You’re killing it and I’m enjoying the walkthrough very much! Ty for posting it.

My hc ssf sin is lvl 99 and I wanted to shout-out about the claws. The only mods that really help are Phoenix strike, claws of thunder, blades of ice, and weapon block. If you got +fade on both claws that would help too. Here are the reasons that the various second mods don’t help-

+3 fade on one claw: casting fade on your cta + spirit switch = Identical effectiveness

+X to dragon flight: if you’re charging up Phoenix strike and you go too far to 3 charges, instead of the 2 charges you want, you can switch to your CTA swap and cast 1 dragon flight and it’ll bring you back down to the 2 charges of Phoenix strike (that’s why it’s OP to always charge your PS first). But you can’t do that if you only have dragon flight granted by the mosaic claw. It doesn’t sound like much but I promise it’s easier than starting from scratch again.

+X to shadow warrior/master: this one could be borderline still good. If you’re granted the skill from the claws only, the shadow will die every time you switch in order to BO yourself. And ofc the shadow won’t get BO either and will die more often.

Good luck bro! I hope you find lots of greater claws, greater talons and scissors quhab!!!!

Ty for insight, appreciate :)
I'm collecting claws with Phoenix strike on, just haven't posted them yet.
About the charges thing, I honestly don"t understand yet what I need to charge or not. Haven't played the build at all, not even on the server. But ya I heard about 2nd PS charge being the best.
But I think I'll still use DF on claw and will have to properly buff charges instead of relying on swaps. I will not use all my skills before tests are done so I can see what I'm lacking.
Curious to see how you ended up with skills, fist of fire lvl ? kicks lvl ? Max fade or treachery ? tiger strike ?

All caught up on the walk through, killin it man! Ggs!

I'm an avid mosaic assassin (both SP and Ladder) and thought I'd chime in with my charge order

2 pheonix strike
3 cobra
3 CoT
3 BoI
3 Tiger

To add to what MagillaGorilla was saying, having dragon flight to lose the thrid pheonix will save you a lot of running back and forth checking if you've made it to 2 PS charges. Just full send until full 3 charge swap and dragon flight to lose one without claws equipped then switch back and full send the rest of charges. Typed out it seems convoluted but once you're running mosaics you'll see what I mean.

There's my unsolicited 2 cents, very much look forward to the next update! GL and SS!

Beg to differ, if any claws gives any to fade you don't need to put any hard point into it
