I'm playing a variant of this build that I theory crafted before league started. I considered a ranged attack totem setup as well. I absolutely do not think the Ranged Totems are worth it at all. First of all, you have to use a skirmish, which is otherwise pointless to the build. You lose something like 8%-15% damage over a rare quiver( or maloney's nightfall), depending on the quality of your quiver. And that can be immediate damage (phys damage to attacks, crit, etc).

Secondly you can't have a wither totem, which can be a huge source of damage.

And finally, the way they inflate your DPS is by buffing your poison duration, but in 99% of cases, going from 20 second poison duration to 30 second poison duration is useless. It's better to have a wither totem that buffs your damage up front, not by adding useless duration onto your poisons. Most enemies will never be alive long enough for that type of duration. I realize it can be helpful on tough bosses, guardians, etc, but still not to the level it effects your POB dps numbers.

I'm not saying poison duration isn't good... it's very nice. But consider that it has diminishing returns. At some point, it's just better to focus on your up front damage rather than continuing to scale duration.

Hi all,

I have reached level 89 and I seem to be struggling a bit with DPS. Wold someone mind looking over my character and see if there is a piece(s) of gear that might be beneficial (other than the +# Tornado Shot arrows, which I am trying to get).

Many thanks
