3.17 TOXIC RAIN CHAMPION - Fast, Tanky, Deadly! - League-Start to End-Game

After buying bow and empower lvl 4 I'm stuck on 3.4m dps. Any suggestions what to improve next?

@update
I changed eldricht craft in helmet, now I have 1.37 aoe
Here's updated POB

2.6m dps with 6 arrows
Is my configuration in pob good?

Divergent mirage archer instead of faster attack support will give you nice DPS boost.

Basic gloves are easy to make. Take elder/hunter apothecary gloves and alt spam to get T1 chaos dot multi (or harvest craft chaos more common or fossil craft chaos), then get any warlords gloves with culling strike and use awakeners orb (worse option is to use warlords gloves with damage over time). Then if you want to finish it you can craft suffix cannot be changed and harvest craft life more common to get life roll (repeat for higher tier if first one was not good enough. Finally you can craft aoe or damage during flask effect.

You can spam essence of delirium on a ring to get 15% dot multi and resistences there (before that use prismatic catalyst to increase chances for res rolls).

Get better jewels, as % with bows, chaos dot multi and dot multi. Without life rolls they should not be that expensive (currently I can see one for 1ex and another for 2ex). AS with bows, chaos dot multi and for example projectile damage jewels should be much cheaper but a bit worse.

Adding those items jumped from 3.4 to 6m dps. Adding some frenzy generation made it 7m.

Getting better amu, quiver, ring with curse on hit will be a lot more expensive.

While I was changing to mirage archer instead of faster attacks I noticed that I have double vicious projectiles WTF :D
However, mirage archer and changing 1 vicious to void manipulation, and crafting ring like you proposed gave me 9.6m dps :D awesome

@update
I didn't set to sirius dmg, actually I was still around 4-5M. I did some changes like you recommended, now I have frenzy generation on chest and I crafted some nice gloves:

I finally finished my league project of making this TR champ the Boss ;)

Current achievements:

Offense:
1. 60mln DPS = 45mln Shaper DPS on self attack Toxic Rain + 15mln Shaper DPS from ballistas
2. 0 mana cost of skills without Replica Conqueror's Efficiency jewel
3. 161% movement speed

Defense:
1. 4.1k life with fortify + taunt is enough
2. Max all elemental res + chaos res
3. 45k armour / 40k evasion
4. 110% suppress spell damage chance
5. Immunities: CB, stun, ignite, frozen, blind, maim, 41% shock avoidance + 60% shock effect reduction
6. Still can get poison or shock immunity from setting new implicits on cluster jewels
7. 110% curse effect reduction (basically curse immune if they are not enhanced)
8. 61 life regen + 29 life on hit is giving some recovery when you get eventually hit
9. CWDT + Molten shell and Enduring Cry for extra defense (not used in mapping, leveling some gems instead)


This setup is completely destroying the whole end game. End game bosses, feared invitations (80-100% quantity), wave 30 of simulacrum (without chaos/curse res wave 30 Kosis is melting instantly), even ravaged bligh map bosses can be quickly self killed. Did some speed Maven farm (50 of them with insta phasing Maven). Aul in Delve was also easy however he had not too many deadly mods.


Below is current setup, almost all self crafted:




Jewels:



Flasks:


Flask for delve




Cluster jewels - very important for balancing resistances and stats (for example I had to get 345 dex to get in the end that 100% suppress spell chance)


In the end there are still plenty of upgrades waiting but I'm not willing to make them. For example Helmet and Gloves Hunter mods could be elevated, I could make T1 chaos and T1 bow damage on weapon/quiver. During the entire league I saw only one amu with +1 chaos, +1 all skill, and T1 chaos dot multi, T1 dot multi so I guess its impossible to get one unless there's some reasonable way to craft it. Then all gems could be with chaos dot, dot multi, as with bow and %life. Getting Watchers eye with 15% spell chance suppression instead of movement speed would free up 2 skill point that could be allocated either for 15% life or some damage. Also Bottled Faith can be used instead of life flask to get additional 1.5mln dps but honestly that's not needed :)

In the end I dumped like 50 ex into trying to unveil %mana cost reduction on my ring to get 0 mana cost but then this gem appeared on the market and it was enough (however 0.6% dps loss compare to my previous one):


Also I was not planning initially to use Mageblood, Gwennen gave it to me after 700 Astragalis.

Hey, any video of your char in action? You make it sound very strong.. video's ive seen so far haven't been too impressive.

Sure, I had some invitiations so I run them this morning. Just to show how well it's doing I was pushing high qunat and unfortunately each time I got extra life or chaos res so definately they can be done quicker. But as you can see it tanks everything pretty well.

You need to remember that with toxic rain damage is ramping up. So to get the biggest damage you need to stack 5 overlapping pods and get all 4 frenzy charges from frenzy on hit chest (and that not always possible in short fights). Also moving bosses are really bad for it.


1. The Formed - 128% quant but 35% extra boss life, only get up to 3 frenzy charges

2. The Twisted - 108% quant but 25% chaos res
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njxgAOQN0y0
(edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPJwE_OU6oU <-- 95% quant w/o life/chaos res rolls in 15s)

3. The Elderslayers - 108% quant again but 27% more monster life
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-z0fzy_Amo

4. Cortex - the easiest encounter, if not for the adds phase then it wouldn't require a single move.

5. The Feared - 125% quant but 28% extra life, one death, unfortunately wasn't able to avoid duplicated shaper slam. Escaped from one just under another. Still 48s with 1 death and extra life mode. SPOILER: shit drops, currency loss :D

I hope that links are working, last time I uploaded something 8 years ago :)


PS. Toxic rain is not a meta skill so it won't get results as some top dogs with hundreds of milions of DPS but I would say it's doing ok ;)

Thanks, didn't notice I did not reactivate those auras, good I didn't die there again :D Now I'm hunting for some high quant invitiation with Maven releases all bosses at once suffix, however people listing them for multiple exalts... :/

I am planning to play this on Friday. Can anyone suggest a simple leveling guide to get through the acts without too much trouble?

ideally i would want to level as toxic rain asap but not essential

Thank you

Hi, just a question. In the POB the gem levels seem a bit off.

Withering Step is at 17
Vitality is 1
Dash is 19
Enduring Cry is 19 (CWDT and VMT is 20)
Determination is 19
Vaal blight is 19


Are these correct, or are they supposed to be 20?

Thanks
