[3.21] 🌿Ultimate Claw Poison Pathfinder - Untouchable Viper - Molten Strike update by FEL

Sooo i guess its my turn, league has been fun, build is insanely strong and I want to thank the build creator and everyone else who made it unique with their own ideas! I achieved what I wanted every piece of gear I have is self crafted and all t1s(except for the abyss jewel and those medium clusters, was too lazy to craft them cause I am working into a mirror tier +1 spectre regalia). See yall next league where crafting becomes a nightmare(again)!

Just wanted to thank the build creator and those who contributed to the thread. This is by far the best build I’ve ever played. While my gear isn’t as perfect as some of the rest of you (damn console market being so small!) my character was still able to do anything I threw at it.

And ofcourse we waiting for patch notes and I think start again with PS :)

The removal of elder poison mod is a huge hit for this build, isn't it?

Unless they compensate with a fat Chaos DoT Multi that would be replacing it, but it's still a big nerf. Don't understand why they would do it since Poison DoT builds barely scale from HH and were not even META when it comes to DPS and clear. Shame.
This build gets hit even harder than Poison Bow builds since it uses the mod 2 times, it's a shame really. My PoB DPS got dunked by nearly 40%.
Gotta hope for something good in patch notes tomorrow.

Yeah, it is. You have to invest considerable more to get the dmg rolling. My bossing dropped from 39mio to 23mio, my mapping from 58mio to 35mio so it is roughly a 40% damage-loss.

I am pretty convinced they didn´t even target Poison specifically. Historically they are treating the Bleed- and Poison-Mods the same way and since this league they are introducing new Bleed-Skills I think we are just collateral damage.

Ignoring the huge dps-nerf we can at least be kinda sure that transendence and the defensive mechanic still stays valid as it is not mentioned at all. So seeing that tons of other builds also were nerfed this build will still be playable, but the damage will be significantly lower and the transition from Wasps Nest into the next weapon will take more currency.

Poison builds are basically dead with removal of the Elder mod. I'll wait to see the patch notes but i'm not holding my hopes up.

Pretty out of touch changes.

the defensive mechanics are still good, I think only the skill and class will have to be changed (for example, I tried frost blades), of course the build is completely different, but the game is the same .

Yeah the defense-mechanic is still working but that does not save this build as no one wants to hit on Sirus for 5 min straight in the last phase.

"The Elder-influenced Weapon modifiers that grant a chance for Poisons or Bleeds inflicted with this Weapon to deal 100% more Damage have been removed. In their place, Elder-influenced Weapons can now roll a new Local Poison or Bleed Damage over Time Multiplier modifier. The double damage chance modifiers were too multiplicatively powerful for these builds, providing power that only the modifier granted, so they've been changed to an effect that is additive with other Bleed/Poison damage multipliers."

From the manifesto...really hurts this build.
