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

Leaning towards your build as my starter this time around; the guide is very well written and I've actually never done a Ranger start before.

Any info on how this handles high-tier Blighted Maps? My assumption is Poison Prolif allows you to absolutely wreck the lines of mobs while mostly staying posted on the Fungal Growth, but having never played it before I figured I'd ask.

Cheers!

Gonna play the build once again, regardless ^^
ty for taking the time to udpate @thedeathbeam :)

i'm sticking to Chainbreaker core and frenzy/lvl support redeemer chest tho , wanna see how powerful it can get ( i didn't use any warlord chest last league never had a mana problem with enduring flask)

did some POB testing a perfect rolled Darkscorn would get same damage as this one w/o the 60/100 line (sadly not knowing the local mod value can't do more testing)



also for all the people afraid about single target dmg don't forget to grab "faster poison" anywhere u can , helps a lot ;) (tree, watcher eye, hunter boots, ring implicits, etc)


edit: btw Misery everlasting i don't think was nerfed and has more duration than wicked pal and seems to me does way more damage

also TDB what's your take on surging vitality? will we still be able to use it w/o interfering with petrified blood etc


Oh that is very interesting, so this means it is possible to upgrade to better bow than Darkscorn (even though its rly hard, still good to know that there is at least possiblity).

Yea Wicked Pall was nerfed but still the extra duration is useful for us for uptime of our skills (like immortal call, mirage archer, blink arrow etc, but most importantly for immortal call).

And for Surging Vitality, cant regen over 50% life so its only half as useful, so not very good anymore.

Hey guys,

I'm considering this build for league start or at least 2nd build since my Poison BV got nerfed too hard.

As far as I read is that Darkscorn is mandatory for this build. Can you give me an estimated price range of this bow after 2 weeks? Is this possible and do you have any experience regarding the price?

Thanks!

5 chaos 2 weeks in, but very expensive at start.

(btw poe-antiquary is amazing site, would highly recommend it for use cases like this)

This build is one of the best non-afk Blight farmers, so yea it does really well in high-tier Blighted Maps, poison prolif is very strong for them (as as you said, you just stand in center and spam full charge SA).

New build update:

New pastebin

So, thanks to Remi (author of Toxic Rain ranger guide) we discovered that Veteran's Awareness is on average really nice defensive tool as the 20% more damage taken is less scary than it sounds. Example numbers:

"

Orig:
44,468 71,000 71,000 71,000 44,844

Veterans:
59,332 118,334 118,334 118,334 41,844

Veterans + 20% more damage taken:
49,444 98,612 98,612 98,612 37,370

Veterans + 15% more damage taken (3s + 3s, 75% uptime):
51,593 102,899 102,899 102,899 38,995

20% more damage taken:
37,057 59,167 59,167 59,167 37,370


So I added new Transcendence tree because Veteran's Awareness fixes a lot of issues that Transcendence has. Example EHP with Transcendence:



Transcendence tree is also using Molten Shell instead of Immortal Call.

I also dropped Enduring Cry from the gem setup because its less effective with Petrified Blood and it just takes space (I am trying to keep the guide and gem setup as simple as possible).

Is this a similar concept like on this build? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybd3B9pDAk0

Based on the video title and pastebin looks like yea. Haven't watched the video tho. Veteran's Awareness is very underrated imo, it works really well.

In literal sense of the word as the build lost like 1k life in my updates for this league :d But im hoping that the new defensive layers will more than make up for it

new defenses are looking good!
I was wondering if it worth trying new Bloodthirst support and maybe Coward's Legacy to get to the actual LL state.

I'm not good with poe numbers but it looks strong (like a 100 flat+more+increase)

this is what we get ... (found on reddit from poedb)
still a prefix, tagged |chaos|poison|attack| https://poedb.tw/us/mod.php?cn=Bow

when i tested with my thicket in POB (starting with 4,6M shaper) loosing the 60/100 mod roughly took away 1.7Mil shaper
and i had added a 50% generic dot multi to see what we would get , well only 500K shaper

so even with T2-T1 the darkscorn is doing just a bit more damage on perfect roll

Hmm that mod is a lot worse than I expected, I was expecting aaround 80-100% dot multi, 59% is super low. Sad.

We dont benefit for pain attunement as its spells only so idk.

Bloodthirst is certainly interesting but you need to stack HP with it, what is the opposite I did with the new defensive layers.
