I love PBA and I’ve been building around it since Day 1. Just found you this morning but it’s crazy how similar our build concepts are.

poison damage scales from physical damage, passive nodes, gear levels and gem levels. it will take 20% from the hit you give. the confusing thing in this game is that poison damage counts as chaos damage but investing into chaos damage won't scale it. not sure if this is right: poison will scale with chaos if the arrow hit has more chaos damage than physical damage on the hit with a chaos bow for example. then it will scale from the chaos damage.
The chaos nodes at the top give us added chaos damage on top of our phys damage so it does in fact scale the poison since poisons are based off 20% of ur phys AND chaos hit.
i think you are right. The passive nodes with extra chaos damage do not scale with poison damage allthough poison does chaos damage. it only counts if your initial hit does chaos damage, but in this case it does not. You are only doing physical damage which 20% scale with poison damage. It is very confusing but there is a video which is called "How poison scales in poe2" where it is explained better.
@Jungewasweisich Extra as X (in this case chaos) is part of the hit. It counts. %Increases or %reductions to chaos damage is what doesnt scale poison. Add flat chaos to the hit and it counts as it is part of the hit. Increase chaos damage by %inc modifiers doesnt. After playing a poison character it isnt that complicated really. Unintuitive for sure tho', as the poison *is* chaos damage.
Just wanted to update you on taking the chaos damage perks, you will only able to deal chaos damage if the initial hit is doing chaos damage. So you either need chaos infusion on your gas arrow/posionburst arrow OR you can use the Chaos type bow Cultist Bow to make use of the chaos damage passives. Having them set as you have it does not give you any sort of increase. Hope this helps!
The nodes at the top give us added chaos damage which does give us damage. Coupled with the cluster we take for the +1 chaos levels we do scale it slightly. However you can drop those nodes at the top for more defensives if you find yourself dying too much.
@@RedRazor7 he's right though, poison scales off the base hit even if it says it does chaos damage. Those nodes are only gonna increase the damage if you somehow add chaos damage to your attack (poison burst is pure physical)
@ and literally as I said in my response, we get chaos damage on hit from the tree. Which in turn does get scaled by those nodes. Please go read the chaos nodes at the top. And as I said if you don’t want the extra damage you can take those points and put them into defensives as they’re not mandatory. Either way we take the +1 cluster because gem scaling is the best form of dps scaling in the game atm
Im amaze how some people build like this instead of using exploit build now like poisonous concoctikn. Im using the same build right now i just need to adjust some skills and was able to finished act 3 at level 40+ =) im running full poison build will add this poisonous arrow for my build
Hi, Finally a poison build like I hoped to see. By the way, did you manage to beat the pinnacle boss? I can't wait to see your step-by-step guide to doing it :D.
@@RedRazor7 agreed :). Anyway, can't wait to see the rest of this build and other builds if you have any in mind :D. I'm also thinking, on mobalytics, could you just add the gems on your profile if possible?
Oh man youre right i forgot to put that in there! % from quiver, magnitude from poisons/damaging ailments, then other damage mods like attack speed, attack damage etc. I will put a link in the description to the trade website with a search query setup for people!
Game says that magnify effect is not supported by plague bearer. On controller's interface (not m&k) it marks it as red cross. But I can still place it in the socket so it is not completely incompatible. There is not much more about this skill but the burst, so either it should be socketable or not. Same goes for wind wave actually. Have you seen wind wave being triggered?
Wind wave procs very rarely due to the fact it only procs when stunned. It has happened a few times but not very frequently. I threw it in there just to help on those rare cases since casting it slows you down a ton
I think the choas nodes arent worth it. Poison from ranger is more affected from physical damage. Its probably better to get attack damage and critical nodes.
@@khalidbilal87 go check out my most recent video, with the buff to the concoction skills I had to make a build with it! It’s originally why I went pathfinder :)
I've just recently heard that amulets can give you free passives if you combine right essenses or smthn. Which begs to question, could one start upgrading from said passive provided by the amulet as long as it's equipped?
That is from a mechanic called delirium which is end game content. You can get 1 passive from the skill tree yes but you wont be able to access that till after the campaign
The amulets just give one notable passive, you cannot allocate further from it... However, there is a jewel that allows you to allocate passives from whatever passive is on it...
