Build Overview

Variation of my Melee Chronomancer build
Also similar setup on Lich

This build is example of using 75% Slower Expire rate of Buffs with The Hammer of Faith that now grant Shrine Buffs for 80 Seconds instead of 20 Seconds.
While you can make use of this tech in your Pathfinder build if you use Headhunter, that will last over 2 Minutes

Benefits of using this tech on Pathfinder compare Lich or Chrono

Traveller's Wisdom allow to get 5% Damage or 5% ES on attribute passives
6 More Passive points from Path Seeker
Flexible Boots slot because we get Slow Immunity from Relentless Pursuit
Running Assault allow to Sprint more safely

To get to 75% Slower Expire Rate Cap:

Build reaches 65% Slower Expire Rate of any Effects from Temporal Chains
Remaining 10% Slower Expire rate only for Buffs from Lasting Boons or Prolonged Assault

How build get 65% Slower Expire Rate of any Effects from Temporal Chains:

Heightened Curse
Any Focus with 16% Curse Magnitude
Master of Hexes
Zone of Control
3 Small Passives before Decrepifying Curse
3 Small Passives before Impending Doom
Shackles of the Wretched with 20% Curse Magnitude and Snake Idol
3 Jewels with 4% Curse Magnitude
In total all this give us 161% Curse Magnitude, then 25% Slower Expire + 161% = 65.25% Slower Expire
You can push it above 161% Curse Magnitude if you really want to use Headhunter to make it last as long as possible.
Not sure it's possible to reach 200% Curse Magnitude to make Temporal Chains provide 75% Slower Expire Rate for any Effects.

What works specifically with Slower Expire Rate from Temporal Chains, but doesn't work with Slower Expire rate of Buffs:

Main use of this tech is of course Headhunter, mods you get from Rares not count as Buffs, so only way to make it expire slower is Temporal Chains.
At 65% Slower Expire Rate, Headhunter buffs will last ~2min 10 sec.
Einhar's Beastrite, same as headhunter, at 65% Slower Expire will last ~14 min.
And any Skills or Supports that provide Effects that appear on top left part of Screen that aren't buffs.

And for Buffs you reach 75% Slower Expire Rate cap, which means any buffs will last 4 times a long

Strengths and Weaknesses

4 times longer Buffs
Over 2 times longer duration of Headhunter stacks

Equipment

The Hammer of Faith grant Shrine Buffs for 80 Seconds, including Divine Shrine which grant immortaliy

When you swap out from The Hammer of Faith all shrine buffs disappear, so you have to use Cospri's Will to make Temporal Chains have infinite duration, so you only need to use it once per area

Astramentis is great solution to fix all attribute requirements, and with Traveller's Wisdom you can get decent chunk of Damage or/and Energy Shield

Shackles of the Wretched with 20% Curse Magnitude + Snake Idol

Soul Tether with no "Lose 5% ES" mod, to get ES leech

Blackflame seems decent for Perfect Strike because we can use Xoph's Pyre and get free Withering Presence
