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

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3192328/page/1

Health of Ballista totem is apparently bugged. I also wondered why they get one shot by everything and why this play style has been so frustrating because of this

Hey I noticed that you switched the recomended levelling skill from toxic rain to poisonous concoction.

Despite this change, you still use the projectile damage nodes outside of ranger start, even though they do not apply to poisonous concoction. Is the PoB not set up for poisonous concoction, or do those nodes apply to poisonous concoction, or is the PoB just not updated yet?

I use projectile damage start because you still use Caustic Arrow before Poisonous Concoction. I think at around level 30 or 40 tree i respec them.

Is it normal for darkscorn to cost 130c at this point in the league, and if so, when does it normally go down. I remember buying mine last league for like 20c tops, I dont remember how long that was tho

A streamer popularized a tornado shot poison/chaos damage occultist that uses a lot of similar gear/setup. The build fails to finish acts and many beginners have had to reroll because of it, but if I have seen people crying about it it must have gotten a large following. This is likely playing a large role in darkscorn being so popular this league, which is a shame as most of the rest of the gear outside the timeless jewel can be acquired for relatively cheap until you want to do really juiced t16s/endgame content.

In your "Difference between having and not having SA enchant on helmet" video it looks like you're just rapid firing 1 stage scourge arrows, so how is the helmet enchant affecting that when it only adds an extra spore pod at maximum stages? Am I misunderstanding how the enchant works?

Well I am not. I am just spam clicking. I am not even getting to 1 stage there with the enchant. As the enchant adds extra pod at every stage, what also means at no stages. So it helps a lot for mapping as you dont need to charge at all. And for bosses its 20% more thorn arrows damage as you go from 5 to 6 pods.

why dont you have a character in scourge. I wanna try this build and dont even know what gear should be looking for. Every thing look so expensive and no way to start

for the mana mod on the jade flask is that only from unveiling the flask from catarina?

The gear is pretty well explained in PoB I think. I havent played much this league (yet).

Unless they changed it since last league, yes. You can probably find some crafting service for it if you dont have it. Alternatively Praxis also works as temporary solution.
