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

im struggling mightily with the single target on this build. I switched from Cobra Lash to PS and I just straight skip bosses because it takes so long to kill them. What am I missing?

Do you switch out Ancestral Call for Melee Phys Support for Bosses? That's a HUGE difference in damage. If you anoint your Amulet with Tribal Fury you don't need to ever go Ancestral Call at all. But maybe get a better Amulet first, yours is some serious trash...

Otherwise: Get some more resistances on your Amulet, Boots, Helm and Rings, then swap out the Rare gloves for Fenumus Weave, also a huge damage boost.

Also why are you running wise oak? It only boosts Elemental Damage, Poison is Chaos damage, which doesn't get affected. Your "Elemental Damage with Attacks" on the Belt also does nothing for you.

Edit: just took a look at your other Gem Setups. Wtf is that?
Why do you have Void Manipulation and Unbound Ailments in your Mainhand Weapon?
Why the VS, Pierce, Vicious Projectiles in the Boots?

Look at the guide on Page 1 again and use the gems that are suggested there. If you can't afford an Enlighten Level 4 just use a level 3 and leave out culling strike. Then you should also have enough Mana for Aspect of the Spider.

Super fun build spamming t7 burials. Killed Sirus A8 with the current gear and pestilent strike with 4 deaths. Switched pestilent strike with a 10c viper strike 21/23 and killed him deathless. The constant flask uptime made it super easy. Took about 8 minutes. This is probably the best budget build I have ever played.
made some changes. Survivability went waaay up and damage is a bit better.
Anyone dying to delirium sometimes? I'm stuck on level 97 because of that. I can clear the 20 waves deathless 2/3 times. Sirus deathless A8 fairly easily but I still get one shot. I think its those damn wraiths.

Thanks to those who gave me some advice. Gone from 66 to 83 now, done uber lab, grabbed 3 cluster jewels with unspeakable gifts, fettle and enduring composure, and also grabbed a thread of hope to allocate a few notables after skimming over a few builds on poe.ninja.

Fun build. Still feeling squishy at 4.4k hp, but added in a CWDT/steelskin setup, and hoping to grab a bit more life on tree and gear soon.

Simulacrum wave 20 is very rippy so if you want to get levels either do rotas or skip it till next lvl.
Delirium also can be very unpredictable and rips can happen. It's just too much sh*t going on.

I actually want to say same thing - delirium is undpredictable. Every simulacrum is fine till one round where you get absolute worst modificators. I got 5200 HP, pretty decent items, but just cannot do 95. I have to just stop running delirium everywhere.

Simulacrum wave 20 is usually fine aside from the occasional rippy mods. I can also do 80% maps MOST of the time. But yeah, as you said its unpredictable. I was just wondering if someone had figured out how to improve survivability in them.

Cool build btw, I'm trying to min/max my items atm. Open to suggestions if someone wants to look at my stuff.

Only suggestion I have is getting a Perfect Form with +1 to Socketed Gems, should be about 1m DPS increase, and they're surprisingly cheap.

There are several up for 1ex, sometimes they go even lower. Unlinked ofc, but Fusings and Vaal Orbs really aren't expensive rn, so it's not even that big of an investment.
