Do you think that this build is comparable to Tornado Shot Occultist by Fyregrass?

Looking at both POB's it looks like SA has more dmg and defenses but apparently TS can do 60% deli on 5 link with starter gear, which i couldn't do easily on your build. Any idea which might be better as starter? Thanks

That build is legit dogshit so yea. Its basically trash build getting carried in maps by occultist curses, so basically anything is better. If you want to do occu just use good skill combined with occu curses.

He has 0 damage, 0 defenses and also 0 sustain, he cant boss with it ever, and for mapping its literally just being carried by despair, temp chains and enfeeble, but there are so many occu builds that do that but 100 times better (cold dot, spiders, hell even BV).

I just hope people arent actually getting baited and considering doing that TS occu.

Damn thats a scathing review lol.
I was very tempted by it, he made it look/sound pretty good.

And while I loved scourge arrow last league (possibly my favorite ever build); the fact it is likely weaker now in 3.16 'the patch of buffs' made me sad :(

That build is a perfect example of clickbait, just don't fall for it. His only defense is the curses. Tornado shot atm is only useful as a support skill, especially as a starter. People will have a better time with almost every other skill. I mean if you go full glass cannon then you need at least compensate with damage, right? He's not even doing that so I feel that build doesn't make any sense.

Anyways, I never played Scourge Arrow, I even never played Pathfinder so I wanted to go for it, but then it looked like Poisonous Concoction seemed a better starter. If that fails I'll transition to Scourge Arrow. Yay I have a plan this league :D

i was thinking that maybe using cruelty on the self cast SA would be an overall dps increase because in theory the cruelty buff applies to also ballistas.

Would make sense? Would also prob make it easier to find the correct colors for chest

Cruelty only applies to linked skill i think.

So after playing with scourge arrow for a bit i have some questions and observations.

I've noticed that Scourge arrow is horrendous to use in enclosed maps with Two arrows, the pods branch out diagonally instead of going in a straight line through a hallways or doorway. So i'm thinking of having 2 quivers, one for open maps and one for enclosed maps.

Second, when and how do you use the ballistas, why focussed instead of them firing independantly? After all, if you're not firing they're not firing.

Some tips would be greatly appreciated.

Its mostly fine if you just clear with the primary arrow in those areas.

Focused ballista because it gives you shitton of attack speed and more importantly placement speed what means you dont need multi totem or anything. Also you can aim with them and decide where you want to cluster your pods what means its massive for bosses and way better than if they aimed by themselves.
