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

I crafted two items and I am not sure which is the better one:

or


The second one is missing the flat chaos but has phys to chaos convert and increased dmg with poison. I am not sure how scalling exactly works here. I am using PS.

I could craft increased Chaos dmg or inc Chaos dmg + skill effect dur or weapon chaos pen instead of inc phy dmg.

Any ideas?

edit.. not relevant

Apologies in advance for the noob question, but I am a little confused on the wep crafting.

One line suggests "Aberrant, Corroded and Metallic fossils with Powerful resonators", then another part says "To craft perfect claws you will use 3 fossils: Aberrant, Corroded and Shuddering with the Powerful Resonators."

I'm really new to crafting on POE so not sure which variation is correct, or are they both viable options?

I'm currently struggling to progress into T12/T13 maps with the build and I can only put this down to my current unique claws.

Thanks in advance.

First fossil combo is best to get 2 crucial mods, added chaos and more poison damage.

Second fossil combo is better if you want to target attack speed with it.

I don't know if I'm making mechanical mistakes but I am still dying occasionally. I don't know how I can improve my defenses further. For example, I usually die twice at least to the hunter and at least three times to Veritania. Drox is fine and the other guy is butt clenching but I can usually handle him. Right now I have to wait until my level is done before I do the conquerors... Its quite annoying...

Must be your fault. My guess is that you used Vaal Molten Shell before the conqueror fight. I dont see how they can kill you thru 30k buffer.
Also vs Al-Hezmin dont step into the poison pool in the triangle, degen is too high and you'll die.

Ok, Alt spamming, was definitely the right call, that was ridiculously easy

Maybe you should consider changing the crafting section in the guide, alt spamming seems to be much more reasonable than fossil crafting for the helmet.

How did you craft it exactly?

I gifted lots of top claws and helmets last league xD

First one is better. As you can see in the guide, 2 most vital rolls are added chaos and more poison damage.

Bought the ilvl 86 Regicide Mask with 40% Pesti Strike Damage for 1ex.
Slammed Hunter's Exalted Orb onto it.
Started Alt Spamming it looking for "Nearby enemies have -9% to chaos resistance"
Used an Orb of Augmentation when i hit it. Got crap, tried to annul it, Annuled the -chaos resist instead.
Kept alt spamming until i hit it again.
Orb of Augmentation => Tier 1 life (lucky I guess)
Regal Orb => T1 Fire Resist (lucky again)
Mastercrafted Life/Evasion Hybrid Mod onto it
Then Exalt slammed it twice, got me Dexterity and the crappy Evasion/ES Hybrid Mod.

I guess I was lucky with the continued crafts, but i hit the -9% Chaos resist twice in ~400 Alts, so that seems a little better to me than fossil crafting, which is WAY more expensive to begin with

Edit: In hindsight it would have probably been better to multimod craft it after i had -chaos Resist/T1 Life/T1 Fire Res, maybe I shouldn't have done this at 4 in the morning :D

How many fusings did it take you guys to 6 L? I'm through 89 and still nada.

Double post.

I've tried 6 linking two chests this league and I've spent well over 1k fusings by now, 89 is very low, and those that get a 6l in under 100 are very very lucky.

Hey guys, I've got just over 3 Exalted Orbs to spend on my build, however not quite sure where I can get the biggest upgrades. Any thoughts? Gear is below:






I do seem to struggle leveling up past level 90, I get to around 15-20% through the level and then get killed. Any help greatly appreciated :).

4.7K HP
Capped Resistances (6% Chaos Res)
11.2k Armour (just under 30K Vaal Molten Shell)

No warding flask (curse immunity), that's why you die. Make Chemist's Silver flask of Warding like in the guide.

Also you have 0 movement speed on boots.

More life will help also.

I made 2 with fossil crafting and it really didnt take that long. Probably 9-10 crafts for each.

Also, were those alts you had saved? Because alts are not cheap right now. They are a little over 4 to 1 right now. Yes, its crazy this league. 4.3 alts per chaos. So you spent around 94 chaos alt spamming that if you used 400.

A fossil craft is about 5 chaos per craft. So, you could have done 18 or 19 fossil crafts for the same amount of alts you used. And crafting site says its generally 1/48 for 70+ life and -9. And its generally a 200 chaos cost in crafting mats before you get it.

Alts, for 70 life and -9, is 1/3200, and has an average cost of about 1300 chaos orbs to pull off. If you are just going for -9 resist, its about 1/320, and a 100 chaos orb cost on average to get -9.

So overall, I think if all you care about is -9, then alts is ok. But if you want life and possible resists, I'd stick to fossils.

For reference, if you guys dont know the site im t alking about.

I think its more a case you got lucky, lol. I did the same thing wiht a pair of a gloves. I hit Chaos damage over time and Strike skills additional 1 on gloves with just alts. Thats like 1/32000, lol. And I had been up forever, awake at 5am, and I didnt even think about multi-modding them so I regaled some junk life regen on it, kinda bricked them, and sold them off. I should have multi-modded them; they would have been better than what I'm wearing.

I still think most people will have more success fossil crafting the helm, because they will end up with a better item most of the time. But if all you really care about is -9 and dont mind crafting 60 life on it, then alts will be cheaper on average by half. But, its an end-game item; I'd just go for a good roll, personally. Helm is like one of htose things you start finishing the build with, so I personally wouldn't skimp on it with just -9 and some life crafted on it. I'd take my shot at a good one.
