[3.21] 🌿Ultimate Claw Poison Pathfinder - Untouchable Viper - Molten Strike update by FEL

"

1) Starting from 34 lvl and approximately up to 40-55 lvl: venom gyre + pierce sup + added chaos damage + lesser\great projectlies works just perfectly with Mortem Morsu claws. With three heralds or malevolence even if you don't have a 5-link armor - it's not a problem, clear speed is great. Bosses quickly wiped too.

2) Praxis is STRONGLY nedeed for leveling. This should be noted more. Without this ring even with mana regen nodes (Primal Spirit, Mana Flows) and 1-2 lvl clarity it's still not enough mana => you still needed your mana flask.

3) Low lvl unique gloves (Giantsbane) or boots ("not so low" Alberon's Warpath) with flat phys or chaos damage - is good source of damage.

4) You need to keep your res as close to maximum as possible. Starting with approximately 40 lvl they become more and more impotant anf that's kinda tricky and non-obvious for newbies. Until The Brine King rape your char :).

5) Another difficult moment - when exacly player should take "Iron reflexes" node? I take it on 56 lvl, because mobs in heists started doing a lot of damage. It's fine only with flask:

Well appreciated, and of course I will discuss starting uniques in a seperate section and the other things u mentioned. But as am19228 pointed out, this guide will focus especially on league-start, so you can´t guarantee those uniques. As Resistances are low and hard to come by I wasn´t able to ignore a resistance ring to swap in paxis, and you can´t guarantee on league start to get your hands on it too, as well as the mortem morsu claws. I specifically tried to test this in a SSF Environment so far. Of course, with league start you can look for claw-upgrades and possibly helpful uniques via live-search and I will adress this. Aside from that the Ranged Skills are outperformed and not worth picking up while leveling.

Thought on cluster jewels for uber melee version?

The Build works perfectly fine without Cluster Jewels, especially the uber melee variant should skip them in my opinion. The reason for that: The additional Chaos notes in the top part of the tree are too good to skip if you want to maximize the damage. So the only ones you can stop with our scuffed life pool are block nodes, which basically counteracts the whole idea of the uber melee variant being mmax block.

Aside from that, the Cluster Jewels and nodes you pointed out are indeed strong, especially Low Tolerance and Wasting affliction. The others on medium are also strong.

For the Large one goes the same, good choices. I just like to add here that you can run with Chaos-Clusters too and grab:

Wicked Pall, Unspeakeable Gifts for Explos, Touch of Cruelty for hindering or unholy grace. The final choices should be down to personal preferences, but they are all good.

If the armor is 4,5 links, what should I do with the skill gem?

I'm improving Uber Melee. It's pretty pretty good so far!

Sneak peak videos, no cluster jewels, no legacy gear:

Wave 20 Simulacrum without use of Molten Shell! Notice that i'm often just standing and just press flasks xD

Fully juiced 100% Delirious T16 is now smooth sailing

I gave up 2 jewel sockets and picked up one of these, gained over a million dps. As I level above 95 I can replace the other jewel sockets:
