----------------------------------------


The base duration poison of viper strike is 4 seconds and lets melee boss with limited attack windows with extremely long poison duration, allowing us to scale faster ailments if desired

Increased poison duration for each poison recently charm is the most power creep for poison in the history of the game and allows for incredible poison builds despite recent poison nerfs. 

Configuration of poisons applied recently on this POB:
- Attacks per second (main and offhand each apply poison) = 9.24*2 = 18 (rounding down)
- 4 seconds ("recently") of 18 poisons per second = ***72*** poisons applied recently if attacking for 4 seconds uninterrupted

Nearly 3 million damage per poison (20 second poison duration with 20% faster poison damage node) when ramped with 18 poison applied per second lets you dodge mechanics when needed and boss as melee

----------------------------------------

HC Bossing:
Eternal damnation and loreweave setup is approximately 20 million dps on pinnacle bosses, 6.4million uber dps on paper; boss mechanics will rarely allow for uninterrupted bossing as the video showcase demonstrates

----------------------------------------

Deterministic Claw crafting (4 divine bench cost):
- ilvl 83+
- Ideally fractured T1 DOT multi claw
- Attack speed essence (Zeal)

Annul to 2 suffixes - IAS + DOT multi (and one open prefix) -> 3 crafted mods + suffixes cannot be changed -> reforge chaos

Guaranteed claw with T1 chaos damage and your three suffixes (DOT multi, IAS, 3 crafted mods)
- Bench craft Chaos + skill duration and hits cannot be evaded

If no DOT multi fracture on void fangs, Zeal Essences until T1 DOT multi (1 in ~100), annul to 2 suffixes and 1 open prefix, same steps as above

----------------------------------------

Gear cost in affliction HC:
- Claws 6 and 8 div respectively with all costs accounted for
- Helm, gloves and boots 2-6 div each depending on luck with suffixes
- 6L covenant cheap in MF league, self double corrupt not needed
- Amulet 2-4div
- Rings 4-6 div each
- Charms variable
- Flame and Flesh not required and often 1 of a kind in HC. Alternatives would be Watcher's eye and TWWT or rare jewel

Cost ~50div in AHC with self crafted gear
