[3.25] Scourge Arrow Poison Prolif Pathfinder - Fast, tanky, fun to play

Is this build viable as a league starter? I tried it last league and it was very fun. But it was not my league starter and had a lot of the recommended items before i tried it :)

Shouldn't we put HoA in the gloves instead of wither totems in order to utilize the Vile Toxins support?

Definitely, poison requires very low investment, and for leveling you can just use Toxic Rain (as outlined in the main post) what with pathfinder is simply great.

Hi. No, our HoAG is not source of damage, its just to buff our poisons and linking it to gloves increases its mana reservation and then we would not be able to fit our other auras.

Ahh - that makes sense, thanks. So it's really just the Poison Duration mod that makes Embalmer BiS? (over something like elder +dmg w/poison or +36% AS while focussed)

Poison duration and flat chaos damage is something that is hard to beat on them yeah.

So death opus is the best bow for Scourge Arrow before Darkscorn? Because darkscorn is from legion league and right now only 1 is listed in poe.trade and cost 8 exalts.

Nope, its just alright unique. For bow, you can craft decent one with Aberrant and Corroded fossils (just look for Delve 60% chance to 100% more mod for poison and added chaos damage + maybe attack speed) and then craft +40% chaos damage over time multiplier from bench on it (and use Thicket Bow as base)

Thanks for the crafting advise! But yes darkscorn is exclusive from legion since 3.7. Check de wiki https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Darkscorn of course in 1 week or so should be more avaiable and less expensive (i hope xD)

EDIT: I think my english is worst than i think xD When you say is an alright unique you mean the death opus of course, im idiot and i was undestanding other thing, sorry xD

Yea, that is kind of importent info, when it says its easy as fuck to play. WHen its for the 3.7 version and not for 3.8 that its screams that it still is.

The build is updated for 3.8, Darkscorn being rarer is something I mentioned multiple times before (and something that I was expecting to happen after legion will be moved to core anyway), and also alternatives for it for league start so I would say in that aspect, everything is fine, and with the nacdot -> cdot changes its now easier than ever before to make great poison bow.
