[3.21] 🌿Ultimate Claw Poison Pathfinder - Untouchable Viper - Molten Strike update by FEL

Played viper strike in Harvest and trying out cobra lash now. One thing I learned is that the duration of the poison proliferation is locked in and is not scaled by unbound ailments - I found mapping was better without it was better in high density maps - would switch it out for big bosses.

Couple of quick notes since it seems like there are quite a few newer players trying the build...

On Plague Bearer as an option - this scales off your poison damage. If you follow the (very nice) FAF leveling guide with CA/TR, your main damage will be chaos but not poison, and PB won't help you until you switch to claws and one of the core skills.

Also note that you can't scale PB damage with any normal damage-boosting supports that I can think of. So even though PB does chaos damage (that is not poison afaik), you shouldn't put a support like Void Manipulation on it. To boost your PB damage, you need to boost the poison damage coming from your main skill including getting your chance to poison to 100%.

On SSF, for anyone not using Perfect Form (whether Trans or budget build) and wanting to take Phase Acro off a small Thread of Hope, it's worth noting that you can Divine the size of the ring.

Between Harvest and Ritual, this is going to be a pretty good league for SSF. We are not all going to find HeadHunters as tribute rewards, but you will probably find something useful - perhaps a unique flask or that Thread of Hope.

I am having a blast playing this build - one of my favorite league starts so far.

I feel like I am reaching a plateau of knowledge on knowing what will yield the biggest upgrades (it is probably obvious but I am not seeing it). I am noticing t10s and up are really slowing down pace wise.

If anyone has an extra moment to view my profile I would really appreciate the help. Mainly aiming for an upgrade path I can start working on.

Start with witchfire flask

The fact that this build can just stand in shit like this and live lol.

Should I multimod this claw or wait for harvest remove non-chaos, add chaos?

I know the base is not great, but I am on private league and desperately need a boost as I am pushing t15-16maps.

HI, its me again :D. Is there a chance to find militant faith jewels, which arent corrupting one of the three notables or is it a good find if only one gets corrupted. Is there a rule for it like =>8000 has no influence etc?

Not sure on the multimod, but before you apply any chaos (augment or non-chaos to chaos) make sure your suffixes are full.
Otherwise you might hit chaos res or other suffix chaos mods.

There is no rule regarding the numbers. Just that any specific number does the same for everyone. So if you know the number of one that you know that is good (because someone else has it), you can try to search trade for it.
Other than that its just try and error.
If you are on trade league you can just buy and sell them all day long.

Edit: The wiki (https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Militant_Faith) says it changes notables or only add +5 devotion on them.
I feel like this was talked about in the thread a few weeks/months earlier.

Edit 2: Found it: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2639074/page/259

Having trouble dying too frequently in red maps (T15). I'm looking for advice on which direction to go into so I can do red maps with ease.

I'm level 90. I've got wasps nests and a 5L Perfect Form. Flask set up mirrors the set up on the guide. 12k armor. Embalmer gloves.

I can't afford Enlighten 3 or 4, nor Fenmus gloves, nor circle of nostalgia, so I have no aspect of the spider.

Is that why I keep dying in red maps? I'm doubtful, if that's why. I feel like I'm missing something.

Is my dps too low and I'm not killing fast enough before I get killed? Should I invest in better claws or a 6L. Kind of hoped to be tankier than this at this point. Feels kind of weird to have to jump to a multi exalt upgrade to survive in a t15 map.

Edit: I have 4444 hp.

You need a Alchemist's Jade Flask of Adrenaline which gives waaaaay more armor than the flask you are using

Great. Didn't realize I misread the flask prefix. That helped a little. I'm still struggling. And dying in t14 maps so consistently I can't hit 91%.

I spent the rest of my currency on circle of nostalgia. And I really don't know what to do about this.

I'm pretty frustrated not knowing how to proceed or not knowing why I'm having such a hard time. Lots of deaths. Very slow boss killing. Am I relegated to doing max t11-ish content to eternity until I farm enough for the transcency version? I doubt it. I must be doing something wrong.

Please help.

Your jade flask needs to have the suffix of reflexes. make sure you are popping it before your witchfire.
