The spread is completely random, however, the more projectiles you get, the less likely it is to observe the edge case of every single projectile overlapping and the more even it will appear.

On another note, why didn't you take Perfect Agony? It seems like one of the most valuable keystones for a build like this and while 7 nodes away, you can double down jewel socket on the way and opt out of the one above Blood Drinker, bringing the cost down to 4. You can also opt out of Sleight of Hand which doesn't bring much of anything (albeit strong for 2 nodes) which drives the cost down to a meager 2 points. On my POB, it pumps up the poison damage by 18% (then subtract 4% from Sleight of Hand), well worth it.

It's already granted by Coralito's Signature.

If you pretended that flask didn't exist, it's actually still not a good cluster. For most builds, 30% effectiveness of crit multi is pretty bad, since you still have to invest into it.
Assassin is an exception here because he does more poison damage on crit and gets a lot of free crit chance awell.

Using your pastebin, Perfect Agony is only 2.4% damage per point (2.8% with diamond flask)
Let's assume that jewel is a 2-point investment, which you'd take in that case. You could subtract one skill point from the travel cost.
In that case, it's still only 2.8% (3.3%).
Sleigh of Hand gives you a total of 3.9% damage, and grants the QoL of having attack speed.

Incidentally, I'm up to 4x your initial builds damage now (without Wither). With Wither, I can almost touch 400k.

You also have 1/4 of my life recovery. Obviously I'm giving up damage by using LgoH rings.

My PoB is using a Wasp Nest an Thief's Torment, obviously it's easy to surpass.
That said, activating Frenzy Charges where you can't generate them and swapping Enfeeble for Temp. Chains doesn't mean you're dealing more damage.

Putting just the gems and configuration on even terms with my current character, you're dealing 4% more damage...
You can go higher if you get a fossil helmet with -chaos resist and a better claw.
Granted, my character doesn't have perfect gear either and is geared for taking on Uber Elder, not for dealing as much damage as possible. (and also not for Delving)

I haven't done Shaper or Elder yet, but I want to see what the cusp is.

1) Theres a socket jewel 4 points away from the scion life wheel, is it worth taking this for another wildfire jewel?

2) What are your thoughts about lycosidae vs dual delve claw (with hinekoras amulet for +1000 accuracy)

3) is having 2 elder rings with t1 lgoh really that necessary to replace thiefs torment? How much lgoh is actually necessary? Cause i was thinking of using doedres ring for an extra curse
