[POE 3.4 Pathfinder] Infinite Fire and Cold Resis and Tankiest Uber Elder Build

NO.1 [POE 3.4 Pathfinder]Infinite Fire and Cold Resis and Tankiest Uber Elder Build
This make is tankier and more HC viable at the same time as permanent flask sustain is much easier (~25% additional flask charges which provides far more area for error with regards to flask management). As a downside never have considerably fire penetration so harm may be reduced in this version.
Becoming really really tanky to facetank Uber Elder safely in Hardcore without having even dropping under 50% HP and not dodging something. Stacking Physical harm from Hits taken as Elemental up to 97%, running higher resistances 97/97/85% Fire/Cold/Lightning and using Zerphi's Final Breath to regen Quite a bit OF Life per second. Poet's Pen Volatile Dead + Unearth is our harm source and Bodyswap might be made use of for mobility in maps. Permant flask uptime due to Pathfinders flask charge recovery just about every three second and stacking as a great deal Flask charge/effect duration modifiers
Pros:
+ Completly facetank Uber Elder
+ Permanent Flask uptime against Bosses
+ High elemental resistances 97/97/85% Fire/Cold/Lightning
+ 20k+ Life regen
+ Solid clearspeed
+ Volatile Dead is satisfying too look at and it got a MTX recently: Stygian VD
+ Permanent up to 30% IIQ and 100% IIR with Divination Distillate
Cons:
- Nullifier nemesis mod on rares removes all active flask buffs and blood rage -> dangerous
- flask management is important, if you spam your flasks during a boss fight you will run out of charges and no charges means playing without Ascendancy and therefor much less defense.
- For some people map clear and damage is too slow, imo it's enjoyable to map with in T16. Just Incursion Architects can take quite some time...

NO.3 [POE 3.4 Pathfinder]KissMeQuick's Pet Viper Strike Starter Build
This build is able to finish acts comfortably with it's original skill gems. Dual wielding is not worth it until you get Breath of The Council, meaning that you should start off with a shield.
Pros:
+ Crazy DPS - Up and beyond 5,000,000.000 DPS! W0W!
+ Forget party play, you now have 6 friends who you can map with
+ No matter what, the build will be cheap because of common uniques
+ A lot of uniques that are BiS
+ Fast as HECK and doesn't need Movement Sp
Cons:
- second Vaal Haste / Blight / Cold Snap / Lightning Trap
- So many defensive layers that I need to use a spoiler
Main Skill: VSpectral Throw
Bandit: Kill all
Pantheon:
Mjor God:Soul of Arakaal
Minor God:Soul of Tukohama
Life Recovery on Arakaali as soon as possible as it's the main reason why picking it. It increases your leech / regen / life potions by 50%.
