[3.15 PoE Build] Toxic Rain Miner Shadow (Trickster)

Intro & build description

If you have played Toxic Rain and want to try a new spin on the skill, consider Toxic Rain miner. Shadow’s starting point is really efficient in terms of mines, with many great nodes nearby. Trickster ascendancy provides a great balance between damage and survivability, making this a well-rounded boss killer build.

Build Pros

  • Melts bosses
  • Reflect is not a problem
  • Can clear delirious maps on a 5-link
  • Cheap to start, yet scales amazingly well with currency invested

Build Cons

  • Mine builds are more intensive on button pushes than average build

Helmet

Rare Hubris Circlet

Look for rare Hubris Circlet with high life, some extra energy shield and resistances. On your endgame helmet you would also want -% to nearby enemy chaos resistance.


Body Armour

Kintsugi

Kintsugi is a great defensive endgame option for the build. Carcass Jack is also a good option.

Until you can get it, use Tabula Rasa.


Gloves

Rare Gloves with Hunter or Elder influence

On your endgame gloves look for high life, resistances and chaos damage over time multiplier.


Boots

Atziri's Step

Atziri’s Step is a solid choice for our boots slot.

Left Ring

Profane Proxy

In your left ring slot use Profane Proxy socketed with Despair.


Right Ring

Rare Ring

Look for rare ring with high life and some resistances. Craft -mana cost for non-channeling skills mod on your ring.

Belt

Rare Stygian Vise

Look for rare Stygian Vise with high life and resistances.


Quiver

Rare Penetrating Arrow Quiver with Hunter influence

Our ideal endgame quiver has high life and both, chaos damage over time multiplier and damage over time multiplier mods. If you cannot afford both of those mods, just pick Hunter’s chaos damage over time multiplier since it can roll higher.


2Hand Weapon

Rare Crafted Bow

Our mid-range budget bow costs around 5 ex to craft, which should be manageable. How to craft it:

1.) Hit +1 to level of socketed gems mod
2.) Craft can have multiple crafted mods
3.) Craft chaos damage over time multiplier
4.) Craft +2 to levels of socketed support gems


Jewel

Jewel Setup

Build uses 1 Unique Jewel – Intuitive leap. Use it in jewel socket near Perfect Agony and allocate reduced mana reservation + Charisma and Method to The Madness nodes.

– Wicked Pall

On medium clusters look for following notables:

– Exposure Therapy
– Wicked Pall

Fill the rest of the jewel sockets with regular rare jewels with following mods:

1.) Increased maximum life

3.) chaos damage over time multiplier
4.) Attributes / Resistances if you are lacking
