Occultist’s Solael Witchblade have weird transmuter called Consecrated blade. It’s only function is to convert small portions of physical damage to chaos. Since mechanics don’t allow to remove transmuter skill, I suggest some extra boost to make it more desirable.
I mean conversion isn’t bad at all but the things is values are really low but more importantly Abomination have 50% on the proc and some skills have inbuilt 100% physical to chaos. So good idea to buff it or add extra effect.
While we are at chaos subject Darkblaze Ammo belt is still missing %chaos value.
If nothing else, some bonus % Chaos or Flat Chaos damage would go a long way for what has long been a mediocre transmuter at best, and a waste of three skillpoints at worst.
Even better, Magical->Chaos conversion would be swell; perhaps a skill-based source of Vitality or Fire -> Chaos, independent of gear?
15% phys conversion is usual for an exclusive, in here it comes separately which is actually kinda useful, for when you wanna take possession on a non-chaos build.
The problem is it doesn’t have any real use now because of poor chaos itemization: those rare chaos weapons with phys base are pretty bad.
I find that doubtful as large quantities of flat damage is kind of the calling card of Chaos (and Acid) - see Rah’zin and Harbinger, neither of which are too strong - but perhaps for how early it could be available it may be too good for weapon-based Occultists.
I’d see the same stat added for pets. Since Witching Hour and Voidwhisper ring nerfs long - and pet nerfs all across the board - chaos pets lost a little bit too much of their offensive potential in my opinion. Chaos pets used to be the very fastest action build - the ultimate steamroller. Don’t wanna have them as op as before - just provide an alternative to most pets builds now which are all about losing aggro and going to sleep.
