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

Can anyone help me with my build.
I am a complete noob and in any maps I end up dying right away even if I just follow a party.
I have no idea where to go at this point but feel like this character is worthless and am overwhelmed by the amount of information.

How did you reach level 93 with these items? This is very curious. If someone enlists to help you they'd need to write an essay or something.

I just used a serrated fossil and pristine fossil and landed this:



What's the simplest way to add on the "(11–15)% of Physical Damage from Hits taken as Chaos Damage (if you use Divine Flesh version)" mod?

Your main problem is your lack of elemental resistances on gear. If you look on your character sheet under 'defence' your lightning, cold and fire resist should hit 75% (the maximum)-- This is very important, because the game is balanced around this. Second, you need high life rolls on every piece of gear, as much as possible: aim for at least 60+ on rings, amulet, belts, and boots; and 100+ on chest.

You can try pathofexile.com/trade to search for items matching these rough conditions.

These are fundamentals for building any character. If you have any questions message me in game IGN 'Dottina'.

As far as I know that's only from hunter influence, so you can buy a hunter base or slap a hunter's exalt on it.

The net worth of my build is about 60ex if anyone needs a reference. I'm considering this character "done"... I'm soooo exhausted. Couldn't find despair on hit embalmers on the market so I individually traded for and jeweler/fusing/chromatic/vaal rolled 60 or more gloves.

((I suggest people run wither totems over ballistas)). It takes too long to get max stack with ballistas and using wither step to help speed up the process is kind of a pain. Ballistas themselves do no damage in comparison to a scourge arrow shot at this DPS.

I'm at about 6.8M shaper damage. Obviously I should scale that back to 4.5M and get more tanky, but I'm just trying to push damage for fun.

I also crafted everything I'm wearing except the bow. Definitely recommend crafting your own gear if you have 5 ex sitting around (You don't need that much, but I never like letting my currency reach 0). I spent 3 ex rolling each slot and ended up with my target item and 2-3 extras, selling the extra items to break even essentially making it free.

What did you pay 60 exalts for? All of my gear costed ~30 exalts in total when I bought it.

Sounds about right, now that I'm checking all the prices. The builds probably worth about 40 as of today. But don't forget about a good watchers eye, three level 5 awakening gems, level 21/17% (ew) scourge arrow, other jewels etc.

However, I got a lot of the expensive items near the start of the league.

watcher's eye with malevolence cost 16ex about 2.5 weeks ago and I spent another 4 ex on this jewel, which is probably only worth 1.5ex now:

Crimson Jewel
--------
+1% Chance to Block Attack Damage while wielding a Staff
5% increased maximum Life
7% increased Poison Duration
5% chance to Poison on Hit
18% increased Damage with Poison
--------
Corrupted


Approximate price of my items 1-2 weeks ago or when I got them or approximate value spent crafting.
helm = 2ex
quiver = 4ex
bow = 5ex
chest = 5ex (sexy value)
ring - Circle of Nostalgia with chaos damage implicit = 4ex
another circle of nostalgia - 1ex
gloves with vaal implicit = 4ex
belt = 2ex
20 prismatic catalysts for belt = 2ex
boots = 3ex
amulet + gold oil for annoint = 4ex (amulet is trash and worthless now mainly provides attributes for gear)
Watcher's Eye w/ malevolence = 15ex
random jewel = 4ex
level 5 awakening gem leveled from 3 = 2ex
level 5 awakening gem leveled from 2 = 2ex
level 3.9 awakening gem leveled from 1= 1ex

LOL, character is that bad eh.
The last 20 levels or so were just following runs with high level people.

Thank for the help and offer, I will be reaching out to you.
I've been having trouble determining what to buy because I was focusing on the items on the post and don't know what else to even search.
