    I actually bloody did it!! [SSFHC]

    I finally completed Act10 in SSF HC, my first ever HC char to complete Act10!

    I was inspired by watching the current gauntlet race that is going on and being awestruck how these players can survive with such crazy mods, I usually play SC and end up dying probably hundreds of times a character and never got to Act10 without dying, so I figured I would give it a go!

    Not a great achievement for some people out there but I am stoked! Now to sort out my resists and do my first map! Any tips on mods to avoid as a Bleed Glad?

    Toxic Rain - New Calculator Spreadsheet (Includes Mirage Archer calculation, TR mines calculation and AoE to Arrows breakpoint calculation)

    Posted: 25 Aug 2020 09:09 PM PDT

    Hi everyone! Recently I've been discussing with my mates about the calculation of Toxic Rain DPS because it is not really accurate, and the other calculation we found on other sources, including PoB calculation isn't really correct. On top of that some old threads on reddit regarding about TR have some misinformation (possibly due to patch updates and they are over year old), so I think it would be nice to share this information on here.

    I would like to clarify a few things before I jump into the thread. First of all, these are the researches and testing we have done, we've capture the footage in controlled environments, view it on slow motion and record all the details available. Though I would say it may not be 100% guaranteed to be correct (especially the calculation parts), but the estimates are pretty close.

    Facts of Toxic Rain

    • Skill effect duration makes your pod last longer, allowing more pods to stack on top of each other. This is one of the best stat you can get to scale your dmg greatly.
    • TR hits 2 times, 1st time is when the arrow lands (the arrows doesn't stack, which means even you have 100 arrows, it still counts as 1 hit), second time is when the pods explode. Overlapped explosion hits will stack (which means poison stacks could stack up very fast with overlapping explosion)
    • The main DoT component of TR comes from the vines, though it is visually limited to 3 pods but the damage from the vines are not limited.
    • Projectile Attack Damage / Flat added chaos damage (Adds # to # chaos damage) does not increases the DoT component damage of TR. It increases the on hit damage of TR.
    • The vines reach radius and the explosion hit AoE are the same (Confirmed by GGG, both of them have a default radius of 18, you can find it on PoE official discord)

    Relations between AoE and Addtional Arrow

    1. The pods will be able to overlap on each other which increases our single target damage. So this means that we would need to scale and balance around our AoE with our amount of arrows to achieve a high single target damage.
    2. Increased / reduce AoE does not affect the placement of the Pods, means that it does not make the pods to be landed more "spreaded" between each other. This means that using Concentrated Effect would be a no go as it just reduces the AoE of our TR pods. But the amount of arrows will affect the placement of the pods, the more arrows you have the more "spreaded" they are, though it a lot of arrows doesn't seem to reduce your single target damage even you have 100 arrows with 25 radius, but it doesn't increases your damage either, only increases the coverage of TR, increasing clear speed.
    3. From our testings, it is shown that roughly every 5 radius = additional overlap. We viewed this from this particular video by slowing the footage down and record the pods placement behavior. (Note that we do not have any connection with this video creator / author, if you are the video creator of these videos and would like to take it down, feel free to private message me).

    Arrows AoE (Radius)
    5 25
    6 30
    7 35
    8 40
    9 45
    10 50
    11 55
    12 60

    If you have some new information, feel free to share it below the comments.

    About the calculator

    The purpose I made this calculator is to exactly calculate the DPS of our Toxic Rain damage with Mirage Archer and the DPS with mines. This allows us to plan our gear, prioritizing which stat that will give the most DPS compared to the others. Here's the spreadsheet doc

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15lQsQNDHt809soqWf47_yhieR9tH2tRUH7JG3pRW_EE/edit?usp=sharing

    In order to edit it, go to File > Make a copy. Insert your own numbers on the purple cells then you are good to go.

    Tl;dr about the calculation =

    DoT per Pod * Total pods fired over the course of duration * Chances of overlapped pods.

    Total Pods Fired over the course of duration = Attack per second \ Skill effect duration * Projectile count*

    Chances of overlapped pods = TR pods Radius / Arrows to AoE Radius.

    =================================================

    If you are still curious about the calculation part you can break it down by yourself because it would take me a long time to explain it here and no one would really read it all here.

    Honestly I am not really confident about the TR mines part, so I would like to have some feedback on that particular part. But anyway, if you have found a bug on the calculator, suggestions on improving it or feedback about it, feel free to leave comments below (Yes this is my first post on reddit as I don't really use post or comment anything, just viewing the memes usually).

    Edit 1 : Updated the calculator, changed some typos and added calculation for the first X seconds ramp up. Calculation might be a bit off but from what I've tested it should be fine. If there are any errors feel free to let me now.

    Title, Ive been playing in SSFSTD since the day it came out and this is my first time killing A8 Sirus!

    One or two months ago I posted here asking for help with the fight and been farming for weeks the gear I was missing, had a woke ele focus and woke minion dmg drops and lvl21'd most gems which made it a bit easier, the build is a basic Redemption Sentries build with 'some' mitigation

    Character name is 'ElderNull' for those interested:
