[3.7] Viper Strike Pathfinder

Hi thedeathbeam,

Could you please add passive tree level by level in PoB.
Eg, passive tree 1->25, 26->48 ....
When I see "100 (see drop down)", I think you add leveling passive trees like that but when I click on it, I do not see anything.

Ah yeah, sorry. I usually add 60,70,80,90,100 for all my builds, but forgot to finish them for this one (that is why there is the see dropdown part). I will try to add them either today or tomorrow.

Total noob looking to try out new builds. A few itemization questions. Any synergy with haemophilia gloves - 25% DOT, explosions for added clear? does bleeding matter at all? Also I was trying to theorycraft a chaos melee in general - breath of the council is like 350pDPS mace and 80-100% chaos dmg. Has anyone ever seen a mace + chaos based melee build? Or the ailment nodes for claws on the passive tree are what make it shine? Like focusing more on the hit and less on the ailment? Again may be really basic questions but the game can be... overwhelming. Thanks!

Exploding corpses is counter-productive, because from my testing it breaks poison prolif from Nature's Reprisal unfortunately.

Not sure about maces, they are kind of bad, and also generic chaos attack builds are kind of bad. Poison is decent-ish, but otherwise people either go pure phys or ele.


Anyway, small update to the build:

- Removed Ancestral totem
- Added Blood Magic link to movement setup
- Added War Banner
- Removed Enlighten
- Changed Precision to lvl 1

All these changes are mostly QoL, as I found out that casting both Ancestral and Wither totems is very annoying.

Blood Magic on movement is for easy sustained movement.

Precision level change is to make build cheaper (no need for enlighten), and also to get nice adrenaline boost from War Banner on bosses.

Main post is already updated with new pob link.

Tried to PoB it, Viper strike doesn't even work with maces LOL! I did warn you - noob questions ;) Thanks for the reply.

Poison is anyway mostly strong with just claws and bows.

Anyway, another small update to the build:

Replaced Vaal Haste with Vaal Grace for even more survivability. This lowers the build DPS by a bit (from 9M to 8M), but it is still really a LOT of DPS, and the extra survivability from Vaal Grace is just too good to pass imo.

Main thread is already updated with new PoB as well.

What is the price range in exa?

Will you be making an uber elder killing video?

Well, for "core" pieces:
2x Wasp's Nest - 1c each
Embalmer - 1 alch
Bubonics - 1 chaos
Witchfire Brew - 2 chaos
Coralito's Signature - 1 alch

Crafting high end version really depends on crafting cost of those 2 Gemini Daggers. Ideally, with Aberrant, Corroded and Metallic fossils it should not be that bad, but it is is possible it will be multiple exalts worth of crafting.

Malevolence Watcher's Eye with ailment mod is like 1 exalt atm.

Viper Strike enchant is around 25c atm (on Starkonja).

Rest of the gear is just rares with some life, resists and phys damage, nothing expensive (unless you want to push multiple t1 life rolls everywhere, but that is absolutely not necessary).

And yeah, well, after I will level up this char I will try to make some more vids with endgame bosses.

I am at level 43 now. I feel that we lack of AOE damage especially with frozen monster of legion league. Because we can sustain virulent stack, sh Should we increase AOE damage with 5 link combo?:
Embalmer Gloves
Herald of Agony
Minion Damage Support
Pierce Support
Maim Support

Nah, I dont think 5 link HoaG is worth it in this build (mainly after it was nerfed last league).

For frozen legion, yes it is kind of bad atm, but that is expected, because Nature's Reprisal do not works with it, yet. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Also, for general clear, you ideally want Ancestral Call and Melee Splash as links, that improves it drastically (mainly on frozen legion).
