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

" Thanarchy wrote: @Yalpe and some ppl talking about alternate qualities 1) I hesitated to pick Anomalous blood rage, how fast do you get the charges (we hit fast, but 2% chance is low..) ? Since our build is mostly (vs bosses, which is the pouint of the anomalous version) : "hit for a few second => dodge stuff while poison do its work" we won't be attacking all time ? 2) Awakened Melee Splash Support is cheap and gives more AoE (so more target hit, so more lgoh 3) Divergent Malevolence gives "increased Damage with Ailments" (basic malevolence quality = AE of aura.. !) 4) Why not Anomalous Herald of Agony ? we've already discussed it and we can agree that withering step uptime is not close to 100% vs bosses, and wayyy less when clearing ? yeah it's just a stack, but the normal herald of agony quality adds nothing ? And @Yalpe, I see u're using Vitality, I don't get how you can get it in, u turn off Crab for it ? (vs bosses ?) Blood rage is not very reliable. I'm testing it with my gloves more that has a chance to grant max frenzies. Even then, its not VERY reliable. I'd say its not worth the price. I would consider anomalous fortify and multistrike strict upgrades however. Anomalous withering step is also a requirement. Vitality combined with the watcher's eye grants life on hit that I lose with Void Fangs. It is 100% not required if you play with Imperial Claws. With everything turned on I have 56 mana left over.

" I am using Anomalous Withering Step, even unlinked it has a cd of 3 seconds and a withered time of 4.2 seconds. I think there's something I didn't understand in the build: the goal of WS is _only_ to abuse the "Inflicts (4-6) Withered Debuffs the first time each Enemy enters the Area" line ? - Just to be sure (can't confirm with game soon enough), WS buff dies even if we cast PS or VS ? - If so, that means the goal of WS is solely to be some kind of "self cast Wither AoE", like a self cast Despair would do ? I'm also using WS on left click because I thought the goal was to spam it as much as possible, I'm starting to wonder if it was a good decision (had normal Molten Shell before and I'm considering moving back to this)	Posted by Moussx#3837 on Feb 16, 2021, 7:03:02 AM Quote this Post

Its better to manually trigger it to ensure that its used at the right time.	Posted by Yalpe#3404 on Feb 16, 2021, 7:08:32 AM Quote this Post
I checked some times ago Anomalous fortify but as I understand it, it's 4% increase effect of -20% phys dmg taken ? tho : 20*1.04 = 20.8, and poe round it at 20% ? and even if it's 21%, -1% phys dmg taken isn't game breaking too Am I missing something ?

Its not only phys, its all damage from hits. Its not much but as many things in this build, it all adds up. I would not prioritise this upgrade but if you have the currency, there's no reason not to.

Yeah I get that, but we agree it's only 1% gain or Im wrong ? and when I do the maths, I'm not even sure it's 1% because as I said, with 4% it gives 20.8% reduced damage from hits, and 20.8% = 20% for poe's engine ?	Posted by Thanarchy#0786 on Feb 16, 2021, 9:07:10 AM Quote this Post
It might matter to be on the top of the DPS ladder. It looks like elevated -X% chaos res hunter helmet mod is doing a lot of work there	Posted by Moussx#3837 on Feb 16, 2021, 9:26:41 AM Quote this Post

Does pestilent strike has any benefits of using HH for faster mapping?	Posted by opotho#6862 on Feb 16, 2021, 2:15:12 PM Quote this Post
Awesome build! Any suggestion on finding an ilvl 85 hunter influence helmet with enchant? I assume Enchanted Fossil because I didnt see any on trade yet with withering step. Just FYI, flask charges with critical strike makes bosses a joke with this attack speed (permanent uptime).
