Dejuvenate's Quillrain Toxic Rain. Beastly AOE and single target. WIP.

Solid template for a build, I'm running something similar but using MoM.... I think half of the Trickster points are wasted if you don't go MoM or have some kind of mana taken as damage aspect.

Barrage on attack totem seems like overkill atm BUT I haven't done any end game bosses yet

Started doing red maps at 78 with ease with about 3ex to 5ex invested in gear BUT you can easily do it with 1/2ex in gear..... only must have is a Drillneck not even a 6link.... mirage archer seems like overkill atm

I was looking at your POB and don't understand why you take Potency of Will instead of Exceptional Preformance. Wouldn't the latter one save you one skillpoint (for the 10 Int node)?
Just curious if there is a difference I am missing.

Yeah - good spot there. I'm only lvl 66 but I've found the build needs as much INT as it can get, and if we take Exceptional performance instead then it saves 1 point which could be put into a +30 INT note (instead of +10 INT node) instead.

This is the first build I've done where there is such discussion over what works well ... I see people with really quite different builds all being successful with the same core skill(s). Interesting :)

I found an empower lvl 4 in a delve session, any use in this build?

Lvl 21 toxic deals 316.5 dps
Lvl 24 toxic deals 437.5 dps

Increase is 38% MORE damage

Lvl 20 Void manipulation gives 38% more dmg

Lvl 20 swift affliction gives 22% more dmg without any duration nodes. It gives 31% more damage with 1 duration cluster and prolonged pain.

Lvl 20 mirage archer gives 35.6% more damage

Lvl 20 vicious projectiles gives 0.9x1.49 = 34.1% more damage


I would say empower 4 can and should replace swift affliction as it gives more damage and without the less duration effect.

What about using Decay instead of Swift Affliction? The PoB total DPS is showing higher for me.

Decay doesnt stack with itself, as PoB only counts 1 pod, the dmg looks like this

(A = dps of a single pod)

"

Dps = A + decay

Our actual dps, stacking n pods around that area

"

Dps = n * A + decay

As we stack attack speed and inc aoe, the value of decay decreased significantly.

Got %99 inc aoe, it works w/ 8proj very well. still crafting my +1 quiver or +1 quill rain. got lucky w/ +2 corrupted qotf. ehp is 7.1k

The guide mentions Increased Area of Effect has some of the best actual DPS for this skill but it looks like hardly anyone uses that support gem according to poe.ninja.

If we use Essence of Delirium on an Amulet for "% of Chaos Damage Leeched as Life" will we actually be leeching from all our DOT effects?

On the subject of Essence crafting, Envy on Jewelry might be a nice DPS boost.

The majority of our DPS comes from the toxic rain pod dots (the ground effect), not the explosion at the end of the duration.

So no, the leech won't work.

In fact, this is one of the issue I am trying to figure out. Against mobs and maps, this build really rocks. I struggle against bosses as I have no reliable way to leech.

Looking into LGoH and just rely on the explosion to sustain...
