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

Problem:
Utility Flasks are sustainable with enough character damage and clear speed, but there aren't easy ways to sustain Utility Flasks for less-powerful characters.

Solution:
Add new modifiers and improve existing modifiers on Flasks that affect their duration or charge gain. Add some new Passive Skills to help sustain Flasks. Extend the base duration of Utility Flasks to reduce how often they need to be used.

Specifics:
Spoiler
New modifier that helps extend flask uptime:

66% increased Charge Recovery | 25% reduced Effect


Extending Utility Flask Duration:

Quicksilver, Diamond, Granite, Jade, Quartz and Silver Flasks now last 6 seconds (previously 4).
Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz, Aquamarine, Sulphur, Basalt, Stibnite and Corundum Flasks now last 8 seconds (previously 5).
Gold and Iron Flasks now last 5 seconds (previously 3).
Bismuth Flask now lasts 8.5 seconds (previously 5.5).
Amethyst Flask now lasts 6.5 seconds (previously 4.5).


Unique Flasks are being reviewed as a result of these changes:

Dying Sun now has 40-60% less Duration (previously 40-60% reduced duration).
Coruscating Elixir now has 25% increased Duration (previously 100%).
Bottled Faith now has 15-30% reduced Duration (previously 20-40% increased).


Adding and improving Flask investment in the Dexterity area of the Passive Skill Tree.

Problem:
Belts are the item slot intended to enhance Flasks, but only have a limited list of modifiers that actually affect Flasks in their modifier pool.

Solution:
Add more tiers to Flask modifiers on Belts, and move the Flask Effect modifier out of the Influence modifier pool into the base modifier pool for Belts.

Specifics:
Spoiler
Added more tiers to Belt modifiers that affect Flasks, resulting in buffs to most modifiers, most notably Life and Mana recovery modifiers. Here are some examples of values of some high tier modifiers:

40% increased Flask Life Recovery rate
40% increased Flask Mana Recovery rate
40% increased Flask Charges gained
33% increased Flask Effect Duration
Flasks applied to you have 12% increased Effect

This question is asked way too often. So here is list of things you should make sure you have and do:

1. Darkscorn
2. +1 Arrow quiver (think about this modifier as 30% more damage, it beats most other options and its not close)
3. Scourge Arrow helmet enchant
4. Source of Despair on hit
5. Ailment Duration focus mod on Helmet
6. Source of Wither (Withering Touch, Withering Step, Wither totems)
7. Source of +1 curse and Temporal Chains on hit

So for first thing I think we can replace quartz with jade, I managed to get to 20k evasion with ward bases and alchemist jade flask. For this I have to drop 1 cluster. What is fine because thanks to malevolence now being able to be part of core build we dont lose damage.
