[3.26] Mamba pathfinder + Low tolerance

Planning to make a Blight content focus character with the following mix

Dual-wield
Mamba Strike

Stack multiple Medium Cluster. 3 stacks would make it a 12:1 poison ratio (Poison mastery adds an extra 300%)


Add in the Pathfinder Ascendancy for a good high damage prolif
Master Toxicist

I'm wondering if it would be better to go Range with Puncture+Poison for safety and reapply ailments if the target didn't die on the first poison

Unless there is a way to have the Viper strike mamaba to be applied at range, while keeping it as "Your poison" for the 1200% damage increase


Anyone can help with this (Beside "Play something else")

i mean you can get a little distance by just having some form of echo effect ... like the attack mastery non-vaal skills hit 1 extra enemy ... or ancestral call

Melee strike range from harvest quality (on both weapons) and Weapon Artistry noteable.
Non-vaal strike skills target 1 additional enemy from attack mastery and/or exarch influence on gloves.
Melee splash does help with pack clear. Not sure if it gives any more range though, at least not without hitting via splash effect (less damage).
For sure a Sione's Ambition anoint.

You're still a melee build, but you'll get to keep a reasonable distance.
