It says ...

- Molten Shell - Level 16
- CWDT - Level 11

... which is correct.

Apologies, I didn't see that CWDT would increase the level threshold once it got higher in levels. You are indeed correct :)

Also, thank you for the guide. It's so much easier to jump into the game and learn while following it.

No problem at all and thank you for the positive feedback [if you want to do me a favor, recommend the guide - e.g. to friends or on reddit - if you see the opportunity to do so - I'd really appreciate it! ;)]

I have an additional question. If I'm currently running Quill Rain; should I go for crafting the Thicket Bow or stick with Quill Rain?

By the way, you are missing out on 44% increased damage on that Mastery cluster (small nodes)

Oh shoot, I didn't realize the 12% damage with Bows stacks with the 12% Damage with Bow skills on that node?? Is that how it works? So it's 24% incr damage per node (for our DoT)?

Yes, 24% increased damage per node.

Yes, 24% increased damage per node.

I'm actually now pretty sure this isn't how it works; I believe the 12% Increased Damage with Bows only applies to the hit part of TR, and the DoT is only affected by the 12% Increased Damage Over Time with Bow Skills.

cf poewiki and also PoB seems to agree (taking the small nodes with both of the above 12% mods gives only slightly more damage than taking e.g. 10% Increased Damage over Time).

Not mine, but I thought you might want to see what a Crucible version of the Toxic Rain bow can look like:

Hi Fezz, I am generally having a good time doing T16 maps as well as other content such as logbooks and blight, but I specifically have a lot of trouble with bosses (guardians/conquerors as well as e.g. nonquest eater and exarch). Specifically, I think I have trouble with

1. Flask uptime when I'm not clearing packs (e.g.. bosses)

When I run out of my utility flasks my survivability takes a big hit, and sometimes the Life flask also runs out and can't regain chargest fast enough

2. Damage uptime when I'm running around (and not casting TR)

For bosses that are a bit scarier and require more running/dodging, I find I am not applying TR enough, especially with the Focused Ballista Support. Maybe it would be better to use a diff support gem for bosses so I can just lay the totems and focus on dodging?

Also some additional questions:

3. I notice the endgame gear section does not have a section on flasks, I understand it is a little up to personal preference, but I would enjoy seeing what you recommend for a set of 5.

EDIT: I saw that you mention some flasks in the Endgame: Basics page, but it would be helpful to have it also on the Endgame: Items & Crafts page as a consolidated reference.

4. The endgame setup does not use Bloodrage or Vitality, is that correct? Is it just not worth the gem slot/passive points (for reservation efficiency) to run the extra aura (now with the Vitality mastery gone) for the additional DPS?
