Rain of arrows experiments. I think the skill could be underrated
https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/shbwm03k
Hi everyone, I'm hoping you can help me theory craft a way to make this underrated skill feel not so garbage. So far armour explosion paired with this skill has been an absolute blast and proven to be a really comfortable and potent clearing setup. where I need some help is in the bossing aspect of the build, I'm able to kill t15 +2lvl map bosses but not with any sort of speed or comfort tbh.
currently the build works off stun and armour break mechanics. Damage is lucky vs heavy stunned enemies which is very strong for map clear but kinda lack luster on bosses.
Ideas I've played with in my head:
- Ascendancy swap from Titan to Warbringer so armour break is inherent freeing up a gem slot I would use for the support "Inhibitor" while leaning more into +maximum frenzy/endurance in the passive tree
- Not taking resolute technique and scaling crit while using Snipe for bossing. my problem here is stacking crit is hard as hell with this setup because bows have low base crit and there is not a ton of crit chance on the warrior side of the tree (im probably just bad at making skill trees)
- Finding a way to scale poison for armour corrosion chains with armour explosion and https://poe2db.tw/us/Plaguefinger unique gloves but this leaves a problem with bossing again (maybe pathfinder could work for this idea?)
- Since im already scaling phys damage working bleed into this build seems like it could be useful but i cant seem to have it do any real damage because rain of arrows initial hit damage sucks.

I was actually thinking of trying this, but I ended up making a bleed bow shot titan that’s been doing pretty good
oh and as a edit after the fact. i definitely think armour/ES will be wayyyyyy better than armour/EV for survivability but i had the juicy chest piece from a drop so i ran with it lol
Why would you use inhibitor
Is it worth making this poison ?
The problem for RoA is that it used to be good for both clear and single target, now it sucks with both. If you stack Frenzy, Spiral Volley is even better for clear and you still have to use Snipe for bossing.
it's never been bad, but there's simply no reason to use it for anything
