Pathfinder Poison Explosion Build

This is a build relying entirely on poisons.

We apply poisons via Poisonburst Arrow and Toxic Growth. They go boom, poison spreads itself via Contagious Contamination and we pick up loot.

Why Pathfinder? It sucks, no?

Pathfinder is probably the most underrated ascendency in the game. Not only is it the only true poison ascendency, but it also has access to absolute gems when it comes to ascendency points.

To name a few, we have Relentless Pursuit which you can run on any chilled ground or temporal chains maps to become immune to slows, or you can use Sustainable Practices to get upwards of 70 % damage reduction against elemental hits. Overall, just one hell of an ascendency.

Mapping:

Press Poisonburst Arrow as often as possibly. Toxic Growth on rough elites or when needed.

During rituals, you can drop a Tornado Shot for extra clear.

Bossing:

Jump off your Rhoa and activate weapon set 2. Here, you want to have Blasphemy on weapon set 2 to reduce the boss chaos resistance.

Then, drop down 2x Vine Arrow on top of the boss along with a Tornado Shot. Then, you alternate between using Poisonburst Arrow and Toxic Growth.

1x Poisonburst Arrow -> 1 Toxic Growth -> repeat.

You scale your poison damage via Physical and Chaos damage. The calculation takes your Hit physical and chaos damage, then transforms both of them into its own multiplier (Poison = another type of chaos damage). To understand more, read this: https://poe2db.tw/us/Poison

Since everyone wants lightning damage everywhere, you now have a cheap way to scale your damage. Because another man's bricked items, are your top tier items.
