[RIP] Pathfinder - No Uniques Needed - Beginner Friendly - Bleeding Concoction to get to EndGame

Hello!

Thank you for reading through the guide. I am also pretty bummed out about the findings here and hope they get changed.

However, if Bleeding Concoction is the only thing not counted as a 'hit,' wouldn’t that mean this issue does not affect other bleed builds not using Concoction?

Yep! You got it. Only Bleeding Concoction is the problem here.

With some Poison on Hit nodes as well as the optional Toxic Quiver’s Poison on Hit, is the problem that we’re losing too much damage because Concoction is unable to apply Poison on Hit, thus preventing it from scaling the Poison magnitude?

You nailed it exactly. We are losing basically half of the builds effectiveness, we also lose out on Blind chance and Maim chance, which really hurts survivability in general as well.

This build was shaping up to be super fun and really smooth, I'll be keeping an eye on changes to see if it ever becomes more viable.

Can confirm that this is not viable. Hit hard wall at level 60 due poor equipment. Luckily, it is not that expensive to make this build poison gas arrow build by refunding passives.
