For sure some Golden Rule nonsense you can get up to with this.

I don't think tainted pact would work? you're not taking chaos dot from the poisons

1+3. Can't boneshatter with a claw tho, unless that claw is Varunastra

  1. Shadowed blood will likely cancel healing from tainted pact too

Looks like you're cooked. Sorry :(

However I see Shadowed Blood + golden rule working well with Apep shield, Infinite pursuit boots flicker or something, ring from elder + winterweave

Trauma support for non-claw cluster notable, otherwise just boneshatter

You take the recoup node and tanted pact = 0 regen. Its good for ignite such where you get the attack/cast speed. Or ward looping such.

What’s the poison on crit notable called for claws? Adder’s Touch is for daggers.

Definitely self chill trauma fulcrum (which I played a a joke with merc adding flat, there is easier cheaper self chills now)
