👑[3.4] Trickster 👑 MoM Caustic Arrow & Toxic Rain 👑 600+ Depth 👑 Uber Elder Down 👑EZ Budget 👑

You can run this build purely on a quill rain, I would only recommend going for a +3 bow if you're looking at doing uber elder or very deep delves.

Weapon 1:
We want a quill rain because It works very well with toxic rain, you're able to shoot out a lot more pods that all overlap each other doing a decent amount of single target and you can also clear with caustic arrow while using quill rain while doing easier content when you don't need the higher caustic arrow dot.



Weapon 2:
As our second weapon we want a bow with Plus to gem level for caustic arrow, this bow is optional but can be really nice for clearing higher level content where a quill rains damage isn't sufficent.



Off-hand 1 & 2:
As for our quiver we mainly want additional arrow quivers but these can be costly so a decent Life/attack speed quiver can work, just make sure that if you have resistances on our quivers that you balance them out on both so you aren't under capped when you swap.



Helmet:
As for helmets it really depends on what you're aiming to do with the build, for instance I use a devotos devotion while mapping for the extra movement speed and attack speed but change to a lions pelt when doing harder content like delves, shaper and uber elder etc.

As for the enchant, I believe that caustic arrow area of effect is the best enchant for general clearing, If you're using temporal chains then the temporal chain effect enchant is definitely a must get but if you aren't then Caustic Arrow damage, Toxic rain damage both work well.



Gloves:
As for gloves we really want to fill our resistances out, so aim for a high life and resistance pair of gloves and if you can get some mana, attack speed or intelligence that's a nice bonus.

If you're looking to go further than just a decent rare pair of gloves you could start buying up gloves with the stats you want and vaaling them for either +1 frenzy, Plus to gems for your curses or attack speed are all decent.



Boots:
Again same as helmets this really depends on playstyle and what you're aiming to do, for instance I use a pair of seven-league steps with a movement speed enchant for mapping, a pair of kaom's roots for uber elder and a pair of windshriek for the +1 curse for harder content.

Using the +1 curse boots for temporal chains isn't exactly needed I put it into the build because once I hit delve 400+ I started to get overwhelmed and needed more defences, so you could use a pair of atziri's steps as your all round boots if you don't need the extra defences from temporal chains.

As for the boot enchants I'd say movement speed when you haven't been hit recently and attack speed when you've killed recently are both the enchants you want when clearing maps and Life and mana regeneration when you've taken a hit recently is the enchant you would want for more difficult content such as bosses and high tier maps/delves etc.



Chest:
For our chest piece we aim for a cloak of defiance, we're able to get a size-able mana pool making cloak of defiance a really good defensive chest piece giving us up to another 2,500 eHP



Amulet:
We have two options when it comes to amulets, our best option would be getting a despair impresence allowing us to use a despair blasmepy for free and also giving some life/damage and maddening presence which reduces the damage/speed of anything in it.

Our second a cheaper option would be just a normal rare amulet with Life/Mana and resistances.

If you aren't using an impresence I recommend using a witchfire brew for the Despair.



Rings:
As for rings we mainly just want Life/Resist rings, If you can get some mana, strength or intelligence that's also a bonus.

If you're planning to go as deep as you can in the delve then getting percent evasion will help avoiding one shots at times.

If the rest of your gear is really good and you've got a lot of resistances elsewhere you can look at crafting some increased chaos damage rings with essences of envy, getting up to another 60% increased damage onto the build.



Belt:
We have a couple of options when it comes to belts, the most simply and cheap option is to get a generic Life and resist belt preferably a stygian and the second is to craft or buy a belt with the aberrant fossil mod, increased chaos damage.

Also for the jewel in the stygian I aim for onslaught on kill because while mapping the up time should be decent and 20% movement and attack speed can make a world of difference.



Jewels:
For our main jewels we're looking for jewels with Life, mana and damage.

Mods that affect our damage:
Projectile damage
Chaos damage
Damage over time
Damage
Area damage



As for our Watchers eye, I went towards 15-20% damage taken gained as mana over 4 seconds for sustained mana, If you can get a secondary mod that is either another mana stat or grace those both work well, Just make sure that If you do get one with damage is taken from mana before life that you have a sufficient mana pool to sustain it (50% of your life) otherwise it will be wasted.



Flasks:
I have a couple different flask setups:

Mapping:


Delve:


Uber Elder:

Bandits:
None of the options give us anything worth 2 skill points so we kill all.

Lab - Normal: We take patient reaper first for the damage and sustain while making our way to prolonged pain.

Lab - Cruel: Prolonged pain is by far our best damage source in the build so getting this will make leveling feel a fair bit smoother.

Lab - Merciles: Swift Killer, Frenzy charges give us more damage and attack speed per charge while also giving us 5% increased damage per frenzy and power charge.

Lab - Uber: Weave the Arcane, this node isn't as important until you start using a cloak of defiance but once you do this node is extremely good, giving us a lot better mana pool and sustain.

Pantheon:

Soul of Arakaali, the extra sustain after taking a damage over time and taking reduced damage from damage over time feels pretty good but you could choose Lunaris for the mitigation when you're getting over ran.

Soul of Gruthkul, mainly mitigation for getting swarmed, If you find yourself standing still a lot then tukohamas mitigation and regen can feel pretty good.

Helmet:


Chest:


If you're using a 5-link then drop increased duration.

Increased duration also increases the duration of wither and also increases duration of the pods by a pretty significant amount.

Weapon 1:


if 5-link drop void manipulation

Weapon 2:


If you only have a 5link then drop void manipulation

If you don't have a bow with +1 to gems or a level 3 empower I would recommend dropping empower for either Conc effect, Efficacy or mirage archer.

Gloves:


If you are planning on not going the temporal chains route then drop temporal chains and enlighten and you can put in increased area of effect for despair.

If you're able to buy a quill rain, tabula and a theifs torment before leveling this build you will have one of the smoothest leveling experiences you've ever had with toxic rain, other than that there aren't any other important leveling items.

If you're starting off the build with a tiny budget you can still level it super easily, just grab a toxic rain and once you hit lvl12 you should be well off, You should be able to buy a quill rain after you first act or two after a few currency drops this should easily carry you to act 9 aqueducts once there just keep farming it until you get yourself a tabula and with those two items you should easily be able to hit yellow maps.

Leveling Links = Toxic Rain - Vicious Strikes - Void manipulation - Mirage archer - Swift affliction - Decay = In that order (Just a reminder you can't buy a Vicious Strikes as a shadow so try buy one or get it off another character)
