I'm sorry if this question was already made but could this build be possible too with Toxic Rain instead of CA?

Thanks for this build :)

How much should I expect to spend to switch over to CI? I was doing a TR build but I like the feel of caustic much more and love the look of this build.

what do you mean by losing the explosions, from asenath's ? you do realize the explosions are based on the mobs life, not yours, right?

I'm already CI, but as I don't have enought currency for them, I went with the large cluster jewel chaos explosion instead. It only procs 10% of the time but the explosion hits harder, so far I'm liking it, was build changing for my old clearspeed.

I just don't like 2 things about the build
1 - The ensnaring arrow/frenzy that both seem to miss a lot and are harder to aim. I am thinking of switching to bane, just don't know what other supports to add to it.
2 - Arrow nova. While some of it's interaction is nice, feels to slow and hard to aim correctly sometimes. I'm ok with switching to concentrated effect for big bosses, but for map bosses and even some rares I'd like to have something easier to aim, so I'm thinking of testing Dying sun as someone recommended + chain/fork and even maybe drop an attack enhancing gem to GMP if/when my damage is big enough. It frees 2 points from the jewel as well, if you don't have the quiver corrupt already. Projectile Speed does help a lot with it though, it improved a lot since I got it on the bow.

I personally use Bladefall to apply the curse along with using a Witchfire Brew. It's a spell so it doesn't miss and the area is big enough to where you don't really have to aim it.

Maybe stupid question, but what's the benefit of using spell with curse on hit instead of hand cast curse? Is it faster, uses less mana, has bigger area, longer duration? I don't think it's because of extra damage because we won't scale spell damage really?

I did try in the past rain of arrows in maloney's but that was because it required a bow skill to work, saved me a cast, and covered large area (contrary to frenzy or ensnaring arrow), but I don't wanna go that route again and your idea sounds interesting. Just curious what are the upsides and downsides of it.

First of all, I would like to thank Brittleknee for this amazing guide.

I have been leveling smoothly (mostly deathless) ever since I have switched to CI. Have reached 10000 es and around 9700 evasion with no flasks up. However, damage has since become an issue when I reached T14/T15 and some end game maps like Simulacrum and mastermind fight. I would die constantly to the boss once I have run out of flask charges and Vaal discipline.

According to pob, my character reaches around 1M dot when I switched out arrow nova for concentrated effect, which feels kind of weak against end game bosses.

I am saving towards a level 4 empower and perhaps fossil craft a +1 chaos skill gem amulet. I would appreciate any suggestions to boost my dot damage (even at the cost of some survivability).

Stay sane, exiles.
