[3.25] Scourge Arrow Poison Prolif Pathfinder - Fast, tanky, fun to play

Just for anyone looking to craft the chest, i was messing around with fossils and it was a PAIN IN THE ASS. I did like 30 fossil crafts and hit the mana mod twice, but with every other mod being garbage.

While farming some more currency i tried harvest crafting my chest, and turns out the seeds that reforge for "attack" modifier, basically seem to give the -mana mod 100% of the time (i did about 15 rolls to craft my chest and i hit it 15/15 times).

So yeah, use harvesting because it is so much easier and cheaper than crafting it using fossils, since the attack seeds are abundant!

This build is amazing. I started at level 68 doing RED maps. I am blowing through them so quickly. It is absolutely insane how good this build is. I made my own tweaks, like using Asenath's with Soulrend, and Enlightened with Mana Res Gems.

Divine flesh + spider gloves + Impresence.

Pretty fun but I feel like my boss burn DPS is pretty low.

That is what I am using and I am doing T16 vaaled without even seeing the mods. This is insane. I dont die. Did 2 A7 Sirus as well, deathless. Didnt die to DIE beam.

Next upgrade for damage is going to be watchers eye +XX% to Damage over Time Multiplier while affected by Malevolence

Yeah I bought a malevolence bleed immune watchers eye instead.

Hey all. So far I'm loving this build. Very fun to play. I'm currently working through tier 11 maps. Unsure what my best options are to upgrade at this point. This is my current build:

I know I need to upgrade my resists on my jewelry, and I have a circle of nostalgia for when I can cap resists and wear one. Just unsure what would be the best next step(s) for me to boost my dps.

Thanks

Also, how do people post the images of their gear on the forums?

Click on your name near the portrait at the top left of the page, and then click on an item, it'll appear in the post you're typing currently and others will see it.

As for upgrades, there's a lot you could do: get a better amulet and anoint it (dirty techniques if you want pure DPS); a better chest (really anything will do just fine, a 6l rare chest of any colours usually goes for around 20c, you could have some extra mana,life and resists on that); replace your belt with a stygian vise (this isn't super necessary, but works great in conjunction with the next point); replace one of your life flasks for a cinderswallow urn - for it to activate though, you'll need to get +fire damage to attacks from somewhere, a good place to get that is from an abyss jewel in your stygian vise belt; replace the other life flask with a bubbling divine life flask of staunching, this will instantly give you life on use and will remove bleed, which can get pretty nasty in some maps; lastly, maybe start looking into crafting the +chaos damage;% chance for poisons to deal 100% more damage; chaos dmg over time bow with fossils OR save for a Darkscorn if you feel like it (it's around 2ex atm).

Anyone able to help me figure out why Boss DPS is just so damn terrible? Clearing like a champ, but single target I must be failing to do something because it is abysmal. Anyone have any tips for common pitfalls? Or strategies they use to increase their single target?

First put the scourge arrow on your chest to get the bonus - 15 mana to attacks.

Then:
Are you activating the infused channeling buff? My game changed a lot after I got quality on it because I had to channel for less time to get the 30% more damage buff from it.

Are you using the totems or withering step into the bosses to get more wither stacks on them?

Your plague bearer does't have quality and it isn't linked with increased area of effect. If you have both the range of it is HUGE and helps a lot for boss dps as well.

Are you shooting the arrows in a way that more pods appear on the bosses?

The way I am doing is that I put the totem, withering step into the boss to get some wither stack, move back and shoot once at 4-5 pods. My buff from infused comes up and all the pods shoot at the boss.

Remember to have some distance between where you shoot and a wall. If you shoot in a closer wall you are going to get 1-2 pods at most and they are what deals the most damage.

Anyone have any thoughts or links to recent post discussion on going divine flesh or full cluster? Is the DPS that gimped? I have about a 30ex budget to drop into the build.

Thanks
