Poison Ranger act 1

First of all amazing game, and great launch even with the small hickups at start.

Feedback:
Start poison numbers feel low compared to lightning and bolt not by much but as the scaling with elemental is a lot easier maybe a small adjustment on the lvl 1 gem be in order.

Gems: Poisonburst Arrow unsure if i its a bug or i just missed the enitre point of wither support, in the posion text it explains it as a hitless hit and should be supportable with wither support but dont get a debuff indication on mobs so unsure if it works. tried it with all poison skills up to gas arrow (except pconc)

Vine Arrow:
Animation/glow when u have activated it with poisons is very hard to tell at times.

Toxic Growth: at timnes even on big surfaces the amount of pustules seams to be all very varied in the amount spawned and as well as placement.

other then the first few levels it been smooth fun and challenging very good class fantasy, now i just want it all in purple as it should be =D

Thats all for now, thanks for great game and all the hard work

how do you scale poison? found a ring with chaos dmg and numbers dont change,

putting points into chaos dmg doesnt do anything aswell. wither doesnt work

im scratching my head now. got the psn nodes maxed out not sure what to do now

Step 1: Totally disregard the DPS number in the Gem menue. It's worthless.

Step 2: Scale your Physical (and Chaos) Attack as high as possible and get Poison Magnitude (and faster Toxins) nodes on the passive tree.

I begin my game has poison ranger, but it's awfull, I switch (sad for my pathfinder ascendancy), stacking poison and keep it up, is hard, gaz arrow work well for stacking but you need to combinate it with Toxic Growth or Vine Arrow.

The point here is you need time to setup all and monster are very fast and they will run out and kill you.

Also, no damage over time modifier so it's scale very slow with chaos damage and physical damage

got stacks and nodes maxed out so ill go for the chaos nodes now.

put a build together that already slaps 8 stacks of psn

right click toxic growths
middle button Plague nova with astral projection
left button gas arrow with scattering shot for coverage

lower skillbar has

sniper mark with cooldown mods
barrage with 2 charges
Solar orb with overabundance and mana font for utility and gas detonation
contagion for debuff
despair for debuff

Non skillbar skills are

withering presence with mana regen
Herald of Plague with AR
Plague barer for nova

what do you think?
Love how all the skills synergize together im having such a blast with it.
Best poison archer fantasy from any games i played so far :)

what i do is i try to keep mobile all the time and playing thoughtful about positioning of mobs and taking advatage of the gas cloud coverage and solar orb to detonate everything.

also 40% movement speed helps alot
