Poisonous Concoction Pathfinder Build Guide - Path of Exile 2

[@pathofky]

FAQ & Additional info: Can get MUCH faster by dropping the rarity on the helm and gloves making them very cheap, so you can then opt into a helm with 100-150 more es aswell as higher evasion gloves. Can also drop a tons of damage nodes just for more es on your main setup, its at least 4x what you need for mapping. How much does it cost?: At current prices and without rarity on gear you can get 85% of the damage for like about 7 divines. I purchased my queen of the forest at 50ex but it has increased in price. What Jewels?: Most important 2 mods are Poison magnitude & increased bonuses from quiver. For the +2 gems on your quiver you want to hit 50% increased effect breakpoints resulting in +1 gem level per 50% totaling your widowhail, passive tree, and jewels. How do you sustain flask charges on bosses?: You don't!.. Kinda. I have anointed "arcane alchemy" + 0.25 charges gained per second on mana flask suffix along with a fine belt base for 0.17 charges per second, just for a little sustain. With my current setup the only time I have ran out of flask charges has been on t4 pinnacle bosses at around 25%hp. Everything else is defeated long before that. I will cover this in an update video in a few days but the gist I am theorizing would be swapping your ascendency point off traveler's wisdom and allocating connected chemistry instead, taking a few increased flask charges gained nodes that you are already connected to, the 0.25 charges gained per second suffix mod on your mana flask, a "fine belt" belt base that provides 0.17 charges per second along with increased flask charges gained suffix, and for right now the 0.1 charges gained per second anoint "arcane alchemy". I have tested this and it needs just a little more though for 100% uptime on throwing. My goal however, would be to simply deal so much damage you don't need a full flask to deal with t4 pinnacle bosses. And as for mapping I have never run out of charges. Follow up video?: There will be a follow-up with a few things I missed, aswell as a more endgame setup. Along with some more alternatives and swaps you can do.

[@KrummySkill]

Wait I'm confused. I thought they said that the bonuses to quiver weren't supposed to buff + skills, is that not the case?

[@Itslorenzo1]

Yeeeeesh man, GREAT build. That is the smoothest mapping I've seen so far! I started as infernalist summoner w/ arsonists this league and got pretty bored of the play style. I've always loved poison pathfinder, so I'll probably dump my currency into this next. Thanks for the guide!

[@ae1337]

Don't sleep on boots, they provide clear speed and vs some mechanics they are insane, like ritual, you just stand and it clears itself. Its like free spam of gas arrow, with more damage because its based off corpse life.

[@MrPurpleraine11]

Hello, are you likely going to upload this build on Moba or maxroll? great build. o7

[@goochbasshero]

Been playing pconc since a few days before the nerf and I've been pretty happy with it. After watching this video I started using the boots and holy shit the tech is insane. Maybe one of the best breach builds now, thanks for the tips!

[@Halcy_n]

This is really interesting. I had planned a very similar setup on launch before making the classic last second pivot haha. I didn't consider the boots because of the ms but qotf is a real clean solution and from your footage they look insane. I would be curious to try abusing weapon swap blink for movement so you can get way more ES on your chest while keeping the boots

[@nadadenadak]

how would I know that these equips even exist in order to try creating builds around these items? I see many builds being only possible due to these items, but there so many of them. Are there any database of all existing items anywhere?

nice build man, and yeah, corpsewade are nuts, glad i leveled my merc with them before recent patch where level requirement went up!

[@InnoMori]

Been leveling a pf past few days for pconc. Ill be running a + 5 bow with some bonus attack speed or such. Thanks for some of these techs those boots look phenomenal! Definitely gonna be making a variant of this thats non bugged and see how far i can push it!

[@binhvan4893]

Dont try to push too hard for atk speed on gears if your passive tree had it cover 'cause you'll struggle to keep up your flask charge to spam the skill.

[@pathofky]

Attack speed on your bow will not affect the attack speed of your pconc, just a warning. As for right now I doubt there is any way to scale this better than widowhail. Even if the increased damage is fixed, you can find it elsewhere. I'm exploring options incase that happens.

