Need Help -> PoisonBurst survivability.

Follow fubguns guide, he has a whole leveling guide for his poison burst pathfinder.

It tells you what kind of gear you're looking for in the campaign, and how to set up your passive tree.

Main tips are to look for gear that gives life/resist. But if you're only level 14 you're probably just not dodging things. Or don't kill fast enough.

Another method is to build damage, this can be done in a few ways for early campaign:

• flat damage (adds 1-4 physical to attacks)

• flat elemental damage (adds 1-4 fire damage to attacks)

• the faster you kill enemies the easier it is to progress, they can't damage you if they're dead before they can hit you (main priority, alot of rangers are built this way)

What is your in-game name? I'll give you a bunch of leveling gear to help you out.

Edit:

• Also, for the future if you need gear help, you want to provide something called a "POB" (path of building, a 3rd party app to showcase your character)
• But you can just go to a website called POE NINJA, and log into your steam account there. It'll upload a posting of your character, you just copy paste that poe ninja link here. That's usually the easiest method.

Get charm for bleed. Make sure your resistances are capped. Follow fungus poison burst guide (look at his gear for different stages and try to understand why and match it)

Survivability for this build largely comes from evasion and energy shield and the gear/passives that synergies those two defensive stats.

The unique chest he uses and a high es headgear are big benefits to the build.

Don't do a pure es build. Mix of evasion and energy shield is needed for survivability. Else boss fights will be a hurdle.

Evasion and deflection will stop those random feeling one shots.

I'm not sure what information the community would need in order to help me? Do people post pics of their gear? Their Talents? Their Char profile? What's the best way forward here?

Link your POE account to poeninja and post the poeninja link of your char here, people will then see your great+passive tree and could give you pertinent advice.

My pathfinder's tank was ~2500 life, ~30k evasion ~30k deflection and felt immortal until the occasional 1shot lol (which happened very rarely thankfully). Used bleeding/freez charms.
