Build Mechanics

Toxic Rain: Toxic Rain shoots out a base 5 arrows (pods). Pods can stack, so area of effect is somewhat important. Attack speed is massively important in terms of DPS and enjoyment.

Recovery: With flasks up, we sit at a comfortable 45k Evasion to cap our QOTF, and 50/75 dodge/spell dodge. This means we rarely get hit, and when we do, we proc Ghost Shroud.

Passive Skill Tree

30 points -> 50 points -> 70 points -> 90 points -> Full Tree

Gear Details

Weapons

Honour Thirst Thicket Bow

Start out with a 5 link 1.5 base with +2 to socketed bow gems and a local attack speed craft. There's a couple incremental bows you can go to, but I went from the 5L +2 to this VP bow.

Quiver

Maloney's Mechanism Ornate Quiver, Entropy Shot Spike-Point Arrow Quiver, Golem Needle Spike-Point Arrow Quiver

I'm leaving Maloney's here incase people want to use it. I think with the new DOT mod on quivers, they're just too strong to pass up. Find another way to curse, I'm personally just hard casting it on bosses. a COH Ring is quite good, though.

Helm

The Vertex, Vaal Mask

You can use Eber's Unification if you want more damage, but I think Vertex is the best helmet here.

For lab enchants, +1 pod or +40% damage are both good. +1 pod was the only one available at the time, so I went with that.

Chest

Queen of the Forest, Destiny Leather

Just your average QOTF. Not sure what else you'd use here, as this was one of the key items I wanted to use in this build. If you don't care about QOTF/MS, using a well rolled EV/ES rare is better. You can also use a Perfect Form and drop Acro/Phase Acro for a more defensively built character.

Gloves

I use damage and ES gloves, but just find a rare that has life and fills out your resists until you start investing more currency into the build.

Boots

Atziri's Step, Slink Boots is how we get to 75 Spell Dodge. They also come with 30 movement speed, solid life, and good evasion. Perfect boots for the build.

JOOCY boots might be better now, with tailwind and elusive on crit. I don't have the money to test it yet.

Rings *IMPORTANT* 

YOU WILL WANT AN ELREON MOD You WILL want an elreon mod on both of your rings of -6 or -7. We get very close to full reserve, and we attack very quickly.

You can also find a ring with the temple mod "Xopec's" on it, which is considered a mana mod although it gives - total cost of skills.

Amulet

If you're using Steelskin, you're going to need to find a lot of strength here. If you cannot find adequate strength to run a high (20 or 21) Steelskin, you should drop it completely and instead run a low level CWDT-IC set up instead.

Flasks

Pretty standard flasks. I used a Witchfire Brew before I grabbed a Dying Sun.

I used to use a Stibnite flask for the extra evasion, but with the addition of Flesh and Stone, coupled with the massive physical damage from Vaal Legions, the % physical mitigation from a basalt is extremely helpful.

Jewels

DAMAGE WITH BOWS AND DAMAGE WITH TWO-HANDED WEAPONS DO NOT AFFECT THE DOT DAMAGE OF TOXIC RAIN. We do not hit WITH the weapon, so these mods don't apply.

Minus Maximum Mana clarity mod is really strong here. You can get malevolence mods as well, just look for a solid Watcher's eye that you can afford. On rare Jewels look for stuff with life and attack speed.

Before I got Bleed Immunity on my Watcher's Eye, I used a random jewel with the corruption "Corrupted Blood cannot be inflicted on you". You will still get affected by normal bleeds, but those are far less common. If you're playing this build on hardcore, I recommend you still use a staunching flask until you can get a bleed immune Watcher's Eye.

You will also want to get an abyss jewel with onslaught.
