How do you feel about Darkray Vectors? Gives me 90% evade/dodge at level 80 with pretty garbage gear. Plus 10% more movement speed and an additional frenzy charge.

seems like a really bad boots for this you.
it dosen't come with passive mov speed and it force's you to always keep frenzy charge's and
you lose 15% spell dodge +life for almost no upgrade seems really bad to me

Sure, it's nice, but with the number of uniques we're already using, it might be hard to cap res.

Great guide! Thanks for my build this league :D

I'll have to vouch for this build (did some minor changes). First build I did that let me do atziri (deathless trio, 1 avoidable death to enraged vaal, 1 avoidable death to split phase oops) at lvl 78 with crap gear and a 5L

All twinned challenges complete (Burning man hard. Twinned vaals deaths avoidable. Colosseum not EV/Acro friendly)

Bow used for lvl 78 atziri



Current gear (ignore the links in the chest. need to 5L it for Wither



Current tree :



Stats :

5k HP (a bit more if i can upgrade my helm)

20-21k Tooltip CA cloud damage (not including area damage jewels and Conc Effect)


Changes I made :

1 more Jewel Slot

Dualcurse blasphemy enfeeble+tempchains (enfeeble+vuln or tempchains+vuln for easy content)

Wither totem for bosses/dangerous rooms

Bloodrage instead of frenzy (will get a frenzy setup for bosses after I 5L my chest)


Things I need to do :

Considering swapping to Winds of Change for gloves and getting EV helmet

Maybe get Master of the Arena node for more STR and 1% regen

Level up masters to craft +3 bow

Get lucky with amulet corruption +1 curse and swap Doedre ring with a good rare

Glad to hear ppl are satisfied, thanks for the comments :)

I didn't really look into it too much yet, as I just got the gem last night. Vulnerability works wonders with the caustic clouds, but what about either replacing it or 6 linking the carcass jack and putting wither in as well? Wouldn't the increased aoe damage and increased chaos damage stack for huge amounts of output? I'm still in the process of getting the bow, and about 10 more passive points, so I am still at relatively low dps, so not really sure if it will be necessary for increased chaos damage once completed. Just wanted to ask since I didn't see a mention of it, and I am still a little ways off completing the build.

Wither isn't a curse, it is a spell, you cannot use it in a Curse on Hit setup.

Great guide overall, but you mention that the only stats we care about on our bows are +3 to gems, however on the wiki for Caustic Arrow http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Caustic_Arrow says that at level 20, 49% of your physical damage is converted to extra chaos dmg.

This means that rolling high phys mods on your bow is wayyy better than rolling stuff like resist.

You don't understand how the chaos cloud of Caustic Arrow scales. Physical damage on your bow won't do shit :) you scale the DOT through gem levels and DoT/chaos nodes in the tree / jewels.

How do you guys feel about adding alpha's howl and running grace+clarity+arctic armor?
