PoeCurrencyBuy Date: Sep/20/18 06:05:57 Views: 4812

"There are venoms and virtues aplenty in the wilds, if you know where to look."

The Pathfinder possesses skills that grant additional flask uses and offensive and defensive bonuses while using them.

The build is around Damage over Time, a little bit of chance to poison ( to have the Crawler up at max stacks ) and withering generation using Toxic Rain linked with Withering Touch.

Pros & Cons

Pros

+ great clearing speed thanks to CA buffs.
+ really good to run maps and delves because the only mods you dont want to run
are no leeching and no regen.
+ really good to run delves with.
+ high evasion and movement speed.

Cons

- really weak single target till you get key items (6l +3 Bow, Dying Sun, Impresence, 21/20 CA, Empower lvl 3/4 )

Catarina Method ( expansive one atm )

You need to have either a Maraketh Bow base or a Thicket Bow base ( because of the high movement speed/attack speed ).

-First try to Alteration spam the +2 level to Bow Gems.
-Than use an Augmentation to have a suffix.
-Regal it hoping for another suffix, if not Scour and start again.
-Craft Cannot Roll Attack mods ( 1ex with Catarina lvl 8 )
-Exalt it for a guaranteed +1 level to Gems
-Scour the Catarina mod and craft Damage over time with Leo

Fossils Method ( cheap method )

You need to have either a Maraketh Bow base or a Thicket Bow base ( because of the high movement speed/attack speed ).

-You need to have a Metallic Fossil ( dropped into Mines ), a Corroded Fossil ( dropped into Petrified Forest ) and a Prismatic Fossil ( dropped into Magma Fissure ).
-Put the fossils into a 3 socket Chaotic Resonator and slam the bow.
-The +3 is not guaranteed, its RNG based, so u can craft it with just one try or spend a lot of fossils.
-After you get your +3 bow, craft Damage over Time with Leo if you have an open prefix.

It gives us huge stats, like 20% Aoe (so we can easy play with conc effect all the time) +100 Life, over 700phys dmg and the best part "Your physical dmg can Shock" BUT it shocks not from itself so u still need "%chance to shock" wich we get through our jewels.
