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

So I crafted this quiver it has chaos multi and +1 arrows but the rest of the stats are garbage, should I try and sell it or just keep it?

Hi boyz,

What do you think about str stackin version of SA ? Is it worth to min max it when am lookin for fast maper / endgame build. ? What about surivality of this version?

Anyone tried it? THnks in avance for info.

It can be comparable in terms of survivability, depends how much you want, what auras you opt to go with. You lose elusive from boots, thats one thing you can't really replace.

I'm pretty happy with my setup, changed few things, some more expensive as bottled faith, ditched arctic armour in favor of malevolence, broke 30mil in pob with thorn arrows (no Coralito's Signature flask).
Playing with huge dps is pretty fun, bosses die really fast, almost doesn't feel like dot build anymore, shit gets drained so rapidly.

I'm wondering about watchers eye viability with this mod:
Damaging Ailments you inflict deal Damage 15% faster while affected by Malevolence

It feels this should make more impact than chaos multi, since less damage will get "wasted" on bosses. I know total dps stays same, it doesn't change it, but over certain period of time we will do more dps. Seems useful on a build that ramps poison on bosses to the level, you can tell that if boss had 3x more health, it would die maybe 2-3s later, poison dps is so high towards the end of its regular hp.

Sand Stance all day, Blood is useless for the build. As for mana problems, you need an Enlighten Support gem attached to Arctic Armor/F&S/HoAG so you can actually operate. I'd suggest ditching AA initially too and swapping it for like Vitality or something more lightweight. Being stuck on ~30 mana on no regen maps is a bad time if you like to roll around a lot.

I understand but that still doesnt explain how i keep up all 4 buffs including aspect of the spider considering it puts me at 113% reserved mana.

It should be 100% to run all four of those because they're all 25% reservation skills. If it's more than that, then you've got some supports attached to them somewhere which isn't ideal.

This.

If one links the aura/herald to support gems that increase mana reservation, one will end up having to reserve more mana than one has to.

Hi, loving this build so far. The build really starts to shine once invested enough.

I have a question for the focus mechanic. I'm quite lazy to manually pop focus to do burst damage, so I have currently binded focus on my LMB so it procs automatically while I move around. I'm wondering whether this is a big dps loss or not.

I also binded Focus on my LMB in Harvest. I did have Focus (Ailment duration on helm and 120% Fortify on chest). I do have a reserved Focus on my MMB for boss that I rarely used.

I guess what you meant was Tailwind. Elusive on crit is not reliable with SA. Tailwind is.

Since you are doing strength-stacking and don't crave flat chaos damage, I think you would want to try double-influence'ing your bow Elder/chance poison to deal 2x damage) and Hunter/poisons deal damage 25% faster. Also take the Wasting Affliction notable on the med cluster (if you haven't taken).

Yea I was thinking about tailwind, my bad, used boots with both so many times I get them mixed up.

As for the bow. Sure such bow would be nice, but crafting it is another story. I want 2 other suffixes, such as attack speed and additional arrow, which makes it difficult. Maybe if I got arrow from quiver instead?

I'm also finding it really difficult to upgrade from covenant chest.. surprisingly. Everything is a damage loss even ones with 12% strength. And other mods are hard to utilize, extra curse would be nice, but then you need gloves with 2 curses, and ones I use nobody is really temple-corrupting, so thers none to buy.

Lastly Wasting Affliction indeed was a consideration, but for raw damage, eternal suffering seems to be quite nice. It basically guarantees starting fights with 5 whiter stacks already, makes whole stacking process easier, and also adds those stacks to trash on first hits. I'm pretty sure this counts as far more damage than any other notable you can get on jewels. Ofc its different story if you are kiting T19 delirium and they are all bombarded with your blast rain, then this loses its value. But for faster clears you gonna apply lot of wither via just eternal suffering. For regular T16 corrupted map + 4 sextant + zana mod + some scarabs, i don't even use blast rain, maybe for boss, but it dies in like 2-3s anyway, could just as well ditch it. Thers probably good merit to go totems in such case, if you only gonna cast it once per map, A 4L totem setup will probably even apply 15 withers faster than blast rain as it is its only purpose. If only there was a way to solve mana situation we could even go kaoms heart then.
Ofc thers always an argument that you don't need any of this vs regular T16 trash mobs, because franky, it doesn't make any difference, you could remove half of your gear and still clear the same, damage is magnitudes higher than needed for this type of content.
