[3.13] TOXIC RAIN + HERALD OF AGONY Pathfinder Build (6-8K life) (UBER ELDER done!) +VIDEO GUIDE!

welp, i tested it, and inc duration is about 10% better than swift affliction, for my own setup.

also i probably would have gone trickster, but i thought i could get low enough in delve that my defenses would be tested, which is why i went raider. too bad its too much gated behind sulphite. at this point it would have been better to go trickster.

but ya, raider is way more defensive, and inc duration is better than swift affliction if focusing on the DoT of toxic rain.
plugging anything into PoB regarding this skill is null and void, because it doesn't consider pods, overlapping DoTs, or duration in the slightest.

also, inc aoe and even gmp/additional arrows, sure, will give you more aoe, but it also drastically broadens the aoe at which the pods are spread - so it basically equals out. might as well not use any of it since they don't give any inc dmg.
conc effect probably is good though, since the individual aoe's of the pods would shrink, sure, but the pods would be placed closer together because the general aoe of the skill would be reduced as well. it would even out.

only thing is, inc duration is by far the best stat to get when using a quill rain, mirage archer, and focusing the DoT of the skill.

For any DoT stacking inc.duration will always be #1, no doubt here, as it's literally a straight multiplier.

Also another video where i am researching how many pods you need to surpass CA dots!

If you wanna work with poison and herald of agony, might wanna look into rain of arrows + vaal rain of arrows, also wear dendrobite.

Get high pdps bow with decent attack speed and slot inc aoe.

17 arrows that explode when they land = gg

Seems taht you dont understand what means accumulative term and DoT dmg in role games. If u played D2 D2 LOD and D3 / RoS the dmg where accumulative without a penalty of stacking lots of dmg because the AS% having at the char. E.g. the necromancer at D2 and witch at D3, both where having the stacking up of DoT dmg , extremely because the high scale and brekeable 2.3 AS

Im with EH but leveling 20%Q TR with some chaos related gems which works with. Having 4.3 AS% total without buffs, the single target of high bosses are stupid with second EH, but sometimes test with non chaos dmg itms and nodes, and it does what didnt expect.

Slow bow is such a pain against bosses, but i agree that might be the best combo. Toxic Rain is not far away from RoA tbh

The mechanics have a huge difference though. Toxic rain arrows drop randomly (5 total), and hit a simgle point


Rain of arrows drop 17-21 arrows, half of which specifically hit mobs. They also explode when they land (similar to spore explosion at the end of toxic rain). You can stack poison faster that way, but I agree, slow bow is such a pain...

Does additional arrow really brings a lot of dps? Just got this and was curious which one gonna suit better

Soul strike has worked good with so far. Im going to try the wretch and see if it helps soon to.

Spoiler

Not a lot, but if you shoot 5 arrows, +1 arrow is 20% more dps.