[@Zabplown]

Siiiiick ! That's what I tried to play at leaguestart but the invesment needed was so insane it was nearly impossible to manage tankiness, poison buildup and sustain flasks at the same time. I was stuck in low tier maps, and decided to reroll monk last week-end after days of frustration I'm glad someone finally made it, bravo

[@pathofky]

This may be largely in-part because GGG buffed the skill by at least 100% in the most recent patch, in addition to reducing the flask charge cost from 5->3 per cast. Unlucky brother.

[@Zabplown]

@@pathofky The worst part is I had the same thought process for a majority of stuff in this video, but at that time just for flask sustain i had to drop poison ascendency and most of poison nodes on the tree.

[@someoneelse1952]

Nice build I'm just confused about the passive tree weapon swap nodes. I'll continue to look at another video about it. Thanks for the build.

[@Devonwilliams-zd1kc]

Like he said, there’s no weapon set setup for concoct so he’s manually swapping, basically you have a talent tree for each weapon set(swap weapon) and each time you switch you are toggling between two talent trees that’s why he’s getting like 75% evasion for giga move speed on the shield swap set

[@someoneelse1952]

@Devonwilliams-zd1kc After rewatching it a few times, I got it now. My issue was only the passive tree point allocation for each weapon set (off hand and bow).

[@haiganul5704]

Great build, keep the good work.

[@franklyanickel]

thank you for this. simply just copying your evasion/energy shield nodes have drastically changed the game for me!

[@alexmr60]

your video was a great discovery :D. At a time when I'm building poison and having a little trouble finding my way around. Could you put a maxroll link so that we also have the build and written explanations? Thanks for everything and can't wait to see future builds.

[@Synky]

I see Queen of the forest is 5 or 6 divines right now. I have like 8 divines total, what kind of budget do you think is necessary? Any ballpark? Is queen of the forest the most expensive item (as far as you can tell as obviously the market fluctuates heavily right now especially given you just made this guide)

[@pathofky]

Yes queen of the forest is by far the most expensive item. Boots are 1ex. Ring, belt, gloves, and helm can all be much cheaper without rarity. Amulet can be cheaper with a +2 proj, quiver will be a tad expensive for a decent one still since you are sharing the same stats for any build using a widowhail.

[@TonyKAlves]

Is possible do it with no Queen? Just points of moviment speed on tree? Ty

[@simonb.g3798]

Very cool, I'm playing something similar but I have corrupted bow for chaos dmg and using rain of arrows to apply wither. Never considered using second weapon set for better curse/movespeed, will try that

[@pathofky]

I've tried rain of arrows for wither, I'm curious what supports are you running with that?

[@MKP2W]

What would you use if you had Ingenuity? Would you still use Ming's heart or a rare ring with a bunch of other bonuses?

[@pathofky]

Ming's heart would start cutting off alot of evasion/movespeed/hp IMO. I am currently testing things with that as possibly being the end game setup.

[@lasergunqq1551]

Do you have stages of your Skill Tree while leveling? Also did you level up with PC or did you use others skills at the beginning? Nice Guide and Nice Build!

[@karmoth6666]

I second this

[@pathofky]

I was using gas arrow combined with the plaugefinger unique gloves which makes your elemental damage count towards poison. This with a widowhail I used all throughout the campaign. Only thing you need to do buy a quiver with lots of flat damage + damage with bow skills and upgrade it about every 10-15 levels and I was flying through with that setup. A majority of the damage was just "hit damage" from gas arrow though. However that was pre-poisonous concoction buff and you could probably get away with going pconc earlier if you'd like.

I was hoping to see one of my favorite skills from poe 1 to be tackled in a build. More so after buff from the patch.

[@illuriouz]

Hi great video. Can you answer a few question. What do you level with ? When is a good time to transit into this build? Adding these info will help greatly for new player

[@pathofky]

I leveled with gas arrow + plaugefinger gloves, this was before the buff to pconc so I cant comment on leveling with it. Upgrading quiver every 10-15 levels or so and I was flying through. Poison damage I found was very low early though, most of the damage was "hits" from gas arrow itself. With the latest buff to pconc u could probably level with that easily. Would delay your ascendency point to double poison stacks till 3rd lab though.

