toxic rain raider struggling with damage

hello all , ive followed a few different guides to make up this raider. Im struggling with damage according to my POB. Everyone else seems to have much higher numbers. What am i missing in my build ?

idk what guide you followed but no one uses faster attacks or gmp on toxic rain, and your bow and quiver are also pretty bad
"buff grenades"

What other skills would you recommend and what makes my bow and quiver bad ?
The bow is fine. The quiver is on the wrong base (that implicit does nothing). You want the 10% attack speed quiver. The bench craft also does nothing for you. I would just make a new quiver (or buy one).

For supports, you want Vicious Proj and Mirage Archer on your main and replace Withering Touch with Vicious Proj on the ballista.

I should note, Pathfinder is WAY better than Raider because of the wither ascendancy (that one point is more damage than all of raider's combined).

it's a maraketh bow and it doesn't have attack speed on it. it would be fine for caustic arrow but toxic rain needs something like a thicket bow with attack speed on it

supports should be vicious projectiles and mirage archer over gmp and faster attacks

the quiver should be broadhead arrow base, for the attack speed implicit, and that crafted mod does nothing because you don't deal any elemental damage

you dont have medium cluster jewels, and toxic rain usually uses 2 large clusters over 1, with 3-4 mediums

you dont have the affliction ascendancy, you need charms

you dont have proper eldritch implicits

the belt does basically nothing for your build

you dont have a that which was taken

toxic rain needs exactly 39% aoe for maximum overlaps assuming the default number of projectiles, you dont have 39%

there are a lot of things that need to be improved

His bow isn't perfect no, but I would hardly call it "pretty bad." T1 generic dot multi is weaker than T1 attack speed, but not by much. And some people prefer the 10 MS over the bit of extra damage thicket gives. As I said, the bow is fine. He could spend more to get it on thicket with T1 AS but the improvement is fairly marginal for how much he'd need to spend.

Now the quiver is indeed bad.

His bigger problem in the build is that he's Avatar of the Chase with no Grace. I would ditch Defiance Banner/Inc Duration and put in Grace plus an Enlighten into the hat. Annoint Sovereignty if you need to to make it fit.
Just get Quill Rain and then try to make it 6-link.
ive made some changes. What do you think now ?
4-Link your helmet so that all 3 auras benefit from the Enlighten.

Since you have the budget for something like HH, I would do better on the quiver (unless you must have that resistance given you gave up the belt slot for HH). Your prefixes are good. The 2 strongest mods on the quiver are Damage Over Time Multiplier and Chaos Damage Over Time Multiplier. In a normal league, such a quiver is a couple dozen divines. Not sure about this league given the inflation and too lazy to check.
