Got up early this morning before work to play at least two acts. Really enjoying the slower gameplay of untwinked ssfhc runs. Directly prior to trying this character, I played in a Delirium softcore private league. While it was great playing with friends, the go-fast gameplay just seemed to blur everything together. I'm really enjoying basic item drops that I would never even pick-up if I was playing in a SC league with friends.
Speaking of items, I had some really great early drops for my Toxic Rain character. Hyrri's Bite really helps out with INT/STR and attack speed. The Delirium Reward that drops uniques provides access to these early uniques that usually don't drop as often. I also had a +1 gems rare Short Bow that also has +% attack speed, and since Toxic Rain focuses more on the gem damage and barely any on base bow damage, I think I'll be using this for a while.
The character is also super tanky for early on. 1100 HP and 85 all res for end of Act 2 is way above the curve. Damage is very good thanks to Herald of Agony. Decided to use Pierce on it for now, to help with clear speed. I'm able to full clear zones with Delirium up- so I'm just hoping to find some four links in Act 3 to boost the damage even more. For the next few levels I'll focus a bit less on life and pick up the poison/damage nodes near the ranger start.
Here's my Path of Building for start of A3: https://pastebin.com/YnvFd5rF - Skill tree here - and my account profile is here. Note that new accounts don't let you play in SSF league, so it's just based on honor system.