[@illuriouz]

@pathofky you miss out that

[@overtalker230]

Great build, been leveling a Poison PF for the last few days now and switched to PConc today from Gas Arrow with something like this definitely being the build goal. I do hope though that if Corpsewade does get nerfed like a lot of other players are expecting that it's at least done in a way that still lets builds like this use it effectively but its gonna be a tense few weeks to wait and see but will enjoy using them while I can.

[@pathofky]

Hoping it doesn't get deleted too bad, but honestly even if it goes to 5% its still more than enough to serve its purpose. I was also playing gas arrow and was having a very rough time scaling my single target, luckily with the 100% buff to pconc and swapping to that its insane now.

[@russlmao7091]

I don't think they will delete or nerf this. Cast on freeze skills and others that were nerf bc they were cheap investment but provide HIGH value. Thi build however needs three uniques to be functional all of them cause divine orbs In short, you need high investment to dominate with it.

[@overtalker230]

[@multipass8519]

big ask here lol, if you had to, before you had the boots, and wanted to do a gas arrow clear, swap to pconc for bosses. how would you set your tree up?

[@pathofky]

Quite literally the exact same I think. I was originally running gas arrow before I swapped to pconc and my tree barley changed if at all. Only problem you would run into there is the gas arrow support gems and pconc support gems are going to heavily overlap, so you would have to manually swap the gems around each time.

[@multipass8519]

@@pathofky what makes pconc better for single target? just higher base poison?

[@pathofky]

Just from my experience when I was playing with gas arrow pconc highly outperforms. If you can delete bosses on gas arrow as fast as the footage here I'd love to have a look at your build, I personally was very low on single target with it.

[@만두곰-w3z]

Is there a way to improve the quality of PConc? I know the 6 link level is 90 but I don't know how to improve the quality.

For maps you will never need extra sustain, I do not see how you would run out. Just the flask suffix or nothing at all will keep you up. For a bit more the amulet anoint I have along with a fine belt + mana flash suffix gain 0.25 charges a second is where I've started.

I leveled with gas arrow, plaugefinger gloves, and a widowhail upgrading the quiver ( with alot of flat damage and damage with bow skills) about every 10-15 levels and flew threw the campaign. I was already mapping with gas arrow pre-pconc buff so I can't comment on leveling with it early however with how incredibly strong it is with its own base damage I can't see it being bad.

[@sedrickphillips]

You know i literally stumbled upon this video by pure luck and im making something very similar...thanks for the gems...i was not playing deadeye i was sticking with pathfinder no matter what.

[@stefanboehle9682]

Gotta ask stupidly for what is the 3rd spell there in your skillbar ( the other green one ) ? Even at bosses you only threw the flasks

[@pathofky]

That is vine arrow. It was on the ground before the first clip began.

[@stefanboehle9682]

@pathofky is it used for anything ? Rewatched the Rotation for mapping and bosses or am i just stupid ?:D

[@pathofky]

It is explained in there, but it effectively doubles your damage. Also provides rage and some mana regen.

[@iceiceice914]

Do you know how expensive this build is?

[@pathofky]

As of writing this now Queen of the forest is 4 divines unfortunately, it went up massively since I bought it at 50ex awhile ago. So that will be your main hurdle as its a core piece if you are using the unique boots. Next expensive piece will be a nice quiver which can be between 2-3, ofc you can get a much cheaper one though. Aside from those 2 pieces everything else can be acquired in a more budget form with little downside for something like 2div total. So in total around 8d.

[@iceiceice914]

@ Bro, why don’t you pick acrobatics?

[@pathofky]

Acrobatics would brick this build with 70% less evasion. It would reduce the movement speed by 70% as well which is what I really want to lean into.

[@pathofky]

The bows base damage does not matter as pconc states "deals unarmed chaos attack damage" meaning it does not include your weapon's base damage in its damage calculation. The bow exists only to scale your quivers stats, which do scale your damage.

