PoE 3.23 Affliction Master Surgeon, Pathfinder builds

Looking for some upgrades/improvements. Playing ssf and collected some gear which I threw together. Still have to craft some of the rare armour and jewellery but everything else is there (except the taste which I have to divine down to the correct %) Haven't played penance brand yet so I don't know if the dps is calculated correctly and how long the energy stays on for. Build Features 100% physical to elemental Taste of hate + topaz and ruby flask Permeant pathfinder life flask regen Bloodnotch + defiance of destiny

Disclaimer this is just a fun side project that i am working on and also my first time doing a low tolerance build, so there might be intricacies that I am unaware of. Also extremely expensive build please do not try. You have been warned. The build revolves around the medium cluster notable tolerance which makes the first poison you inflict deal 300% increased damage. I am currently using 4 low tolerance with poison mastery for a total of 1500% increased damage. Discharge does one big hit to apply 1 stack of poison through original sin elemental to chaos conversion. We also want our poison

This is my current build. And I'm looking for ways to optimize it, I feel it still lacks some damage. Survivability is not the best eighter. I have been thinking on maybe get put in a dendrobate but idk, most "top" builds on poeninja uses lightningcoil, I guess for survivability. Please if someone knows, let me hear what I need to do, what I have been doing wrong, and if there is anything right, lemme know that too so I get to learn abit more. thanks

Basically just swapped around some gear from my normal EK PF to invest and try to do some MF since it's amazing this league. I know I'm missing out a lot Quant from not going Oath and beefing up the Distillate but I need the charms to be suppression capped atm (and Charms give kind of too much damage for now to give up) With Distillation up I get in game around 59 Quant and 90ish Rarity, that goes to 160ish with IIR Supporting Ethereal Knives. Got a decent EHP and all but sometimes since Poison just doesn't "instapop" I get massive

Rage Hold: Just wanted to share the thing I managed to make with literally my last jewellery recombinator and a crusader's orb slam. It took a total of 15 divines for perfect rolls (1 for prefixes, 14 for suffixes) Finally got something worth using the mirror I found a year ago! And yes caster catalyst is around ~1% more dmg than crit catalyst for the planned build (not a completely ready plan yet but quite close) Hot take: SSF STD is the best dad gamer league
