Pconc of Bouncing ENDGAME GUIDE - Perma Chaos Explode Variant

If you’ve been running PCONC this league — this is the guide you’ve been waiting for.

This is hands-down my favorite version of Poisonous Concoction I’ve ever played:

• Chaos explosions
• Tri-curse nukes for massive single-target burst
• Defences so crazy I stopped reading T17 map mods

This written guide compiles everything from my endgame setup — focused entirely on improving your character at any budget level.

You can apply upgrades one by one, from mid-league builds to full giga setups.

The goal isn’t just to copy my gear — it’s to give you a complete toolkit for taking your Pathfinder to the next level.

⚔️ Build Overview

💥 Clear Speed

• Permanent chaos explosions scaled heavily through the passive tree.
• Pathfinder’s innate proliferation spreads these explosions across the screen, creating one of the smoothest mapping experiences possible.
• Pathfinder has never felt better for fast clear mapping.

🎯 Single Target

• Completely reworked for 3.27 using a tri-curse Arcanist Brand setup.
• Applies Despair, Temporal Chains, and Punishment.
• Acts as a “nuke button” for tanky map bosses or T17 monsters.
• In normal gameplay, the chaos explosions alone handle 99% of content.

🛡️ Defensive Overview

This version of PCONC is extremely durable, capable of handling every T17 mod combination with minimal deaths.
Not deathless every time — but definitely not burning all six portals either.

🧱 Core Defensive Layers

• Flasks: Progenesis + Tides of Time — unmatched survivability for Pathfinder.
• • Budget option: Taste of Hate (next best, nearly free).
• Evasion Cap: 95% with Vaal Grace active. Always use it preemptively during tough situations.
• Flesh and Stone: Reduces incoming damage.
• Doppelgänger Guise: Reduces phys hit damage drastically and provides DoT protection.
• Spell Suppression Cap: 100%.
• Endurance Charges: Passive mitigation against physical spikes.
• Layered Avoidance: Stack of multiple mitigation types for high consistency.

🧩 Map Mod Filters

• Use Twitch chat commands:
• • !T17 → filters dangerous T17 modifiers
  • !regex → filters standard T16 modifiers
• This regex setup helps maintain efficiency and safety in endgame farming.

Flask Crafting Tech

Flasks are the backbone of any Pathfinder build.
A perfect flask setup can double your effective EHP.

Tips:

1. Always start with high-quality (26+ quality, uncorrupted bases, ilvl 81+)
2. Alt spam for Saturated prefix, modifier
3. For the ultimate flask (>30 quality), corrupt your flask to randomly gain or lose up to 10% quality
4. 1. *note that you will likely have to try at least a few times before you end up with a great result

Tri-Curse Setup Tech

Your single-target powerhouse and hidden defensive tool.

• Triggered automatically through Arcanist Brand.
• Applies:
• • Despair → boosts chaos DoT damage.
  • Temporal Chains → extends poison duration.
  • Punishment→ reduces enemy damage.
• Hands-free setup: click once, pre-load curses, and throw flasks freely.
• Roughly doubles your single-target DPS.

Breach Graft Tech

(Leverages 3.27 League Mechanic)

Graft 1: 'Preserving Stillness' Tulgraft

• Trigger Exposure to activate massive defensive upside.
• Suppress Mastery -> Triggers exposure on taking a spell hit

Graft 2: 'Tender Embrace' Uulgraft

• Focus on one with 'damage over time multiplier' passive for massive dps upside
• Can also get '% max life' passive for a defensive upside

Brutal Restraint Timeless Jewel

Brutal Restraint (Asenath Dance with Death)

• Search for jewels that provide Onslaught on Kill and Alchemist Genius.
• The seed # is what dictates if we will get these effects of not
• Test seeds in Path of Building — 5 minutes of testing can yield massive value.
• There is a timestamp in the video guide that walks through exactly how to find an appropriate timeless jewel seed for our build.

The core mechanic that defines this version of PCONC.

Video guide that explains how to set this up for permanent uptime with a shield weapon swap.
