PoE Poisonous Concoction Build

Let’s take a level 1 gem as an example.

  1. It is a Unarmed skill. Requires an empty main hand, and no off-hand weapon. A character with a shield or quiver equipped can still used an unarmed attack.
  2. It deals Chaos Damage.
  3. Has a 40% chance to poison on hit.
  4. Scales its damage based on how much life the consumed flasks recover, which encourages you to craft your flasks to take advantage of this.

Poisonous Concoction VS Explosive Concoction

Poisonous Concoction Poisonous Concoction Explosive Concoction Explosive Concoction
Deals poison damage Deals fire damage
Consumes charges from your Life flasks Consumes charges from your Elemental flasks
Throws an explosive bottle that deals unarmed attack damage in an area. Requires an empty main hand, and no off-hand weapon.

Visual Effect

An Explosive or Poisonous Flask will now be visually attached to your Character’s Belt when socketing the Explosive Concoction or Poisonous Concoction Skills in your equipped items.

Poisonous Concoction is an unarmed attack skill gem that throws an explosive bottle, dealing area damage with a chance to poison. Charges can be consumed from a Life Flask to add further damage. This skill gem requires an empty main hand, and no off-hand weapon or quiver.

A Poisonous Flask is visibly attached to your Character's Belt when the skill is socketed in one of your equipped items.

Skill Functions and Interactions

The explosions from projectiles can overlap. Given sufficient investment into increased area of effect, many explosions can hit the same target, making Greater Volley Support and Greater Multiple Projectiles Support effective ways to scale Poison. The projectiles from Poisonous Concoction is ground-targeted and cannot pierce, fork, split or chain, only the explosion does damage.

The explosion will visually turn red if the skill consumed Life Flask charges on that attack.

AoE breakpoints: The base radius of the skill is 18. 12% increased AoE gives the skill a radius of 19, 24% increased AoE gives a radius of 20, and 37% increased AoE gives a radius of 21. Testing with 9 total projectiles showed that most projectiles will overlap when the radius is 20 (average 8.8 out of 9), and all projectiles will overlap when the radius is 21

Added Chaos Damage equal to #% of Flask's Recovery Amount if Charges were consumed: This skill will add chaos damage if a life flask's charges were consumed. The added damage is only base on the value of "Recover #" on the life flask itself, the one that can be seen at the top of life flask when mouse over it.

To maximize the added chaos damage from consumed Life Flask charges, a Divine Life Flask with the Saturated prefix is ideal. For reference, see the list of life flask modifiers.
