[3.21] 🌿Ultimate Claw Poison Pathfinder - Untouchable Viper - Molten Strike update by FEL
|
Nice thing to have also is a hunter influenced belt for the +chaos damage. And it's not even that hard to craft.
I use this for bosskilling when I'm not wearing the Headhunter. . You have a lot of resist on yours. Maybe you have to relocate some of that if you go for a belt like this. Edit: just noticed I should probably switch the catalyst on that. Not sure why I went with strenght there. Don't really need it. Zuletzt bearbeitet von Corioliss#1726 um 03.05.2020, 08:46:40

Thanks, @Destructodave, for the feedback. I'm trying to copy your build, but with PS. I wished I would have chose a different enchantment on the helm, to make the build more flexible. Right now, I'm painted into the PS corner, unlike your build, which works with any poison attacks.
" I'm not sure which 20% craft you're referring to. Quality on weapons, or something? Whatever it is, you're right: I don't have it. Thanks! |

"I'd rather have the % max life. "Chaos multi craft on weapons goes to 20% max. |

Is there any reason as to why the pestilent strike build takes 2 +30 int nodes?
|
|
"You only take these nodes if you don't have enough int elsewhere in your build. You can always redo the tree with "orbs of regret". So if you need the int for the time being, just take it. And if later you get it somewhere else on your gear, you can refund the skill points. Zuletzt bearbeitet von blastinMot#6703 um 03.05.2020, 20:15:25

" thanks. I did what you said. |

" As I said before, I'd really recommend replacing that Attribute Catalyst on the Circle of Nostalgia with a Resistance one. With the max roll of +20 to all Attributes on the Ring the Catalyst gives you an additional +4, that's absolutely nothing. +20% to the 65 Chaos res it has however is +13 chaos res total. That's not a small amount. That is of course, if you don't desperately need that 4 Attributes to wear some item you otherwise couldn't. But I highly doubt that. Edit: Another thing i noticed is that you have a free suffix on your Coral Ring. The chance of slamming a Resist there is actually decently high, so if you have a spare Ex it might be worth going for. Having another Resist on the Ring would free up some stats on your other pieces, so you could for example get that %chaos damage or %life on your belt instead. You could also just get some Attribute, which is never a bad thing to have. Another option is getting Leo Rank 3 in Research through Syndicate, he essentially gives you a free Ex slam. Or, if you're feeling lucky, you could also slam that with a Hunter's Orb for a 33% chance to get Increased Damage with poison/Increased Poison duration. Not sure if the item is good enough for that to be worth it though. Zuletzt bearbeitet von Corioliss#1726 um 04.05.2020, 04:02:33

Resold my tailwind/elusive boots. Not really suited for this build due too low crit chance, even in larger packs.
Poison faster is better |

Back to playing Pestilent Strike for a little while. I do like Pestilent; but it lags my PC so bad. It runs like ass; I dunno what the mechanic difference is, unless its poisons on top of the chaos dot that does it, but its freeze frames at some points; I dont suffer that playing Viper or Cobra. Anyways, I died a couple times trying some new stuff, so I'm back to Pestilent for a while. Its fun to play; just hard for me to enjoy when I'm dropping to single digit frames on explosion.
Also, I tried the 3 Purity/Aul's/Pure Commander thing. I did not like it. You give up a lot of dmg that way. Not only that, my experience was further soured that I died like 20 seconds into the first map with that build; some random stuff in delirium killed me. So, if I'm still gonna occasionally flop to some random Delirium stuff, I dont see the point in giving up 45% of my damage. Because that is what you sacrifice to run double clusters and 3 purities. About 45% of your damage. I gave it a shot; spent some currency on it, but in the end, I did not like it. Offense is a better defense to me. Kill it and move on, not tank it. I had to check it, though. It sounded promising to me. But just normal mapping I could already tell it was gonna be kinda meh in an orb'd map so I didnt even waste my time on that. Just respec'd back to normal. Just my thoughts on giving that triple purity/Aul's build a go. Its a noticeable damage loss, and I dont think it protects you from a lot of the stuff delirium does. Edit: I didnt even know that existed Redvex, lol. I'm gonna get me some of those. Zuletzt bearbeitet von Destructodave#2478 um 04.05.2020, 06:20:06

" That poison mod is juicy. I have triple resists boots so I can't get it :( I'm looking at micro optimisations for my character and I noticed that if I use "Iron Skin" instead of "Reflexes". It gives me 18% more armour. Am I missing something? Why use a Reflexes flask instead? " Thanks for this, I appreciate your sacrifice :) Zuletzt bearbeitet von Yalpe#3404 um 04.05.2020, 06:18:17
