Hi Experts of Scourge Arrow,
I last played SA in Harvest league and absolutely loved it (Using this guide, Killed Sirus for the first time). I saw on Reddit that someone called the skill garbage due to the way the pods got nerfed a few leagues ago.

Because of a bunch of issues with multiple arrows and pods getting capped in walls scourge arrow is garbage

Can any of you speak to that? Has this been fixed, or is it a non-issue?

It was most likely me even calling it garbage lul :d For single target SA is now pretty bad as they removed SA behaviour where pods cluster closer together based on cursor distance from your char. But thats fine, the build now uses Siege Ballistas for single target instead and SA for clearing (and Infused Channeling and some extra boss damage).

Awesome, thank's for the reply

is amulet without perfect implicits still be good or a decent rare with +1 to chaos gems\chaos dot multi would be more preferable?

I want to play this with ballista totems. Is there any reason why it wouldn't work?

First off, no you can definitely use just ballista totems, in fact one of the faster to 100 players last league played ballista totem SA. However, due to some changes with the pods, the ballista single target damage is relatively low, but good for clearing early. I, personally, got a covenant with a white socket so I can swap between ballista totems for clearing and siege ballista for bossing.

+levels are not very good for SA. And even without perfect implicits eternal struggle is really good, 15% cull and also solves attribute issues, pretty hard to beat (+ you can fix your other issues on implicits you might have, e.g grabbing some remaining suppression etc). Only other amulet I would consider next league is Stranglegasp because that one is pretty insane with the buff to curses.

Hello, how DPS of this build now compare to the last season?

I specified it in changelog but up to 2-3 times more dps this league compared to last.

Small build update:

Now that new PoB is finally out I decided to update the PoB a bit again with some improvements thanks to new tree and having updated gems.

- Replaced 1 Circle of Nostalgia with rare ring again as it is like 400 extra life. Of course you can still use double Circle of Nostalgia if you want maximum DPS
- Updated all trees to 3.20
- Added **Impossible Escape** to endgame trees as it is now extremely efficient for us
- Switched Despair to Anomalous Despair as this alt quality is actually more damage
