kinda scared of the possible OPness of Consuming dark

Heh, you could put slower projectiles in that slot. It's more damage now. Cancels your faster proj... but yeah.

I honestly see this as the future of flameblast.

I did a max aoe chaos flameblast in bloodlines for lulz and it works okish but it's nothing compared to prolif version.

You wont need troll mantle most likely but it would help in ways I guess.
Scaling chaos damage as a spell is actually pretty effective from scion start.
There are some interesting jewel that could work well with this spec.

Ok never mind I guess chaos damage can crit. I just remember reading something saying it can't a long time ago sorry :(

And also act boss have insane chaos resist and you wont have chaos pen so this build won't be amazing for boss farming imo.

You also wont be able to leech easily with this spec and that could be a problem vs some mobs.
like no 1% leech wands ect...

With that said I don't think I would do this spec because of the pain it has vs act boss it is really really slow to kill act boss with chaos damage of any kind.

I'm not sure how crit works with chaos damage from spells but from what I know chaos damage can't crit.
I'm not 100% sure fire damage converted to chaos damage can't crit but I feel like that might be one thing holding this build back if it can't.

Whoa, whoa, what? That's the first I've heard of that.

Just for reference:

Chaos damage CAN crit, it just doesn't naturally do anything but deal more damage on crit compared to elemental.

Go dual wield apeps rage and go crit FP and see for yourself.

This entire post makes no sense.

Scaling chaos damage in this version is easy, since its converts fire damage and it's a spell.(assuming flameblast)

Both spell modifiers and fire modifiers will work and act before conversion, obviously chaos modifiers will also work after the conversion is done.

Crit works perfectly fine on chaos damage. There is absolutely no reason to think chaos damage cannot crit. It has no status ailment attached to it, but that's roughly where that line of thought ends.

Why would chaos damage not be able to leach? Warlords mark apply's to all forms of damage and so does the life leach gem.

Hope that helps, peace,

Yeah, I checked the wiki, ctr+f "chaos", nothing comes up.

That item makes adapting to the flame totem changes a bit easier. So not looking forward to possibly having to re-chroma the mantle for something besides GMP. I can't think of anything else to stick in a green slot once you pull GMP out.


Maybe they will buff added cold damage.

You'll also probably want to run herald of thunder for shock stacking I'm not 100% sure how that will effect reflect if your not running troll mantle. It's pretty easy to die to double reflect with flameblast even with a gem at low levels.
The heralds would not do nearly enough damage to even scratch you with reflect. Remember, it would have to go through:

Damage * .25 * .18 * (resists)

But, you bring up a good point, actually. Anger and Wrath now add to spell damage... This gives even more ways to scale spells.

Increased chaos damage DOES work on spells -- if the damage is spell damage.

Damage-over-time effects (such as from Desecrate and the poison debuff) are never considered spell damage, however.

I like that it converts fire damage specifically.

You could go Avatar of Fire with anything and make a 100% chaos build using these two items. Might be weak with lightning skills though.



Avatar of Fire also makes you deal no non-fire damage, so if you converted everything to chaos damage you'd do no damage.


Oh completely forgot about that.
