(3.14) Toxic Rain + Caustic Arrow | 5-10m Sirus DPS | Fast + Durable | 50c Budget/SSF Uber Elder

Make sure you get one with the "Corrupted Blood cannot be inflicted" mod, it's one of the best QOL upgrades in the game!

First off, here is your PoB with configuration: https://pastebin.com/sPQby856

First thing I noticed is that you are using 4 unique armor items which will make capping resists challenging at best, and rendering 100% elemental ailment immunity impossible. If you want the ailment immunity you will need to swap two pieces to rare items. I recommend you keep the Vertex and Atziri's Step, and search for gloves and body armor with life, missing resists and the appropriate prefix/suffix open to bench-craft elemental ailment avoidance.

Here are search parameters assuming you are wanting to craft elemental ailment avoidance to achieve 100%;

Body Armor: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Heist/2dZDjjVFk

Gloves: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Heist/wonOL9Kub

Now, dropping the Perfect Form body armor means you will lose Phase Acrobatics. You have 3 choices; 1) forget about it (not recommended) 2) re-allocate 5 points to get Phase Acro, or 3) use a Thread of Hope jewel in place of your current Soul Prism viridian jewel.

ToH jewel: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Heist/eRjkOj4hL

You are using a talisman as your amulet; you cannot annoint a talisman (tho I have seen talismans drop from heist contracts with an annointment). I recommend using a rare amulet with life, needed resists, an open prefix for mana cost craft, and if you have extra currency +1 to chaos skill gems. You will want to annoint either "Potency of Will" or "Corruption" (I recommend PoW).

The only reason you should use a Level 1 Clarity is if you are using a Watcher's Eye jewel with the mod "Non-Channelling Skills have # to Total Mana Cost while affected by Clarity".

I hope this helps!

"We tell people that Path of Exile league starts are a fair playing field for everyone, and we need to actually make sure that is the reality."

A BLATANT LIE by the HMFIIC.
Perhaps GGG should consider a leadership change.

[Edit - made a few levels and updated the text, same help still applies]

Hey All,

I'm really enjoying running this build! This guide has helped me a ton, and this is my second league overall and the first time I have been able to kill Sirus and run some end game content.

I feel like I am a little squishy in endgame content and have been one-shot multiple times in medium T14+ maps and am looking for advice on what to upgrade next. According to POB I'm at 675k DoT DPS (standard boss) with 4300 life and 1900 es and resistances capped.

I use TR for everything. I have CA on my chest that I use when in maps that have mana challenges because it costs 0 mana.

I have ~5ex and ~300c to spend and the only thing I can think to wait for is a clarity watcher's eye. Thanks everyone in advance!

I've been meaning to get back into Toxic Rain, I've played it quite abit before and always enjoyed it, its been a while now so maybe the time is nigh.
However, there are things that I cannot understand. Things that keep me up at night.
I often wake in the middle of the night, cold sweat dripping down my face.
I do not understand why half the people say that a Quill Rain is just as good as the bows with +1 to gems and +2 to support etc.

I think I understand that, there are different ways to scale the damage, but that's where I mentally log off and stop functioning.

Could anyone explain it to me like I am 5? For my own piece of mind

Edit: I think I get it now but lord almighty the wording and different mechanics in this game confuses the pasta out of me

Thank you for the information, I will start working on this.




this is my gear right now.. what should I aim next? I have maybe 10 ex budget.
I'm currently lvling my character, Vexfer_TR. I just got into white/yell maps. I have a 5ex budget.

What would you recommend me to aim for first with that budget? Also, I think I may have to redo my tree and gems setup a little bit. Haven't tried Caustic arrow yet.

(I need to finish uberlab and other stuff too)

Glancing over:
  • You can go for more level 21 corrupted skill & support gems. All your TR supports, for example, can be corrupted to try and get +1 level, or you can buy them already corrupted as such.
  • You can look for useful alt qualities on your gems, like Malevolence. I made a list over here if you want to look it over.
  • Your glove craft is not particularly useful without getting the remaining 75% elsewhere, which is usually from the same craft on a Hubris Circlet instead of Vertex.
  • Could throw some exalts at your quiver (or belt); no reason to leave empty mod slots. Alternatively, look for a quiver with similar mods but a more useful implicit, either another base (Sharktooth is probably best) or a corrupted quiver (+1 arrow is best, but probably quite pricey).
  • Could look for better rings/amulet (basically the same as what you have but with more life).
  • Could use Jorgin in research to corrupt your amulet into a talisman for a potentially more useful implicit. Look over the possibilities by tier on the wiki and decide which tier to aim for, though; don't just do it randomly.
  • Can always throw catalysts at your rings/amulet/belt for more resists or life.
  • Could throw an annul at your bow to try to remove the multimod, so you can then slam another potentially useful mod. There is the 50% chance to hit one of the non-crafted mods and brick it, though. (If you hit one of the other two crafted mods, you can just craft it on again.)
  • You can always upgrade jewels.
  • Could get another Atziri's Step, one with the same max dodge roll but a higher than minimum life roll. Could try for a useful corruption implicit while you're at it, though you'll want to quality & enchant it first.
