(3.14) Toxic Rain + Caustic Arrow | 5-10m Sirus DPS | Fast + Durable | 50c Budget/SSF Uber Elder

If anyone here is interested in buying a full build of this, pm me. I'm gonna switch to a new build so I'm selling all my items.

I got this Qoft for 15c. I want better resists, life, evasion.
Is better to just toss divines at it OR buy one better stats then throw chrom/jewellers/fuse on it?

I'd personally just buy a better rolled one then 6s it yourself

Here's a link to a search with fairly good rolls. They are like 30c for decent all-around rolls (you are extremely unlikely to hit decent rolls like this within 2 divines). The same rolls already 6s are around 100c, but 350 jewelers are around 40c atm so you can bench craft it to 6s cheaper than buying.

Probably not much use to anyone exactly following this guide, but for anyone using an alternate tree a thread of hope with very large ring mod placed in the socket below scion (the one by the resist/proj damage nodes) allows you to take potency of will (skill duration), Berserking, Profane Chemistry and Harrier which is pretty worthwhile if you are pathing that way anyway.

Circling back here - most fun build I've probably ever played (with a few small tweaks) but overall I followed it mostly. I've done all the content in the game that I needed to and farming T16s fully sextented feels very nice. Metamorphs are pretty easy and so are the endgame bosses - Elder/Shaper/Uber Elder/Sirus (AL8) is all I've done.

I could definitely upgrade some things here and there but after spending roughly 40 ex I'm satisfied.

Here's my gear:



I also don't have a very good watcher's eye but it does the job (non-channeling clarity mod).

Been having a blast with the build. Deathless Sirus A8 without issue. Still a few upgrades I'm working on.

Got this cheap - is it worth crafting up the bow even though the base isn't the best? Will likely save tons of alts.

Is mirage archer still a must have in 6link after the nerfs? And also is it possible to maintain “max” elusive buff at all time if so wouldn’t that + tailwind boots be way better than atziri’s boots?

I'd say that's borderline at best. Attack speed is important, and that base is a fair bit slower than the 1.5 aps bases. Plus it has an extra affix, so you're not going to end up with the full 5 useful affixes, and you're still looking at a bunch of exalts to craft it. Seems to me like you should buy a 6L base - you can pick those up for 2ex if you haunt the market, and that's far cheaper than the average 6L cost (which is more like 4-5ex worth of fusings), then expect to blow a couple ex worth of alts to get the right affixes.

Mirage Archer is still a must have for clearing at the very least. The convenience of auto-targeting is a big boost that doesn't reflect in the raw DPS numbers. It *might* be worthwhile to swap it out for bosses, if you can setup your bow gems so you can swap another green in. Personally, I've just left it in for bosses and metamorphs.

It's not possible to maintain any kind of elusive buff, never mind max. Withering step works from pack to pack, but as soon as you attack, you lose all buffs, and it has a 3s cooldown. I'll regularly attack a pack to trigger mirage archer, then hit withering step, run through the next pack - MA will usually kill that - and deep into the next pack to tag everything with withered and then finally attack again.

Can’t you use the hit portion of toxic rain which has like 10% crit chance to maintain elusive from boots?
