Leveling Guide

For leveling use cobra lash and forget about pierce until maps, prioritize life nodes and Soul Raker.
Use unique claws for leveling and then The Wasp Nest until you can get a decent rare claw: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/List_of_unique_claws Once you get to maps take the pierce nodes and switch to Venom Gyre. Path of Building

PoB: 3.9: https://pastebin.com/fTmbA3LN Note: "60% more damage with poison" is added to claws with "60% chance for Poisons inflicted with this Weapon to deal 100% more Damage" as it is not supported in PoB. Withering Touch Rank 1 is added to the main skills so we can add wither stacks in config for the helmet enchant and withering step. My personal Brutal Restraint Rare Jewel added as PoB doesnt support timeless jewels. You will have to do the same if you get a brutal restraint. 11% more damage multiplier added to impresence amulet do show effective damage increase of culling strike from ambush and assassinate. (11.1% not recognized in PoB) Skill Gem Links

We use belly simply because there is so much dps to be had in the passive tree almost no dps chest makes up for it. So we take belly to free up passive points for dps nodes. The only better chest would be a..

ilvl 86+ Elder base and then just spam pristine fossil until you get  subbteranian and eldrich life mods, then t3+ life. T3 gives about the same about of life as belly. t1 and 2 more. the other mods on the rare are up to you, could be resists or some funky elder mod like the crit one. or add serrated in with prisine and go for -15cost of socketed skills. Desirable Claw Mods:

60% chance for Poisons inflicted with this Weapon to deal 100% more Damage(Necessary)
# - # phys or # - # chaos(which provides higher dps depends on individual setups, for me flat phys is better) % increased phys Attack speed Crit chance Crit multi Damage with poison Poison Duration You have some options here: 1. Spam corroded and hope for "60% chance for Poisons inflicted with this Weapon to deal 100% more Damage" and good natural rolls of other useful stats. 2. Spam corroded until you get "60% chance for Poisons inflicted with this Weapon to deal 100% more Damage" and 26-27 increased attack speed as one of the other mods. Orb of Annulment the bad mods off until you have those 2 mods left. (takes some luck) Once you have the rare with just "60% chance for Poisons inflicted with this Weapon to deal 100% more Damage" and 26-27% increased attack speed, you can craft on "can have multiple crafted modifiers". Then craft on "adds # - # physical damage", 100%-129% increased physical damage, and the crit chance/quality combo mod. Then divine until you get good rolls. At least 125% on the % physical and at least adds 15-30 physical damage for the flat phys is desirable. Getting all perfect rolls is nearly impossible. I spent about 20ex in divines just out of curiosity to see how close i could get. So dont be afraid to settle on non perfect rolls. If you can get the damage range on the claw to at least 95- 250, you will melt any content with it. Optional Base for more attacks per second but lose mana on hit. Wont be able to do "cannot leech from monsters" maps.

Optional final gear goal:

More attack speed, movement speed and accuracy from the dex. I would only wear this if you can maintain at least 100 all resists and 4900 life. Flasks
Скрытый текст
We do not need Unfreeze flask due to Shared Suffering on Leper's Alms Shield. Venom Gyre projectiles will transfer elemental ailments to mobs. Just make sure you throw some projectiles out before clicking any boxes, the returning projectiles will remove freeze/ignite/shock from you when they hit monsters. Jewels

Brutal Restraint timeless jewel - Look for faster poison damage, increased poison damage, attack speed, life, dex, movement speed. It's an expensive jewel so we add it as optional. It's not necessary for the build at all.
Any rare/unique jewel corrupted with "Corrupted blood cannot be inflicted on you" is great for survivability. Asendancy

Rings: We do a lot of damage so we just buff chilling towers to freeze blight monsters in place.
Your Chilling Towers deal 25% increased Damage(Allows us to freeze higher hp monsters) Your Chilling Towers freeze enemies for 0.2 seconds while they are affected by chilling beams (0.2 seconds/per damage tick. It freezes monsters for the entire duration of the chilling beam) Amulet: Anointment is Whispers of Doom. Feel free to submit your gameplay videos in the thread.

This build is working perfectly.

Headhunter is highly optional, I would use Stygian Vise with overall 160 life, and 5% onslaught on kill jewel. I've done all content possible this league, like deathless uber elder, constant T16 maps, Shaper, Mastermind 83, Blighted T15 full modded etc. My setup is slightly different, than OP's, but the core is the same. https://pastebin.com/qGPhHMRz 17.1M DPS, 6.45M Shaper DPS, 5350 hp Последняя редакция: Bromeek.

Thanks for the new thread on this spec. I had a question about your tree/flask set up - Why path to Perfect Agony and also take Coralito's Signature?
|
|
" If you want to make any boss kill or hard map videos i would love to link them in the build! " Right! Thanks for asking.. Main reason being is consistency of having Perfect agony working with Ambush and Assassinate as much as possible. The flask also gives us about 2.5 seconds of poison duartion and lucky crit chance which also synergizes with Ambush and Assassinate and Mistwalker. I'll add that to the guide! twitch.tv/VtuberLunartuna

" I'll try to record something during the weekend. | |
" Ah, okay, I understand where you're coming from now. I just got what I imagine will be my endgame weapons (apart from divining one of them). Would either you or Bromeek mind taking a look at my POB and seeing if a) it's calculated properly and b) any suggestions for further gear improvement? This is my second league and I could use a second pair of eyes. I know I need a better stygian but I'm not sure where else I could eek some extra DPS out. My spec is closer to loczek123's than yours, but you seem to be the most active theory crafter on the forum atm. Also, how do you feel about Opportunity vs. Ambush and Assassinate? https://pastebin.com/Xq1XMdfB Последняя редакция: fiestaforesta. Время: 2 окт. 2019 г., 22:29:42

" Looks like you using mostly the old build for mainly cobra lash. I would go through this new build. Have a look at skill gem links and gear and update what you have to that. Your dps looks great! I just plainly feel Ambush and Assassinate is better. Culling strike makes it better in my eyes. twitch.tv/VtuberLunartuna Последняя редакция: Lunartuna. Время: 2 окт. 2019 г., 22:38:43
