[3.25] Scourge Arrow Poison Prolif Pathfinder - Fast, tanky, fun to play

Some updates on my min-maxing if this build, trying to squeeze out the most damage (albeit probably not in any way necessary at this point) whilst still keeping reasonable defensive mechanisms.

Defence
- 6.1k life
- 67% chance to evade attacks
- 53% chance to dodge attacks
- 47% chance to dodge spells
- 82% elemental damage mitigation (all elements)
- 35% physical damage mitigation

Offense
(Damage is Scourge Arrow Thorn Arrows + Release at 5 Stages)
- 27.5mil Shaper DPS w/ Mirage Archer variation
- 33.0mil Shaper DPS w/ Vile Toxins variation

My most recent damage upgrade is mainly from this nostalgia:

And some from:
- Linking Despair/Awakened Blasphemy with level 4 Empower, also applied to Plague Bearer and Vaal Haste (along with Increased Duration) via 6-linking my Darkscorn,
- Level 6 Awakened Added Chaos Damage.

Pastebin.

Room for more damage growth?
There are a couple of future (final?) updates before I'm done:
- Reach lvl 97 for the last damage node in this build (minor passive near in Swift Venoms cluster),
- +1 frenzy charges on gloves (alas so many 60% rolled Fenumus that I have already bricked),
- Watcher's eye with #% increased Attack Speed while affected by Precision,
- Enchant my boots (if I'm lucky) with 16% increased Attack and Cast Speed if you've Killed Recently,
- Upgrade from level 5 to level 6 gems for Awakened Unbound Ailments and Awakened Deadly Ailments for some minor gains.

Finally I could waste a very large amount on divines on the nostalgia above to try to push all explicits to their upper boundaries (allowing lvl 20 despair and wither, as well as some more dmg from HoA buff).

What's the secret to HoAG, Precision, Malevolence, and Aspect of Spider at same time?

Enlighten level 3-4

Low Level Precision



This also requires you to have -mana cost chest to make things work effectively.

Just wanted to say thanks for making a well-written guide. I've followed it on one of my characters this league and have been enjoying every minute.

hey guys why no Atziri's Promise in the high end version of the build?
its boosting damage alot

No space, and Cinderswallow is better.

anyone thinking about Awakened Curse on Hit gem instead of only 12 lvl despair on hit on gloves?

so seems to be going well for me atm but i do sometimes get 1 shot. what would you suggest i change/save up for. items wise?
I know i need to change the sockets on my boots, not had any luck with colour rolls lately.

Your gear has almost 0 life on it, no life on body, no life on rings, amulet. If you are struggling with capping chaos res on your budget for divine flesh then I woudl recommend just skipping it for now and get some nice high life high res rares instead and drillneck for now because your DPS isnt that great atm too. Your bow is also missin flat chaos what is huge damage loss.

thx for the build op. what do u guys think that should i improve? ty for responses..
