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

I plan to play in this league with a regular version without Transtendency, AA is practically a must have considering that it has Freeze Immunity, AA itself will link with Elemental Proliferation and Unbound Ailments giving pretty strong Chill for everything. Considering that we also have Phase Acrobatics, I think Perfect form is much better for this character than Loreweave. Def before Ele should be enough, we have a 6% reduction from Ascendancy, Phase Acrobatic I wonder if playing without Transcendence not reduce some block / damage by adding HP pool because here may be the main problem.

Did you make a assassin guide for the Range poison version? Id like to check those out please. :)

How's everyones experience with it this league. Not too bad but seem to have hit a brick wall around T13+. Bossing has been pretty bad but clear is still great. I have one of the crafted weapons done but now thinking whether I should spend some currency to get the other or just hunker down and get the 6L instead.

You really need to 6 link your chest.

like yalpe said: 6-link would be a huge dps upgrade, also try to use ps for clear and just straight up change ps with vs without changing support gems for bosses

currently i m finishing up my awakened completion in the atlas and trying to craft better claws to get my final atlas points from "the feared".
i m too bad to try that with wasps, everything else is completely doable.

perfect form got really good now with the aa buff, but in the end you still want to go for that loreweave + transcendence combo.
freezes are basicelly not occuring with transcendence since the mitigation for elemental dmg goes through the roof, so loosing freeze immunity is not a big deal.
another point that gets brought up regurlarly is the phys mitigation: my experience is that nearly all endgamebosses do either phys convert or flat ele attacks/spells, pure phys dmg is really not common

How is survivability for general mapping going for you guys? I'm only 76, but I have all of the life nodes from the tree plus fairly high life rolls on my gear and I'm still sitting ~3900 hp. My clear is absolutely fine, but I find myself getting randomly popped even in yellow maps. Is that just the new reality with all of the nerfs and shit, or am I doing something wrong?

i m assuming you got a life flask and a rumis for the empty flask slots, is the right pantheon set up? besides that everything seems fine, just get some more levels

Yea, I just have them on another character. And yeah, pantheon is setup. I'll just focus more on using Vaal MS in big clusters of rares and shit, I've always had it on a CWDT setup, so it's not muscle memory to use it without being on a boss yet. Thanks for the reply

Edit: Can you tell me the appropriate use of Withering Step? Is it just to assist the totems with applying withered stacks?

yeah exactly i m using vms for bigger incoming packs and i ve got normal ms on mouse left click to autotrigger it. withering step is actually your main way to apply wither stacks (helm enchant, anomalous withering step + enhance), the totems are there for the missing few stacks.

withering step is spammed on cooldown, almost use it to:
- apply wither stacks
- increase movement speed around the map (instead of quicksilver flask)
- move through monsters (phasing)
- dodge (by moving out of) or tank hits (elusive)

When fighting trash mobs:
- reposition yourself so that your aoe can hit a large group
- hit the group with main skill and run to the next group, repeat
or in other words:
tack monsters on top of yourself using the phasing and then just 1 tap them with VS/PS, spam withering step for speed when no mobs are around

When fighting yellow / unique:
- WS apply initial wither, if the mob is dying fast then dont even summon totems

When fighting boss:
- totems apply wither, WS primarily for speed


TLDR:
use both speed and debuff





In the POB listed there is amulet and ring with - mana cost of non channeling spells. That makes the cost of Whirling Blades = 0. Therefore Lifetap is not needed for Whirling Blades. Any suggestions what to use instead? I like increased attack speed support
