Could be the case of the Ascendancy suffering from lack of item types and skills right now. Warrior also has mechanics like Rage which seem kinda redundant for a class type that has very slow attacks.

Same with Witch Blood Mage which gives you crit and dying monsters give health orbs, the whole idea sounds like it would work with some type of dagger skill better than wand skill but we don't have Daggers in the game right now.

I thought about GGG being careful with poison buffs because of future content that will make those buffs to be overpowered in future. But in reality I don't think that tweaking poison numbers for a current patch would make some irreversible changes that would somehow powercreep future updates.

Attending missing item types and skills I don't think that is a good reason to not attend current skills and scaling. Because poison bow and crossbow skills are already there and they lack of usability. I am currently considering just rolling lightning damage with plaguebearer and compare numbers to classic poison build.

I'm concerned that the upcoming changes to the exposure support gem suite further invalidates the choice to be a pathfinder. Easy access to an ability that applies exposure seemed to be one of the best reasons to pick pathfinder. Now that the exposure support gems are losing the damage penalty I'm wondering what reasons I or anyone else has for playing pathfinder over deadeye.

I'm coming back after concotions buff. I tried both pconc and fulminating and they are both good. Not crazy good but still very solid. Pconc dps wise probably can be compared to gas arrow. Charges sustain are pretty easy now and achieved with good belt with reduced charges used. Sad they prefered to go level scaling route for concotion damage scaling. Added damage still adds nothing considering how small number are available on rings and quiver. Btw half of supports are not working with fulminating (conc effect and WED) despite being recommended by GGG themselves to socket. And quiver ~bow attacks damage are still working on concotions. Also still no quality.
