Gloves need the +1 AOE gems / Increased AOE craft, that puts us right in the sweet spot for AOE multiplier at x1.39.

Can you explain a bit this part ? I'm not sure I understand or how to check on PoB that we have the proper AOE Multiplier ?

With 5 arrows and no conc effect, you want 39% aoe, which is easy to get.
9% from gloves or amulet.
10% from 20 quality normal Toxic Rain.
20% from Bow Mastery.

What he said. ^^^

Also, how you check is to load up your character in POB, go to the calculations tab, set the Socket Group at the top to you bow Toxic Rain, then look at the bottom right Orange box for "Skill type-specific Stats:", the second last line should read "Area of Effect Mod:" and list a multiplier.

Great , I'll check that , thank you both for the enlightenment

Got bored. Swapped from 39% aoe, 5 arrow to 0% aoe, 6 arrow, 15% anom conc for more overlaps and damage. Will also run Aspect of the Spider (after few lvls) and Vitality. Couple of things are scuffed. Puzzle game with res and str: 1 ring, corrupted blood jewel and one med cluster. No good stuff online on the market, so gotta wait.
Also dropped Viridi and went with double elevated mana reserv eff + minus chaos res rare.

Hi, Just switched to this and the damage seems to be low via POB, would you be kind enough to check over my pob too see whats wrong? thank you :)

You need to configure POB properly. Check frenzy charges, Toxic Rain number of overlapping pods is 5, wither stacks is 15, set enemy to Sirus.

Unconfigured: 1.2m
Configured: 7.4m

I changed a few things around. This is a bit of a different approach and was created out of curiosity rather than pure damage gains. Dont ask me why I capped chaos res. I just wanted to :).

About to craft my gloves. Does our build benefit from Elevated Culling Strike ? Or not needed with the bench craft ?

This is complicated. The simple answer is, keep your AOE multiplier at 1.39. This is why we use the +1 AOE gems / increased AOE craft, because it makes it easy to hit exactly 1.39.

If you change the number of projectiles, this may change - and there may be other sweet spots as well, but that's where it gets complicated. Significant testing has gone into the toxic rain / 5 pods / 1.39 AOE multiplier to maximize DPS.

Ah thank you, should be alrate for sirus then. TA
