Toxic rain builds are increadibly strong early and super SSF-friendly.
You can do them as either a Pathfinder or a Trickster. I Perfer trickster, especially for HC due to its good defensive-layers.

You can sit comfortably on 4-5K HP and 3K ES with rare gear found from maps even before you reach T16. Try to get a Quill rain and you'll be set since its argueably your BIS weapon according to some due to its attack-speed.
Some people like to get a good +X gem bow but the 100% Attack speed from Quill rain kind of wins that trade. (Mirror tier Bow with T1 attack speed and +3 Skills is probably better, but we are talking SSF here, you most likely wont come close to a bow that beats Quill rain)

There are plenty of Toxic rain builds to be found. But scale your damage through Chaos damage over time multiplier and any other Chaos or damage over time stats.
If you're playing Trickster get a pure High evasion chest and a Hybris circlet for head with high flat ES. Those are the important part due to your acendancy.


E/ They are also comfortable to level. You start going caustic arrow (Dont forget pierce) and as soon as you can get toxic rain skill gem you just switch. There is no need to respecc at all.
Get despair curse early and wither with totem support for boss fights. I use Discipline, Grace and flesh and stone aura. Can also put in clarity level 1 but until you get a enlightened level 3+ Id probably leave out grace. Or discipline if you dont have good ES or ascended yet.

idk how you need a "new one" when its your first ssf but ok.
either way really just depends how much time you want to invest, its ssf, so better pick a build you enjoy.
