    Viper Strike


    Viper Strike is a claw / dagger / sword melee strike attack skill. It hits the enemy, converting physical damage to chaos damage, and applies poison, dealing chaos damage over time based on the combined physical and chaos damage dealt. It uses both weapons to deal damage if you are dual wielding.

    Skill functions and interactions

    Viper Strike applies poison with a 4-second duration on hit. Viper Strike specifically overrides the base poison duration with its own base skill duration. Increased Duration Support, Less Duration Support, Unbound Ailments Support and Swift Affliction Support all affect the duration of that poison.

    Some beneficial curses and auras for Viper Strike include Despair, Temporal Chains and Malevolence.

    Viper Strike is a Strike attack, thus:

    • Multistrike Support allows to automatically target nearby enemies for two additional strikes. Note that even though this support gem lessens attack damage, poison does not scale from attack damage modifiers.

    • Melee Splash Supportcauses Viper Strike to hit enemies around the initial target, poisoning each.

    • Ancestral Call Support , Strike Skills target an additional nearby Enemy prefix modifier on hunter-influenced gloves, and annointable passive Tribal Fury all work with Viper Strike.

    • 1.2.0
  • This skill now adds 10% of physical damage as Chaos Damage and has a 50% chance to deal 175% of the attack's damage as chaos damage over seven seconds. The effect duration won't be refreshed by new attacks, but there is no limit to how many Viper Strike debuffs an enemy can have.

  • Damage progression has been increased. It is now around 15% better at level 15 than it was in 1.0.2.
    • 1.0.2b
  • Fixed a bug where area damage bonuses would not benefit Viper Strike when supported by Melee Splash.
    • 1.0.2
  • Generic modifiers to damage dealt will now apply to damage over time that your character causes. Damage over time is not spell damage, nor attack damage, so modifiers specific to those types will not apply. Non-specific "increased damage" modifiers will apply to damage over time. Type-specific modifiers will apply as well. For example, "increased fire damage" modifiers will apply to fire damage over time.
  • Viper Strike can be supported by Melee Splash, now that the damage penalty also applies.
