Evasion Build -

Armour Build -




Bow - Either Quill Rain or a Rare Bow like above.

Body -
Evasion Build - Queen of the Forest 6L
Armour Build - Belly of the Beast 6L

Helm -
Evasion Build - Devouring Diadem with Strength and Intelligence unveils.
Armour Build - Rare helm with 19-20% mana reservation efficiency, lots of life and you can aim for any missing attributes or spell suppression.

Gloves - Get as much attack speed and life as you can. Then get your spell suppress and resistances.

Boots - If you want ele ailment immune along with Stormshroud, you need to get % chance immune to shock + exarch implicit.
Increased damage with non-caal skills is a nice damage boost while using vaal haste.
Try to get good life regeneration as well.

Eldrich Mods we like:
Gloves:
+% suppress with Eater
+% Attack speed with Exarch

Boots:
+% Enduring Cry CD rate or movement skill CD rate with Eater
+% shock immune with Exarch

Helm:
+% Mana Reservation Efficiency with Eater
+% Reduced Mana Cost of Attacks with Exarch




Accessories

Spoiler




Mage blood would obviously be best; if you can get one.
Otherwise a Rare belt Life, resistances and increase effect of flasks.

Various options for rings. Look at the above sets and use the ones that fit your build best. Do not discount Death Rush due to its very low value. Adrenaline is actually quite insane for Toxic Rain.

Replica Dragonfang’s Flight with +3 Toxic Rain. Fish for good double corrupts when you have spare currency.




Jewels

Spoiler






The cluster Jewels are super easy to get or craft. You can spam the CJ with a chaos fossil or skip making them and get one from the trade site.

Wicked Pall & Unwavering Evil are your best friends. On Large CJs also grab Unholy Grace.

The evasion build uses less CJs. If you are on more of a budget, maybe start with that build and go into the armor build later on.

Pantheons & Bandits

Spoiler

Major:
Soul of Lunaris - General best for this build
or
Soul of Arakaali - Helps with DoT damage if you do not have enough regen.

Minor:
Soul of Abberath - Immune to burning ground.
or
Soul of Shakari - If you prefer help against poisons or chaos DoT

Your goal should be to have enough regen and get poison immune so that you can just use Lunaris and Abberath full time.

Bandits - Kill All

Caution

Cordyceps don’t care


Don't

This build is really good at doing 8-mod corrupted maps. If you are having trouble with them this build could be the answer.


Bosses
Spoiler


All Bosses - Just dodge what you can, refresh your totems and keep blasting them with Toxic Rain. I did not find that any of the bosses gave me a particularly hard time.
