Burning Arrow Poison Ballista PF 3.25

~ Hello I am Smug ~ **** This is probably not a starter for most people, just a fun thing i cooked up over a few leagues since the Buff to Voltaxic Rift **** This is a Burning Arrow Variation of my Lightning Arrow Poison Totem Build ~~That build utilizes Voltaxic Rift and Lightning scaling ~~~This season (3.25) offers Returning proj on an enchant. ~~~~This seemed like it would be more fun :) (Can even put ignite prolif on gloves for more fun!!!) ~~~~~BA should do more damage than LA in delirium Content ~~~~~~(Mostly for fun mapping can do non uber bosses, but dont let me stop you from trying) Some of the listed gear is stuff i made / traded for in 3.24, it is attainable but tight on Attribute/Resistance requirements ~~if you can solve them otherways, that can free up several +30 nodes for Strength / Intelligence The option to play this as LA Exists and just basically means swapping Everything to Lightning scaling and finding an alternative ring Here is the POB for the LA version (Its less tanky) https://pobb.in/eMw05HkDTaDZ (delete the ^ and 7 if you copy paste) IF the boot+Neck interaction does not work, you MUST equip Voltaxic Rift For this to function and then have to play LA version ==============Leveling============== Most likely level as Caustic arrow, or Toxic rain. ~~Can do Poison Caustic arrow with ballista's =============Lab Order============= Normal Lab ~~Nature's Reprisal Cruel Lab ~~Master Toxicist Merc Lab ~~Nature's Adrenaline Uber Lab ~~Master Surgeon ==============Projectiles============== 12/36 proj should always hit, 3 proj per totem ~ 1 going out, 1 going in per totem (6 totems) ~ other 2 proj should converge if close enough ~ added 4 extra proj for some low variance in skill section (16 total proj-ish on arrow skill) ============Expensive stuff============ --Maybe Auls Necklace (There is now a div card) --Bow with +2 Proj (Use the Multishot and Master Fletcher nodes before this) --Progenisis (Can get away with basically any flask until this) --Unnattural Instinct --Polaric Devastation (More of an end goal) Rare rings work fine this is for ignite damage before the 3 hits to activate poison and bonus poison duration in all scenarios --Light of Meaning (Fire damage) --Enlighten --Empower (Really dont need this but it buffs anger and vaal haste) ============Other Stuff============= Armour and evasion mastery is to counter automated Blood Rage life drain ~~(This is not needed, but is nice QOL to have it up even without pressing flask) ~~only use Vaal Haste, DO NOT reserve Haste ~~Can remove Piercing Shots Node on the tree, and swap pierce to Gloves to save points If you find that trade off valuable ~~ MARRIONETTES SPECTRES ~~~If they all die.. just recast Malev again as if it was old Blessing ~~~~Elemental Army helps with the pre-poison damage from Ignite =======Swap to Burning arrow======= Once you have Inextricable Fate boots - annoint Vinespike Cordial - press life flask to apply vines with totems (presumably) - now no longer need poison nodes/chance to poison - unless you want QOL before the 3 hits (I kept Dendrobate on for this and the other damage bonus')
