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

But if you ever have a half a second where your res flask is down, doesn't your character pop like a balloon due to the 10,000dps of fire damage direct to you?

Well you can turn the skill on/off as well and after reductions its only like 1.5k self damage so you have 3+ seconds to not die from it. Of course you can also just use Darkrays or other DPS boot instead if you prefer the safety, but I played Indigon PF with RF before where my life and mana sustain was just from Enduring Mana Flask and it was never really an issue and you cant quickly turn RF off unlike the boots.

we probably "can" replace The Covenant

That sadly only rolls on new special Crucible Unique staff

OK SO IMPORTANT

Scourge Arrow thorn arrows return but you NEED 40% projectile speed + Vengeant speed. This is Ballistics + Default SA qual.

Very important build update:

- Switched from Anomalous Scourge Arrow to regular Scourge Arrow to reach projectile speed threshold
- Repathed on all trees to take Ballistics

You WANT 55%+ projectile speed on SA now so your SA thorn arrows can return.

By the way would heavily recommend using momentum on your ballistas while leveling and also manaforged CA, especially early. I would update the leveling guide but release pob does not have new gems yet and I dont want to confuse anyone with pseudo gems

Small build update:

- Added Manaforged Arrows + Lifetap to final setup to automate Frenzy.
When you summon totems they will trigger frenzy and automate both Frenzy and Lifetap.
So now we basially just press our ballistas and movement skill and Vaal Haste
when needed, very chill playstyle
- Switched pantheon from Brine King to Arakaali, this helps with boots
degen and can also act as emergency recovery boost (disable boots and that
will activate Arakaali 20% inc life recovery rate for massive healing boost)
- Added Manaforged Arrows + Caustic Arrow to leveling setup
- Added Skirmish to leveling setup

Whats the pro and cons of SA balista vs a similar build like TR balista?

Better scaling and clear, TR ballistas are easier to start and have good enough bossing. Im doing TR until I can get darkscorn + wilmas as well, its just what TR does best so might as well.
