PoE Occultist, Bow builds

Just wanted to share my take on DO/CA farmer this league: Defense: Determination, Grace, Defiance banner, conditional crit immunity (60% from watcher's eye, another 40% if the enemy is cursed) , temporal chains (via skitterbots) , molten shell (cast on damage taken) , Divine flesh, Elusive from withering step , 4.2 k life at lvl 97 Offense: lvl 30 Vaal caustic arrow , \~495k DO farming dps(at 15 withered stacks), Despair (via skitterbots) , Malevolence , Profane Bloom. Misc: 5% of life on kill recovery , rampa

I ran this build as my league starter in 3.17 when ashes was easy to get, I loved the clear speed I got from this as well as how tanky it felt vs bosses so I farmed a lot of uber elders with it, not really invincible but with divine flesh and few phys damage reduction sources not much could one shot it at that time. I kinda wanna do the same build for my second or third build for this league with new Vaal Caustic arrow but not sure how meta has changed and what is new, skipped most of Sentinel and Kaladnra leagues. I could not find all the gear pieces that i used but missing ones were nothing

Current latest updated pob: (Thanks to bodelotte for the suggestions/improvements!) Above is what I have so far. I love storm rain, but it's not ideal for me for mapping. With the new Voltaxic Rift 100% lightning -> chaos conversion, occultist becomes interesting. This means profane bloom could help solve some of the mapping issues for me. I have never made a build however, most of the times I just follow someone elses guide and change it a bit. I thought maybe

hello , as of changes to the minions ,specifically > Minions no longer have hidden penalties to Bleeding, Ignite, and Poison damage. Summon Reaper no longer has a hidden bonus to Bleeding damage that counteracted this penalty. As a result, minions now deal approximately twice as much Poison damage, three and a half times as much Ignite damage, and seven times as much Bleeding damage. does these changes make posion bama viable? im newb in making builds, did a quick tree

I am planning for next league a meme build. Yes next league i like to be prepared :). The idea is to use on hit + slows + poison. I mostly have questions relating to slows on enemies. 1 Does movement speed slow also affect things such as casting speed? Just movement speed or also casts that include movement? 2 how do sources of slow stack? Lets say Maim + chill is it added together and subtracted or are each subtractated after eachother? As for the build i am not that far with it, but if you want to have a laugh or have any suggestions let me know. Core elements: Life/mana o

I have wanted to play caustic arrow for a while now but it doesn't seem to do enough damage. I threw together this POB and it doesn't look promising: There's little gear, but even with expensive stuff I don't see it doing more than maybe 3 million DPS, and since its tankiness and speed isn't great, it doesn't seem worthwhile to play. Has anyone found success with Caustic Arrow?
