Poison Gas Arrow Pathfinder
|
Not unless you plan to blow up the gas. The poisons will get to higher stacks slightly faster, but once there, you'll be capped by the lower damage of the bow.

if snakebite is +30% dps then why give up comorbidity?
|
|
"Poison duration is a DPS increase even after the max amount of poison stacks is reached because the active stacks are always the ones with the highest damage roll. The less duration mod makes comorbidity a damage loss unless you spend a lot of time shooting or have more additional projectiles. Builds and Guides:

Hey, just a quick question but do you really still ignore chaos ress and play with 0% chaos ress?
|

"With the recent res buff there's plenty of space on gear to get chaos res now. I still have 0 chaos res but that's because I'm running 189% rarity. Builds and Guides:

" Hello. Thanks a lot for posting your build, I was running something like that in the early endgame and it really helped me a lot and bring me to T15 maps. I made small changes, because Im struggling in boss fighting with 4+ difficult (they too ofter 1shot me, I need more dmg), so I dropped some flask nodes and went for just more dmg to clear faster and it works really good, I just melt normal and elites mobs and breaches before they even get close to me. Im using Herald of Plague because its incredible fun spreading poison to other mobs, increasing my clear speed. I have 9794 dps and 13457 dps with my poison cloud, running with scattershot and execute (no need magnified effect because my poison is spreading by Herald) At 92 lvl I run 7 jewel nodes with ailment/poison magnitude and projectile dmg, somewhere also attack speed and evasion. Need 2 levels more for another jewel. Right now I have 2700 hp and 63% evasion Im thinking of what to do next, I think I will go for unique belt for additional dmg and then I dunno, maybe gear with higher evasion for more than 70% or maybe crazy bow with higher dmg (I use zealot 240-392 dmg and +3 to level of skills) |

"If you need dmg for bossing you could get some spirit on your chest/amu so you can run Attrition along with the other spirit gems. Builds and Guides:

I'm glad for the ways our builds are similar but I don't take any of the flask stuff at all. In ascendancy I take the extra passives and the speed while shooting and on the passive tree I stack more resist and damage. I'm only at t9 maps so I'm not challenging your wisdom lol, but I'm hoping with some continual upgrades I can get to t15
It has been immensely fun. https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/t11ewl01 My first time going this far with a build of my own so by all means it may have glaring issues but I basically just searched the nodes I wanted and tried to make it all fit. Really glad for this thread. This and realizing where the poison tick dmg actually displays for gas arrow were the most helpful things lol. | |

Your build has been great. I have played it until lv85 for now and especially the fact that you dont have to manage int makes it much easier to find adequate gear.
I have however a found a slight improvement. If you add rain of arrows with chaos infusion and withering touch you can easily reach max wither on bosses very fast. This helped me especially during early maps. |

As a long time PoE 1 Caustic Arrow raider (then pathfinder) this build is so close to that playstyle it’s terrific!
For anyone just getting started follow shep’s guide. Spend your first divine on a 250+ phys dps dualstring bow and look for a decent amount of life + mana recovery if you can find it. Then 30% move speed boots. And GO!!! I’ve gone thru maps very fast and am clobbering t15s on my last set of atlas passives. Still under capped on lightning res too ;) Last edited by press_start73#9139 on Dec 30, 2024, 2:05:51 PM
