hey, first off really interesting build! i'm personally debating going with chaos flameblast for no reason other then i feel like it lol.


what would you change if you were going with chaos? been trying to theorycraft but figured some advice from someone whos personally played it would help. thanks!

also thoughts on occultist?

kind of concerned that chaos would lose me alot of cast speed aswell

I did a chaos version. It is not completely optimized but I will show you what I did.
Here is my tree.


Here is my gear

Basically, the original build in this thread inspired me to make a chaos flameblast that could prolif ignite and shock while still being able to poison with binos. Vaal molten shell with scolds is not necessary but it is super fun. Also, the original build is much more tanky and better suited for HC. I don't think I would recommend my version in HC. Also, my version can do every single map mod including blood magic. If you can get enough resists you could wear that ring that gives you an extra aura. For my build you can use clear mind jewel also.

I am not trying to take away from the original build. I think his version is probably better honestly :) I just wanted to do a chaos flameblast and vaal molten shell just fit too and is a lot of fun. Again, I wouldn't really recommend for HC and I am not sure how it would work with only 75% chaos conversion. (I use legacy consuming dark)

how about infernal mantle for this build?

There's no point in using infernal mantle as the only thing it would do is getting us killed

Added twinned core malachai kill (on std with ripper phc char, deathless)

What do you think about using a Searing touch or mantra of flames jewel?

Pretty sure a 3 dmg mod jewel would be better than mantra of flames. I'm not sure about the searing touch, I suppose it's pretty good for pure dmg. The thing is that you lose up to 20% cast speed, though. So it's up to you to decide whether it's worth it or not.

Elemental Proliferation Support radius has been increased from 12 units up to 16.

That's pretty big man :O

Also looking at the tree changes, Beacon of ruin is increased to 12 from 9. Think it's worth running now?

Probably better off going with Paragon of Calamity with the reduced elemental reflect damage. Or even Liege of the Primordial for fire + lightning golem (or chaos golem/stone golem for survivability) for the extra damage and cast speed.

I wonder if you can drop purity of fire & arctic armour, grab paragon of calamity with 2.3buffs to counter reflect, and make use of MoM for more ehp.
