UNKILLABLE Poison Crit Bow Acolyte of Chayula | Early Endgame Build (Level 70+) | Path of Exile 2

[@arnonw1513]

Thank you for the interesting video! I am also currently in early endgame running an Acolyte of Chayula poison build, so this is really insightfull. I was wondering whether you have considered running the Snakebite unique gloves for the +1 poison stack?

[@chopchop4413]

been watching for a few days and doing my own rendition on this build! will drop some notes when I can - but for now check out Momentum support for toxic growth - its jump movement, if executed well (can get pretty consistent with triggering good jumps based on cursor-to-player placement) so you can take advantage of that +40% MORE damage

[@ChigMcWack]

The slow on vine arrow doesnt work at the moment so you can unslot that if you are only using it for slow. I am doing a Chayula Monk Poison as well but using Gas Arrow and Vine arrow for damage and then Rain of arrows for stacking Wither. Life based with 26% MoM at the moment but looking into full MoM CI or ES CI like you, just dont have the currency yet. Just got to maps. Thanks for the video, always nice seeing different out of meta builds

[@sprEEEzy]

Always found it weird how I have maim hinder etc and the vine arrow didnt seen to slow much further, thx!

[@yungsquid4576]

as an alternative to the vine arrow, have you considered a hand of chayula slotted with despair? you can slot it with the skill gem that adds decay to make it proliferate into contagion and get a big chaos resist reduction on mobs

[@sprEEEzy]

Yes, ran that for a while, but it got replaced by an aura. Might try it again.

[@kurisu1204]

I think (hope!!!) That chonk shows more of its potential once the daggers release.

[@sprEEEzy]

Oh yeah, 100%! The dagger nodes on the tree have poison!

[@kurisu1204]

@sprEEEzy this and hopefully some usefull skills that lean into chaos dmg to fit the theme of the asc.

[@GeorgeReavley]

Awesome build dude! I’ve just completed Act 3 with this build. Been using poison burst along side rain of arrows. I tried only rain but it just felt too clunky. I’ve gone embrace the darkness as well as until I have the ES mana leech set up I don’t see much use for spirit

[@sprEEEzy]

Spirit is pretty useless in campaign for AoC until poison herald

[@p50tek]

I think for plan of spreading as high as possible poison, poison arrow would be better. Higher attack base. You could also add curse (-chaos res) with support giving it chaos dot, so it also spread. That should boost dmg nicely.

[@rickyhuxedurp5440]

Well, you don’t have Mind Over Matter do you think you’ll be using the version that makes it so that 16% of damage is taken from your mana?

[@rickyhuxedurp5440]

I think it’s less than that, but possibly a little bit more considering the two previous notes, but it’s somewhere around that number

[@sprEEEzy]

Afaik anything but 100% is useless because you insta die?

[@rickyhuxedurp5440]

@@sprEEEzy dam thought it would work with energy shield damage as well:(

[@Orktosqt]

Isn't Vine arrow is the broken skill with gazillion flat added damage at higher gem levels?

[@sprEEEzy]

No idea! Seems like its slow is bugged too

[@Barony03]

How to level this build

[@InvalidDiv]

why not add grim feast into the equation? you already have 30 spirit sitting; might aswell let that help you get 2x energy shield

[@vincentFGC]

excellent point

[@sprEEEzy]

Ill look into it, was just thinking about it

[@vincentFGC]

@@sprEEEzy it makes mapping a super smooth experience!

[@ever_grey4468]

Would Event Horizon node kill you on 1 hp? Also, arent Bleeds Killing you??

[@sprEEEzy]

No idea, I should try that node. Bleeds cant be inflicted on you cause of Chaos Innoculation (must hit life to bleed)

[@Nenes001]

cool build brother 🎉

[@zachjaeger7312]

Are you going to work towards Spaghettification? In theory, you already mitigated the -13% Chaos resistance penalty it gives you, but all of the buffs sound like they would be phenomenal. 7% attribute boost (something you've said will be needed), huge Chaos damage boost (29% on that node alone disregarding all of the Chaos damage boosts on the way to it) and you even get a slight movement boost... Granted, the movement boost is only 3%, but it's still a nice plus on top of the other stuff you're getting... If not, why and what else were you thinking of?

