Guys, this looks insane!

Small Nodes combined are:

- 25% Chaos DoT Multi
- 30 Max Life
- 25% Fire Res
- 20% Chaos Res

Big one has another +8% Chaos DoT Multi.

And the 300% increased Damage on non-poisoned is insane!!
Must be so nice for Bosses.

Also, imagine it works with Pathfinder Ascendancy Reprisal
"When you kill a Poisoned Enemy during any Flask Effect, nearby Enemies are Poisoned"

Damn I decided to start with ED/Trickster. Now I'm hesitating again... :D


Yeah, it has big synergy with the build. Just the small notables are really good, and Low Tolerance has good synergy with SA primary arrow + poison prolif mechanics (because only the highest damage poison is prolifed, so you are basically always prolifing the 300% one, what is noticeable boost to clear speed).

You know what, imagine it could stack, but i highly doubt it.
Because in theory, lets say we approach a pack of 3 monsters. we hit the first one, it gets +300% increased.
Reprisal passes on the damage to the next monster, which is not poisoned yet so it gets 300% again, but based on the 300% from the first monster. so its 600%, and the third monster has 900% increased lol. no way it works like this right
I'm considering a psn arrow build like this one for the next league. How many ex would you say that this build costs to clear t15/16 and Sirius?

I've been looking through the past 50 pages, but most of the posts is about min/maxing out by people who spent at least 80ex+ on this build (and it looks awesome) but I'm pretty much a casual player (noob) that can play a few hours a day at best. I usually have 10-20ex over the span of a league due to my luck being somewhere else in life - and not POE apparently

Would that be doable?

All the best <3

This build is a bit of a slow starter, nearly quit on it... early maps will be painful, but once it gets going it's very good.

These were the major upgrades I bought before my first awakener kill, was already comfortably farming T16 by then (prices were close to league start and may be somewhat inflated):

drillneck (projectiles deal 10% increased damage per enemy pierced) - 1 ex
fenumus' weave - 2 ex
glorious vanity xibaqua - 135c
darkscorn 6L - 7 ex
impresence - 35c

Ok. Thanks!
Maybe i'll do my safe cheap HOAG or ED starter, and do this as my second build. we'll see. I've never played a straight up arrow build. Only rain of arrows with psn to spawn the agony cralwer in a pure minion build. Would like to try this out :) Also! Lot's of crafting. seems fun!

Hey, I am still no sure if I start with ED or Scourge Arrow.
ED is cheap to start, yeah, but without investment you can forget about atlas progression or not? Don't you need at least a 5link or 6link Cane of Unravelling if you want to do red maps? Just trying to figure out what to do, as eveyrone says ED is the best and so cheap and bla bla, but i wonder how far it actually gets you without investment?

Greetings

BTW, Scourge Arrow is a dream, try it at some point, even if you dont start with it.
If I use Thread of Hope to save points and get the 4 notables, do you have any recommendations on where to spend those points? I'm using the Divine Flesh Tree. Thank you for this build!

Edit : nvm, i guess I would just work on the rest of the tree. there is no way I'll hit 100 anyway.

I've only done ED + contagion as a second char, not a league starter. So im not sure if it's cheap or viable as a start char actually. You can take a look at my profile if you want some inspiration. The char should be there. I'm leveling this SA build right now. It takes some getting used to with SA being a channeled skill, but not a moveable one like cyclone
Bex confirmed like 10 days ago on reddit that the notables on cluster jewels do indeed stack. So yes, going off of that, we should be able to have 3 or more Low Tolerances.
I changed some stuff and ended up like this build:



Also has Golden Rule and Watcher's eye with unaffected by Bleed + Soul of Shakari for poison immunity. Since i maxed out chaos resistance, i dont need "unaffected by poison".

%90 armour resistance. 3 easily generated Endurance charges which translates another %12 physical dmg resistance and some overcap ele resists. %25 from Darkscorn, %13 from Arctic Armour and %6 from solaris. 6 Frenzy Charges which also gives armour too.

Vaal Molten Shell for more defense too.

Sirus at A8 zero problem. Uber Elder is joke. The only downside is the damage is NOT that min maxed. If you were kill sirus in 2 minutes normally, killing him with this setup adds 30 secs on top of that. Really i dont care since its safer than dodge build.

And here is my tree:

I'll add Thread of Hope to gain 9 free passive points once i reach lvl 93 to cover poison damage and life. Also negative resists from jewel.

An even more defense can be added with Avian Twins Talismans. We already convert %50 elemental damage to chaos and select one elemental resistance you were weak and put avian twins talisman for that. Like if you are lack of Fire resist but has much more lightning, add % 50 Fire damage taken as Lightning to completely avoid having Fire resist at all because your chaos and lightning damage will cover that.
