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

Hey all,

Just ran this through the story and I'm really liking the build, but I'm a little concerned about the number of active skills. I'm not using withering step and still have (just counting active skills):

Pestilent, Whirling, Dash, Wither Totem, Enduring Cry, Vaal Haste, Molten Shell, Vaal Molten Shell

This seems like a lot compared to what I've run before; do you have any keybind suggestions or things we can drop for more supports (drop Vaal Haste or Enduring for something to support Enduring/VHaste and Molten Shell)?

If you care to look at my build "RichAFBB"
Could you maybe tell me what I should be focusing on?
So far I clear t16's with ease, bosses can kill me pretty quick.
Is auls worth running if you can't get envy?
Circle of nostalgia over a rare life/res ring late game?
(Don't mind the helm. Need to hit the enchant still)

Could be to attacks I think, but the gerneral adds chaos rolls a lot higher values as far as I remember. And its not that hard to get anyway.

In fact it should be easier to get this league, because when you craft the perfect claws, that's only missing the chaos damage prefix, you should be able the chaos augment it 100% with a chaos augment harvest craft. Make sure the suffixes are full of course. There are no other chaos mods and the added chaos damage only has 1 tier to roll.
Didn't try this yet, but should work in theory.
Make sure that the outcome is worth more than 1 ex, because that's the current price for the chaos augment.

Attention fellow claw crafters!
Be careful when doing this. Only works if your suffixes are full.
Otherwise you might roll unholy might, chaos res or phys to chaos damage on your elder base claws.

So I'm 93 now and managed to gear up without taking the 2 Int nodes... I'm still having fun and leveling so I'm wondering what you guys would suggest taking for the next few points on the tree for the Pestilent Strike version?

Hello!

The build is nice, im quite enjoying mapping with it, though i can escalate the build much more still.

One thing to note, is that on the Pestilent Strike PoB you have the 6link with Unbound ailments, and then on the guide itself it says that melee skills should have Melee phys or Ancestral call.

Checking the DMG in PoB unbound ailments should always be there, so the gem links on the guide should say that.

Yeah, that I missed to update.

In general you can't go wrong with either.
Melee Phys is better than regular Unbound Ailment's, but Awakened Unbound is better than Melee Phys and it's cheap.

Melee phys scales more poison damage while Unbound ailments scales duration.

PS

Sorry guys i'm not responding to msgs, i'm skipping this league.

Played this build the last 2 leagues and I know how good it is (especially for just obliterating bosses and speed farming). With the VMS nerf how is it working out? Tried a couple different builds and I'm still building a VD build, but.... it just doesn't feel as good as I know this build does. Basically I'm looking for someone to convince me not to reroll (again) to PS (VS on bosses).

Doing you pestilent strike build. Gotta say this is super fun. First time using the skill and first time using Pathfinder. It melts things similar to ED/Contagion but doesn't suck against bosses. Thanks for the build(s)!

Thank you for a really great guide.

Playing this build with Pestilent Strike on PS4. lvl ~85 stll.

Generally, it feels good when I manage to use at least 4 flasks (using controller with additional buttons). Though I cant use all the active skills mentioned in the guide. Dropped Vaal Grace. And besides that , I have free sockets left now but too lazy to think and test something before I find some good gear...

Cant advise this build for console players mainly because of heavily relying on flasks for anything (damage and defiance, survival).

It's still really good, basically just zoom around tapping on packs and watching them chain explode. It still feels relatively tanky with the VMS nerf to me, I've done all elder shaper guardians and up to awakened level 7 Sirus and rarely die, just activate molten shell after all your flasks are up and generally it's OK.

Regular MS gives me 10K+ armor, VMS gives me 20K+.

This is my first build this league and first poison build and I'm still having a lot of fun. I felt it really started to take off when your gear starts getting better, ie. 2 useable crafted claws, 6 linked chest with awakened gems, and the gloves.
