[2.1] The Vipers sting - Fast clear speed, Atziri viable, cheap! - TheNumbers
 The Vipers sting! Probably not the best build! just some fun for me Who am I? I am a 2 year + experienced player who has had fun playing and testing many builds but have never made a guide myself, although I have helped make them before I feel this character deserved one! Currently I am a standard player who hasn't got the best rng so all my builds have been based on a small budget making this build as was asked to by http://www.twitch.tv/ghazzy I do sometimes stream myself but rarely due to currently being at uni: http://www.twitch.tv/kgthenumbers What is this build? This build utilises the new right side of the tree and improvements to both chaos damage and melee splash with viper strike to produce a mixture of high damage initial hits and a strong DoT, this also allows us to level and scale in 2 different manors, as I said above I have always built with a budget and this build is no different Ill explain my current gear and costs below in more detail! Pros
Spoiler
-High clear speed
-Good life regen using Bino's -Can be built for both crit and DoT -Very cheap! -Easily kills Atziri -Crit so can go vaal pact if you so wish(without bino's) Cons
Spoiler
-Can be squishy without good amount of life on gear
-Bino's is a must -it's melee, so can be risky with bad connections -cant do no regen and struggles with 50% less I don't have gg gear and will update this build as my gear improves! but here is the offensive stats with a 5l! mind you this build I'm currently level 82 but can do basically all content bar ubber and top tier maps (13+) this is without charges!  And defensive  Levelling
Spoiler
For this build I recommend levelling with bladefall or flame totem/searing bond until you can get yourself a melee splash with viper strike Tree at 20 points

Gems Main skill 4L - Viper strike - Melee splash(swap for fortify for single bosses) - Melee physical - multistrike 5l - Viper strike - Melee splash - Melee physical - Multistrike - Added fire 6l - Viper strike - Melee Splash - Melee Physical - Miltistrike - Added fire - Life leech/Increased critical 4l - whirling blades - fortify - blood magic - faster attacks 4l - increased duration - vaal grace - vaal double strike -vaal haste 4l - hatred - cast with damage taken - summon ice golem - fortify 3l - Cast with damage taken - imortal call - blood rage 3l - blasphamy - assasins mark - warlords mark (assasins for higher dps but squishier, warlords for tankier more sustain) you will want to run hatred + 1 curse! you can potentially run HoA as well if you purchase 2 enlightens and take charisma Gear 1 ex for okay roll This is the main item and is the only must! this is due to the way it works with poison and viper strike being guaranteed to poison Highly recommended: costs around 1 ex for good roll Rats nest offers insane increase in DPS, Can be swapped for a high evasion life and res helm if you feel too squishy cost me 2 ex Amazing all round chest piece, evasion or evasion armour roll is best, but if you cant get one go for a high life res and evasion chest piece shield - use a shield to compensate for life and often strength and int problems Gloves - Go for attack speed, life and res primarily and if you can get an added damage with accuracy they are bonuses! Boots - This is where I get most of my resistances from so get the best resistance and life boots! move speed doesn't matter to much as you will whirl everywhere Belt - Life life and more life I need not say more Rings- this is where you get the rest of your res and some life and damage if you can, these vary in price depending on quality but alright rings you can get for around 20c Neck - Finally this is where your last bit of life and damage comes in, but this will be where that extra bit of strength or int comes in! flasks - If you can get yourself some legacy surgeon flasks then your in luck! if not try get surgeons anyways as you will crit a lot! Thanks for checking my first ever build! please tell me what you think and what you'd like to see and if you want to see more of my builds! They tend to be more for casual players who like to have fun! feel free to add me in game! samthelionheart Thanks! KGTheNumbers Last edited by sam9783 on Jan 8, 2016, 6:26:13 AM