[@Halcy_n]

worth noting that pconc scales particularly well with gem levels so the widowhail setup is very strong with +2 on quiver

Hi, nice to see this build as an endgame version, i am playing the same build but in HC and im thinking on investing on more energy shield and maybe chaos innoculation, what are your thoughts on that, seems legit? wanted to be make a tanky dot character and this seemed like a good fit

[@pathofky]

I am a softcore gamer myself so I can't comment too much on a HC setup, but I'll try. The only thing that currently puts me down on occasion is the little chaos balls that follow you or if I stand in > 5 ground circles at a time assuming I have 5 ghost dance charges. One thing I can say is that if you want this level of movement speed you are going to have to go with a Queen of the Forest as far as I know at this moment. Queen of the forest offers much less defense than a big evasion/energy shield hybrid chest would give you though, (which is something I swap to during some pinnacle bosses that I will cover in a follow up video soon). CI and energy shield is just straight up busted in general right now though so I'd imagine if you swapped the gloves out for a hybrid pair, get a better helm than mine, and path to the hybrid es/evasion nodes instead of going a majority pure evasion like I have currently you may be able to cook something there. Can't say I'd recommend rolling with the boots though in a HC setup as they are a complete defensive brick. Pair of boots with insane es/ev rolls should be incredibly cheap since you don't need movement speed on them though, and would also recover the lost evasion from your gloves so if I were you I'd look towards that direction. This is all just spitballing though, stay safe.

At level 90 it automatically becomes level 20 and unlocks the final slot.

[@samueldang4265]

Finaly, a concoction build :)).

[@therocklau]

I think it's just how POE2 works differently than POE1, it seems if a weapon specific mod is not local, it is global, damage with bow is a global bow mod, and when you have a bow in hand that's just global and will apply to whatever attack skill you use, it's not like there's more skills to use on, concoction is a really special case. However the widowhail interaction is just too strong, I suspect the bow will get nerfed, to something like 150% top end corruption 180 or something, right now with a crit quiver, shattering/ice concoction can reach 100% crit rather easily, a crit base quiver that has +2, crit roll and crit multi can get you there.

how do you refresh flask charges on boss fights?

[@pathofky]

This is the question. With my current setup I have only ever started to run out of charges against t4 pinnacle bosses, everything else is defeated long before that. I will cover this in an update video in a few days but the ghist would be swapping your ascendency point off traveler's wisdom and allocating connected chemistry instead, taking a few increased flash charges gained nodes that you are already connected to, the 0.25 charges gained per second suffix mod on your mana flask, a "fine belt" belt base that provides 0.17 charges per second along with increased flask charges gained suffix, and for right now the 0.1 charges gained per second anoint "arcane alchemy". I have tested this and it needs just a little more though for 100% uptime on throwing. My goal however, would be to simply deal so much damage you don't need a full flask to deal with t4 bosses.

[@andresrodriguez9841]

I guess you can get some extra spirit in amulet to put the aura that recharges your flasks and also you can respec some damage nodes and allocate points to flask recharge rate.

Could you please add a passive tree link?

[@rend2322]

Thank you for the guide, I have a question - Why don't we take acrobatics?

[@pathofky]

Acrobatics would give us a 70% less evasion modifier which would translate to 70% less movement speed. In place of this is the ghost dance setup which effectively gives you 5 free hits to ground circles/slams before the damage starts to hurt. Basically as long as I don't stand in 5+ overlapped ground circles the only thing that gets me still is the tiny chaos balls spawned by the flowers that chase you around.

[@jedrusnowak3317]

wait so u can throw concotion while u have a bow???

you guys think Widowhail is intended to work with Pconc? Unarmed but armed :)

[@glorymmo]

yes. It's how all unarmed skills work. You can still use them while wearing a weapon.

