[3.21] 🌿Ultimate Claw Poison Pathfinder - Untouchable Viper - Molten Strike update by FEL
" " Just a heads up for anyone getting too excited for these numbers: This is with vaal haste, 3 frenzy charges (through blood rage), onslaught (5% on kill through jewel), 3 spider web stacks and "enemy is a boss? => no" in PoB. With shaper in PoB and all the on kill effects removed for bossing, its closer to 3,5m without wither/spider stacks or 7,6m with full spider/wither. This is not take away from your character, just to put it into perspective and don't have everyone load it into PoB as instantly as I did ;) Its obviously still enough damage to do endgame content comfortably. From looking over it the "blind on hit" jewels seems unnecessary, because you should have a smoke cloud up (which blinds enemies) through stibnite flask a lot of the time. Regarding 3.11 - what's with the Warcry stuff? Enduring Cry sounds solid without having all the numbers yet. Maybe coupled with VMS or another guard skill?

Oof, the VMS nerf was to be expected tho, I was really hyped up to play this build this league. Do you guys have a suggestion for a similar build I could run with pestilent strike? Should I go for a shadow build or would path finder still be fine?

" Ah that's my bad, Delirium was the first time/league I REALLY used POB (other than the skill tree) and it's calculation tab so I didn't realize I could change the enemy type. I'll edit my previous post so people don't get confused with the numbers, thanks for checking it for me. In regards to the 'Blind on Hit' Jewel, I bought it when I was specced a bit differently (had less block & no endurance charges) which ended up with me dying pretty frequently so I thought adding a Main immune + extra blind on hit would help with that. After I respecced to more tank, I forgot about it and never swapped it. |

" This might be a bandaid for the whole VMS nerf. 3 Endurance charges with 2% additional phys reduction from Enduring Cry seems pretty strong. Regen on top of it. " Yeah, what can you do other than adapt. Been in this situation few times before with other builds. Nothing is broken beyond repair, it's just very f***** tedious to update the build and find solutions when GGG released patch notes 2 days before league start without gems info and other stuff. VMS nerf broke my heart but i understand to some point. While under it char was almost unkillable. It's still very much viable for all content just not op as it was. Not much i can do atm since gems and items are not updated in PoB. :/ |

" Second this question. Does the scourge poison PF have the same potential as this build did pre-3.11? |
|
"No worries. If you're new to something as complicated as PoB, these things happen. Remember it happening to me as well, when I started to use PoB more often. "Well, every other (or most of them) has to deal with it as well. So it's still fair game and part of the "fun" going in to a new league. I'll probably league start with this build anyway, because I honestly just liked it so much last league. Also for me the VMS thing is probably not as bad as it looks on paper. On fully loaded maps or simulacrum wave 20 you couldn't have it up all the time and you still didn't die constantly. Looking forward to the new league mechanic. May be this has something nice to craft in store for this build... |

" True that. I remember too when i tested it in Simulacrum that I popped VMS only short before Kosis spawned on wave 20 and it was over the top even then. He only managed to ding my life when it expired. Some crafts will be interesting for sure. Increased ailment duration focus craft i haven't even used so far. It will be fine honestly. Ill add now Vennto's early leveling guide onto the main page. |

" There are few of those. Wouldn't know really what are the changes on the tree for 3.11 but they are good. If you wanna go with Scourge i can recommend this one https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2851574 Zuletzt bearbeitet von TorsteinTheFallen#1295 um 17.06.2020, 19:18:02

This would be preliminary update until they give gem and item updates for PoB

I'm not entirely sold on Enduring Cry.
Without any WarCry tree investment it has a cast time of 0.8s and it only works when surrounded by mobs. Any defensive benefits the thing might be giving us are completely nullified by having to sit there in front of a pack for almost a whole second. And I'm not entirely fond of losing a whole second worth of DPS against bosses when this build is as reliant on constant uptime. |
