The only one point which is not right is that you claim that 7 pods=1 CA , but as you can see on your animation on front page, there is max 4-5 pods hitting your main character when you aim at it . All the pods spread and it is pretty hard to get 3-4 pods on top of a moving target. So you need to take account also the time you shoot twice to get your 7 hits. It is not about the number of pods but about how fast you can stack them.

" The animation is at 3aps, without GMP, dying sun and any other projectile modifiers. Indeed it would be near impossible to stack a lot of pods on top of single mob. This is where my whole doubt about DoT stacking started. But with Nature's Reprisal and APS it's definitely possible. More than possible even. https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer

" This confirms my previous ideas too, poison deals significantly less dps compared to the chaos aura around the pods. As it is poison deals roughly 15% yhe dmg of the dot. That is with you as pathfinder. As trickster poison came to be around 10%. Building for the dot is much easier and rewarding unless you get a high phys bow with +3 skills and insane ias; that will most probably cost upwards to 10ex+ discord id: dejuvenate#5828

Makes me think that for the purposes of scaling just TR damage, pathfinder isn't the best choice. Neither is trickster, or occultist... it's Deadeye.
You get 50% AoE from endless munitions, plus an extra arrow = pod. Furthermore, You also get extra ASPD from Tailwind. And since it's a unique modifier, it scales Quill Rain to insane levels = dot stacking for days. Far Shot works with RoA, so it should work with TR as well. And Blink Arrow on 2s CD works surprisingly well - Blink, stack, blink, stack. Squishy, though. And needs some extra poison chance to keep up permanent 40 virulence. But tbh, I'm not very impressed with the crawler anyways. |

i personally went raider. avatar of the chase and frenzy charges.
i'd agree that pathfinder is not the way to go if you want the DoT scaling. it is the way to go if you want to do something with poison/hit effect, however. (damage wise anyway). i'd also say if you're going for the DoT route, do not even use herald of agony. its a bunk skill unless you are really trying to focus poison. its AMAZING for leveling up, but its damage doesn't scale into late game even on a fully supported agony crawler. ya im really curious what is better, a +3 bow or quill rain, for toxic rain specifically. but to get one of those delve bows would be....well probably not worth the increase in damage over quill rain for the increase in price, lol |

" For toxic rain Quill Rain beats even a very good +3 bow. The DoT is slightly less, but since you plant pods twice as fast.. well. . Pathfinder is all-around good class for nearly everything. It's pretty hard to go back to raider after you taste this 100% flask uptime. Another thing that i wanted to test are Virulence and poison. They really synergize well with HoA https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer All builds: http://www.angryroleplayer.com/path-of-exile-builds/ https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2143469 Editado por útlima vez por Angry_Roleplayer#6657 en 6 sept. 2018 11:06:45

Nice, ok , so pathfinder for herald of agony :)

Any suggestion on how to get as much profit as possible from the "Master toxicist" passive which is a great buff to the poison damage while using Quill rain + Toxic rain combo? I assume poison would better scale with a high phys dmg bow, but I think we have decided that Quill is a BIS for this build.
