[3.24] fezz's Toxic Rain Champion - Step-by-Step PoE Build Guide for Beginners & Casuals
" The reason why you swap to Toxic Rain at level 33 and not earlier is because if you start as a Champion, you will have access to skill points which scale well with Toxic Rain damage pretty late (around level 33). On top of that, the Steel skills provide way more damage at the earlier stages of the game. Furthermore, you are able to farm The Docks right before/when you hit level 33 to ensure you comfortably get your full Toxic Rain 3-link or 4-link setup. The fact that I recommend buying Toxic Rain and the other main setup gems at level 24 and not earlier is to avoid that new players suffer from not having enough Orbs of Transmuations (to buy other necessary items or roll flasks or what not). At level 24, the chances are high, they won't have that problem anymore since they will use other currency to buy/craft stuff. Editado por útlima vez por fezz8386#7997 en 5 dic. 2022 9:28:38

Hey, thanks for the detailed guide. What are you thoughts on different versions of the build - champion, raider/pathfinder, trickster?
I played TR in the past and loved the play style. I wanna play this build again but focus more on uber bosses. What do you think will be the best variation of the build for that purpose? |

" Hey, Champion is the tankiest version (which is why it's best suited for new players. in my opinion). Pathfinder/Raider have a bit more clear speed. I don't know about Trickster. In terms of Uber bosses I recommend .. none of the 4 choices :D Toxic Rain is a superb League Starter but if you want to do super late endgame stuff, the build falls off due to the lack of damage scaling. Even with high investment you get only like 4-6M DPS. If you are super experienced, then this might not be a problem, but Uber boss fights will take forever and will be a pain in the ass. If you want to play Uber bosses your go-to builds are Poison Seismic Trap Sabo, Cold DoT Trickster, Boneshatter Slayer, Explosive Trap Inquis/Sabo, Detonate Dead Necro or Explosive Arrow Champ. I don't say you can't do it with Toxic Rain, but all other mentioned skills have way higher damage peaks with the same or even less investment. |

This is sad. I played explosive arrow last league and it really felt amazing in boss fights. But mapping with it was just meh... Same goes for traps (at least for me).
Alright, thanks for your answer. |

About the site with this build:
1) Finding PoB for this build was pretty hard. No "passive tree" or "pob" in the main links of "overview" or anywhere else. 2) No gameplay video... 3) "Resources & Tools" link is broken on "overview" page. |
