Projectile speed will simply give you more range with GMP. Projectile damage is way more important for killing endgame bosses.
Also projectile speed will make the claws travel further when you're using slower projectiles which will reduce their damage on the return hit due to point blank.

Has anyone thought about swapping the claw nodes for 1hand nodes and using Oni-goroshi? this being a pure phys build. I would think you could maybe drop some of the crit for Lava Lash, Primeval Force, and Force of Nature for good ele pen and fire dmg boost

So you think the projectile speed from the Sniper talent makes the damage from the same talent not good enough? It's 2 points for 30% projectile damage.

Is it just me or is this build really challenging to kill bosses as while leveling? I've never struggled so much killing early bosses in this game as I am with Spectral Throw.

Also, is this build considered glass cannon or squishy when you get to mapping? I tend to play tankier builds like cyclone/sunder/block or totem/necro. Just trying to decide if I want to continue leveling or not.

Thanks for the guide, very well written and organized.

The build is really good later on, yea boss fight while leveling is somewhat challenging but can be solved if you get the recommended unique claws in the gear guide. Once u get Ornament of the east, its a breeze till lvl 60 when you can get wasp nest which is good enough to map till high lvl maps. Also swapping GMP with slower projectiles increases ur dps while killing boss. I havent tho switched the gem as the claws dmg was enough till T7 map. Just need upgrading gear but since I play casual its hard getting currency to buy those high life gears.

Hi sir,

Firstly I do want to say thank you for the detailed guide. I find the build enjoyable and it was strong throughout the questing experience. The only levels I would say I struggled was around the 30-45 range but that was because I did not read the part about what claws to get as leveling.

However where I am now is where I am struggling and it is the part I usually struggle. It is where I start going into mid tier maps 4-6. It is mostly cause I am a very causal player and do not always make the right decisions when it comes to gear choices(it is what makes path of exile both beautiful and brutal).

My question is what gear piece would you recommend I replace next? I feel my setup is somewhat balanced but I can feel it struggling and I am not sure what I should go for next? Are there any pieces that has a red flag that you would say replace this immediately cause it is garbage?


Again thanks for the fantastic build.

Kind regards,
Gerrit.
