12ex for gloves it completely out of muy league :D
but I got a general question and ur gloves made me tought about it : Does Strike+1 really make a difference ? I annoited my neck with it and dont see any difference : packs die as before, and we agree that strike+1 doesnt change anything on single target right ?
Im strongly thinking about annoiting Swift venoms, which would hurt considering the Tribal fury cost :'(

Well when you run higher content with more enemies on the map (T100, Sextanted Harbinger, 140+ Quant maps, etc.) the additional strike starts to be way more influencial than on normal t16 mapping. I personally like the additonal clear it provides, but as we told many many times: In the end it´s up to you to figure out how u wanna play that char. Just today I respecced into cluster jewels and swap to Viper Strike again, others will only go with pestilent etc.. Your imagination is the limit and if you don´t feel like u need the strike then don´t get it. I couldn´t really play higher content without it, it helps quite a lot with the poison prolif.

Do you use VS to clear because of the cluster jewel node you have that causes explosions, or do you just clear fine with VS anyways.

Yes I just swapped to perma Viper Strike because I finished the cluster jewels. Without them I was using Pestilent for Clear and Viper for Bossing.

I really don't understand the people complaining about the survivability of this build lol.
After Delirium aurastacker and prenerf CI ES VP builds(15k+ ES with instant leech) this is probably the tankiest build I've ever played.

Curious about the belt enchant..
Does it activate if your totems apply it, or only if you apply it(Withering Step)?

Downed Maven deathless today. Jk, I died 5 times to the memory games lol

Best build I've played in PoE, period. Plenty of upgrades to take, build is flexible (to a point), most of the equipment can be crafted/bought in the market for accessible prices as it is not a meta build (thank God), zoom zoom af, tankier than everything I've played. My equip is not THAT good, and damage is still insane.

Managed to 'finish' the game again, for a noob:
- Killed Maven (she's not that hard, the memory games are hard lol)
- Killed A9 Sirus like he was A4
- Made the Twisted and Hidden encounters, easily
- Farmed 100% Delirious maps, deathless
- Made Simulacrums (I skipped that league, had not idead what was waiting for me, and it was a breeze)
- Gonna probably do Uber Elder and The Feared just for the lols, this build is more than capable of doing this encounter easily

Only con to this build: made the game too trivial haha there seems to be almost no challenge now, everything dies too fast, and you don't.

As I finished the game (for me), I can quit the league in the next few days and wait for the next one.

Thanks Torstein and everyone who help us in this thread! This build is a precious gem!

Do you have a Path of Building? I'm curious how you went about it/which variant you did.

Having issue with damage on this build, can barely do t3 maps, trying to unveil chaos over time but havent had luck yet. Just need some quick tips on what to increase/spec into to increase damage so i can farm quicker.

What's your current setup look like? I was able to use 2x Wasps Nest and a 5L Perfect Form for a good bit until I started to hit like... T8-T10 or so and was able to acrue enough resources to start buying pricier gear. You can get the majority of this build running and off the ground for like... 20c or so if youre a savvy shopper?

Hard to find a Militant Faith Timeless Jewel that doen't change my passiv

He is playing Solo Self Found though.
@ZariiX: You can try chancing Wasp Nest's. With them you can make it to red tier maps.
Essence of Envy lets you put chaos damage on your amulet.
Getting a cheap amulet annoint (Poisonous Fangs) and then spending those points elsewhere.

Generally speaking the melee version does a fair bit more damage and if you can outplay the big telegraphed boss hits, you don't die all the time.

I noticed that your on ssf so I'll try to keep these suggestions as ssf friendly as possible. Also, I might have missed some things.

1) Venom gyre and cobra lash are unfortunately quite weak without good weapons so I would recommend using pestilent strike/viper strike (viper strike is insane and good clear with melee splash) until you can get more damage.
2) Speaking of weapons, you could use an upgrade. I know it's hard to get good weapons in ssf, but I would roll your weapons and focus on getting added chaos damage mods on both your weapons (if i could only choose 1 mod to get). These will go a long way. Crafting best-in-slot weapons would be difficult, but you may be able to wasp nest from beastcrafting recipes. The ones that give random unique claws/ convert a unique into another unique(I believe for the unique conversion recipe, ilvl is maintained so keep that in mind) (not sure if there are other ways to target farm them). Still rng, but in ssf, you take those chances (esspecially since wasp nest are good enough to be your endgame weapons unless you want to spend all your time farming fossils to craft better ones). If you can only get 1 good weapon, it might be worth it to use a shield and swap around the dual-wield passives in the meantime.
3) A six-link is big, for now, I would use any 6-link you have or farm for tabula rasa in blood aqueducts (Humility Divination card). If you need to balance resists, you could move them to your neck since they dont have a lot atm.
4) [If you switch to pestilent strike/viper strike] Since you probably dont have the oil to anoint tribal fury (or waiting till you get a good amulet), it may be worth giving up points to get tribal fury on the tree. It hurts losing those points, but having to take ancestral call is a big dps loss. The range also lets you be safer.
4) Diamond flask doesnt do anything unless you have perfect agony allocated, which isnt worth taking so you can use another flask.
5) You can free up another flask spot by doing your last two labs which is big. You're a pathfinder so flasks are very important for your defenses.
6) If you're not already, hit molten shell as often as possible since you basically become twice as tanky with as long as it's up
