Build Overview

This is a fast, tanky poison bow build that has amazing clear speed and enormous single-target damage. It is league-startable and can use the 1 Chaos unique Slivertongue all the way up to Tier 15 maps. You can also use Voltaxic Rift, as well.

How This Build Scales Damage:

There are a lot of ways to scale damage with a poison build!

Below is a complete list of all primary damage scaling methods available.

High physical damage (bow)
Damage with bow skills (quiver)
Added physical damage to attacks (quiver/rings/gloves)
Skill gem levels (skill gems/amulet/bow/quiver)
Increased poison stacks
Poison magnitude/Ailment magnitude/Damaging ailment magnitude (all three of these stats are different, and they all stack!)
Crit chance
Crit damage bonus
Poison duration
Poison deals damage faster
Shock (increases enemy damage taken)
Added chaos damage to attacks (rings/bows, very rare)
Increased attack damage
Increased physical damage
Increased projectile damage

Below is a list of mods that don't help with damage, and should not be prioritized.

Added elemental damage (unless using Plaguefinger)
Attack speed (feels good, but doesn't add damage)
Chance to poison (Poisonburst Arrow, Toxic Growth, etc. already have 100%)
Increased chaos damage (only works with direct damage, not poison)

IMPORTANT: Make sure all of your poison skills are set to Weapon Set 2. Poisonburst Arrow uses Rigwald's Ferocity to gain 30% More Damage, which only works in Weapon Set 2.

How to Clear Maps:

Press Poisonburst Arrow. Everything dies. Loot.

How to Kill Bosses:

Cast Gas Arrow. Fire Toxic Growth into the gas cloud until it dissipates. Use Gas Arrow again and continue casting Toxic Growth.

To apply a +70% Shock, shoot the boss with Stormcaller Arrow, that's it. The shock will last for roughly 30 seconds, which is more than enough to kill any boss.
