I absolutely love chaos builds and this is what I have so far. I dont like FoI, which is why i went with aegis/DB.
Honestly idk if im even using the set right. I focused on vitality for the DoT on menhir, and i guess DB would be like a nuke. What Im aiming for is to at least consistently clear SR 75-76 on elite (which believe it or not does require some investment)
I think my OA/DA are lacking and maybe i need a spam attack or another skill to use in between the aegis/DB. not really sure where to go from here. I would greatly appreciate if someone more than knowledgeable than me can help!
EDIT: updated GT link with bero amulet for 26/16 aegis and augments
Maybe a Riftwarped Grasp & a Conduit of Divine Whispers with -%Chaos RR?
If you want to go more heavily into chaos, I mean.
Whilst you probably should decide on one primary damage type it also seems like going the pure vitality route on this one will leave you with not enough flat damage on you skills and the pure chaos route with not enough RRâŚ
no, i dont even bind it to a skill, but its point efficient. i cant find any other way to get those 3 beeg beeg devotions (abomination+dying god+witchblade).
try using exterminus gun, +1 both classes and aoe resist reduction! also for conduit i went with -15rr to bloody pox itâs way better than guardian rr and you probably want bloody pox with wasting max to fix DA on voidsoul sent. rr to curse would be preferable too
personally i didnt try abom+god setup, but dont think itâs all that great. sure it makes ur shield throw hit supe hard, but we got 0 cdr for it and aegis is our only way to use it and it has lengthy cd just donât get much use out of it. can go time dialation/dying god setup for aegis/bolt resets. or dying god + lots of procs with flame torrent/fissure to help aoe clear/single target dmg during CDs
also blood sigil medal is fun for chaos vires might for something to do between bolts/aegis
https://www.grimtools.com/calc/mN4anwR2 I have no idea if this would work but can you convert the chaos on doom bolt back to vitality ? Like with this axe? Then youre at one damage type.
Regarding the devotion setup: I, too, would probably stay away from Abomination; maybe you could go for some of those awesome defensive shield devos instead? By taking Revenant over Manticore for RR, you can really save some points on the Eldritch side of things
@TomoDaK Yeah, that Conduit of Eldritch Whispers-prefix is totally superior to the divine one, I totally forgot about that! And that gun is definitely worth testing out, too
i cant fit both pox and vires so i just went with pox since i need the pierce res on the medal. i think either one would work. i did change the amulet, weapon, and devo to do god+hourglass. sucks bc abom is so much sheet OA and dmg though.
Not really sure if binding DB to Hourglass is the right choice because of unreliable 20% of activation,
especially when striking only one target (Lokarr, SR).
True - apart from that, though, this setup starts to look better and better
@stefan429 I just tinkered around with your grimtools a little more over dinner, trying to expand on your CD-reduction-theme. Going for Path of the Three might just be a little too greedy, though; Possession on 20/12 is quite awesome both due to its huge damage reduction and the flat chaos dmg
A few notes regarding my other changes:
this build really needs more OA, 2.6k without Ascension is really low and makes the juicy %crit dmg from dying god kind of useless. Whilst a higher Ascension uptime with Hourglass devo definitely helps, I also added an âof attackâ-suffix on the medal (is that realistic in your case? Anything with OA or even cunning might already do the job), Barbaros Pants (damn, the chaos support s*cks in that department) & Viper devotion.
The number of devotion procs seems too high. I know, this is counterintuitive, but if you donât have enough/ decent enough skills to trigger them, just taking devos with great stats (like Shieldmaiden) instead of something like Bat (you already have a lot of AdctH & Fiend does way more damage with all your conversion) should be better (I think).
Sidenote: Vireâs Might is a pretty decent devotion proccer, in case you didnât know.
The relic. Not entirely sure about this one. Whilst Serenity offers great defense, I think you can allow yourself to go for more damage. Skill point starvation doesnât really seem to be a problem either.
The boots. Slow res is way overcapped with Timewarped Walkers; phys & aether res is great, but I went for more damage (might just be personal preference).
Craft that helmet for stun res if you can.
I hope this wasnât too much. I get carried away sometimes
i wish path of the three could work but possession is just too good to pass up damage/resist/absorb-wise. but we still need pierce res bc my T1 pierce res on the medal is less realistic in order and we should overcap it lol. otherwise i really appreciate the changes and will try them
Yeah, I suspect you are right regarding Posession
But how important is pierce res really? Apart from Fabius I really canât think of many dangerous enemies with lots of pierce dmg
what bothers me more is actually the aether overcap in my version; I really would prefer upwards of 30% on that one.
Maybe with a pair of Golemborn greaves this would look better?
very nice defenses, but now you lost 200 OA and overcap aegis from the last post haha. i think its appropriate to say the boots are interchangeable depending on what you need.
but i still love it. i think if it had a dot, it would be up to par with other dmg types.
