[3.14 PoE Build] Toxic Rain Shadow (Trickster)

This is a really great utility helmet that allows us to auto-cast socketed spells since we are playing a bow character.
It shouldn’t be your first priority and you could easily use other cheaper helmets like Starkonja’s Head or rare evasion-based helmet with high life and resistances.

The best enchantment would be “Toxic Rain fires 1 additional arrow”.

Since we don’t lack in damage, we can afford to pick up a defensive chest piece. Not only does it have a lot of evasion, it also has life, resistance and most importantly of all – less damage taken if you haven’t been hit recently.

It really helps you mitigate damage when the evasion and dodge fails, so you don’t die to one-shots as easily as other builds.

This body armor also synergizes exceptionally well with Wind Dancer keystone that the build uses.

In this build we are ideally looking for an offensive pair of gloves.

The main mod we need is % to chaos damage over time multiplier.
Combine that with life, and perhaps, some attack speed and you got yourself excellent gloves.

This is more of a endgame option, so until then, just use regular rare gloves with high life and resistances.

Look for armor/evasion base for your boots so it’s easier to color all 4 sockets red.

Mods-wise, look for boots with Matatl’s Hybrid 30% movement speed + spell dodge mod, high life and resistances if possible.

Atziri’s Step would be an option as well if you can cap resistances elsewhere.

Look for rare coral rings with high life and resistances. Make sure one of your rings has adds #-# fire damage so the build can ignite. The ignite synergizes with Cinderswallow Urn for nice little damage increase.

Other nice things to have on your ring would be despair on hit, but that would be more expensive. You could then substitute the Despair gem in helmet for something defensive, like Temporal Chains or Enfeeble.

You could also craft non-channeling skills have -x to total mana cost.

Same as previously mentioned ring – high life and resistances.

Look for rare amulet with high life and resistances.

If you have currency to spare and want to push build further, get one with +1 to level of all chaos skill gems hunter mod.

Look for rare Stygian Vise with high life and resistances.

Belt is the gear piece on which you should craft Aspect of The Spider.

Main mod on the quiver is %to chaos damage over time multiplier – get it as high as possible as well as high life.

Other great mods would be attack speed, Hunter’s Movement speed mod and a resistance.

This build uses crafted thicket bow.

Here is a guide on how to craft the bow yourself, take a look at this video.

This build uses very large ring Thread of hope. Socket it in the slot between Totemic Zeal and Exceptional performance.

This build also uses 1 large and 2 medium cluster jewels.

On Large cluster jewels, look for following notables – Tempered Arrowheads and Fuel the fight. Good small passives for these jewels would be any damage over time mods.

On medium cluster jewels, look for following notables – Exposure Therapy & Wicked Pall. On Medium cluster jewels, look for +x% to chaos damage over time multiplier small passive nodes.

Mods to look for on regular jewels:

1.) Increased maximum life
2.) Increased attack speed with bows
3.) Increased damage over time / damage / chaos damage over time multiplier

Build uses following flasks:

1.) Cinderswallow Urn
2.) Quicksilver Flask With curse removal
3.) Instant recovery divine life flask with bleed removal
4.) Quartz Flask with freeze removal
5.) Dying Sun
