Hello! This is an idea I’ve had for a long time and now It’s time to share it!
The Chaos Retaliation concept has remained almost unexplored by the community so here’s some inspiration for you.
→ Chaos Retaliation Bomberman ←
The Sentinel of the Three set has chaos damage support, and being an acid retaliation set I wondered how could I use it to my advantage. Conveniently, this amulet adds 100% acid to chaos conversion to BoD. Now we would need a class that supports both Chaos and Retaliation damage, and that class is Pyromancer.
Gear explanation:
Weapon: adds rata to Grenado
Shield: flat acid retal, %retal damage, %chaos damage, cdr
Head: flat fire retal, +skills, adds rata to Canister Bomb, Granted skill has rata.
Chest: flat acid retal, %retal damage, %chaos damage
Shoulder: flat acid retal, %retal damage, %chaos damage
Pants: flat fire retal.
Gloves: flat acid retal.
Boots: %chaos damage, proc provides flat chaos retal.
Belt: fire to chaos conversion.
Amulet: acid to chaos conversion. Build Enabler.
Rings: fire to chaos conversion, chaos RR. Flat acid retal.
Medal: converts physical damage to chaos for grenado. (I’m assuming it also converts the physical rata to chaos)
Devotions:
Solael’s Witchblade: Chaos RR
Messenger of War: flat fire retal, which gets converted to chaos.
Alladrah Phoenix: flat fire retal, which gets converted to chaos.
Ulo: Cleansing Waters. Replace with Solemn Watcher If you wanna be tankier.
Obelisk of Menhir: %retal bonuses, good defensive proc
Dying God: %chaos damage, proc provides flat chaos retal.
Active Skills:
Grenado: Main dmg skill. Both normal damage and rata boosted. has 52% rata and 36% cd reset chance.
Canister Bomb: AoE rata skill. Has 36% cd reset chance.
Flame Breath (item granted): 55% rata on 2.5sec cd.
Thermine Mine: Chaos RR.
Blackwater Cocktail: Flat RR.
Solael’s flame: Chaos RR.
Bloody Pox: Fevered Rage.
Don’t forget to take Consecrated Blade in Occultist to convert 30% phys retal to chaos.
Final Words
About 2k %chaos damage (with dying god proc) and 1200% retal damage should make grenado a good nuke. Build lacks other healing source besides BoD and potions but hopefully Stone form + 15/12 Blast Shield + Phoenix will make up for it.
