The best claw?

I am playing dualclaw spectral throw and wondering which unique claw is the best choice in these days ..

Unique claves are good starter. Rare claws are much stronger in terms of dps (moste of the time but not always).

Physical Spectral Throw? Elemental Spectral Throw? Mathil Poisony Spectral Throw? "Spectral Throw" can encompass a pretty wide variety of builds these days, and each of them has a different answer for 'which is the best unique claw for this?'

As stated, however - unique claws often provide the best power-per-dollar ratio, getting you the best performance for a limited budget. Well-rolled rare claws will easily eclipse the power of any existing unique claw in a sheer numeric DPS sense, so if you don't need the unique item modifiers of any given unique claw then rares are your best option. Be aware that high-damage rare claws of this sort will cost you great bleeding buttpiles of currency, however.

After patch 3.1 and the vaal pact nerfs. Bloodseeker , which actually got a hefty buff in 3.0, will be the best claw imho.

Pick gladiator for blood in eyes and wear haemophilia gloves and you should be able to proc some solid bleedsplosions with spectral throw

Bloodseeker's good IF you want instant leech more than you want raw DPS, and IF it doesn't lose its instant leech in 3.1 the same way Vaal Picnic did/does/will. I don't believe it will, but stating that 'Bloodseeker is the best claw' is a bit disingenuous when we don't know if it will retain the property which people consider its best attribute. And even then, other unique claws are better for other builds. Bloodseeker's good, but without additional information I'm still going to state that a rare claw beats all current uniques in terms of sheer DPS, which is the only factor we know the OP currently cares about.

That's fair hopefully it doesn't change. I didn't see the OP mention pure DPS in that case a rare crit claw is best.

The OP didn't really mention bugger-all. Bloodseeker's a good unique claw for ST, absolutely - if he's playing physical ST. If he's playing elemental ST then all the leech on Bloodseeker is wasted, and the claw has average-at-best attack speed that makes it a less optimal fit for Elemental Buzzsaw-style builds.

The guy really needs to clarify his friggin' build already if he wants help beyond "well, high damage is good I think..."

The build is almost full physical, but with added fire damage and hatred aura, if that info changes anything. :-p
