Pathfinder Poison Bama Summoner ~ no Spectres & no damage charms ~ Path of Exile 3.23

► Yooooooooo, Exiles!

This is my Bombarding Blink Arrow Poison Flaskfinder. No Spectres, no Culling Strike, no damage from Charms.

Prepping BAMAs for next league. Turns out, its quite hard to replace flat damage thats worth multiple lvl 40 Wrath auras.

Poison BAMA never had good offensive Spectres to begin with and this didn't change this league. Using my previous PF setup but with a Covenant, I came up with a version that does not rely on Affliction content. I did not push very far and there is still alot to min/max. I am currently still missing my last Adorned jewel. I also didn't push max damage on my bow and instead went with a QoL trigger craft. This is on a similiar level as Crucible Poison Bama with Return Proj, but with only 3 clones.

The playstyle is quite relaxing overall. Poison Bama does not rely on Fresh Meat and its much closer to a an actual totem build. The clones last ~37 seconds in my current config and you don't need to replace them ( I still do, stupid muscle memory). Once summoned, you can in theory just run circles for half a minute.

Clones also heal 100% of their life per second if you press your life flask, which is kinda funny.

This PF is quite weak against physical damage, so you still need to be careful not to eat too many phys hits. It can tank Uber Elder Rings and an Uber Shaper Slam. Thats about what I can achieve using a Covenant without Determination. Darkscorn is a decent low budget option both offensively and defensively. There might be better setups, but this works for me. Deathless 96-98 (currently), since the swap from Lightning PF, doing Ubers and WP T16 Wisp farming.

My charms are whatever. Profane Bloom is not needed.

► PoB: https://pobb.in/Tuc9vjcmh3DE (used in the video, not min/maxed, Bloodnotch setup is an option)

► Bow craft:

• I didn't know what I wanted to craft exactly, so I went with a Thicket Bow which had the multicraft enchant. Its not necessary but makes it easier and cheaper. I paid 8 div for the base.
• If you go the same route, slap a conq exalt on it and reroll influence with harvest till elder.
• With an Elder Bow - Feared Essence Spam until t1-t2 poison dot multi. Yolo annull the 3. Prefix. You need one open Prefix and one open Suffix.
• Welcome to the annoying part. Craft Prefix cannot be changed and reforge chaos and hope you get flat chaos on the Prefix. There are quite a few chaos mods on the Suffixes. Worst case you get a chaos Suffix and the Prefix gets filled up. In this case yolo annull, if brick go back to Essence spam. Took me 5 tries to get this, luckily no bricks.
• Prefixes are done.
• If you have the multicraft enchant, craft Prefix cannot be changed and Aisling. Block with Charge bench craft, and look for minion speed, attack speed, dot multi or trigger. Finish the bow with 2 benchcrafts. Replace heist enchant with harvest enchant.
• If you dont have the multicraft enchant, craft Prefix cannot be changed and reforge speed and pray. Repeat till decent attack speed roll, either Elder or regular. Craft Prefix cannot be changed and Aisling 50/50. Finish with benchcraft.

► Helmet and Gloves craft:

• Same idea for both, assuming fractured Prefix.
• I needed one essence int mod and one essence mana reservation mod while getting chaos res and spell supp. Use pure evasion bases for higher weighting on spell supp.
• Spam Spite/Loathing essences until atleast t2 spell supp.
• You need one open suffix and one open prefix.
• Craft Suffix cannot be changed and Harvest reforge Chaos to get chaos res on the Suffixes. Repeat until you hit enough chaos res to cap.
• Eldritch craft life on the Prefixes and finish with bench.

► Rings:

• Fractured Minion Damage.
• Bound Fossil combo for Suffixes, depending on what you need Minion Life/Res etc.
• You need one open Prefix. Craft Suffix cannot be changed and Aisling/Veiled Chaos and look for a life mod.
• Finish with benchcraft.
