Impending Doom Pathfinder League Starter Leveling, Campaign Walkthrough and Pantheon.
Tyty Tips & Tricks
- This build uses Caustic Arrow from levels 2-12 & Poisonous Concoction until you get Vixen's Entrapment.
- Using Poisonous Concoction requires you to not use a weapon - make sure to pick up shields early on to use when you swap.
- You will not have enough Strength to equip War Banner until Primal Spirit
- Equip a Sapphire Ring for Merveil
- Always upgade your Life Flask while leveling - Poisonous Concoction gains damage based on your flask recovery. For this reason, always use two Life Flasks.
- Equip a Ruby Ring for the Vaal Ruins in Act 2
- Equip Two-Stone Rings after level 20, and get your Fire, Cold, and Lightning Resistances as close to 75+ as possible.
- Using the Aura Grace is an amazing defensive layer, and can be taken earlier if you are struggling with survivability.
- Take Nature's Reprisal in Normal Labyrinth to gain Wither on hit. This debuff decreases a monster's movement speed, but more importantly it increases the Chaos damage that they take.
- Take Master Toxicist in Cruel Labyrinth to gain one of the most broken poison nodes in the entire game. This causes your poisons to have a 20% chance to deal double damage - on top of giving poison proliferation on a monster's death.
- Take Nature's Adrenaline in Merciless Labyrinth to gain 3 flask charges every 3 seconds. This increases your flask sustain substantially, and is a very welcome addition to the build.
