[3.13]🏹 Poison Barrage-VF / Scourge Arrow / TR PF | Bottled Fortify | The Tankiest Ranger + High DPS
" Oh hey. Thank you. Glad you stop by. Really liked your poison build in 3.9. You are right that wither totems can inflict withered stacks pretty fast. However, imo the issue with wither totem is not how fast they build up withered stacks but rather how reliable they are in a prolonged fight. Mobs target totem first, so in challenges such as simulacrum or 100% delirious T18/T19 map, you would spend most of the battle playing without the totem support because they get destroyed as long as the mobs arrive. On the other hand, using a MiA/blast rain setup not only helps you build up withered stacks more reliable during the fight but also provides a good chunk of immediate DPS (700K sirus DPS with Aw unbound ailment for mobs clearing, or 400K sirus DPS with inc. duration support for withered stack gen.) I also have a jewel that has +chance to knockback which, I think, complements the MiA/blast rain quite nicely.

" Last time we checked, your char dealt 1.4M DPS. Now your tally is at ~3M, and you said you dealt no damage. JJ For single target, as I wrote in my OP, you would want the recommended helm enchant and +1 arrow for pod positioning. Without the +1 arrow, you have to precisely move your cursor such that the target stands in the middle of your spore pods. Otherwise, most of your thorn arrows don't hit the target, wasting your PoB's DPS. Poison Scourge Arrow/Toxic Rain + Blast Rain PF| Bottled Fortify:

" Yeah that's true, they are not very good for Sims. Btw, Glorious Vanity can have Wither on hit on some node. Would be perfect here so ill paste a player comment from my build. Maybe you dig up the right one. " |

" Thanks a lot TorsteinTheFallen. Really appreciate the information sharing. I tried all the numbers from that post, no stock. Then randomly bought a Doryani with number 2092. It turns out like this:  Full list: " Is it good or just mediocre? Another Doryani number that also grants Ritual of Shadows (3 skill points) on the same socket: 5077.

Hey, I know that my damage has close to doubled but my biggest problem is that I run out of mana during some bosses and as such its hard to keep the DPS up. I'm probably looking to craft an Ornate quiver with the +1 Arrow and Frezny Charges. I can't seem to cap my resistances yet without an embalmers so a fenemus weave is not possible ATM. I'll let you know when I do craft the quiver and the helmet.
When I said no damage last time I meant that I struggled on red map bosses, now I'm struggling on bigger bosses so it's def improved but no where near what I want it to be. |

"That might be because showcased gear has a chest with "socketed attacks have -15 mana cost" and scourge is put there, not in bow. What it says: " Without it you'll have to be creative about solving the mana issues. |

" Thanks Viktranka. @1000Ilove: I was joking in the previous post, hence the JJ at the end. Good luck with your build. Poison Scourge Arrow/Toxic Rain + Blast Rain PF| Bottled Fortify:

Question - your PoB shows Despair as a socketed/used gem. But once Enlighten hits usable levels, there isn't any room for a Despair gem? Is it planned to get a ring with despair on hit, or am I missing something?

" The Despair on Hit you see in my build comes from the corrupted implicit on the gloves. Before that, I had a Hunter's ring with a Despair on Hit mod on it.

Okay thanks!
For your reserved mana - what all are you running? Without Enlighten, I have Dread Banner, Herald of Agony, Flesh and Stone, and Aspect of the Spider running and have 200+ mana left for use, which seems like more than I need. What is the benefit to running Enlighten over Despair - am I supposed to be squeezing in Grace? Edit: Also, with the synergy of Perfect Agony that we get from Coralito's, wouldn't a Spike-Point quiver work better giving an additional 15% multiplier? I'm not the most knowledgeable in the numbers and mechanics of things, maybe the flat phys damage is more, but I keep hearing multiplier > %, so just don't know the order of priority that we're scaling here.