@@zackeryauzbournebrinkley6945 gas arrow is great for zoning where as pba has pierce/impact damage from the arrow itself. I can apply poisons faster and on more mobs with pba. Gas arrow keeps poison stacks on bosses much easier. I use both depending on the situation and I won’t say one is better than the other as they both have their pros and cons.
There are unique boots with " physical damage pins" and pin is a feenzy generator. Basic hit, poison burst, rain, spiral, they all generate pin freezies. My survivability went way up since i have found them.
There’s a unique ring we can pick up that gives mana on hit, or we can swap out scatter shot for inspiration for pinnacle bosses since we don’t need the spread. Mana isn’t that bad and I have +7 level to my gems through all my gear. I need an upgrade to my mana on kill modifier, if you notice I go to full mana after after a pack. During maps i use Gas arrow to keep poisons applied and supplement the PBA to hit 8 while running around
Well pushed !! For me the adventure of the campaign was great ! But doing it again, on 'harder' mode, mehh, could've just sent us to maps already. And even then, it gets weird story wise, there is like little way around it, it's rinse and repeat. Of course I get the immense work needed to make more content down the line, but plain farming feels redundant to me on the game play. But exploring the build diversities is super interesting in the concept of the game, it's huge, diversified and of course, hard to direct from their side. Until some fancy AI generator can eventually make on the go an ever lasting generated story and levels and whatnot to keep things original all along the way, it's bound to be very repetitive :! I miss the old End Title screens of games when you could just turn around and say 'there, I've done that one, let's move on' :P
Ahahah yes this build is mostly intended for mapping due to that fact. Killing a pack does bring us up to full and prepares us to nuke the next set of mobs. Unfortunately there’s no realistic way to get mana on hit except from one unique ring atm I’m not sure if GGG intends to add that later as there is life on hit. If it does get added it will mitigate some of that yoyoing
However we do have extra chaos damage gain on hit with the points at the top which does get scaled which then shouldd scale the poison. It might be worth to move those points elsewhere at the very top into just flat attack damage. Either way we do take the ones in the middle to get the +1 chaos as that in itself gives a ton of damage to our skills.
From what I understand, Poison moves scale with Chaos damage (in that, if you do chaos damage, it's damage will go up), but doesn't do Chaos Damage themselves (not including Vine Arrow). Therefore, if you're using a Physical bow and quiver, those +% Chaos Damage nodes are only affecting the chaos damage added by Pure Chaos. I think those other nodes with the +1 Chaos Skills at the end are really only worth taking if you're using a Cultist Bow or maybe Despair/Contagion.
@@TridentBE right now most builds get a lot of damage from gem level scaling. So the cluster that gives +1 is a lot of value if you have a lot of + levels elsewhere combo with the node we take at the top the added damage as chaos gets scaled so we do get chaos damage on our hits and it does get scaled by these nodes. Cultist bows are bait as there is no chaos mods to roll and tbh they’re best is used as ele bows but most ele bows will go dualstring cuz of the +1 arrow. Unfortunately until they add chaos mods to bow the cultist bow is easily the worst one in the game.
@@RedRazor7 That's fair. I can understand wanting to grab the +1 Chaos just so all of the moves increase in level. I disagree that the Cultist Bow is the worst in the game, though ... especially if we're talking about Poison Damage. I'm currently using a Dualstring Bow for the additional projectile but, if you roll "Added Physical Damage" and "% Increased Physical Damage," you get the benefit of both physical and chaos damage. In those instances, the base damage on the bow can benefit from all of the 72% increased Chaos Damage that you're picking up in the passive tree and THAT damage would go towards your poisons and change the DPS values.
@@beltizad I have a video on pconc. Plus qotf is not a very cheap item. Most casual players will not be able to afford it without hour and hours of farming. This builds only con for mana is end game bosses which will be solved when they add more attainable mana on hit into the game. You might have more single target dps as well, but pba has a much higher aoe clear potential than pconc just because of the way the two skills work
i hope the 4k views was worth ruining the build for all us poison enjoyers... another one that will get deleted by GGG due to overhype. its not even OP but it looks fun and thats not allowed
