Elemental Gas Arrow Poison Pathfinder [Tanky / Bossing / Simu / Mapping / All Content Viable] 0.1.1c

After being stubborn for a while, I'm convinced I need to convert my build to use those gloves. I am at like 1/3 of your dmg and thought I was doing alright. Gotta start with ingenuity and work on finding a way to keep my resists right. Altho considering I gotta replace quiver, both rings, the belt, probably my bow... Maybe I'll take your advice re chest and helmet too and replace them, gives me lots of avenues to fix resists I suppose.

Gonna cost a lot but probably less than a bow upgrade, and without it idk how I can scale my dmg much further. I've been climbing my dps but by bit but it's just incremental whereas this feels like it's kind of blow open my options for a while so I could hit some legit numbers.

Step 1 ingenuity. I may post my current pob just to have something to compare to in a week assuming I go thru with this. Can't think of a better option.

also your gems are nuts, I have barely been able to find double magnitude and certainly not that I was able to afford at the time. I've been happy to find 1 magnitude + faster ailments + projectile/etc dmg

have you tried mings? Be curious to know the damage with it. Also for your weapon swap, do the bow stats matter?

Yeah, I've collected them over a while. Almost all of these were bought low roll and then manually divined to where I have them now.

Both of these questions are answered in the main post

Testing just a new quiver with the gloves and doing some quick math on just a 66% ingenuity and damn...you can squeeze so much more out of your rings it's nuts hah, definitely gonna finish up re gearing this weekend. Thanks for this thread, I tried hard to ignore the elwmtnal damage gloves but this is immediately beneficial. And with ingenuity it's not that hard to get your resists right. Biggest choice now is of I can accept the big drop in life and es from rings and gloves (my gloves have like 200 es which I'll miss for sure, and each ring with 100+ life and my belt as well) or if I need to pass on one dmg roll for life on the rings. And then maybe get a new amulet again to look for a flat + % es roll combo to try and make up what I lost. I don't have huge survivability but getting to about 6.5k with Grim feast helped me survive a lot I was dying to before.

We'll see how tomorrow goes.

You try crit at all, it seems to work for me, but there are aspects of it that are awkward. Have 2.5mil PoB dps on like an 50-80 div budget. I think it'd be multitudes more consistent and comfortable with a dualstring with +2 arrows mod and like 40% total crit, shit do be getting expensive tho.

I'm not entirely sure going into crit is entirely worth but it's not a bad experiment. You seem to be doing the same damage without relying on RNG, although on closer inspection I think you are a lot deeper into investment than me haha.

Yeah, it seems to be BiS for extremely high budget. I actually did test how far I could push Gas Arrow, and crit was the way: https://pobb.in/D76U4QTgXqEq

80/80/80/75 res
5k es
90% evasion
50m dps

ps. don’t attempt to follow the crit build in this post unless you have 100 mirrors. it’s purely a theoretical concept. the main non-crit build is more practical

Hi, thanks for this guide, I love gas arrow, and this is the best guide I've found for the real end game.
I'd like to study it carefully but I'm having trouble getting po2 to work. Is it possible to consult the guide on some other platform? Maybe you had uploaded an early version of the build to mobalytics?
Thank you.

18 ish divine later, new belt, gloves, 2 rings, and amulet. better resists (90+ whereas before some were in the 80s), a bit less survivability (maybe 10% health lost) and over 50% dps increase. massive.

thanks again.

and to note, first boss kill dropped a divine.

I've been sitting on multiple breach stone, simulacrum, and available citadel til I had a breakthrough of some kind. Now we have this and I'm off tomorrow. Let's hope for some success.


edit - do you know if the extra hit damage from the 'wasting' node increases gas arrow damage? I'd think no but I want to ask. PoB seems to think it will make a difference.

edit 2 - HOLY MOLY I didn't think primal armament would do so much. a lesser, cheaper bow just brought me to fully 100% increased dps over my raw phys bow. wow!!

Would be awesome to have a fully fleshed out build guide. Either way, thank for sharing all this info here. I just got level 30 and am looking forward to coming close to this build you’ve got, looks awesome.
