How does the whole temple carry stuff work? Was thinking about trying it for some quick xp and gold.

As a poisonburst pathfinder I do the same speed of damage whether it's a white mob or a boss. How do I make my poison do its damage way faster? I've seen people say duration should be shorter, then others say duration should be longer, but nobody can give a definitive answer and explanation for why? I wish there was some unique that would make it deal its damage instantly rather than over time.

  • Is there a way to estimate the total damage for poison based Plasma Blast? It does not seem to be reflected properly in PoB compared to bleed.
  • What skills (or "class of skills") detonate frost wall?

Hey guys,

Ive been following Fub's PB Pathfinder build all season, its gone well, but its nowhere near what it could be. What im struggling with currently, is working out where i can upgrade.

I've been using pob to compare items off trade for weapon etc, but what i dont understand is what im meant to be looking at for Damage output for this build specifically. Even when i drop in a double dps bow to my current with high flat damage (i have plaguefinder with the correct affix), the dps seems to go down. and my current bow isnt anything special.

I think im missing something relating to how the poison magnitude works. Can anyone help me with how to setup Skills (active/full dps etc) config settings for poison, and what numbers to look at?

Id rather not know specifically around my current build (which is why i havent added a link), but id rather understand what to do in pob so i can apply the same appraoch in future :)

I definately have plaguefinder with the all damage applies to poison magnitude. I promise ive not overlooked this bit!

Hey guys, i finished the game (vaal) i am a sorc lvl 99 with a really good zealot lightning minions focused build(cost ~ 900 divs), now i wanna start a new char. But want to turn the sorc into a rarity bot! Anyone got a link to a really good rarity bot build, 450% or higher, highest i could go rn is 380% and i am -100 on all resistance because of the skill tree and maybe other things. would be happy to know if sorc is usable as a rarity bot and what build u guys are using?. Don’t mind spending up to 800 divs on a rarity build. Thx in advance

How do I disable the blinking nail for good? I do not need the thing whining at me every two minutes when a quest stage updates.
