Pros & Cons

Build Mechanics

Toxic Rain: Toxic Rain shoots out a base 5 arrows (pods). Pods can stack, so area of effect is somewhat important. Attack speed is massively important in terms of DPS and enjoyment.

Recovery: With flasks up, we sit at a comfortable 45k Evasion to cap our QOTF, and 50/75 dodge/spell dodge. This means we rarely get hit, and when we do, we proc Ghost Shroud.

Skill Tree

Pantheon: is up to you.

Bandit: Kill All (recommended) OR spare Oak

Passive Tree & PoB

30 points -> 50 points -> 70 points -> 90 points -> Full

Gems Setup

Main Link

Toxic Rain - Mirage Archer - Void Manipulation - Vicious Projectiles - Swift Afflictions/Efficacy - Empower Level 4Damage on Full Life (If you aren't at the stage where you're always full life, drop this)

Auras

Flesh and Stone - Malevolence - Discipline - Enlighten

Grab Charisma until you can afford to run a level four Enlighten in your aura setup.

Wither Totem

Spell Totem - Multiple Totems - Faster Casting - Wither

We already have quite a bit of duration, so faster casting helps us build quicker.

IC + Blink Arrow

CWDT - Steelskin, Dash - Blink Arrow - Faster Attacks - Culling Strike

I've been trying out CWDT Steelskin, and I think I like it so far. Play around with it and see how it feels. We also put Frenzy and Blink Arrow here linked with Faster Attacks and Cull. 

Despair

Frenzy - Curse On Hit - Despair

We use Despair COH Frenzy in this quiver to automate frenzies and boss depsair. You can also run the same links in your boots along with Dash if you can't afford a Maloney's.

Gear Setup

Weapons - Thicket Bow

Start out with a 5 link 1.5 base with +2 to socketed bow gems and a local attack speed craft. There's a couple incremental bows you can go to, but I went from the 5L +2 to this VP bow.

Quiver

As stated at the top of the guide: YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE A MALONEY'S. It facilitates your ability to be lazy, it does not 'make' the build. I used a rare quiver like this one until I purchased Maloney's. It made gearing easier with the extra resists. You can also use a Drillneck or a Soul Strike if you want to.

Helmet - The Vertex

You can use Eber's Unification if you want more damage, but I think Vertex is the best helmet here.

For lab enchants, +1 pod or +40% damage are both good. +1 pod was the only one available at the time, so I went with that.

Chest - Queen of the Forest

Just your average QOTF. Not sure what else you'd use here, as this was one of the key items I wanted to use in this build. If you don't care about QOTF/MS, using a well rolled EV/ES rare is better. You can also use a Perfect Form and drop Acro/Phase Acro for a more defensively built character.

Gloves - Sorcerer Gloves

I use damage and ES gloves, but just find a rare that has life and fills out your resists until you start investing more currency into the build.

Boots - Atziri's Step

Atiziri's Step is how we get to 75 Spell Dodge. They also come with 30 movement speed, solid life, and good evasion. Perfect boots for the build.

Rings

YOU WILL WANT AN ELREON MOD You WILL want an elreon mod on both of your rings of -6 or -7. We get very close to full reserve, and we attack very quickly.

You can also find a ring with the temple mod "Xopec's" on it, which is considered a mana mod although it gives - total cost of skills. You can double up on the -mana mod if you craft on it.

Amulet  - Agate Amulet

If you're using Steelskin, you're going to need to find a lot of strength here. If you cannot find adequate strength to run a high (20 or 21) Steelskin, you should drop it completely and instead run a low level CWDT-IC set up instead.
