Poison Exsanguinate-Build

Hi,

I have a problem with the build that was proposed to me:

Pathfinder has a bunch of solid options and requires very little to be tanky while it pairs nicely with anything poison related.

Pathfinder Poison Exsanguinate is one example but most things work.

Minotaur showcase of the build(not mine):

I make with it no damage at all and it also does not look like in the video, with me only blood tails come out but make no damage at all, get not even Tier 1 enemy dead.

What am I doing wrong?

My build and skilltree you can see in my profile, something is wrong or I do it wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Dont use a lvl4 gem?

Thats the equivalent to act2 and wont be good enough to kill mobs in endgame.
Either lvl that gem or straight up buy a lvl20 gem

But Exsanguinate dont give poison if it a combination of Plaque Bearer?
How to play/trigger all that gems in correct order?
Plague bearer is a different skill that gets charged up when you poison enemies with whatever skill you use for poisoning. If plague bearer is fully charged, it changes its symbol in the skill bar and you activate it. It depletes the charges it has over the next seconds until it is empty, at which point it gets charged again automatically when you proceed to poison enemies. It is a supporting skill for clear or extra damage. you concentrate on your main skill that poisons enemies and whenever you need plague bearer you just press it.

PS: Only took a quick glance but I see only 50% chance to poison for your exsanguinate, 70% for cursed enemies. If it is that way, you should think about chance to poison support for full 100%.

Yes but Exsanguinate dont poison at all, is the ring needed for that?
Im confusing :D
Right now you just need to lvl your Exsanguinate more to be able to do any kind of meaningful damage. Poison damage scales off of the base damage of the attack/hit that applies it. Even at lvl 9, the base damage on your Exsanguinate is not nearly up to par for worthwhile endgame poisoning. Your poison damage would be so weak that charging up Plague Bearer would take forever as well.
I have a pretty good sense of humor. I'm not German.
Plague Bearer will cause you to deal LESS poison dmg with any skill you are using and stores a portion the dmg to charge up. Once it is charged up, you can trigger it and then Plague bearer will deal this stored dmg to anyone in its AoE.


So you need to deal solid poison dmg to charge Plague Bearer up and also to kill stuff while its charging up. Since ONLY poison dmg is going to charge up Plague Bearer, you will need a 100% chance to poison or at least close to 100%.
Otherwise its going to take too long to get it done and just feels clunky.

This means you do want a high lvl Exsang gem to deal more poison dmg but thats only relevant if you cap out your chance to poison.
You need to fix both issues to really benefit from Plague Bearer.
Ok but Exsang only do psy. damage how to get it working so it do poison damage?
Stack chance to poison.

Herald of Agony does that. So does the chance to poison support gem and it can also roll on weapons etc.

It seems i make poison damage, herald of agony is active, bearer is fast full.

45% change from main hand to poison
45% change from second hand to poison

But is seems very low the damage, dont know how to bossing like that :D

And with my gear is hard to cap the resistances.
