Any suggestions on crafting the Claws? yes I've read the guide, but maybe I'm just having awful luck. I cannot, for the life of me get the adds # to # chaos damage AND the chance for poisons to do 100% more damage to roll at the same time. Probably spent like 150C on Corroded fossils at this point. Maybe I'm just venting lol. Any weapon I've found worth a damn is at least 6 ex rn. I'll keep checking though.

My best results came after I started using Aberrant, Corroded and Metallic in a 3. Blocks so many unwanted mods and narrows the pool down a ton. Maybe give that a go.

Also, make sure the claws are ilvl 83+.

Sorry if you're already doing all of the above. Good luck!

I should have stopped reading right there ^^^

So you are playing with 1 claw in a build where passive tree has half dual wield damage nodes and 50% block that comes also from that... And it's squishy?
I mean, wtf rly?

Not 100% what all you did wrong because I can't see your char but pls follow the guide. You can see from the comments that players have Sirius 8 on farm even with lower damage than projected.

I obviously played with 2 claws, just one of them was (now it isn't) the "right" Imperial Claw with proper mods. So I had 1 Imperial, and second was some shi*** claw.

I was squishy even with those 2 claws (when compared to my typical spell builds)

I bought second Imperial yesterday, and it seems that upgrades dps (even if it's actually lower on tooltip).

So, probably I'm stupid (I rarely play attack builds, I main witches spellbuilds), because I thought that gems are enough, but it seems that scaling from these claws is super-important.

EDIT: yeah, red tier maps bosses now melts. Yuppi! I will check when i spawn some Conquerors, to check them too. But it seems that I made horrible mistake in not-buying the second Imperial Claw earlier... :(

BTW, I made my characters visible on profile. Hope now you can tell me I'm going in right direction ;)

Not Torstein but from the look of it, your gears were even better than mine! However, have you manage to cap Chaos resistance? I found that the earlier mapping experience I had was due to -22% Chaos resist and had made Hunter boss battle a headache for me. I swap one of my ring to Circle of Nostalgia, recraft and buy a lot of headgears and boots until I max all 4 resists. After that, survivability is hell lot better.

I also learn to zoom zoom around to avoid obvious attack queue from boss to save my molten shell from running out. This is the first char I have reached T16, but dare I say, the survivability of this build is far superior than others I have tried so far during my short playtime of this game. It all comes down to when to press Molten shell for me.

I tried to craft them myself, to the point I was out of Azurite, bought some Fossils etc. Lost a lot currency this way :))

Not worth in my opinion, I bought both claws, for like 4EX both.

Well, I have negative chaos res, which is generally fine for me while playing casual softcore. Ofc your suggestion is good, I will consider some upgrades in near future, to reach max chaos res.

I try to zoom zoom ofc, not to facetank everything, especially now when I can apply the poison and just wait a second or two and those rare monsters in T14+ can be really nasty. For me there's no problem in T16 maps, the only challenge I need to face is to kill conquerors / sirius etc. with this build.

So what can I say? Build is 100% viable and really fun to play with, I just probably need to get used to it more (like I said: I rarely play attack builds, and have no experience in good positioning as a melee, while as a spellcaster I do it instinctively).
