[3.13]🏹 Poison Barrage-VF / Scourge Arrow / TR PF | Bottled Fortify | The Tankiest Ranger + High DPS

Constantly forget to ask this. Wolfie, why you used Blast Rain and not Toxic Rain for apply Withering Touch? DMG should be scale better with TR, no?

If you can add multiple range totems that fire TR non-stop (see how Football did), it'd possible. Otherwise, the TR is not as useful in inflicting withered because only the explosion's hits from TR can cause withered, yet the explosions are spreading out. And when you add Inc duration to TR, it'll increase the explosion delay time. As a result, if a target is constantly moving, you will not able to maintain the withered stacks.

Blast Rain, on the other hand, has instant explosion, and, unlike TR, all BR explosions overlap on the target. All these make BR a better skill to inflict and maintain withered.

Seriously, thank you again Wolfie - sometimes I feel like I know what I'm doing, and I'm just doing it completely wrong. Yeah - with a hit of 9000 the phys reduction definitely works.

TR definitely deals way more damage as a support skill than BR, but for applying Wither w/ Mirage Archer I really couldn't find any skill better than Blast Rain. I've actually experimented a lot with dumb idiot support ballista totems and my current power picks are Toxic Rain & Rain of Arrows. RoA gives free maim and an avenue to apply Bleed if you go with a Steady Torment notable on your medium clusters, while TR is TR and melts T16 packs even on a 5-link with no real damage links whatsoever.

I'm also fairly sure that the initial arrow landing can apply wither to enemies as well, BUT that'd just be a single arrow out of the pack which won't stack Wither to any meaningful level with solely Mirage Archer.

Sandevasfootball, WolfieNa thx for explanation.

Slottm, ty for advices. I am look in to your setup.
Have some questions:
1. No Coralito's? No move flask?
2. You say you dont use MS. What the point than place it in setup, when VMS prolongue VGrace recharge?
3. Currently even with enlightenment 4, i can use HoAgony+Aspect of Spider and Grace OR Malavelence. + free determenation from Aul's. Currently i pick up Grace. What extactly you use?
4. Still dont see how you deal with overlap Blood Rage.

No prob, bro. Shaper's slam deals 9.9k (phys) damage. So 10% PDR(phys dam reductuon) means you take ~1k damage less from such massive hits. In addition, PDR works against phys dot as well. I'd recommend +4% PDR beside the +1 endu charge from boots. And yeah, the degen from Blood rage is phys dot, so PDR helps, too.

Having said that, if you can't afford a WE with both mods (Malev + Deter), taking the WE with one deter will be nice to give you a little boost defensively.

No coralitos - I use a move flask over overflowing chalice except in boss fights
You're right - VMS probably does just increase vgrace recharge - but it was a cheap pickup at the time - I'll replace it

I use HOAG, Spider, Malev, Determination - no grace (just vaal grace)

Bloodrage doesn't really seem to do that much to me? like standing still with no flasks I outregen it...

Its not much but still.... just bug me :) You know when you stare in Ritual sub-menu, decide what pickup, and your life slow drain away.

Wolfie, Slottm ty. Atm i need we and some item with Focus.

Btw someone in this topic complain about to much button to press.
Well long time ago i bought VoiceAttack for Elite Dangerous, but eventualy it work quet good with PoE voice command or keybind. As i remember GGG allows macros if it does do not more than you can do yourself(correct me if i am wrong).
Maybe for someone it will be an answer.

Quick Harvest Boss fight for ppl to check out!

Was thinking to showcase everyboss so ppl can see this build (even old verision with SA) can faceroll everything.

Any opinion on that?

Go ahead! I'd be happy to include you guys' footage in the guide.

I'll see if I can remember to record something of me doing Maven invitations or the like to showcase my own Idiot Variant. Currently I'm around 20+ exalts deep in a crafting hole pursuing my ultimate chestpiece that is probably worse than one I already have!!!
