Poison Gas Arrow Pathfinder

Eternal Youth = health flasks go to ES. I'm about to switch to CI as well once I get a few new rings.

2) Ele damage does not contribute to poison magnitude even if the poison is guaranteed, that goes for Gas Arrow aswell. The only way to change that is e.g. through Plaguefinger.


From normal poison application hits, but from using an ability that poisons, that doesn't seem true. If I add an infusion to the ability, the paper damage goes up and from testing, the damage also seems to go up. Same goes for Hand of Wisdom and Action. Unequipping it, and my Gas Arrow damage goes way down on paper and seemingly in practice. Maybe it's just the initial hit component from the Gas Arrow, but just checking the damage number on a boss, it goes up noticeably faster.

The abilities seem to scale off all Attack Damage, not just Physical and Chaos.

I've aready tested this with infusion supports on bosses and the poison dmg does not increase.
The tooltip that is displayed on the gas cloud is the pseudo-hit that applies the poison. That number includes elemental damage but the poison won't.

Aw man! That explains it. Gonna switch back to my other bow when I get home. Most recent one has a BIG lightning roll on it and the DPS in the tooltip jumps over 1K when it’s equipped BUT it has felt almost the same as my previous bow and without the life / mana on QoL. I was just stoked cause I actually gamble/crafted a high DOS bow.

Looks like they just fixed the low life interaction lol. How are you dealing with freezes on ci though, just with a charm?

Well it was short lived, the damage was nice but nothing insane unfortunately. I'm still trying to find ways to scale the poison harder.
I've given up fighting freeze, even with xesht +4, I was using charm but meh. I've adopted the strategy of just dont get frozen. Ghostwrithe still works with CI so got to balance out whether resisting all chaos damage is worth losing 900-1000 life.
