Am I right in the assumption that the 15% Attack Speed on the first pair of Gloves is just better than 21% Projectile Damage on the second pair, but only when using Toxic Rain (hard bosses) - not with Caustic Arrow (everything else)?

Yep. Attack speed does nothing for caustic arrow really, but it's one of primary ways of scaling toxic rain. Projectile damage shares diminishing returns with every other inc damage mod, so it's not as impactful, hunter gloves with chaos damage over time multiplier would be stronger.

So I'm following this build and I'm clearly doing something super wrong! I've not fully switched from following the levelling trees to the endgame pob tree yet, but my dps when plugged into POB is pitiful - like, 220k.

I'm really not sure what steps I need to take to bring it up - if there's one single thing i've really obviously messed up, or if it's a case that all my gear is rubbish (it really is) and it's a million minor upgrades needed.

First and most obvious, get uber lab done. Join /global 820 and camp for trials if you're missing any.

Second, the amulet and quiver are rubbish and holding you back.

Quiver you want: life, chaos dot multi (hunter mod), attack speed (can be crafted), dot multi (hard to get together with the above, but ideal goal).

Amulet you want: +1 to chaos or dex gems (or both, but hard outside of harvest - both are hunter mods), chaos dot multi (hunter or elder), life, maybe room for -mana cost craft.

Gloves are kinda meh too, but at least they have resists so replace 3rd. You want again attack speed, chaos dot multi (hunter or elder) or if you can't get that, warlord's increased damage over time.

Also faster attacks is a bad support that doesn't scale well, because it's increased attack speed and not more attack speed. Use efficacy instead, or awakened swift affliction (if you have already a lot of duration stacked to counter the downside).

Finally, you set no pod overlap in POB.

Oh, and that medium cluster is of questionable quality. I'd try to get something with 4-5 passives and exposure therapy or brush with death.

any tips on getting the +3 bow in SSF? I have one with AS also rolled high (then just crafted chaos multi) but can't 6L it, so trying to roll the bow on a 6L imperial I have since 0.05AS isn't a big deal

Caustic arrow doesn't stack so attack speed does nothing beyond refreshing its duration. There's no point in getting it for CA. On the other hand TR loves AS since the pods stack.

Hi all i have some question to ask. I'm lv 81, still going strong, build is fun and all, but i have 3.8k life and 1.4k es and i feel a bit squishy. I don't have much room for improvement in the equip if not some +% maximum life jewel. What should i change?


Also, i feel that single target is slow. On some bosses like guardians and conquereors i stack up lots and lots of pods and they slowly die, too slowly. I have the wither totems by the way. I'm planning on changing the bow in the near future, but is there anything more? Thanks


Edit: another question. I saw that on the market there are some pretty nice +3 bow with cdot and dot for 8+ ex. SInce the guide says minimum is 10ex to craft it, it's safe to buy one of them or that part of the guide is outdated and it's cheaper to craft it?

You have lvl 18 toxic rain what do you expect? Buy a lvl 21 or at least lvl 20.

Also don't use QOTF if you don't even have a jade flask. Bet it's giving you negative movespeed atm. Yep, imported in pob and it gives -12% movespeed.

The flasks have bad affixes in general and you'll most likely die from bleed or curses.

I looked at the bows. And they are 20EX+ six-lin., If you have dot + attack speed just the cleaning and crafting usually cost 8ex without six-link or getting the base. So if you see bow, like in the guide for 8ex, it is a steal. :)

Does anyone know where I can find a guide for crafting +4 or more skills on bows? Ive been looking at some nice crafts and have no idea how to attempt rolling them.

Are you refereing to the bows that have like "+1 to socketed strength gems" & "+1 to socketed dexterity gems"?

If so, those are delve modifiers as can be seen here at the following link: https://poedb.tw/us/mod.php?cn=Bow

You can get delve modifiers on items by using fossils, specifically you'd want to use a Faceted fossil.

The following thread started its craft with Faceted/Aetheric fossil combo, but finished it with Harvest crafts that are no longer available.

If you wanted to use more fossils, I would suggest Metallic & Corroded to eliminate the possibility of rolling physical & elemental modifiers, respectively. In the end, its gonna take a good bit of luck.

I hope this helps.
