Hey guys, KallTorak here! I'm an Off-Meta creator with an affinity for silly goose time builds! This is my Potion Parry Pathfinder for leveling & end game.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Uses Shattering Concoction and Hollow Palm Technique so we don't need a weapon. Makes the cost for this build slightly cheaper.
High mobility due to Shattering Palm. This also helps make up for the lack of AoE clear that Shattering Concoction has with not working with heralds.
Parry got buffed this patch. Still a little clunky but gives us a massive damage increase. Allows us to scale Shattering Concoction with Sunsplinter (level: 3 cold, 1 fire, 2 lightning)

Gear dependent. Using an expensive lineage support gem Garukhan's Resolve. You can clear without this but if you want giga boss dps you need this to scale our damage.
Shattering Concoction using your flask charges. Managing this in the early to mid game can be a pain.
Parry is very awkward and buggy at times. It's hit or miss whether you can actually parry a skill. You will die a lot learning what you can and can't parry.
Cheap to get into red maps but when scaling to T3 content it becomes expensive.

Build Variants

Level 22 EARLY START

Level 41 Start

End Game

I DO NOT RECOMMEND SWAPPING TO FULL CONCOCTION AT THIS LEVEL.

I would level as lightning arrow until you get Shattering Palm and Hand of Chayula. You will need Lightning Arrow and Lightning Rod to dps some bosses in the early acts. I was consistently running out of flask charges until around level 40. Your flask sustain won't be good enough this early but if you wanna force it expect to be standing around waiting for flask to recharge on bosses.

+11

Birthright Buckle - Great for Shattering Concoction making us sustain flasks easier during the campaign.

Crown of the Victor - +1 level for Shattering Concoction

Dunkelhalt - Actually pretty awesome for leveling since it makes the magnitude of Parry debuff bigger. Replaced before maps.

Rings - Adds Cold Damage to Attacks > Cold Damage % > Evasion Rating > Maximum life > Adds Physical/Fire/Lightning to attacks > Resistances

Amulet - + Projectile Skills and + Crit Hit Chance.

Gem Priority

+12

Shattering Concoction gets more support gem slots as you level it. You won't get the final slot until level 90.

Herald of Ice DOES NOT WORK WITH Shattering Concoction. However it scales our damage with Coming Calamity which we are taking soon.

set 1:

set 2:

You only use this setup for the early game. Eventually your flask sustain is much better for Shattering Concoction. For early game you will need these passives, Arcane Mixtures annointed, and Birthright Buckle.

Since we are pathfinder get the minimum amount of attribute nodes you can while still being able to use your gems and gear. The rest of your passives should be 5% increased damage.
