[3.21] 🌿Ultimate Claw Poison Pathfinder - Untouchable Viper - Molten Strike update by FEL
" In past leagues I started with transcendence as soon as I hit maps and could afford it. In this league I don't plan on starting on transcendence for various reasons. |
|
" Can we get the same tankiness as earlier leagues without going transcendence? |
|
" Its not a black and white answer. The transcendence version was very vulnerable to vulnerability (lol) and big phys hits in general. Think Kosis in simulacrum or even minotaur. A lot of effort was dedicated to mitigating that weakness, but the nerf to Rumi really hurt the build. Having played that version of the build in 3.15 I really felt it. Lots of random 1 shots, sometimes from trash mobs. So can you get tankier than the 3.13 version? Most likely not. This patch, you lose Wind Dancer and fortify. Transcendence also cannot be used with perfect form anymore due to the nerf so you also lose arctic armor if you were not using loreweave. The ranger area has lost all its life regen and most of its block. Iron reflexes was moved further to the right. Not taking Iron Reflexes also makes molten shell worse. Pathing is a lot harder in the duelist area, costing more points. You CAN make a transcendence build, but it makes a lot more sense on the right side of the tree now. So with that said, I want to try an evasion based version because we can no longer max block. I can't guarantee that my version will be good. As a matter of fact, I know it will be worse damage. Just using my new tree with my 3.15 gear loses 4mil out of 13mil dps. Some of the buffs to damage over time and awakened gems can compensate that loss up to 11mil but its still a net loss. I will play this build because I know what I'm doing. I've played it for 4 leagues. If you don't, maybe its best to stay away as I can't guarantee that it will be good. |

Hello guru's of poe! Is this build available for 3.16?
|
|
@Yalpe Thank you for the explanation :)
Can you link your current version of the tree? |
|
https://pastebin.com/py1sMe4m not sure on which armor to use yet... Might need a bit more life, still iterating. I don't know if I can recommend this so keep that in mind. It might not work.

" Defenses actually looks pretty decent considered the gear in the pob. |
|
3.13 ? Is this build ded? Looks interesting but is it 3.16 viable?
|
|
" Its not "ded" but the build lost 66% of its damage across the last 3 patches, maybe even a little bit more. Now its a lot harder to build it for transcendence so until it is proven again, just play something else. |
|
Is this build completely dead?
"There's no thing like random one-shots in this game. You only die because you take 353,456,237 hits in 0.2 seconds."
