On your cluster jewel setup, you recommended a large cluster with Touch of Cruelty. I'm looking into this build but as far as I'm aware, Death Aura doesn't "hit" and so it's basically a dead notable on the cluster, isn't it? Unless you're hindering in some other way? The "Withering Presence" occultist notable doesn't itself inflict Hinder.

I would assume the easiest way would be to do this with a Curse Mastery that Hinders nearby Cursed enemies.

Possibly a glove enchant might spell "hit" an enemy to activate the 10% hinder chance on Touch of Cruelty, but that definitely wouldn't give 100% uptime.

That's actually true, haven't really thought of that. I will look into that more if it's worth getting something else or just having the other 2 :)

Thank you!^^

Just wanted to add to the conversation, there's a deterministic way to craft an excellent bow for caustic arrow. First, start with a non-synthesized, non-influenced base. Alteration/augment until you have the t1 suffix "damage over time multiplier." Then regal and annul until you have only that suffix on a rare base (and no prefixes). Then craft "up to 3 crafted modifiers" (2 div) and "cannot roll attack modifiers" (1 div). This will give your item full suffixes, and completely empty prefixes. Now you hit it with an exalted orb, and the ONLY option is +1 socketed gems. Then you hit it with a hunter's exalted orb and the only option is increased chaos damage over time, of t4 - t1 range. Then you can remove crafted mods, re-craft "up to 3 crafted modifiers" and also craft +2 socketed support gems, and chaos damage over time multiplier. The end result is a bow like my occultist "InfluxPops" has equipped.

Mind if I perhaps make a video on this? :)

I did this in a similar way for EK Ignite, but I think you can just skip the alt spam/regal/annul part if you just buy a T1 fractured dot multi bow as those aren't very expensive depending on the base.
