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

Alright, I'm retracting my statement. I've done some small upgrades to build and it's starting to fare a little better. I've also looked up your character for this league and it's adamant just how much there's yet to do still.


Not sure how should I proceed with the upgrades quite frankly. The biggest obstacle for me right now seems to be keeping resistances in check. I'm barely at 0% chaos res right now but if I were to just get double nostalgias, the elemental res would plummet which'd get me searching for them elsewhere.

Jewels you mentioned are a fair concern. The PoB tree was lacking in them and I paid little attention to it myself. Poison damage, attack speed with bows, life and resistances at once are costly and scarce however. So is 'perfect' thread of hope and that is even without some decent corruption implicit on it (corrupted blood for Sirus? Should I ignore it for now?)

What do you think of resistances on cluster jewel passives? I haven't delved in clusters just yet. Granted I should probably get 2 more levels while it's still relatively easy for some points.

Also, on another note: my estimated chance to evade is around 45. 59 with grace aura passive from vaal grace gem. Should I switch to Malevolence and then the movespeed flask for 3000 Evasion one in order not to suffer too much from it?

although the dps is rly good my sustain is terrible...i die instanly most of the times..especially during boos fights..
dunno why

Hi guys,

I was wondering if someone who has this build on a sweet spot could answer me just couple of questions?

Yes.

Reaching 95 is ok, for 98 you may need to be stricter in what you run whilst aiming to grab a level.

4. For High end sweet spot, given todays market how many exalted am I looking at more or less?
With emphasis on high end, 30 ex should get you to a very good state w.r.t. the questions above, but this build can continue to scale if you are into further min-maxing (in which case the budget becomes very high). 10-20 ex will get you to and OK state.



Thank you very much for your reply man. That really helps. I think i'm gonna give it a try, sounds very fun and promising!


Cheers mate

My favorite things to help with sustain (in order of how much I like them):

1. Regenerate 15% of maximum life every 5 seconds (hunter body mod)
2. Soul Raker annoint (caps leech)
3. Blood of the Karui with some flaks investment

So you can maybe try that and see if it helps. There are also cluster nodes like Brewed for Potency what are perfect for this build

Thank you very much for your answers!!
1. ill try to farm some currency cuase armor with this hunter mod its a bit pricey..
2. Wouldnt removing dirty techhiques decrease dps by a lot ?
3. if i have a jewel that has corrupted blood immunity i can remove staunching flask anti bleed for karui?


also im using the lone messenger build..on pob i cant seem to find where to put blinked arrow
maybe i should try iron reflexes one for more tankier version of the build?

Can someone please help me with this build. i seem to lack a little bit of dps. I hear everyone talking about 2m+ dps while my scourge arrow only says around 7k max. I have pretty good items and resistances almost max.

My gear: (Level 90 pathfinder)

-Ursine pelt with additional pod enchant, res and tier 1 life
-Darkscorn
-Cherrubims malefecence 6L
-Stygian vise (health res)
-Atziri steps
-Femenus weave
-Circle of nostalgia with increased chaos damage with HoA and less mana reservation
-Amethyst ring with res and life
-Quiver with res and life ( need to fix this )

Gems:
6L HoA: HoA, Maim, Damage on full life, Minion damage, Vile toxins, Vicious projectiles

6L Scourge arrow: SA, awakened chaos damage, awakened unbound ailments, vile toxins, deadly ailments, vicious projectiles

4L wither: Wither, spell totem, multiple totem, faster casting

Imortal call-CWDT

Dash-second wind

Blood rage, plague bearer, increased area of supp, withering step.(note: i have no idea what this does, i just placed it on my helm because i saw everyone doing it.

Flasks:
2 life flasks with remove bleed and remove ignite
1 quicksilver flask with remove poison
Atziri's promise
witchfire brew



My build is a mix of things i saw other people doing. I followed this guide until i could. after seeming to lack dps i tried to mix some things up. There it went wrong and now im stuck on a build thats a mix of 3 builds and i dont really know what to do. Im up to a point where i collected 20 watchstones but sirus killed my ass and had a lot of trouble doing bosses. Map clearing is pretty allright even 16 maps. I just need to know what im doing wrong.

I also saw somewhere that most dps comes from thorn arrows and not 5 stages. i have no clue what this means and i hope someone can explain this to me.

Your characters are not public, so please make them public so people can check at your tree/items etc (and import your char to pob) to help.


Also, possible future build update:

So I was experimenting with cluster jewels a bit and this is what I ended up with:

https://pastebin.com/gRqCUmbH

This gives us stun immunity, hinder, clear speed boost, *a lot* of sustain, flask recovery etc etc. Basically iy makes the build do more damage, have better clear, have a lot better sustain without relying on extra stuff at cost of around 20% inc life. I think it is worth it. I will maybe update the build to use Cluster Jewels more later.

I did similar thing with Lone Messenger version where thanks to a bit smarter cluster jewel usage it ramps HoAG damage to 1M.

I'm slowly finishing this league build, it went a lot better than last league (which is surprise cause market lacks SA Pathfinder items atm, helmets,chests,quivers especially). Balancing around 10m DPS atm. Still need to get better quiver (with frenzy) which i just cant craft, used around 15ex so far and didn't get single Life/Chaos multi/frenzy roll. Want to also craft better helmet (with chaos resistance, although have one with res, its just not Lion Pelt) than i can use full DPS Megalomaniac cluster jewel.Also can make so small min-maxing here and there but those are not that important i think. Atm Sirus A8 is easy, Simulacrum 20/20 is easy, fully juiced 100% delirium maps can be painful but manageable.


yo! i'm loving the build but i've already spent so much but i don't come even close to killing bosses in the speed of the vids, what am i doing wrong? is plague bearer the main cause of the dps?
Hey all,

I would like to ask for some advice :) Right now I'm sitting at 6.5 mil DPS, but I think my life is a bit too low, I have 4.8k life. I managed to kill Sirius A8 yesterday, but it was really hard. What should I change? Both in terms of gear and passive tree? Cluster jewels gave me a lot of DPS, but I'm not sure if they are worth the price in HP.

Thanks for any advice :)
