Notes

Start with dual claws right from the town, take Molten Strike as reward.
You will update your claws around levels
~lvl 12 take dual Awl's
~lvl 22 Blinder's or Cat's Paws
~lvl 30 Sparkling Claw's
~lvl 46 Gouger or Gut Rippers
~lvl 64 Eye Gouger's
Craft claws with adequate level of elemental Essences. Just get any added elemental damage on it (fire/cold/lightning) while leveling.
Getting into maps use Imperial Claw's.

Roughly when you start mapping or earlier if lucky, 5L body armor is needed for Crit Transition.
