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

Hello, I remember trying this build and enjoying it a crapton and thought I'd give this another try. If I were to focus on firing Scourge Arrow on my own (no ballista) would that work out well as well you think? Or would I just be gimping my damage due to stuff like channel time and not to mention dodging and things?

Thanks for the great guide!

Yea the build mostly switched to ballistas because of Wilmas and stacking stuff like frenzies/onslaught etc being super efficient with it. Also new vengeant cascade is better with ballistas as you dont have to stand right on top of boss and instead you just put ballistas there.

You can ofc do self attack as well still but as you said you lose a lot of qol and you will want to use some sort of ballistas for single target anyway, just self attack SA without anything else would probs be super rough.

But also the ballista playstyle with Wilmas and some placement speed feels rly good, I used to hate on pure totem setups but ballistas are great.

Thank you, I'll give it a shot then! The starter setup seems pretty simple to put together and worst case I'll swap to some other bow skill.

this Lethal Pride is rough.
Checked on 60+ different sells and only had 1 phys taken as fire.
But would like to have atleast 2.
Very time consuming to check for a good one.

I am pretty confused while playing with the pob. the starter tree level 90 is 30 percent more dps comapred to same gear with level 90 cluster setup? so the clusters is just for some quality of life or am i just missreading something in the pob?

Depending on your build, sometimes inc. life has better effective life pool than phys taken as fire. Use pob to find a timeless jewel that can maximize your effective life pool instead.

Is it better to use lethal pride jewel to focus on defense or dps? It seems that totem damage is miniscule compared to defensive option.

Are you using this? IT searches for 5 seeds at once, then you click it again generates trade url for 5 more etc etc. I found mine relatively quikly with that.

The cluster pob has twice as much life recovery from flask and can actually run the endgame items (epseically the boots). So it looks like starter does more at lvl 90 vs lvl 90 cluster but lvl 90 starter cant wear the boots etc.

Defense always. We have enough damage from tree already, but phys taken as fire is invaluable. And the inc life as well

Any good alternative large cluster jewel? It just jumped from being ~5 div yesterday to 15 div today.

Look at the one on my curret character, that one is <100c and good enough (tempered arrowheads, martial prowess, broadside, you do not allocate broadside).

Also, small build update:

- Switched to Garukhan from Ryslatha for shock immunity (combined with ring craft)
