Toxic Rain Trickster - 3.15 League Start Abridged Guide | Path of Exile: Expedition

Included are multiple passive tree setups for levels 90 and 100, with and without clusters, gem setups and all rare and unique gear choices. NOTES: - Rare gear is a guideline, not a rule. It shows the minimum recommended affixes at average rolls but feel free to mix and match the resists - Getting chaos resist is a good idea but can dramatically increase the cost of the item - Quality is only on gems that need it - Gem level is important; some gems do not require leveling - Try and replace any supports with Awakened variants when you can - If you can get a level 4 Enlighten you can use Summon Skitterbots - A level 4 Empower will out-DPS Mirage Archer but not by much - Supreme Ego with ONLY Malevolence is a superior DPS option if you don't mind losing some defenses ========== CRAFTING THE ENDGAME BOW ======================================= You have two options: Cheap-ish and Expensive. First option: Cheap-ish 1. Buy a 6L iLevel 50 Short Bow 2. Use Orbs of Alteration until you get +1 to Level of Socketed Gems 3. If you ONLY get the +1 mod you can use an Orb of Augmentation for an additional mod 4. Use a Regal Orb and hope for a SUFFIX and NOT a prefix. If you get a prefix you can use an Orb of Annulment or start over. 5. If you land on a SUFFIX you will then craft the following: * Can have up to 3 Crafted Modifiers * +36-40% to Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier * +2 to Level of Socketed Support Gems Second option: Expensive 1. Buy a 6L iLevel 82 Thicket Bow 2. Use Orbs of Alteration until you get +1 to Level of Socketed Gems 3. Use an Orb of Augmentation and pray you get +% to Damage over Time Multiplier 4. If Step 2 and Step 3 are successful use a Craicic Chimeral Beast to imprint the bow as-is BEFORE continuing. 5. Use a Regal Orb and pray for +% increased Attack Speed. Any suffix will do, but it MUST be a SUFFIX. If you do not get attack speed you can use the imprint you made in Step 4 to bring it back to a blue, IMPRINT IT AGAIN, and then use another Regal Orb. !! THIS IS EXPENSIVE. CONSIDER KEEPING ANY DECENT SUFFIX !! 6. Once you have a SUFFIX you will then craft the following: * Can have up to 3 Crafted Modifiers * +36-40% to Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier * +2 to Level of Socketed Support Gems ========== LEVELING NOTES ================================================== Plugging Toxic Rain into a Ballista Attack Totem and setting that up on bosses while you spam Caustic Arrow or Toxic Rain yourself makes for an extremely quick and fun leveling routine. ============================================================================ Have fun! ~ Mr. Tastix
