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.

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.

Leveling:

You can find a leveling setup for this build here: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/poisonburst-arrow-pathfinder-leveling

Gain 2% of Mana on Kill on Sapphire Jewels helps, too.

  • Act 4: Life Flask
  • Intermissions: 15% Global Defences
