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

I'm struggling a bit with my PoB to figure out my true DPS. My friend and I both had varying numbers and neither of ours 100% lined up with my actual character's stats.

I've configured it like the guide says but I don't feel like 820k DPS is accurate as my buddy has about 450k with his build and it feels like he does more damage than me. His says my DPS is somewhere in the 300k's which makes sense to me. Trying to figure out which one of ours is correct or if none of them are and why the discrepancy.

Loving the build so far deathbeam, thanks.

What can I upgrade guys or change? have like 9 exalts to spend

Craft a bow for sure. Despair on hit embalmer are nice dps too. A bow would be huge though, the one he recommends in the guide is great. Flat chaos + 60% chance to deal double poison damage, attack speed, +% chaos damage multiplier if lucky..

This is mine.

Thank you very much for reply so now Im about to learn about crafting :D
also a queestion im having many exalts but dont really want to spend it on those gloves with despair can I craft them too or just go lab and try to get enchant
also another last question this despair on hit is the same as mine despair so when I get despair on git I can throw the despair away?

Hi, what is the recommended flask setup? Coralito's and quicksilver seem to be a given, but then there is quartz, life, forbidden taste, witchfire brew, blood of the karui, cinderswallow, jade. Not sure which combination to go with here.

2) Related to the first point, do you deal with curses in any way? I see bleed/freeze removal crafted in most of the setups but nothing for curses.

What implicit do we want on the circle of nostalgia?

Absolutely loving this build and am kicking ass so far.

Do need a bit of advice/sanity check please if that's ok, as my brain is frazzled.

Crafted this bow earlier, but I think it lacks Phys? I need Phys for the 60% conversion that SA does yea? So it won't be better than my current Lioneye Glare? It has 2 of the mods listed in the crafting section but I don't know if it's enough?



Thanks!

So when does the tankiness come into play? Just got to the Harvest in act 4 with all the leveling uniques mentioned. I'm getting 1 shot just from the boss looking at me.

This seems to be more of a clear speed than a boss killer, or is that what it's mainly meant for?

From the nagivating through PoB section: `Bear in mind that low level trees are optimized for my playstyle and do not really prioritze taking a lot of life early`. You can see stats at around level 80-90, the build has a lot of ehp, dodge/eva blind etc later.

The conversion on SA is not very importannt. When crafting the bow with fossils, you want t hit at least flat chaos and delve poison mod (60% chance to deal 100% more)

Doesnt really matter but anything that is at least remotely useful for the build is nice to have (like accuracy, inc damage, inc chaos damage etc).

THat depends on rest of your gear. If you do not have source of despair, then witchfire brew. If you are on budget, atziri promise. If you have corrupted blood immunity, blood of the karui. If you have corrupted blood immunity and you are running divine flesh, forbidden taste instead of blood of the karui. Ofc if you are running forbidden taste, you dont need to run quarz flask (as forbidden taste is quartz) so then you can run jade flask instead.

EDIT:

And for dealing with curses, well, I dont. You can get cannot be frozen on boots and then swap heat to warding mod on flask if you want.

Is Darkscorn better than crafted bow? Looking to upgrade my bow, and can't decide which option is better. Now I'm thinking more about Darkscorn, cause of survivability, but what's with dps?
