I'm just running the default setup right now, and I'm starting to struggle a bit on the more juiced yellow maps and going for the red maps.
Not feeling the tankiness, maybe that's my pots or the low life rolls, also the damage feels like it's falling.


Anything glaring that I should change, that wouldn't be too expensive?
2 passive jewels are %max life/stats/poison dmg too, didn't find out how to link them.

Definitely run good life flask, its one of the strongest defensive tools, and it doubles on pathfinder. Also quartz flask is one of the most important pieces in this build, or well, at least phasing, otherwise you will get constantly stuck on monsters what can easily just kill you.

Also, your bow, body and quiver are more than decent, but your helmet, ring, amulet, belt have extremely low life rolls (boots have 3 life only for example). Try to upgrade your items to have 70+ life on each of them, ideally i try to go for 80+ on non-jewellery items.

Hi, I'm playing SSF and just got Maloney's Mechanism Ornate Quiver, do you think it could fit in the build somehow?

Sure, it is nice utility, you can run Frenzy + Curse on Hit + Despair inside. I personally dont think that Maloney is that worth it, but its effective.

Thanks for the help and the build.

What goes out for the quartz and life flask?
And what prefix/suffix do I roll for those?

Yo, I am using this setup:




Forbidden Taste (with full life recovered, not just 80% or something) is pretty nice, as the chaos damage doesn't do anyhting to our build.
(Corrupted Blood Immunity is on a jewel, as you cant roll "Removes Bleeing" on this one)

Quicksilver, Carlito, Cinderswallow doesn't need to be explained I guess.
Then im also playing with another Quartz Flask + Removes Freeze.
I think this is pretty standard.


I also saw others (but not many) using

- Atziris Promise
- Witchfire Brew (for Despair)
- Sin's Rebirth



//Edit

Only thing is, that Forbidden Tate and my other Quartz Flask interrupt each others dodge mechanic as they are both Quartz flasks. At the moment its okay, but when I reach 97 i think I change the setup

I like to run Quicksilver with "of Heat" and a Jade flask with "of Warding". Gives nearly constant curse immunity, I wouldn't want to play without. :)

what armor can this build use to get the most dps

Thats the great thing about POE. I wanted to play a Scourge Arrow with big focus on clear, so I managed to get 280% movement speed at this point which feels amazing. Together with the DPS, AoE, Single Target, insane defenses.... maybe the best (balanced) build I have ever played?

You cant DPS if you are dead :) But if you are looking for best damage boost in body slot, then its Dendrobate, but imo not worth it, too much survivability loss.

Other than DOT multiplier, I see people using these:


- Unaffected by Bleeding while affected by Malevolence (i think a rare jewel with corrupted blood immunity is a better solution for this)

- Damaging Ailments you inflict deal Damage #% faster while affected by Malevolence (can get this mod on boots as well i believe)

- Gain a Flask Charge when you deal a Critical Strike while affected by Precision (apparently there's an internal cooldown and not worth it so much)

- #% increased Attack Speed while affected by Precision


Dont know, If i wanted to spend an ex, I would rather look for something else and not a Watcher's Eye... for example a timeless jewel with Divine Flesh. I personally would not bother with Darkscorn at all if I did not want to use the Timeless Jewel mechanic. You are not using its strong defensive mechanic and have less damage than with a rare Chaos/Poison bow...
