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

So, so far from 3.8 reveals, looks like this build is most likely going to get some big buffs. There is also chance that Circle of Nostalgia will be available (even though no synthetizer, so idk how).

Also, it looks like it will be decent for Blight encounters, probably, thanks to PF poison prolif. I am definitely starting as poison build in 3.8, super excited for the changes :)

Yeah 3.8 is going to look pretty good with this build. I too will be starting this build next league.

Yo man, nice build.

Tho got few questions,

Could you try and make in pob version with highest possible dmg and still having good survivality? ( i have around 150 exalts to spend ) and would like to see this build to be pushed to maximum. Am not so experienced and creating build and you looks like experienced guy with this poison mechanics.

In this poison mechanics with scourege arrow we prefer PHYS > Chaos dmg on items?

Do you think that in 3.8 it will be good build? ( poison scourge pathfinder ) If yes why so? Btw what about assasin running poison scourge arrow?

Thanks in advance man!!!!!

Well, to get a lot more damage from this build, I would probably start with dropping the whole Divine Flesh package, what will still keep you pretty survivable, but it will free a lot of affixes on gear and also jewel slot.

Then I would try to get flat phys on rings and amulet, and maybe try to get +1 curse corruption on some decent ammy and run either temporal chains or assasins mark. After that, I would try to incorporate ailment focus mod on helmet, and probably shock focus mod on ring.

For bow, Vicious Projectiles bow with attack speed and either chaos or phys mod together with some poison mod and 60% chance to deal 100% more damage mod would be best.

For body, I would go for +1.5% crit for Attacks. Or Dendobrate, but that one might be too much glass cannon.

Here is something that I put together very quickly:

For 3.8 viability:

Yes, I definitely think this build will be viable in 3.8, and most likely also buffed, so overall, I am pretty excited. I will be probably replacing one of the movement skills wiht the new wither one (if it will be available for bows).

For Pathfinder vs Assasin:

Well, even now Assasin has more potential damage with poison than Pathfinder. The biggest reason why I used pathfinder is

- Chaos conversion (almost all our phys gets converted to chaos, so we dont need to worry about phys reflect)
- Clear speed. Assasin does not have poison prolif like pathfinder, and simply because of that Assasin clear speed is not even comparable with Pathfinder's. Also, Pathfinder is a lot faster than Assasin just because of the flask effect and movement/attack speed from ascendancy
- Quality of life. Pathfinder can keep up our flasks in boss fights, what is very very important because of how much damage Corallito. Also, just in general, the ability to simply have flasks always up is so good QoL just by itself

Thanks for the reply,

Crafting that bow is rly painfull :D overall 300 tries without decent results.
I wanted this one

And i will try to craft it

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/clips3/scourge_arrow_posion_bow/?st=jzlu02f7&sh=3e760bbd But the guy stop playing and reply he will not sell it..

So till i dont craft this bow sm goin to keep spending currencies like hell..

Hope then i can finish the build and that dps will be decent

Once again thanks for the reply! also thanks for the POB ( you can update perfect pob i bet there are players that will appreciate that <3 )


You are the boss! see ya in 3.8

Awesome guide! Can't wait to start with this in 3.8

Hopefully it doesn't take too long for Darkscorn and Glorious Vanity to be reasonably affordable... shame they're not going to be adding the Legion Zana mod until 3.9 :(

I assume that Glorious Vanity and Darkscorn will not be available first week at all, so I am probably just going to try to delve craft some half-decent bow (get like porc bow, and then start crafting on it), or alternatively maybe just Lioneyes Glare could be decent before Darkscorn.

Thanks for your guide. Able to do uber elders deathless. Using Taste of Hate + winterweave helps me alot on Uelder fights.
Seeing from the teasers, this build looks more promising on 3.8 update.

This could be good if you're still going Divine Flesh route?

Hi there, OP and other scourge arrow users, I require some help as it is my first time playing.

I got a 6 linked darkscorn and not sure how to proceed from here. I also got a helm enchant for the spore but it requires 138 strength which im not sure how to churn it out.

I have a lioneye's fall can you please tell me if this build can utilize it?

so the best armor is not kintsugi or qotf anymore? its a armor with maim and -mana cost?

your passive on your actual char is also fairly different from the PoB. Do i get point blank now or what?

please help.
