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

I discovered that Thiefs Torment goes well with the build.

How do you reach 100% poison chanche?

Its decent for leveling I guess, but we do not hit that fast later on (because of the channel, there is always a pause) so its not that good.

50% on tree, 20% HoAG, 30% flask

I played a similar build but with a different bow in HC.
isnt a bow like that better ?

Nope, it is actually a lot worse than Darkscorn. Darkscorn got really buffed in 3.7, so now it is really hard to outmatch it for poison builds.

The attack speed, together with high flat phys, conversion to chaos and basically 60% more damage with poison is too good.

Based on PoB, compared to Darkscorn, that bow in that poe.ninja build results in 23% less damage.

Small update:

- Added alternative Body armour skill gem setup for Frenzy + Curse on Hit + Despair, what should be used before obtaining Maloney's Mechanism quiver
- Changed Point Blank keystone for Wild Dancer setup to Perfect Agony keystone to utilize the timeless jewel more (as it reaches also Revenge of the Hunted notable for possible extra damage with poison, good mods are Poisons you inflict deal Damage 10% faster, 20% increased Damage with Poison, 8% increased Effect of Flasks on you, and for the defensive ones, increased life, increased movement speed, increased evasion).

Main post is already updated with new PoB pastebin, and also with info about new body skill gem setup.

Builds looks really fun thedeathbeam! I was using your other guide with SA but this look great too. Got a question!

Is it possible to use Caustic Arrow too?

Hi. Thanks, it really is! :d

Well, it is possible, but Caustic Arrow is not very good poison skill, so it will be pretty weak. It is good on this build mostly until level 12. If you want to try different skills, you can play with Toxic Rain, Rain of Arrows, possibly Barrage, but from what i've tested, Toxic Rain and Scourge Arrow are best.

How are you having mobs perma blinded in your setup? Just from 5% chance to blind on quiver?

Yeah, with Mirage Archer and SA hits it should be enough. You can also always go with additional blind jewel to make it more reliable
