[3.4] Caustic Arrow Pathfinder & Toxic Rain
The build is around Damage over Time, a little bit of chance to poison ( to have the Crawler up at max stacks ) and withering generation using Toxic Rain linked with Withering Touch
PROS and CONS
Spoiler
PROS +great clearing speed thanks to CA buffs. +really good to run maps and delves because the only mods you dont want to run are no leeching and no regen. +really good to run delves with. +high evasion and movement speed. CONS -really weak single target till you get key items (6l +3 Bow, Dying Sun, Impresence, 21/20 CA, Empower lvl 3/4 ) LEVELLING
Spoiler
Level with the usual levelling item: -Tabula Rasa -Lochtonial Caress -Storm Cloud -Goldrim -Wanderlust GEMS AND LINKS: To level till you reach Blood Aqueduct at least go for either Shrapnel Shot or Lightning Arrow, both are good to level with. Remember to level on the offhand Caustic Arrow while levelling, so you don't have to start with a lvl 1 gem. LINKS FOR SHRAPNEL SHOT: Shrapnel Shot - Onslaught - Volley - Mirage Archer - Slower Projectile - Added Lightning Damage LINKS FOR LIGHTNING ARROW: Lightning Arrow - Onslaught - Greater Multiple Projectile - Added Lightning Damage - Mirage Archer - Slower Projectile BANDITS: 2 Points ASCENDANCY: Pathfinder 1°- Nature's Reprisal 2°- Master Toxicist 3°- Nature's Adrenaline 4°- Nature's Boon PANTHEON: Soul of Lunaris: for the extra dodge chance and phys reduction. Soul of Ralakesh: for the no maim/no blind that you take after. You can also use Soul of Ryslatha if you feel like. CRAFTING +3 BOW
Spoiler
Catarina Method ( expansive one atm ) You need to have either a Maraketh Bow base or a Thicket Bow base ( because of the high movement speed/attack speed ). -First try to Alteration spam the +2 level to Bow Gems. -Than use an Augmentation to have a suffix. -Regal it hoping for another suffix, if not Scour and start again. -Craft Cannot Roll Attack mods ( 1ex with Catarina lvl 8 ) -Exalt it for a guaranteed +1 level to Gems -Scour the Catarina mod and craft Damage over time with Leo Fossils Method ( cheap method ) You need to have either a Maraketh Bow base or a Thicket Bow base ( because of the high movement speed/attack speed ). -You need to have a Metallic Fossil ( dropped into Mines ), a Corroded Fossil ( dropped into Petrified Forest ) and a Prismatic Fossil ( dropped into Magma Fissure ). -Put the fossils into a 3 socket Chaotic Resonator and slam the bow. -The +3 is not guaranteed, its RNG based, so u can craft it with just one try or spend a lot of fossils. -After you get your +3 bow, craft Damage over Time with Leo if you have an open prefix.

I don't think your passive tree is the most efficient.
You can get much higher life % by skipping the chaos dmg wheel above the shadow area, and getting the life wheel near the scion start area. There is juicy skill effect duration on the way too, which is very important for toxic rain. the evasion + life wheel you take between ranger and shadow is very inefficient. 4% life for 1 skill point, especially seeing you need 2-3 points to get to the wheel itself is not worth it. Attack damage leeched as mana is wasted points too, your +3 bow does virtually no direct damage, and I can sustain my mana with just a t1 mana regen on one ring on gear... I am currently running a version with kaoms heart for higher tier'd maps. you can get a quill rain weapon swap, or another +3 bow weapon swap. or you can go like you did with a 5L - 6L QOTF for the toxic rain setup, but then you lose survivability |
