[3.12] Hasunic's Toxic Rain / Caustic Arrow Trickster | Leaguestarter | Ailment Immunity | SSF

Just wanted to pipe in and say thanks to the build creator for what turned out to be one of my most powerful builds yet. I was sketchy on it for the first half of Harvest, but I made the decision to go all-in with it and it paid off nicely. At this point I have almost 38 challenges done, which I did myself outside of buying a couple of things (winged scarabs, a delirium orb, etc.) and the build shined through it all.

Uber Elder was deathless, A8 was deathless (probably luck), Shaper and red elder are easy, Uber Atziri was a joke, Aul was a joke, etc. The build just wrecks stuff. Most of the time I just cruz around with Arrow Nova and it melts the screen.

I ended up using both CA and TR but I put CA in my bow because I just like being able to shoot and stay on the move. It really is a beast once you invest in it.

My gear is by no means the greatest, especially this league, but I crafted it all myself and am happy with what I ended up with. The only thing I'm ticked off about is the stupid harvest attack crafts just keep missing on my bow and I can't get the speed mod. I guess I could pay for the speed seeds but they are so darn expensive.

Anyway, thanks again Hasunic. I probably wont pay this next league since I am a little burned out with bow/arrows, but I can highly recommend this build for others who are interested.

Mr Hasunic sir,
Do you see any changes we need to account for in the patch notes? I dont personally see anything that impacts the build. Looks like it will be just fine yeah?

The build is good to go and the fact that a lot of other builds got nerfed just makes a CA/TR trickster more competitive :) in fact, I could just slap a 3.12 on the guide because literally nothing got changed, lol.

Edit: I, forgot one thing. They removed the weird attack differentiation on +bow gems making it 100% odds to hit +1 gems when crafting the endgame bow again:)

probably some boost, at least iron grip can be used somehow coz it gives projectile damage instead of projectile attack damage now

maybe grippled gloves will be changed too

Nice. Ill keep it on the lookout, if something should be further changed.

I had to save the ed build, so that took all my focus today. lol.

What is the attack method here? Do you cast 1 caustic arrow and then focus on casting toxic rain?

Map clear and softbossing with CA and use TR to get a bit higher single target dps.

I hoped so last season when they fixed longshot, but it didn't happen, so we'll see now...

Also with the changes to curses will it be better to self cast them now instead of curse on hit ring / skitterbot ring I wonder...

It's always better to have as much automation as possible imo, so I'd probably still prefer skitterbot curse ring.

Will fossil crafting a +3 bow be any different in 3.12?
