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.

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. [2.2] The Vampire - Tanky 2H Axe Slayer Duelist - /view-thread/1611662 Last edited by Mannoth on Apr 23, 2015, 2:40:04 PM

" 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, -Boem- Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes

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

" Maybe they will buff added cold damage. *throws head back in laughter | |
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. A comprehensive, easy on the eyes loot filter:
