sporeguard still good? I played with it once in delirium and wondering what chest to go for this season especially since GGG nuked Kintsugi spawn rate. Only thing that worries me is my lousy luck in manual 6-linking items. Unless I go back from TR totems to wither totems and not using double 6-link.

sporeguard is super under appreciated for toxic rain builds. i love it. its an explodey chest for chaos damage. pure and simple. are explodey chests good? yes? then sporeguard is good.
the reduced damage dealt by mobs on fungal ground means i don't need kintsugi and i just don't need the area from carcass (already have 230% inc aoe).
the only problem with it is colours. but i highly recommend running a TR ballista with withering touch setup over wither totems so the best way to make the colours work is to use vorici white socket craft.

last couple leagues sporeguards were very expensive but this league it isn't too bad so i picked it up. don't need it 6 linked either.
the other negative it has is it isn't a good option to try to double corrupt for +2/+2 on toxic rain since your main toxic rain setup almost certainly will not be located in the chest.

im probably not going to improve my TR char further than what it is, i have another char i wanna start gearing up. however i have a +1 dex amulet that i can easily make +2 with chaos skill gems, i just need the aug chaos craft (don't wanna go through trouble of buying it).

just so anyone knows, its very easy to make a +2 amulet for these builds. just get a +1 dex amulet with full suffixes and aug chaos, guaranteed +1 chaos skill gems because its the only chaos prefix for an amulet in existence.

i had this amulet drop for me so i didn't need to buy it, but if you want a +2 amulet the best thing to do is buy a +1 dex with full suffixes and slam +1 chaos skill gems. the base amulet with +1 dex will cost about an exalt. the craft is like 2 exalts if you're going to buy it, and the outcome is worth at least 5 exalts.
once i get +1 chaos gems on this amulet as well, i have a few crafts where i can reroll the suffixes and keep the prefixes. i'll do that until im happy. craft AoE+aoe dmg as final prefix then it'll be ready to Jorgin Research lvl 3 into a talisman since i don't need the stat implicits. hopefully hit 25-35% inc dmg, or the 5-8% aoe, or even 4-6% phys dmg reduction.

Would this work?

Get a hunter amulet ilvl 85+
Make sure it has +1 to dex gems
make sure all suffixes are filled up
Slam with chaos augment in harvest for +1 to chaos gems
Somehow slam life augment from harvest
= all prefixes are now full
Then craft chaos res from bench
Then slam with another chaos augment in harvest

= You would then be left with an amulet which has
Life - prefix
+1 to chaos gems - Prefix
+1 to dex gems - prefix
Crafted Chaos res - suffix (can be removed)
Chaos dot multi

Or is there another or better way?

P.S: I am terrible at crafting so I'm trying my best to learn and understand here, might chose this build to try and minmax this league if at all possible

If you only have dexterity as suffix you can keep it if you want (still 2 open suffixes), but you'll end up with dexterity on your final amulet and it's not the best stat

Otherwise you can harvest craft "reforges an item, keeping prefixes" and hope to get removable suffixes, or just scour / alt it (not sure which one is cheaper)

You can also try to annul it, but I don't have much experience using annuls

Ah yeah got it got it, Either way, even if I end up with a chaos res, its not bad.
I rolled an amulet to have +1 to dex but I also got flat dex so I guess I should try and re-craft it right, since I cant remove dexterity with harvest, its only tag is "attribute"

If you get shitty chaos res ... Either bear with it, or craft "prefixes cannot be changed", then Remove/add chaos in Harvest until you get chaos dot multi or a good chaos res
