Been playing this since the league start with varying success. In the early maps, it cleared fast and bosses went down at a decent speed. However, once I hit red maps it was like a brick wall. I can't even kill architects fast enough in Incursion and Elderslayers/Bosses take at the very least a minute. PoB(https://pastebin.com/n3RkRBnS) says I should have around 930k poison DPS with 10 withered stacks, which I feel should be enough to kill map bosses fairly quickly.

I tried upgrading some of my gear. New ring, new bow, new gloves but while it did increase my PoB dps immensely, it was barely noticeable in the actual game.

I'll post my gear below:

Also using Coralito and Witchfire flasks.

I know there are a few upgrades like head enchant, Fenumus and a chaos damage craft on Bow but I've refrained from doing so because it doesn't feel like I would go from "Absolutely horrid damage" to "amazing damage" from that alone. Hopefully someone can point out what I'm doing wrong, otherwise I will likely swap for another build. The survivability, even without fortify, is decent but with shit damage it just ain't fun.

Your choices of gem setups and offensive utilities look really weird compared to the build guide, and you complained about "shit damage it just ain't fun".

First, you linked Scourge Arrow to Poison Support and Vicious Projectile instead of Infused Channelling and Unbound Ailment. If you are using Coralito, you probably cap your poison chance (max = 100%). There's no point using Poison support in place of either the aforementioned two. In addition, Vicious Projectiles reduces your APS; why would you want that in a SA setup. Slower channelling = more time idling = more chance to get hit + lower DPS.

Second, there is no reason to have 6-link SA, 4-link Blast Rain, and 4-link Barrage together. Blast Rain/Mia generates withered stacks while you shoot SA. I would drop the 4-link Barrage setup for other DPS utilities such as Blood Rage. In addition, since you haven't got Fenumus and Touch of Cruelty (cluster jewel), a Skitterbot support would help increase your DPS a bit. That's contingent on you being able to find a way to reduce mana reservation. I doubt you would need Dread Banner if you crave DPS. Lower level Precision would help.

You can't expect to go against the Elderslayers/high-end Bosses, etc. without proper preparation. At least setup yourself with a proper 6-link SA (easily done by corrupted chest) and a 5-link Blast Rain (also very easy to get this league with Harvest seeds granting free 5-link).

Third, I'm not sure if you have 10 withered stacks as you thought. It is because you don't have Increased Duration in your Blast Rain setup while your attack speed is a bit slower than it should be. The withered stack you generate would probably expire before they all stack up to 10. Get at least 5-link setup if you want to go up against the high-end bosses.

Fourth, I wonder if you also have issue with spore pod control which many new SA players encountered. There is a brief guide for Scourge Arrow mechanics for single-target DPS in the OP that you may want to take a look if you haven't.

Hope that with all the information given above, you would be able to find a way to improve your DPS.

If you are still not able to increase your actual DPS to your satisfaction, it's totally OK to drop the build. It's important that you feel good while playing with it.

Cheers

The reason I chose the gems is because PoB told me they gave me more of a DPS increase than the ones mentioned in the guide, which I trusted due to other differences in gear. I could try following the guide to 100% and disregard PoB and see if that changes anything.

I do have barrage left from earlier, but considering I'd probably swap that out for the CWDT gem link I don't think it would help with the dps, but I did forget that I still had that in so thank you for reminding me! Would the cluster jewels be a major DPS increase? I've casually tried crafting them but this league it just sucks trying to craft Large jewels.

I will try a bit more and see how it feels. Actually swapping TO the poison gem made bosses go down much, much quicker but for now I will try to get a body armour with different colouration and see if it makes a difference.

Thank you!

In your new 3.11 leveling tree you don't take acrobatics/phase acro at all even after discarding iron reflexes although you are mentioning then in the image, you use them on your character on harvest and well there is no reason for us to not take 40%/30% dodge for only 4 points with no downsides since we have no armor/ES, that's mistake i guess?

Wow, the base itself must be costly. Or used conqueror's exalted orb/ awakener orb?

Help me in my quiver too.i don't know how to proceed.

Item level is 80.
Which level seeds do I need "remove a life mod, add a life mod" craft?
