FAQ

WE ARE USING CA, TS, OR LA TO CLEAR WITH
	-Manaforged to trigger Storm Rain for single target
	-No totem build

HOW ARE YOU GETTING 40 STORM RAIN?!!?!?
	-Dying Sun with 100% flask effect = 4 projectiles, should be 100% uptime with new sub-ascendancy
	-2 Proj on tree, potentially proj on bow/quiver if needed
	-4 Proj from GMP	
	-This is just an estimate, Storm Rain can be notoriously hard to get an accurate #

HOW TO LEVEL?
	-Caustic Arrow + Toxic Rain (totems?)
	-Switch to Artillery Ballista or Storm Rain Manaforged once you get poison tincture, can also try out LA if you want over CA
	-CA + Toxic Rain Manaforged seems to work, but ballista's are probably better early
	-Oath of the Maji without any gems in boots will be nice for leveling (30% MS)

WHERE DO WE GET POISON WITH ELEMENTAL AS BOW?
	-New Tincture + New Sub-Ascendancy has "Poisonberry Tincture" which makes all elemental damage poison similar to pnemautic dagger from heist, but for bows
	-You still need to get 100% poison on hit
	-New Caustic Arrow transfigured has 40% chance to poison baseline, the rest comes from gear+tree+herald of agony if necessary

POISON CHANCE
	-You can get 70% from the skilltree, so we need to get 30% from other sources. Herald of Agony gives us 20%
	-2 jewels with 5% chance to poison each
	-Gloves with 10% chance to poison
	-Elder quiver with (up to) 20% chance to poison
	-Bow with (up to) 30% chance to poison

FLASK SET-UP IS IMPORTANT
	-Micro-distillery needs 5th flask empty, but tincture there should work as it replaces flask but isn't a flask
	-Because of belt we can only have one adjacent for the other ascendancy node, so we 60% flask effect on the dying sun from belt+adjacent node

STORM RAIN FORMULA
	-Number of Projectiles Fired
	-Bow Attack Speed
	-Projectile Secondary Duration
	-Size of your target
	-So the formula will be as follows: #of projectiles * attack rate * 1.6 * r

BALLISTAS
	-You can use ballistas until you get the manaforged set-up + poison tincture if single target is a problem, the tree is completely fine for that
	-Possibly grab "Watchtowers" early on if you'd like to and respec it after
