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

Are the new gloves "sinistral" good for viper/pestilent setup?

- Gloves with +1 Strike + Dot Multi
- Amulet with additional additive Chaos Damage Suffix
- Double Life Hunter influenced Stygian Vise with additive Chaos dmg.

the %inc chaos is an essence mod - is essence+harvest the only way to craft these?

Hey !

I'm decided to try this build.

Never tried any of the mentionned skills (CL,VS,PS,VG).

It seems the best all-rounder is pestilent strike.

But do you gemswap between PS and VS for bossing ?

Are there particular restrictions for what skill to use ?

If not, why not use CL for mapping and VS for bossing ?

Thanks

Pestilent is best all-rounder.

You can swap, but you don't have to. With endgame gear i stick to Pestilent.

Melee skills have more damage, but there are no restrictions for skills.

Different support gems, you can use pseudo linked gloves for CL for clear though. See few pages before, player posted his.

Well I am pretty happy, I got this jewel late last night for only 27c.

Most of the cheap upgrades are done, now I just need to 6L my Perfect form and get my enlighten to at least level 3.

Having a blast with the build, it sure requires more attention to the lol aura stacking golems I was doing last league.

Nice jewel. I've sloted some garbage one, just to have corrupted blood immunity until i get something more decent.

why is viper better for single the PS?

Huh, well simple answer poison from VS last longer so you can stack up more poisons.

When considering endgame gear more complex one is they are about the same for the time span of lets say 4s constant stacking with little more damage on the VS.
Pestilent will hit it's damage ceiling faster while with VS you will be able to push it more.
Usually you don't have time to hit targets for the entire duration of the VS so it will feel the same or slightly better (Sirus blinks around etc. , lesser bosses you will kill in few sec.)
But, here is the catch. On the account of longer VS duration using "poison deal % damage faster" mods, duration of the skill "compresses", poisons become more potent and you get higher dps. PoB total damage stays the same which was mostly unrealistic to start with (lasts too long and PoB calculates full time of stacking), but real dps gets higher. That's when the VS really starts to take over the PS.

On bad gear VS will definitely be better because you won't have high damage and you will fully utilize it's native longer duration.

Hope this clears the dilemma a bit.

Your belt needs augment life harvests.
You need gloves with "strike skills target 1 additional enemy nearby", so you can annoint something else on your amulet.
Your Witchfire and Rumi's flask could use better rolls.
Your ring has room for 1 more suffix.
And the Helm is missing an enchant/the -chaos res to nearby enemies.

So still a bit more to upgrade.
But all in all pretty good!

Edit: Onslaught jewel could be upgraded a bit as well with more % chance for onslaught and second resist/all resist.

Finally got to a point in this build where I think im almost done with upgrades. Just need a watchers eye and - chaos res helm (dont know how I would fit it in and keep the gloves). but I got to say, this build is an absolute TANK. Super fast/super fun. really engaging. It took some work, but im at bout 9 mill damage, and bosses just melt oo.

I put white sockets on my chest and swap to cobra lash for general mapping and delriums maps (less dmg but the ranges play style and life on hit from all the projectiles feels really good)

and i go back to pest strike for bossing or just when i feel like it.

overall great build. I tried making a couple other characters but kept coming back to this one cuz they just didnt feel as good.

thank you for a great build! : )

PS harvest makes this build very easy to gear. all my gear is self crafted! I invested into weapon range on my helm and both weapons (harvest quality craft) and it seems to help a lot of clearing. But maybe that’s just me.
