks alot!

I just made a pair of Tailwind boots and while I haven't tried a boss yet, with 10.7% base crit(tooltip crit) I have 99% uptime of Tailwind during mapping. On average with Coralito we need to attack 5 times in 4 seconds which is very easy also taking Blast Rain into account.

Edit: First enchant lul

I just tried my luck crafting the chest and got life and end charge if hit recently as a magic base. What is the next step for it. I tried reading up on the seed craft but couldnt understand. pmease help
