We're scaling skill effect duration, using Temp Chains for longer brand duration, and focusing on physical damage converted to chaos. Pathfinder excels in clear speed and magic finding, thanks to obliteration explosions and poison proliferation.  

 

↖ Skill Gems

• Penance Brand of Dissipation: Get it to level 21; quality isn't a big deal.
• Support Gems: Awakened Unbound Ailments, Deadly Ailments, Void Manipulation, Empower, Efficacy (for duration scaling).
• Utility Gems: Plague Bearer, Level 1 Vitality (for leech via Watcher's Eye), CWDT + Immortal Call, Flame Dash, Smoke Mine, Despair, Haste.

 

↖ Gear

• Weapons: Start with Obliterations, then craft a wand with cast speed, chaos damage, and skill level increases.
• Armor: Magic find gear - Greed's Embrace, ASA's Gentle Touch (for Temp Chains), Goldworm boots. Use Ming's Heart ring for a massive DPS boost.
• Belt: Start with a Stygian Vise, then aim for a Headhunter.

 

 

↖ Ailment Immunity

Combine flask effects with abyss jewels (30% avoidance needed) to cover freeze, chill, shock, and ignite. The Pathfinder ascendancy and gear choices contribute significantly to this.

 

↖ Jewels

Focus on Watcher's Eye with life leech, and Balance of Terror for Wither application. Ancestral Vision and unique jewels like That Which Was Taken are key for frenzy charge generation and curse effectiveness.

 

↖ Charms

Look for mods that support poison duration, blind enemies, hinder, and Onslaught. Explode mods and Corrupted Blood immunity are also useful.

 

↖ Clusters

Opt for chaos damage clusters with Unholy Grace and Unwavering Evil. Alternatively, physical damage clusters can provide resistance boosts and other defensive stats.

 

↖ Mana Cost

Reduced mana cost jewels are essential for sustaining Haste and other high-cost skills.

 

↖ Passives

Focus on poison damage nodes, flask effect nodes, and spell suppression. Anoint Toxic Strikes for 100% poison chance.
