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

Hoping this works out. Would it be worth it to pivot from Transcedence + Armor to Kintsugi and hardcore dodge.
My benchmark build lost:
-30% damage
-5% dodge
-5% spell dodge
-7% attack block
-5% spell block
-Perma elemental immunity
-Half the armor or close
-Half the molten shell buff
-Mana cost of Pestilent strike increased by 18 to 39

Unaffected:
- Movement skills
- Elemental EHP

Proposed changes for now:
- Switch Vile Toxins for Void Manipulation
- Remove Witchfire brew for a regular Stibnite flask
- Use both "Of Reflexes" and "Or Iron Skin" as jade/stibnite suffixes
- Rare ring now requires despair on hit as a suffix
- If mana cost is an issue, swap an imperial claw to a gemini claw for mana on hit

This is where I'm at. Any other ideas?
Basalt Flask with the new 20% more armour may be useful, as could the new Defiance Banner if it can be squeezed in (49% increased Evasion and Armour, nearby enemies have 29% reduced critical chance, 15% less enemy damage on placing banner).

Played this in 3.13 as my first build. Pushed it to 96 endgame, cleared enough of the challenges to get the hideout, absolutely loved it as someone who had supreme nostalgia for the "Exploding Palm" style Monk from D3 if anyone is familiar. Between screaming "you are already dead" and chugging flasks like the Drunken Master to avoid death. Loved it. Skipped 3.14 due to burnout and other games, and I come back to this.

Don't know enough about the game on a high tier/theorycrafting level, but just reading patch notes, I might have to pour a 40 out for it. Really really hope someone can salvage it, because damn this build was fun

It will never be as good. The last two patches cut over half the damage combined. The defenses are still alright though. I rolled it this league but it won't be as good as it was in 3.13. I had over 70mil and if I get 10mil this league I'll be happy.
Arctic Armour will grant Freeze Immunity.
LOOOOOOOOL
Glad i start this build

Keep in mind that the perfect form variant is a lot less tanky than the transcendence version.
Is it still worth rolling this build now or better do other PF shenanigans?

It's still worth and should be very strong.

Here is the PoB for 3.15

FEL put the new pastebin together mostly i did some fine tuning afterwards.

It will be freeze immune and ready even for maps with Elemental Weakens curse when the update hits.
It's tight on gear as before so just be warned.

Thanks a lot for this, having a blast playing it. I haven't made the switch to transcendence yet. Just looking at the PoB and the effective health pool for physical goes way down but elemental shoots through the roof as expected.

I'm not sure on the damage distribution from monsters, whether its mostly elemental or physical or a half half split. Just on PoB it looks a bit squishy for physical damage or does elemental damage dominate in higher tier content?

Lastly, what's your view on just paying the mana reservation for arctic by losing the aspect and putting on a loreweave?

Thanks!
