Path of Exile 3.25 Bow Trickster Update: Testing Scourge Arrow and Defense Upgrades

The bow trickster character has been upgraded to 23,000 energy Shield, testing new skills like Scourge Arrow and aiming for 30k ES.

### Upgrades to the Bow Trickster Build
The bow trickster build has seen significant upgrades, reaching 23,000 energy shield and level 97. The player is currently testing the Scourge Arrow skill with Point Blank, along with other skills like aeronova and toxic rain of the Spore burst. The goal is to increase defense to confidently tackle voided maps and ensure a profitable outcome.

### Strategy for Navigating Challenging Map Mods in the Game
The Aeronova strategy is currently being used, but there is a consideration of switching to regular GMP in the future. The character has died seven times while leveling, learning to select map mods more carefully, especially ones that guarantee hits or reduce defense. Despite facing various challenging mods, the character is able to cruise through the maps comfortably, with phasing on kill providing a consistent advantage.

### Efficient Enemy Annihilation with a Versatile Character
The character can easily handle most damage mods and is currently cruising through t7s and annihilating Uber. The main remaining challenge is to tackle the voided map. The character's build allows for flexibility in addressing ailments, with strategies to counter ignite, chill, freeze, and sap.

### The Limited Impact of Shock Damage on the Character's Gameplay
The character is not technically shock immune, but in most cases, it doesn't matter because they can't be shocked. The player is considering adding shock avoidance to their boots or via a flask suffix to gain ailment immunity, but for now, they have been playing without it. The character is able to ignore most things, including Uber X Arc, but still needs to test Uber Maven and Uber Eater for their tanking abilities.

### The Rare Occurrence of Getting Shocked in the Game
The character has a unique shock immunity, only getting shocked when using a specific alter to reflect ailments. The design allows the character to take all damage as one ailment, making it difficult for enemies to inflict other ailments. The player plans to continue upgrading the character and investing more currency into it.
