[3.4] ELE CLAW INQUISITOR | Farm Shaper on 3Link! + UberElder, UberAtziri | very Budget friendly!

Awesome news Gorno! I look forward to start with this build.

At harbinger, I played most of the time with ur build and its fun, strong and fast.

Can I request something? Can you find us better movement skill than shield charge? I dont like that because its noisy and cant jump higher or lower grounds.

I was thinking about using this build as starter for next league but with VP nerf and the other changes i'm not so sure anymore .. guess we just have to wait for the patch notes and see ..

Im actually very happy with the annoucments so far. I was begging for VP to be nerfed for ages. It LONG OVERDUE.

I dont know if any of you ever tried speccing out of VP and see the diffrence for yourself. Its not that bad if it wasnt for reflect.

According to the ZiggyD inverview with Rory, any source of reflect outside of the map mod will become "dodgeable".

With decent leech rate and the "new VP" I quite positive this build can still facetank shaper beam and pretty much anything it facetanked before the nerf.

Claws have quite big instant leech from "life on hit" anyways.

This friday I will update the entire build. So far It looks like we will dodge most the huge nerfs.

Great news! I really want this one to be enjoyable with all content because I totally loved the build in Mayem (figure .. ;)) althou only up to lvl 68 (finished game and tried a few maps) with 5 links and a crappy claw ;-P

I quote myself refering to the vaal pact change:

These days, i tried all 4 guardians (rare maps) and shaper WITHOUT VAAL PACT.
If i remember right, i died in all 4 maps at least 1 time. Sometimes to nasty mobs, sometimes to the guardians. Some deaths are avoidable.
I killed shaper deathless without vaal pact.

Didnt tried uber, because its so expensive. If the patch notes are released, i will try uber atziri too, but i think it will be very hard. the most difficult part will be the trash i guess.

If anyone lend me a uber atziri set, i will try it before the patch notes. ;)

EDIT:
I couldn't wait and bought a uber atziri set in harbinger.
I did the complete alluring abyss WITHOUT VAAL PACT and died 1x to the trio.
I runned herald of ice + herald of thunder instead of wrath.
For trash i replace elemental focus with increased crit strikes.

My biggest concern is, that they chance the complete blade flurry mechanic (the stages, more damage, etc.). Now it means: Wait till Thursday for the patch notes.

YOU DONT NEED VAAL PACT TO KILL SHAPER/UBER ATZIRI!
Dont think the patch notes tomorrow change that.

So, patchnotes are up.

So far, beside the vaalpact nerf I did not see any change that affects this build. Or am I blind?

Begging for opinions, ladies and gents!

The lycosidae shield drop rate got nerfed. Without the shield should we opt for RT? If so how does that affect our "Crit"?

Can we consider losing one prefix on the weapon and crafting it vagans "hits cant evade" if RT is not an option? or should we use a statstick in off hand and craft it with vagans or simply increase accuracy?

What do you guys think about using Bloodseeker Hellion's Paw?

Played this build this season selffound.
I did guardians (suck at movement) but not shaper.

Equip now at end of season:




Alltogether I didn't get half the damage the build creator had, only a few somewhat good items as the claw, the amulett and the gloves(lucky chaos craft with 5 chaos).

The claw "costed" about 200 alchs, used on white claws. I set the item filter to them, then a lucky annulment orb to enable speed and finally 2 slams for more elemental damage.

The amulet was just a find in early maps - didn't get anything better the whole season. The shield I had to force with ancient orbs.

Carcass jack took about 400 fusings to 6-link.
For boot enchant I chosed the ice damage when hit, since I could need some additional damage with trash, and in boss fights it is on most time, too.

I took less jewel slots and more elemental damage in stead, since my crafted jewels sucked.

All items the character has are found with him on the way to 92, I don't have an additional magic finder.

These thought for someone planning to play this build selffound next season.


Thank you for the build idea, let's see what I play next season.

Itsa physical claw and this is an ele build. The DPS loss could be sigificant. But the OP showed how it can be done with a nailed fist lvl1 item. So it may not be too bad if its leech acts ass vaal pact

My bad. Hits cant be evaded is a signature mod not a craftable mod.

So a statt stick like the unique Gut Ripper "Ornament of the East" https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Ornament_of_the_East could be used as a stat stick? or even on main hand?

First of all. Im quite impressed we pretty much dodge every possible big nerf. The lycosidae droprate will increase the overall cost of the build.

But we actually have to see how low the actual droprate is. My guess is, that it will end up being a 1-5ex item. Given it is one of the most important items for the build this will overall increase the build cost.

I will look into good alternative solutions to bridge the gap while saving up for lycosidae at the start of the league and tell you what I came up with tomorrow.
