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

Thanks for reply with detailed information.
As for Toxic Rain, one shot into pack and run along letting it melt is nice. Though bit surprised that it works just fine in act 7 with under 700 tooltip dps :D
And I already have somewhat more currency that expected, so gear should not be an issue.

I spent 2ex to roll this bow...
And nothing interesting came out :(
How this build works on blight maps?
Can confirm Plaguebearer still doing loads of work in red map (t15/t16)! I think you *must* support it with some access to Despair; personally I love just using Impresence and having the free blasphemy aura (and Maddening Presence gives you some extra defence for going into melee range).

Something I think you should add to the guide Death: remind folks that it's imperative to use Plaguebearer and THEN Withering Step. If you cast Withering Step beforehand, Plaguebearer counts as "skill" and removes Withering Step.

A quick update on my progress: managed to snag a Glorious Vanity and anointed my Impresence with Cleansed Thoughts (double chaos res); currently sat at 154% chaos res. I will rebalance it when I re-upgrade my rares when I can ditch some Chaos Res.

The only thing that can one-shot me now is big melee hits; Minotaur with some nasty mods is the only scary thing atm due to boulders doing insane damage. I'll fix this by working in more life and regen. I'm using Vaal Grace now to try and avoid these situations but may also work in Stone Golem or Chaos Golem.

Next target is getting a Darkscorn - 5ex in the bank but also can use my 6L Lionseye Glare which is worth about 5ex. Hunting all Monolith content atm to try and get it to drop.
Thanks for the build, at first I was a bit disappointed with damage, but with Lioneyes glare everything till red maps dies just fine. I had some problems with blight bosses, but I have to try them with new gear (didn't meet them close enough to see the damage). I'm thinking about getting Devoto's with scourge arrow enchant for movement speed and chaos res (but I'll have to fix my res somehow) and maybe trying to corrupt the drillneck for +1 arrow. I'm also thinking about anointing Dirty Techniques.

Should i use this bow and craft what in it?



Np, glad you like it :)

I would craft % increased phys on it probably (also, that is pretty nice bow)


In general, % phys is better than chaos dot multi now?

Oh I completely missed the flat chaos mod. Nope, actually it isnt. But you need either phys or flat chaos on the bow.

Yeah, Lioneyes is pretty damn good, I regret not putting it to guide sooner.

Your chest choice is very interesting, I was thinking about trying out Kaom's version as well, but im so tight on sockets.

For Drillneck corruption, honestly, the pierce is BIS. Without pierce, you are not even getting the bonus from Drillneck (increased damage with ailments to targets you pierce). And extra arrow is not adding damage.

If you want quiver upgrade, check the one I added in PoB, I believe its somewhat craftable with fossils.

For annoints, if you can, try to grab Vitality Void, it makes huuge difference in single target survivability. I am aiming for it as well (unless I get the chaos setup rolling, then I will go with Cleansed Thoughts).

That is pretty damn sweet progress. I hope I will be able to start rolling with the Darkscorn + Divine Flesh this league again as well, as it felt so great.

Stone Golem so far worked pretty well, but Enduring Cry is very good option too for some extra defence (and very helpful mainly in Delve).

Shuddering + Corroded (and maybe aberrant or pristine) on regular ilvl64+ base (for max life roll). we dont want any of shaper/elder mods. I always just use poedb to see the best combinations: http://poedb.tw/us/mod.php?cn=Quiver