[@gal2253]

@@glorymmo so in PoE1 Pcon also works with Widowhall? It's one of those skill/builds that I never played :)

[@pathofky]

In poe1 there is a line explicity on pconc that says " requires an empty main hand ". In poe2 there is no line and there is multiple attacks, such as all the palm skills from monk, that state they deal unarmed damage while being able to also hold a weapon.

[@idea677]

Not bugged you have 10 more skill level, for poison skills how much you stack up skill level that skill dps exponentially increase and your poison conc's level 34.

[@pathofky]

Some people are getting a little confused by what I said. To be clear I was referring to specifically the line " damage with bow skills " all other parts are intended and not bugged.

[@seanplays16]

i respec back to gas arrow after finding out you need to be level 90 just to 5 link the concoction skills.

[@SwordsmanMihawk326]

Don’t need 5 link 4 does good dmg

[@glorymmo]

low iq take respeccing to a build that does less damage cause u arent instantly at a 6 link lmao.

please written guide on mobalytics/maxroll

[@QuyLe-o4q]

no gg build sir?

[@Skylaw66]

Hello good morning, try to upload that build on maxroll, it's very good, the truth is I'm new and I don't know how to start, could you help me know how to start, thank you very much

[@pathofky]

For starters you need a widowhail, queen of the forest, corpsewade, and a quiver with +2 projectile skills. If you can't afford queen of the forest I would recommend a chest with high evasion/energy shield, and regular boots until you can afford one. I will try to get a build up and rolling on maxroll as soon as I can.

[@TVminggu]

Why is there such a difference in skill points? It is far short. At level 88, there should be a shortfall of 3, but there is a much bigger difference.

[@pathofky]

I'm a little confused by what you mean. Are you saying that I am missing passive points? Or are you maybe missing how the weapon set passives work?

[@illuriouz]

U explained everything but left out the ascendency points 😂 good vid

[@pathofky]

Whoops xd.

[@sol5916]

It’s impressive how far people will go to bring back POE 1 😂

[@pathofky]

Although ur 100% right. Honestly the massive space between packs sometimes combo-d with the need to backtrack across the country if u missed a rare feels pretty bad without big movement speed. My suggestion for them there would be to rework the requirements to complete maps, and maybe a small out-of-combat ramping movement speed bonus.

[@sol5916]

@ nah, I totally get it. The sheer size and backtracking interrupts the flow. The perimeters aren’t visually defined in outdoor maps as well. I’ve hit the wall on accident quite a few times. And I’m not a fan of the abundance of little islands all over the place personally

[@PoiColle]

Didnt pconc in poe1 also just count as fist

[@pathofky]

That is actually one of the best parts of pconc in POE2. It deals unarmed damage, so its not based on your weapon's damage, but does not disable you from using a weapon.

[@PoiColle]

@pathofky ye. The fact it was a fist was pretty nice in poe1 as well. I was an avid pconc of bouncing enthousiast

[@izaruburs9389]

Pconc didnt count as unarmed. You werent able to hold a weapon but unarmed scaling did nothing for it.

[@PoiColle]

@izaruburs9389 pconc certainly does count as unarmed chaos damage. It just doesnt scale with any unarmed support.

[@izaruburs9389]

@@PoiColle It mentions 'unarmed' nowhere and that's why it is most certainly not unarmed. The gem just states that you cannot use a weapon, but not state that you are unarmed. If it counted as unarmed it would scale with modifiers for unarmed damage, because that's how strict GGG is on wording in PoE.

Get in fast lads. You have until the devs get back from holidays:)

[@Duuude9448]

i still dont get why u think its a buged ? ur damage scale from lvl the gem dats it

[@pathofky]

I placed a blue quiver on with only 1 stat being " damage with bow skills ". In that example there was no + to gem levels on the example quiver. To me the most likely case is that is a bug. Unless its intentional that poisonous concoction, which deals unarmed damage and does not "attack" with our bow, is supposed to be counted as a bow skill simply because we have a bow equip and are using the skill.

[@izaruburs9389]

​@@pathofkyI hope it's intended because scaling it otherwise will be basicly impossible (for now). Generic dmg increases just don't really excist on anything but caster weapons.

Guide ?
