According to POB skitterbots adds as much damage as that 6th pod/arrow from 30 aoe. Assuming i get enlighten lvl 4 and a - mana cost ring, will I be able to still cast toxic rains without feeling clunky (assuming enduring mana flask)?

ill have like 33 mana and the spell will costs like 28-29

That's really pushing it with Quill Rain. Even with the Enduring mana flask constantly going, Quill Rain attacks so freaking fast, you'll constantly here the "I'm out of mana" thing, and attacks will be consistently skipped/missed. It's not as bad with a slower rare bow, but still happens then, too. In addition, you won't have enough to re-summon lightning golem if you use one, and I think enduring cry and self-cast despair are more than 33 mana, too.

Also, I'm still skeptical about the shock level produced by skitterbots on bosses. I can't imagine it's reaching the level 5 threshold to shock even Conquerors, much less any boss bigger than that.

I'd rather add Aspect of the Spider (which is 10% less mana reservation), but that's my preference.


ETA: Or better yet, drump skitterbots and flesh & stone and add supreme ego, which is even more DPS. You can supplement F&S with Silent Steps or even just a Stibnite flask.

Ok sounds good. I'll try to drop those two for supreme ego. Also i'm currently running two medium jewels with JUST wicked pall. Do you think wicked pal with brush with death is the best for overall damage or would wicked pal and student of decay or some other mod?
