Path of Building - Pastabin

https://pobb.in/blUCCIbfJp68 (3.24, updated 22.04.2024.)
- everything is inside

Use this as much as you can, everything will be inside. A lot of leveling trees inside and ofc the Endgame trees, to the bottom left where it says "Endgame - 95", click on that and you can swap out the trees to see what you need to prioritize. Also here you can check out the whole tree, gear, gems, enchants, damage, etc. Basically you can see everything that I had and what you should aim for at each point in your leveling process.


Leveling

General tips:

Spoiler
Armour:
You want to focus on Armour/Evasion based gear. Every single item should have as much Armour/Evasion as possible.

Weapons and shields:
This is a spell based build meaning the levels of the gems mean A LOT. Try to increase either the levels of your main skill or increase your Spell damage/DoT/Chaos DoT damage.

Links and skill gems:
Links are always important and your primary skill should have the most links during leveling. If you find a 4L/5L/6L (Tabula rasa) you should place your main skills inside.

Influenced items:
Helmet, Gloves and Boots should be regular rares that you're going to modify with Eltritch currency items.

Early Acts guide

Spoiler
Act 1
Life flasks are very important, try to have 2/3 of them and strongest versions at all times. We will need them for poisonous concoction damage!
Look for 3-linked all green socket items (3G).

> Caustic arrow + Momentum

Complete the Breaking some eggs quest and the Mercy Mission.
Keep looking for 3G items.
> Caustic arrow + Volley + Mirage Archer
> Shrapnel Ballista
> Dash


When you reach prison, head back to town and pick up Lesser multiple Projectiles (LMP) and link it to Shrapnel Ballista.
> Caustic arrow + Volley + Mirage Archer
> Shrapnel Ballista + LMP
> Dash


After Killing Brutus pick up Precision.
> Caustic arrow + Volley + Mirage Archer
> Shrapnel Ballista + LMP
> Dash
> Precision


When you reach Merveil's Caverns, head to town, drop your Caustic Arrow, Shrapnel Ballista, your Bow and take the reward Poisonous concoction.
You must have no weapon equipped but you can buy a Shield.
> Poisonous Concoction + Volley + LMP
> Dash
> Precision


Weapons won't matter after act 1 since poisonous concoction doesn't use weapons, so just focus on your Life flasks, Life and resists.

Act 2
> Poisonous Concoction + Volley + LMP
> Dash
> Precision, Herald of Agony
> Poacher's Mark


Uniques to look after!: Obliteration, Dendrobate, Ming's Heart, The Embalmer.

FLASKS ARE IMPORTANT: Every flask should have either less charges used or increased charges gained (T2 modifiers at least)

This looks interesting and unmeta! Is bossing decent and are you able to tank alot?

Also what do you think of this belt The tides of time?

Haven't had the time to get to T16/T17 maps yet but build slaps bosses as well when you get the Gear and levels up and running. I melted every single boss until now but I do have a really good chestpiece so no real reference atm. Will keep you posted.

That belt might be BiS.

Thank you. I am enjoying this build so far and its really strong but i feel like i dont really need to go BV and embalmer glove at all. Can we use plague bearer instead?
Looks awesome, I've been wanting to play Pathfinder but not a fan of ballista playstyle with Toxic Rain. The Tides of Time looks like such an awesome belt too.
