can i play this POB to from ZIZ to for pure caustic ? https://pastebin.com/Pd4huukp

When you build for Toxic Rain you usually look for skill effect duration and attack speed. You don't need that at all when building for caustic arrow. Extra duration for CA is QoL, not a DPS increase like it is for TR.

You will also have a much easier time with mana as you don't need to spam as much.

If you want to use CA I really just recommend using the PoB DankawSL put together it's quite good. If you really want to you can have a separate PoB open with Ziz's config if you want to use it for inspiration.

However if you're asking if you can use it 1:1 I think you should pick either or, a lot of customization people do end up hurting builds and making them less balanced than if they just followed 1 guide to the letter.

Once you start understanding what you're doing and know all the trade offs you're making then you can start deviating for individual playstyle choices.

or go ahead and hybridize and tweak, just remember Regret orbs are not cheap right now XD

In general the gear in DankawSL's PoB is a bit more conservative which could explain the lower damage numbers. But in general the DPS is a bit higher for toxic rain, but that DPS also requires standing still for long periods where CA doesn't require standing still ever.

I pushed this build to 4.5m single target DPS in Ritual, 3.8m in Ultimatum and I'm aiming for anything north of 2m for this league.

which link for PoB is the correct one?

Thank you

Do you guys know if it is possible to only get Desert Spring as T7 map? I don't really know if it is possible to set it up that way.
What are your tactics to farm the Imperial Legacy cards?

greetings

Hey, sorry if this has been asked before, but how is this build doing in SSF? Seems a lot of gear is craftable in SSF (except the chest). And which ascendancy you recommend for SSF?

Edit: just noticed it's HC, I am playing SC. Is there a big difference in the tree?

Thinking of switching to this build from Toxic Rain, not liking the playstyle and the constant standing still which kills you.

Perfectly suitable for SSF. Things that the build rely on are not required for the build to function, they just make it stronger. And things like Kintsugi are farmable fairly reliably even in SSF. The author has played it a lot in SSFHC previously.

As for SC or HC it's just a matter of how many offensive nodes you'll take on the tree early. You can skimp a bit on max life if you want in softcore. I play in softcore and in general the build feels a lot better to play with all the defenses built in, if you start to skimp on things like evasion and get below the evasion cap it starts to feel a lot worse.

I was running around in T5 maps with 2.9k life full clearing deliriums etc. and I still had less than 5 deaths in maps by level 85. I prefer getting most of the damage nodes early in softcore for clear speed, it can be a bit rough to get damage initially and getting the damage nodes really help and the high evasion + dodge does amazing things by itself. It's just not really viable to do in HC because of the RNG factor.
