This build MELTS EVERYTHING! - Poison burst Pathfinder

[@RedRazor7]

UPDATE: Turns out i misread swift affliction and it does not apply to our poisons. Swift reads its supposed to increase non-damaging ailments damage over time? So skills like essence drain only. We will be replacing it with Heft, for a flat phys damage increase! My current endgame 6 line on arrow is Corrosion - Martial Tempo - Comorbidity - Deadly Poisons - Heft.

I rly like how you take your time with the support skills. Keep updating the guide. Good job man

[@reapedspartan8172]

Who says thats not flashy? Thats cool as hell! Everyone is dying super fast!

[@HK41251]

Saw you stop by my Twitch chat the other day. Just so you know, I did some testing with the damage numbers and Armour Break is NOT affecting the Plague Burst damage OR the Gas Arrow cloud/projectile hit, even with a pure phys bow. Thought I'd let you know!

[@RedRazor7]

Yea I started messing around with it the other day and I was noticing the same thing. Turns out the only real benefit of the armor break is to increase the ability to stun mobs so it does have some benefit for bosses but outside of that things die way too fast! Appreciate you commenting and mentioning it! I will probably just swap the corrosion to gas cloud bursting plague to my arrow for clear

Love the vid man, finally a poison build! unfortunately I've already specced into deadeye but ill try to make this work somehow!

[@RedRazor7]

Glad you liked it! Theres a good chance this works with dead eye as well! the only thing you are missing out on is the double poisons. You can get the poison spread from herald of plague so you either need to take the supports out of wind dancer or get spirit somewhere! But on the flip side getting +1 arrow is nice for clear and tailwind gives some nice bonuses as well to finish it off!

@@RedRazor7 Awesome, Thank you man!

[@Had3s787]

Been looking for a poison burst focused build, really awesome in-depth build showcase and will help me out on my build! Also check out “Fast acting Toxins” and “Wasting” in the passive skill tree. I think these will up poison damage!

[@RedRazor7]

It's funny you mention that, after the video I went and did my third ascendancy and I was looking at where to go with the 6 points and I came across those. Not a bad idea! I will say I probably will only take wasting as fast acting toxins might cause the poisons to do too much damage. We want more duration while keeping the damage high and Fast acting toxins inherently lower the duration while doing more damage and in situations like ritual where mobs are constantly spawning on all angles you dont want to kill the mob before it has a chance to spread to the new ones! I will definitely play around with it and do an updated video next week!

Interesting interaction i learned today. You can probably lose pierce and use chain instead. It works super well!

[@RedRazor7]

Its something i thought about testing. The reason I like pierce is its much cheaper to get 100% pierce than chance to chain which allows us to invest more into damage. When you are able to get +1 arrow, whether on the implicit of the bow or as a suffix, it gives that bigger aoe clear. Plus pierce allows our arrow to keep going off screen and clear ahead of us on longer straight maps! The only reliable way to chain ive found is chain support which also guts our dmg in half and our poisons are based on our damage. If they add a quiver or other reliable ways to get 100% chain without the reduction its definitely something to look into.

[@ryanlucas5504]

@@RedRazor7 I didn't think about the decrease in damage as I'm still thinking its like poe 1 where DoT matters more, where this is regarding biggest hit.

[@RedRazor7]

Yea they reworked out poisons in poe2, its definitely been fun to mess around with and see whats possible!

[@kevinortega4613]

Would this work on gemling?

[@RedRazor7]

I dont see why not, obviously your tree would look a little different and you would need plague of herald but you could make it work.

[@0oMuffinSo0]

chaos nodes dont show an increase in poison damage in tool tip for poison skills, is this a visual bug?

[@RedRazor7]

I imagine it is, because poison damage is chaos damage per second, so any chaos damage scaling should scale the damage. Another thing to note, the tool tip isnt assuming max stacks of poisons so it doesnt accurately display our dps if were keeping max poison stacks.

[@0oMuffinSo0]

@@RedRazor7 gotcha thank you

[@teknuTwuhwuh]
