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

• T19 100% Delirious juiced map x Beyond (the hardest challenge): video, description.
• Revisit Poison Toxic Rain: having a breeze with Uber Elder.

• 17.9mil combined DPS (>90% poison), ~7.5k HP (lvl100), poison deals damage 32% faster (would be 42% with the boots that has 10% faster poison mod).
• Share the same gears with poison Scourge Arrow. For less budget, check out the Scourge Arrow PoBs.
• TR costs 0 mana.
• Assuming 5 overlapping explosions for 10 arrows.

• The defense is the same as our Scourge Arrow main build, i.e. super tanky.
• The offense is based on inflicting as many poison stacks on enemies as possible, i.e. damage scaling, gearing and gem setup are completely different from the conventional chaos DoT Toxic Rain builds.
• Scale poison from pod explosions and arrow hits instead of the pod's chaos DoT.
• Poison-focused TR relies on chance to poison (quite easy to cap) and poison duration, so with a reasonably long poison duration, we can scale the poison damage to high potential.
• On contradictory to non-poison TR, we would like as little pod's duration/lifetime as possible so that we get more explosion hits on the moving target.
• No hybrid poison/non-poison Toxic Rain will work because their damaging mechanisms are at odd with each other.
• Quite satisfied (mapping and boss fight). Extremely high survivability.

Spoiler

I think poison TR is less damage than a perfectly-played scourge arrow, but it is mechanically easier, safer, and works better with HH. So it might better overall?

BTW, How are you getting your POB to display combined DPS for toxic rain? Mine was showing combined DPS, then I did something and now it refuses to calculate that and only shows damage per poison.

It might be personal preference. I find that TR inherently has longer require stationary duration than SA. So in the events of constant threats, such as in 100% delirious maps, Sirus A8, Uber Elder, etc., SA offers better mobility, given we have enough APS.

I may give trying to scale both poison and chaos dot damage with TR as I just made this chest which lets me get pretty nice gem levels while using the poison bow.

Just a little heads-up. I had tried to make a hybrid poison/non-poison(chaos DoT) TR build, but I decided to focus on poison only. The reason is that the scaling mechanic of poison and non-poison TR are at odds with each other. Here's the reasoning.

The non-poison, i.e. chaos DoT, TR relies on overlapping pods that extend vines to the target when planted. Each vine deals chaos DoT to the target individually, so damage from multiple vines stack. Therefore, the (chaos DoT) DPS window of a single pod ties directly to the lifetime of said pod, which starts when it is planted on the ground until it explodes. The longer the pods survive, the higher DoT they deal to the target.

The poison build, however, relies on rapid accumulation of stackable poisons from the arrow hits and pod explosions. Therefore, the sooner the pods explode, i.e. lifetime expires, the better because it allows us to have more explosion during a given poison duration. A Less Duration support linking to TR facilitate the poison stacking process.

As a result, for non-poison/chaos DoT TR, we want to make the pods survive as long as possible to maximize the DoT DPS. On the other hand, reducing the pods' lifetime as little as possible is the goal of poison TR. In this particular regard, the scalers for non-poison and poison TR are, in fact, at odds at each other.

Nice chest btw

Currently working on new golves, droping Dot for frenzy +1 and t1 attack speed. I might do few tricks in future as well.

Overall 34/40 challenges, just playing for fun now, some boss services, ect.
