playing around with enigma, got myself 3 hate keys and 3 terror keys, never really farmed nihlithak before but I have seen clips of HC barbs getting insta killed and not even by nihlithaks 1hit ko corpse explosions, but the vipers..Do you know if the stormshield negates some of the snakes dps, or is that all poison
The tomb vipers' bugged cloud damage is a series of physical damage ticks stacked over a short space of time. If you get caught by one you can hear that rapid-fire "tick-tick-tick". If it's an element-enchanted pack I think it'll add that in there too. The poison damage is miniscule in comparison to the physical damage that can stack up.
Percentage-based DR will help some but integer DR is more effective, from what I've heard.
As MickeyBricks said a far safer tactic is just not run through the clouds, as moving through them triggers that absurd damage. It sounds counter-intuitive but if you find yourself stood in the middle of a tomb viper cloud (or more than one, God forbid) the best thing to do is stand still.
As for the corpse explosion risks, Nature's Peace will sort you out
