Goratha's Notes

FAQ WE ARE USING CA, TS, OR LA TO CLEAR WITH -Manaforged to trigger Storm Rain for single target -No totem build HOW ARE YOU GETTING 40 STORM RAIN?!!?!? -Dying Sun with 100% flask effect = 4 projectiles, should be 100% uptime with new sub-ascendancy -2 Proj on tree, potentially proj on bow/quiver if needed -4 Proj from GMP -This is just an estimate, Storm Rain can be notoriously hard to get an accurate # HOW TO LEVEL? -Caustic Arrow + Toxic Rain (totems?) -Switch to Artillery Ballista or Storm Rain Manaforged once you get poison tincture, can also try out LA if you want over CA WHERE DO WE GET POISON WITH ELEMENTAL AS BOW? -New Tincture + New Sub-Ascendancy has "Poisonberry Tincture" which makes all elemental damage poison similar to pnemautic dagger from heist, but for bows -You still need to get 100% poison on hit -New Caustic Arrow transfigured has 40% chance to poison baseline, the rest comes from gear+tree+herald of agony if necessary POISON CHANCE -You can get 70% from the skilltree, so we need to get 30% from other sources. Herald of Agony gives us 20% -2 jewels with 5% chance to poison each -Gloves with 10% chance to poison -Elder quiver with (up to) 20% chance to poison -Bow with (up to) 30% chance to poison FLASK SET-UP IS IMPORTANT -Micro-distillery needs 5th flask empty, but tincture there should work as it replaces flask but isn't a flask -Because of belt we can only have one adjacent for the other ascendancy node, so we 60% flask effect on the dying sun from belt+adjacent node STORM RAIN FORMULA -Number of Projectiles Fired -Bow Attack Speed -Projectile Secondary Duration -Size of your target -So the formula will be as follows: #of projectiles * attack rate * 1.6 * r BALLISTAS -You can use ballistas until you get the manaforged set-up + poison tincture if single target is a problem, the tree is completely fine for that -Possibly grab "Watchtowers" early on if you'd like to and respec it after
