Pale Nails spins out a flurry of homing talons that seek out nearby enemies, a strong late-game Silk Skill for pressuring foes you cannot easily reach. It is found atop The Cradle in Act 3, obtained by binding the Grand Mother Silk's Arm, and reaching it requires the Silk Soar upgrade. Its Silk cost can be trimmed with the right tool for players who chain it often. It pairs naturally with the Shaman Crest for a full caster build.
