AROUND 100 CHAOS (without the empower gem):
- Depending on your budget, you can buy a bow with attack speed +1 socketed gems +2 socketed bow gems (like this: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Harvest/8L2p2niV)

AROUND 7 EXALTS:
- You can buy or craft a bow with +1 socketed gems +2 support gems +dot multi and chaos dot multi (like this: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Harvest/eomgQ0bsL)

crafting process is longer and you will need more experience with the game. Consists in:
*buy a bow 6L
*use transmutation, alteration and augmentation orbs it until you get attack speed + dot multi (it'll remain magic - blue item)
*regal orb it (it'll become rare - yellow) and try to get +1 socketed gems. If you get other crap, just remove with harvest craft (you'll have a rare item with attack speed and damage over time multiplier ONLY)
*block attack modifiers (you'll get on ur bench if you complete The Plaguemaw V Prophecy) on bench and exalt slam for +1 socketed gems
*craft multi mod (you will have this craft on ur bench if you do The Pale Court map)
*craft chaos dot multi (unveiling items)
*craft +2 support gems (you'll get this unveiling items dropped from Catarina on Sindicate missions)

_______________
My considerations on this build:
* get yourself at least a lvl 3 empower, it'll greatly improve your damage. the +3 bow and lvl 3 empower are CORE to the build begin to shine.

* for chestpiece, there are 2 approaches: offense and defense.
OFFENSE: carcass jack
DEFENSE: kintsugi <3

* and dont forget: your damage is greatly boosted by attack speed + AREA OF EFFECT + dot multiplier (not only chaos damage) + DURATION. I struggled a lot to squeeze damage from the build until I got a very large Thread of Hope below scion starting point and got all duration points I could.

* cinderswallow urn feels very good while mapping. Spitfire brew + dying sun are essential. get them ASAP.

* don't spend money on a Elusive + Tailwind pair of boots. You never crit so they feel useless.

* you wont need cluster jewels. They are pure luxury in my opinion.

* with 1 exalt you can do tier 10+ maps and never die.

* with around 10ex you can do tier 16 corrupted maps with ease (its kinda boring because you'll never die lol)

Wow, thanks for this!!! Great explanation.
Sure is hard to get all of the concepts together and what does what. Steep learning curve.

I got a 5L green gem bow with +1 to socketed gems and +10% attack speed so far:

Got another one in the stash ready to craft 6L and roll 1G to 1B:

I got lucky recently with a delve and found 1ex (which I sold) and then used some chaos to buy things like the Vertex and Aztiri's Step. I can map T5 pretty easily without dying. Something there is a spike in damage or damage which bypasses my shield killing me (if I only knew what type of damage that was).

If I were to link all my items would you mind looking into them and telling me where I went wrong or what items to upgrade?

Thanks for all those tips..
Going for that bow first

My items so far:

Apart from the bow, what would you change first?

Nice. Let's go (in order of priority):

Gems: get yourself a lvl 3 empower and use it as a 6th link (gems level relevance will be explained below)

Belt: get yourself a nice rolled Life and Resist belt, yours is terrible :D

Rings: focus on high life and resists. Chaos damage and attack speed are luxury, go for them when you get better currency

Chest: I'd go for Kintsugi (defensive) or Carcass Jack (offensive). Kintsugi reduces damage taken if you weren't hit recently, so considering you have high dodge chance you're never hit and when you do, kintsugi will reduce the damage you take. Carcass jack increases the area of effect of the pods, meaning they OVERLAP. Toxic Rain pods overlap and duration multiplies the damage applied.

Amulet: buy yourself a ilvl 82 amulet with hunter influence and try augmenting with chaos modifiers on harvest so you can get +1 to all chaos gems (or luckly you get +1 dexterity gems). Remember, the higher your toxic rain gem lvl, the higher will be your damage:

lvl 20 toxic rain: 285.1 pod base dps
lvl 30 toxic rain: 784.4 pod base dps (2,75x HIGHER!)

Gloves: Try to get a Warlord (ilvl 73 min.) with life, increased damage over time and increased projectile damage. Attack speed if possible.

Helmet: later on, get a hunter influeced one and try to get -9% chaos resist to nearby enemies.

Thanks!!!! I'll see what I can do with the budget I have. Not a rich player by far as this is my first character to make end game. I did play some POE when it first came out and went to like level 50 something.

I have an empower gem (level 1) now but will need the bow to support it. So far not lucky in crafts (just can't get the roll you listed in your previous reply) and the ones for sale are over my budget.

Got this belt in stash as well but no gem to put in the socket:

Would that belt be better if a good eye jewel would be bought or found?

Prio 1 is still the bow for now... Now pray to RNGesus for a few more chaos orbs (or exalts)
