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

Personally i hate Blade Vortex. Feels like "floating" and i don't like that.

Me too. And honestly, you know I love your build anyway, no matter what other builds are out there :D

Great league starter. Start buying cards during leveling!

That's probably more because Assassin, not because Blade Vortex. There are a couple of BV Pathfinder builds, for example with golden rule / apep supremacy and I expect them to be tankier but lower damage than "explode everything" Assassin.

Yeah true, he was playing Assassin!

For Pestilence Strike at the start of the league, what would you say is the best 4 and 5 socket setup?

Looks like Ancestral Cry could be interesting for Viper Strike's clear speed. Ideally you'd want it to be instant though so it might not be worth it.

I will update the leveling section before league start.

Need to add also Vennto's post how to level the char early.

Just took a glance at new Warcries. Seems to be they are not that great as they seem because of cooldowns that are almost doubled.

We'll see.

I'm only level 30, but with my tabula rasa and pestilent strike, I'm starting to have mana issues. Is there anything I'm missing, or should I just invest in some mana flasks?

Inferior to Blade Vortex poison?

Yes. A friend of mine was playing Poison BV and his Dmg is just insane. He reaches numbers not only I, but no one from this chat ever reached. Doesn´t make the build bad, it just has limits it cannot surpass. But thats totally okay, since it is a GREAT build Overall.

btw, will be league-starting next Season with your Death Angel :-)

Having played Assassin BV before: The clear feels like shit until you get an explodey chest (Which is definitely expensive) and even with an explodey chest, it's nowhere near PF. The build is very, VERY squishy. Elusive is a terrible source of survivability because it decreases constantly. Bossing as an Assassin feels annoying because you're very liable to blow up suddenly.

So yeah, even if the OMGWTF DPS numbers are there, both clearing and bossing feel awkward as hell. It blows up conquerors fast but that's about it. The guy who can pop a 40k Molten Shell in the middle of Sirus last phase and trivialize the fight is going to be a better bosser anyways.

As an aside, with all the new focus on big slow hits and the like, would it be possible to work out 2h poison using 2h swords and viper strike? It feels like spreading a massive stack of poison through PF could lead to great clear. Dunno if it's really viable though.
