3.4 Raider - Toxic arrow: need wisdom dropped on me

Hi guys and girls,

I'm running a raider atm, but i really love toxic arrow and i really love stacking chaos or physical.
I'd really like to make it work however i'm in the dark at the moment.

With my gear and current setup i'm destroying t9-t10 maps and as i'm gathering currency i would like to increase my dps and life a little.

Thing is, as it is now, i can't figure what i should aim to focus more: dot, chaos, projectile etc, honestly i don't even understand why my build works so well so far.

I kinda focused raw physical this far, as that is the one damage i understand that gets converted and helps me, however i realize t14-16 and towards shaper, my dps will fall off hard probably.

Can anyone, please drop some wisdom on me in terms of:

1. what items should i prioritize to upgrade and what stats to look for them (also why?-will help me understand better for the long run)

2. Is my tree ok so far or is it all over the place in terms maximizing dps output wether it's dot or explosion and what should i change?

3. is there any hope for me to get shaper/red elder down in any way with this build?

Finally, thank you all and really appreciate any help received.

tree and items can also be seen in my profile as it is public.

how are you wanting to build the build? poison dps, DoT dps, pure hit dps? looks like you want to scale hit and poison dps by the way you're geared and such

i dunno, you seem to be all over the place. if you want to scale poison/on hit with agony pathfinder would have been by far the way to go over raider.
im a toxic rain DoT raider, i went raider to be far more defensive and relying on the DoT for dmg since it already has awesome base damage.

i suggest reading some threads and guides on this forum so you can kind of chose an identify for your character. what you want to specialize in.

here is my thread about my build on the forum. its kind of a different build but same ascendancy? lol

Thank alot man for minding your time with me.

I'm looking into your thread right now to power up my wisdom a bit.

As to answer, honestly i'd love to stack more chaos damage rather than poison, any hints on whaat to change in that direction?

Cheers!

if you want to stack the chaos damage over time more than poison, than i'd say roll with a quill rain and change your links to toxic rain, vicious proj, void manipulation, mirage archer, and increased duration.

then just try to deal with the mana. or if you want, respec a bit into how my build is with running blood magic.

how would you deal with the mana cost? i personally have no idea.

i see, yeah i'm considering moving some of my points towards your build.

Also, what type of damage is the explosion from toxic rain? how can i buff that dps?

the explosion is a hit. so its based on your weapon, and the gems phys to chaos conversion of course.
to boost that damage just keep running the setup you're doing, gear wise, and change some supports around to better boost the hit dmg - which is going to be phys/chaos

thanks alot!

ok, so added chaos dmg would be a better choice over decay in that regard to boost the explosion right?

also, do you happen to know if the explosion can miss like it's accuracy based?
curious also: do the explosions crit? and is my drillneks pierce help in any way toxic rain?

P.S. i'm going to sacrifice some points on my tree to reach and grab some of the life nodes you have in your build.

ya as a hit it has all the same aspects of every other, so accuracy/crit all apply.
yes added chaos would be much better than decay. decay would only be good for a support on something like frenzy or something, that you attack once every 10 secondsish. AKA it isn't worth using

drillneck should not be aiding other than its global stats it adds, like attack speed and phys dmg etc.
toxic rain im pretty sure doesn't pierce.
