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

Big build update:

- Replaced Vile Toxins with Mirage Archer
- Removed Iron Reflexes tree and variation
- Removed Lone Messenger tree and variation
- Replaced Nature's Adrenaline with Master Alchemist in all versions of tree
- Added Cluster Jewel tree
- Updated Divine Flesh tree to use Cluster Jewels
- Added back Vaal Grace
- Replaced Unpredictable Offensive with more flask charge stuff

So, let me explain these changes:

I decided to add back Mirage Archer because I still like it way too much, and with all new tools for additional survivability and recovery we now have from cluster jewels, we can afford to just run around and let mirage archer do all the work. For super endgame setups, I still think Vile Toxins is stronger (simply because with that much damage, Mirage Archer will not have chance to fire).

For removal of Lone Messenger and Iron Reflexes:
It is hard for me to maintain so many different setups of the build and I still believe that Phase Acro + Divine Flesh is the ultimate endgame version of this build, for both HC and SC because dodge coupled with huge amounts of EHP and mitigation from Divine Flesh just feels way tankier than Iron Reflexes ever could imo. Also there are bunch of setups from popular content creators for Iron Reflexes version so I dont feel the need to push this version anymore. For Lone Messenger, it was experimental from the start, and even though I believe it is viable (and fun) version of the build, again I simply do not have the time to maintain everything, mainly after I tried to also incorporate cluster jewels to regular and divine flesh setup.

For cluster jewels in general:
They are *strong*. Like incredibly strong for this build. And after you have the means to obtain them, also not optional imo, they simply add way too much power. Stun Immunity, 300% increased poison damage on non-poisoned enemies, hinder on SA (30% reduced movement speed), 20% increased flask charges gained, 40% increased life recovery from flass, 20% of life regenerated every 5 seconds, +3 maximum chaos resistance (for Divine Flesh). With all this together, the build feels smoother and stronger than ever before. The default version will still have SSF, league start and beginners in mind, so I am keeping it simple without cluster jewels.

For unpredictable offensive:
This node was always weak, it gave us just stun avoidance. But as I said above, we can now simply get stun immunity, so doesnt matter.

Main post is already updated with new Pastebin and everything else too

I've really enjoyed playing this build and have been running a pretty tanky version using Kaom's heart. It sacrifices a lot of damage since I can't use a wither totem, but I can do 20/20 simulacra and work my way through 100% delirium T16s. Haven't gotten to A8 Sirus yet.

This is a very expensive version of the darkscorn/divine flesh build. It uses a corrupted Fenumus with despair on hit, Aul's uprising for free malevolence, and DOT malevolence watcher's eye.

I dropped blood rage since it was becoming a liability, so I currently don't have a way to generate frenzy charges. I've spent around 5ex trying to craft the quiver but haven't gotten anything good yet. Without wither totem or blood rage I'm at 1.16mil dps. With blood rage 14.3 mil. And with both blood rage and a 5 link wither chest I'm at 17.8mil. I've been fine without, though sometimes bosses take a while to go down. I just really enjoy having the extra life with Kaom's.

My cluster jewels haven't been updated in weeks, so that's something I need to look into more deeply. Definitely checking out the ones you just posted.

I went the non-Divine flesh path of this build. I hit a perfect fossil crafted bow early on and decided to roll with it.
Currently i'm just shy of 7k hp and sitting around 8m dps.
I could use some sage advice though, i'm sitting at 130% poison hit w/o cortello's and would like to go deeper into cluster jewels but i'm not sure how I would adjust the build to make it so.
Anyone mind taking a look at and giving me a hand?
And I understand Divine flesh would be good but i'd have to change all my gear and i'm not going down that rabbit hole lol.

Level 88 and 4k life + 75/75/75/75 resists. Divine Flesh.

I can't seem to get enough life even taking the scion life wheel. I have a rare 6L chest with 100+ life, belt with life, jewels (in tree) that have # increased maximum life.

My damage isn't bad, 2.6M Shaper DPS.

I know I have physical mitigation things like dodge/evasion, but I get wrecked on rippy T14-16 maps. And some of the conquerors are tough for me. I try to use Wither when I can on bosses.

Your chest might be high on life, but rest of your gear isnt, its actually very very low on life. I would probably start with replacing quiver, maybe moving some resistances there, and then getting better jewellery etc, because for example ring with 39 life isnt acceptable for endgame, same with 30 life on belt. Try to get 70+ life everywhere (except uniques ofc).

You can check the tree I shared earlier if you want to invest more into cluster jewels. I simply dropped most of shadow area in favour of them.

Ok I will make those changes. Thank you!

so i just had 2ex drop from a temple run, could someone help me spend them not stupidly to replace my garbage gear? this build is so much fun already and i have trash

anyone interested in this for glorious vanity version?

Guys im wondering (stupid question) : Is it cheaper to try crafting the - 15 mana cost chest or just straight buy it around 5-7 exalt ?

Thank ya.

Hi. Have the currency to replace Tabula with a 6l body. Should I go for a rare, or is something like QOTF viable and easier? I haven't played for leagues and am unsure how to find or craft the right chest. Seems to me a decent unique would be easier maybe?

I would most likely go with either Warlord or Hunter 6l (Warlord for - mana cost, hunter for either recovery or extra curse) and craft on that.

Thiking about to replace my body armour Farruls fur for free cat ability do u have advice about that mb?

Well Mobiousx1, you certainly can afford the armor it now since I made a mistake giving you 199ex for 52 Simulacrum instead of 39ex, it was easy to see after I had done the mistake as I had left only 2ex in my currency tab.... spending a month playing this game to get to this level. I was tired and did this mistake but most players would not accept this kind of mistake and give a friendly notice or return the too much payment you got. Instead you left directly and blocked me on the game, I hope you would have a bit more pride and contact me. All up to you how you want to play the game, fair or not fair....

By your initial actions I do not expect to be contacted by you to correct the mistake, but who knows, maybe I have to edit this whole post to a totally different view being surprised by a true fellow gamer.
