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

Hey !

Wondering what TR build do.

What do you think about this build ? http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2866127/page/1

People tends to play trickster more, but it seems it isn't as good as it's presented.

Pathfinder or trickster ?

EDIT: Y i saw that you say don't play pathfinder because we don't scale this or this.

Op in other thread put a video online https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkzIuMDgSlc To show the difference in damage ((which looks very small)

So is it really that bad ? Doesn't pf build gain something ? Like even tankyness or something else ? It seems that pf damages are on par with trick ?

Hey guys,

I just want to say thanks for the build i just did Sirus 4 and the red maps are good.

TR is fine for map clear, thanks to the league crafting you can get a good bow for nothing.

I'm gonna switch to Empower+Awakened Gems setup soon to see how far we can push the build.

Again thanks for the build and have a great league !

It gets easier flask management — that's it. Trickster is better for everything else, basically.

Hey, i really like the skill Herald of Agony. Is there any way to add it into this build?

Did anyone find ways to make the bow crafting easier?

The 'remove X modifier' from T1 seeds makes it easier to isolate 2 good suffixes i guess. The synthesis implicit has big potential for +1 socketed gems or +2 socketed support gems, but its a T4 seed.

Does anyone see other options for us?

Not really, for herald of agony you want a dedicated poison build, TR does not classify as poison so it has no synergy with HOA.

Most common builds that use poison use other skills like scourge arrow, rain of arrows, blade vortex, cobra lash or pestilent strike. While there is a poison-focused toxic rain build I personally think it's weaker for poison skills than the other options. You also want to build different for poison, weapon with high physical + chaos flat damage which this build doesn't use or need.

Pathfinder or trickster ?

You can play whichever. Trickster is a bit more damage (hard to beat prolonged pain ascendancy node) and better in built defenses without having to flask piano. So from min max perspective people go trickster. PF was good for ailment immunity but now you can craft it on gear and get on clusters as any class.

But if you really like to play PF it's viable.

However keep in mind if you follow Remi's guide instead of this one, you might have a bit of a roadblock in the middle when upgrading from starter gear to end game gear.

It relies on getting corrupted carcass jack with correct corruption (or double corruption) as an end game center piece.

Personally I think bow crafting has cheaper and easier mid-game to progress through, GG bow might cost similar amount to double corrupted chest, but the mid range bow is much cheaper to make and plugs a gap in gear progression while with the other build you'll be stuck with quill rain and basic carcass until you have enough currency to insta jump to end game setup.

You also don't need tons of vaals to bench colour it or worse, have to link it as well (you can't garden craft on corrupted items).

Imo both setups work, but this one is more beginner friendly and easier to step by step upgrade.

Also keep in mind the videos were made in delirium where OP clusters could boost builds significantly, atm they're nerfed so you rely more on gear to carry your build.

Is it necessary to get 2 bows 6l? I mean, i just wanted to play with toxic rain but do i need another bow for caustic arrow? Like, will i ever need to use caustic arrow? Or its just a matter of preference?

Nah, man. I'm lvl 93 and have strictly used Toxic Rain. The clear speed is acceptable (in my opinion). CA 5L/6L on body armor is used for clear speed. You shoot Toxic Rain linked w/ mirage archer every 6 seconds and blast through instances with Caustic arrow. It's not necessary unless you want to get to 100 asap.

I dont need CWDT for Steelskin since I put Steelskin in the left click spot and its always active. What are good alternatives to add in CWDT's place?

No, you don't need to 6l your off hand for CA. I'm probably gonna drop 15 exalts on my off hand setup because I want to; just different budgets.

You can't really use another guard skill, some options are a curse like Enfeeble or I see some people trigger phase run. Up to you
