Poisonburst Arrow &
Toxic Growth make for insane damage and a lot of fun! Plus explode entire screens with
Herald of Blood!
We stack as much DEXTERITY as we can to gain extra Accuracy, Attack Speed & Extra Life
We use an
Amazon because we get an insane amount of flat physical damage by having large rolls of Accuracy Stats on our Bow. On top of the flat physical damage, we also gain crit chance by stacking extra accuracy on other items and the tree.
We do not need to scale poison magnitude or poison stacks. We scale Critical Strikes and allow the big hits to do the damage. We don't worry about scaling poison really at all.
Once you reach late game and have a good bow with Physical Damage, Accuracy, and Critical Chance you can switch to the BLEED-POP version and get massive screen clear with
Herald of Blood

**HOW THE BUILD WORKS**
We use
Poisonburst Arrow for mapping and killing mobs, while occasionally working in
Vine Arrow if enemies are charging towards us too quickly.
During the fights with Bosses and tough Rares/Mobs, we want to throw out one
Toxic Growth & 2
Poisonburst Arrow to detonate our Toxic Growth for Huge damage. Rinse & Repeat.
During a boss fight, you can cast
Toxic Domain to apply more growth pustules directly to the target with
Poisonburst Arrow &
Toxic Growth if the projectile directly impacts the target.
If using
Mirage Archer, roll at the start of the boss phase to try and get shock on the boss for bigger damage.
If using
Rhoa Mount, you will be applying shock yourself with
Stormcaller Arrow. Apply as needed
We scale Shock not Wither for our damage multiplier
Herald of Blood is how gain awesome screen clean in the late game. Just make sure to have Bleed III Socketed into
Poisonburst Arrow
* Switch to the BLEED-POP Version once you have a good PDPS bow with Critical Chance and Accuracy.
**Quality of Life**
Blind is extremely helpful to add to the build if you are having survivability issues and synergizes well with Evasion/Deflect
You need a bit of Increased Poison magnitude (Early) in your build to help with detonating
Toxic Growth. Once you have good physical damaghe output, you can lose it.