[@vuminhdang5724]

The node before spaghettification is super annoying to play around as a CI because it disrupts your ES recharge.

[@lucasbarros822]

​@@vuminhdang5724does the 3% dmg on cast node before Spaghettification can kill you with CI? I was planning to try both

[@zachjaeger7312]

@@vuminhdang5724 Omg, Event Horizon didn't even really stick out to me. Yeah, I can see that being a pain. Damn. I've been hearing people talk about it, I didn't realize where it was on the tree lol...

[@vuminhdang5724]

You need to try this with the corpsewade unique. Its absolutely broken if youre scaling chaos/poison. I dont have any poison in my chayula hexblast build but it absolutely goes crazy. It honestly is so broken that I believe a nerf is needed. If you need me to describe more, imagine triggering a poison every STEP that scales off double the base damage of Detonate Dead. Its fucking bonkers

[@sprEEEzy]

Tried it! Looks powerful, but 10% movespeed is a huge bummer and makes it not worth outside some specialized small area mechanic like Ritual

[@ever_grey4468]

Lecch is working now? Bug reports forum is raging with posts about it not working

[@lucasbarros822]

Patch notes states it got buffed. Should be fixed now

[@sprEEEzy]

It worked before too, it just required huge commitment to even see anything.

[@soysaucehairdye7869]

I've enjoyed watching your build.

[@harleijardel810]

I think into the breach can have suport gems without reserving spirit.

[@sprEEEzy]

Yes, but I find that to be a clear bug and I'm not gonna abuse it.

[@blrwllm4357]

Quality up to 20% your other aura. gives an extra charge for more evasion

[@theswedestfriend]

Great build video! 🤙 /subd

[@try2fly]

i just hate that purple flames are not buffing dot dmg. This is so bad. -.- This class is really....on a weak side

[@wulrak958]

I love the concept but tbh playing monk with bow and arrow kind put me off

[@JuL3r]

Caustic Arrow waiting room.

[@T_K_W]

Thanks for this, been theory crafting a similar build, is it not worth going for chaos damage nodes to ramp the poisons? Im not sure what the scaling is between Chaos damage +10% vs poison damage +10%? Was consideing using the darkness reserve modifier (+5% damage for uneeserved damage) aling with massive evasion to sxale up massive choas damage maybe?

[@sprEEEzy]

Not sure if chaos dmg scales poison. Afaik there is no double dipping

[@pastooleo1]

Chaos damage does scale poison. This isn’t double dipping because it’s just Chaos-type damage.

[@01tom]

@@pastooleo1 The intitial hit scales the damage of the poison, afaik chaos does not.

[@quicksilver2923]

sweet build

[@BigChols2]

How are you handling bleed? doesn't that damage types bypass energy shield? isnt bleed a physical dot? I think poison also bypasses but its chaos so CI should make you immune to that, but what is the bleed solution?

[@ItsZenp]

By nature of bleed and poison changes in poe 2 they now can only be inflicted to damage to your health. Effectively making CI immune to bleed and poison now.

[@poom323]

Bleed doesn't by pass es

[@weijietling3116]

bleed must do damage to your hp do create bleed, so CI effectively is bleed immune

[@poom323]

I feel like it's the worst for quarterstaff but can be super good for bow.

[@jagwar08]

mercenary bow build next master thxs..

[@pastooleo1]

Contagion is not spreading poisons FYI. Poison is an ailment, not a debuff. Contagion only spreads debuffs. Since you’re not really scaling spell/debuff/DOT damage, this is a wasted gem slot that could be put to better use probably. Edit: although it is spreading and refreshing the withered stacks as it spreads them, so that is nice and clever. Edit 2: I guess it does spread poisons. That is wild! Very cool.

[@murk4545]

Contagion DOES spread poison. Don’t listen to this comment.

[@p50tek]

Contagion is spreading everything that deals chaos damage over time, with its all effects. Doesn't matter if it spell, poison or curse.

[@GeorgeReavley]

Patch note from 12/12/24: Fixed a bug where the Contagion Skill was not spreading Poison.

[@sprEEEzy]

It does spread poison and its OP!

[@pastooleo1]

Huh. Well today I learned, I guess. That’s wicked.
