Poisonburst Arrow/
Toxic Growth is looking to be one of the strongest builds in 0.4, both in terms of damage and the overall speed of the build. Pathfinder is receiving multiple buffs in this patch.
At this point in the progression you should be looking to swap into a crit setup, not much is required outside of having a crit bow, crit quiver is also nice but not needed for the swap.
Make sure to fill out your resist, you want 75% fire/cold/lightning resist. Chaos resist is good, but not mandatory to have 75%, I usually aim for 30-50%.
Do note you will most likely need 1 high attribute roll on your gear (either int or dex) to fill out your attribute requirements - or you sacrifice 2 passive points for 
Proficiency
Bow: You want the highest DPS weapon you can afford with critical strike chance - Obliterator Bow is the go to base because it has extremely high base damage, but any bow base works - Any elemental damage also works because we're using Plaguefinger
Voltaxic Rift Is an okay starter bow if it's cheap, the downside is the bow has 0 base crit so it'll quickly get replace by a good rare crit bow.
Quiver: Want high crit/crit damage with high flat damage, other good stats are increased damage with bows, atk speed and +2 level to bow skills.
Rings: You just want high flat damage rings, just like with the bow, the element doesn't matter because of Plaguefinger
Gloves: Plaguefinger is by far the best in slot option, makes gearing extremely easy as it allows you to stack elemental damage on rings/bow/quiver and allows you to use strong unique jewels.
These gloves are very strong but not mandatory, you can play this build with pure phys on weapon/rings, it'll just be lower dps. If you don't have these gloves than the ele dmg on your gear does nothing.
Belt: 
Headhunter is always the best in slot for mapping, but never needed. Just use a regular rare belt with str/resist/life if you can't afford HH
Amulet: The only mandatory stat here is 30 spirit. Besides that crit/+level to proj is always good for damage. Global defense/increased energy shield are good for defense.
Helmet: You want the highest energy shield helmet you can afford, this is very important for defense because you take 
Subterfuge Mask
Body Armour: 
Hyrri's Ire Is easily the best in slot but not required, if you can't afford it just buy the highest evasion body armour you can afford, preferable with deflection rating.
Boots: Just want high movement speed and either life or %ES/Evasion, preferable with deflect rating.
Jewels: Get one jewel with %mana on kill, this will make your mana feel extremely good for while mapping. For unique jewels, 
Against the Darkness with any extra mod is fine (cold/fire/light/chaos)
Heart of the Well with 2 gain extra mods is also ideal.
For regular rare jewels, you just want crit/crit dmg/magnitude of poison
4 Mod Rare Radius jewels are also extremely strong but will be expensive
Anoint:
For damage: 
Lasting Trauma is what I recommend.
For defense: 
Patient Barrier Decent option for more ES
Cheap option: 
Serrated Edges
Support Gem Requirements:
Str 40
Dex 85
Int 45
Poisonburst Arrow
Gas Arrow
Toxic Growth
Vine Arrow
Ghost Dance
Herald of Plague
Wind Dancer
Herald of Blood
Despair
Stormcaller Arrow
The links are in prio, so takeout the the last gem if you don't have a 6 link in that skill.
Quality prio: Toxic Growth > Poisonburst Arrow > Vine Arrow > Gas Arrow
Link prio: Toxic Growth > Poisonburst Arrow > Vine Arrow > Gas Arrow
On Toxic Growth if you don't have Arakaali's Lust you can instead use Heft or Escalating Poison
For extra Pinnacle boss damage you can takeout Herald of Blood for bossing since it doesn't do anything and replace it with 
Withering Presence with Prolonged Duration II
Spiral Volley is another option for clear over Poisonburst Arrow when you have enough dmg to make it comfortable. You'll need to take 
Resonance on the skill tree and replace fork/deadly poison for Corrosion and Armour Break III.Spiral Volley is worse for actual clear speed, but it comes with a lazy 1 button playstyle if you don't like aiming.
Fork/pierce are really nice on poisonburst arrow, depending on how your damage feels it can be your 5th or 6th link.
For your 9th gem slot you can either use Stormcaller Arrow or Despair, this is strictly for bosses.
(If you do Stormcaller than you'll want a weapon swap setup with all shock magnitude nodes)
Once you have a really good quiver you should take 
Wrapped Quiver
Only important thing here is placing your Against the Darkness next to 
Struck Through
Ultimate Mana Flask with "Increased mana recovered" - You can also spec into Considered Casting for 3 points, which gives you a massive mana cost reduction. You can also get one piece of gear with physical mana leech, assuming you have a decent phys bow. You can also buy one 
Sapphire with %mana on kill.Subterfuge Mask and Spectral Ward, combined with Ghost Dance this usually doubles your pool while providing solid recovery. Before that point just focus on high life gear with a solid 2k+ evasion chest.Poisonburst Arrow and Toxic Growth, eventually when you gear enough it'll become a one button mapping build with Poisonburst Arrow. For bosses you'll use 3 skills, pre-fire Vine Arrow/Gas Arrow and spam Toxic Growth. If you have low damage, you might need to use 2 Gas Arrow to quickly pop your Toxic Growth pods. (they detonate based on your poison damage dealt).Become a Creator
