Background: The Venomous Fang is a weapon I've been wanting to try out for a while now for two reasons a) I adore Claw weapons and b) I really wanted an excuse to do a Poison/Bleed build and this was the perfect opportunity.

For this Build: This is a Dexterity/Arcane hybrid build that makes use of the Venomous Fang set to the Blood affinity under most circumstances to create an exceptionally powerful build with high DPS by three means: a) Successive Hit Buffs from melee attacks b) Bleed Procs for massive chunk damage and c) Deadly Poison Procs for gradual chip damage over the course of 30 seconds after proccing. The logic of this build is fairly similar: attack. The more aggressively you play, the more you are rewarded. Successive hit buffs trigger constantly from how fast Claws attack, Bleed procs will occur constantly, which triggers a 20% buff from Lord of Blood's Exultation, Deadly Poison procs tend to happen at least once or twice per fight, which would provide another 20% buff to attack power from Kindred of Rot's Exultation and with all of those buffs stacking with successive hit buffs, you've got a build that will shred under any circumstances. And that's without using the Mushroom Crown, White Mask or additional Incantation buffs. I'll elaborate on that more on "How to Improve this Build". As for the reason for the stat spread, with Blood affinity, the Venomous Fang's highest scaling stat is Dexterity at a C (scaling value: 89). Strength is its 2nd highest scaling at a C (scaling value: 68) but you'll want to ignore that and go into Arcane to increase the amount of Bleed and Poison build up the Venomous Fangs can have. With 55 Arcane, Blood Venomous Fangs has 112 Bleed Buildup and 90 Deadly Poison Buildup. Worth mentioning: for Radabeast, I switched to the Poison affinity as Radagon CAN still be be poisoned. That is also the fight were I subbed out the Exultation talismans for Ritual Sword and Green Turtle. Ultimately, this is a build that is pretty impressive in its DPS and the only thing I would say that holds it back is the Venomous Fangs have pretty lousy range even among other Claws.

How to Improve this Build: So, like some of my more powerful builds, I'll open with saying this build is pretty optimal as it is in terms of damage output but that's not going to stop me from mentioning every possible way to make this set-up ridiculous. First, using the Cragblade Ash of War would their attack power by 15%. Next, Blood Venomous Fangs have alright scaling in Strength, Dexterity and Arcane so naturally going 80 in all of the. above would make them as strong as they can be with an AR of 577 (20% stronger than this build while using Dexterity Knot). Finally, through in Golden Vow and Howl of Shabriri and just watch everything get obliterated by overwhelming DPS.
