So I've been stalking this thread and playing this build for the past two weeks.

I've played every variation. Venom Gyre / Cobra Lash, into Viper Strike and Pestilent Strike. It's been fun! Love Venom Gyre as a skill. Cobra lash is good too. Both lack single target I've found, especially into higher red maps.

Here is my gear:

Spoiler

I'm going to say once you have the currency you might as well switch right over to Transcendence/Militant Faith with Viper Strike. I use Pestilent Strike as my clear, switch in Viper for bosses.

It's a fucking tank. I have 4.2k life and in T16s I just stand still, pop my flasks, and slap mobs around. Highly, highly recommended. And it's not even remotely min-maxed yet. I need the enchant on the boots, the pantheon fully upgraded, a better Rumi's, Hunter Helmet, and more chaos res across gear.

So even without all of that but the core pieces (loreweave, step, timeless jewel, enough skill points at 91, decent gear) it's performing well above expectations.

Quick question regarding the transcendence version of the build, how important is the withering step enchant? Could you alternatively swap it for something else, or is it just miles better than any other option?

Mostly asking since finding a good evasion base helmet with the enchant is a bit of a pain.

This is only my second season so take this opinion with a grain of salt until someone smarter responds to it.

I think this guide should have the claw crafting updated for Harvest. Rerolling a claw with fossils in a 4 socket resonator is like 25+chaos a reroll (resonators are 20c, corroded is 5c), up from ~15+chaos a reroll last week. The harvest approach takes a lot of harvest depending on your luck. It may make sense to make an initial "ok" claw with fossils, then work on a better one as you accumulate harvest (though wasp nests can do red maps to farm harvest).

I think the best approach is get an elder base, start slamming deafening essence of zeal (~6 chaos) for a t0 attack speed.

From the slam you are looking for:
- A second and/or third suffix that you want
- Other suffixes removable via crafting
- Prefixes don't matter

Best suffixes are probably things like damage over time multi, crit multi, increased poison damage (I'm actually not sure what is best, PoB probably knows). You have a couple of options here. Remove the ones you don't want with harvest, add the ones you do. I think the easiest approach is to try to get dot multi, crit chance, or crit multi, then add another crit trying to get the one you missed. You could mess with filling prefixes and adding chaos to try to get % poison suffix, but not sure if its actually better than crit mods with all the % poison already in our build.

Once you have your suffixes, you blank the prefixes on the claw. You can use harvest "Reroll keeping suffixes" until you roll removable prefixes (elementals, physical, life). Then you add chaos twice, craft on chaos multi, and you're done.


For reference here is a claw I crafted a week ago using fossils as a starter:

Here is my current harvest project, just needs add chaos and benched for chaos multi:

I also have a question - what is the best quality for weapons, especially with Void Fangs? Is it accuracy, attack speed, or leave it as is? I'm playing cobra lash.

The build has perfect agony, why wouldn't you benefit from the crit stuff?
