I was thinking maybe a claw + shield version of this build could work with how much dual wielding points we take on the tree.

Probably less damage but we could replace those with shield specific passive that seem very equal in term of damage added and grab +shield defense. With a good shield equipped that could really make our armor go thought the roof don't you think?

Maybe it will affect our damage too much? what do you guys think?

With a good claw its definitely viable. It would give somewhat less dps but overall more defensively oriented char with possibly more chaos res, life and armour.

Now that elder imperial claw is gated from mere mortals like us, I just couldn't stand the wait and got myself an elder great white claw (much slower attack speed but cheaper + gain life per hit is good). Fossil crafted 5 times, only manage to get 60% chance for 100% more damage and not other useful stats beside bench crafted attack speed.

Surprisingly, the shitty claw hit much harder than the wasp nest despite wasp nest showing higher tool tip dps! Like, at t13 map, i have to hit multiple times with 2x wasp nest to get things to start dying while with that 60% chance more damage ones, often one poke and the the mobs start exploding!

Is that because 100% more damage is multiplicative? (also, wasp nest needs 5 hit to start ramping).

That said, i think it's worth it to use less optimised claw based if you reallllyyyyyy can't wait. One elder affix alone and the damage improvement over wasp nest feels really significant.

Welp, time to continue to hoard them expensive corroded fossils.........

Havent buy witchfire yet as i think its still way overpriced! Basalt flask had been good for me to improve survivability in the one-shot delirium league.

So you weren't kidding about the cheap claws.
Bought a shitty elder base yesterday, alt-spammed a bit and got the 60% chance mod. That alone increased my dps by about 150k in POB, currently rolling one wasp and one elder base - The ramp up time is significantly less now.

As an aside, I feel proud, managed to link my perfect form in about 300 fuses :D

300 fuses?? Damn, i spent like 600 jewellers orb + fated connection ._. cant even get 6 sockets! Haha...

Yeah even shitty one mod claw is better than wasp nest unfortunately , so i think if imperial claw is way out of budget, eye gouger is actually serviceable due to the high attack speed and life gain on hit, budget option i suppose.

I suppose one can still league start with PS/VS pathfinder but its no longer as budget as it used to be ... Its super strong though, i rarely die even during delirium encounter due to how tanky this build is! Touch and watch thing explode is fun too.
