[2.6] CwC ChaosStorm Berserker - 4 Breach Lords + Uber Atziri + Guardians + Shaper! [Videos]



Poe-Profile link: http://poe-profile.info/profile/Mr_G/CausticStorm

I'll be streaming when the league goes live: https://www.twitch.tv/mr_g__


Levelling
I intend to mule a quicksilver flask and fire trap from a Shadow at the start really quick, then from there I will level with whatever feels the fastest, probably 2 handed weapons until Firestorm is available after killing Merveil. The character requires a lot of gems that they don't have access to from quest rewards so I will have to find someone willing to trade with, possibly on Friends list.

Once around level 30 it should be fine to use spells until endgame, the Templar area should provide enough damage to progress towards witch, once life becomes an issue I will travel towards the Scion life wheel. I intend to level with mana first and swap to Blood Magic only if there is considerable issues with mana sustain.

Gem rewards
Normal
Act 1
Enemy at the Gate - Mule Fire Trap + Quicksilver from Shadow
The Caged Brute - Buy Spell Totem (Trade for Void Manipulation, Whirling Blades and Wither)
The Siren's Cadence - Buy Firestorm (Trade for Scorching Ray?)

Act 2
Sharp and Cruel - Trade for Concentrated Effect, Faster Casting, Controlled Destruction and Elemental Focus

Act 3
Lost in Love - Buy Flammability + Vulnerability (trade for Temp. Chains)
Sever the Right Hand - Buy Flameblast
A Fixture of Fate - Increased Duration (buy Chance to Ignite and Blasphemy)

Act 4
The Eternal Nightmare - AoE and Spell Echo

Cruel
Act 4
The Eternal Nightmare - Fire Penetration and buy Fortify

Gem Links
Wither (max lvl 3) + Firestorm + Cast while Channelling + Conc Effect + Void Manipulation + Elemental Focus (or Increased Duration).

For map clearing you can swap Conc Effect for Controlled Destruction or AoE.

Auras
Blasphemy + Temp. Chains + Enhance (getting +1 curse allows for Witchfire Brew as well)
Vulnerability can be used for DPS and if mana sustain is an issue Clarity can be used.

If you don't mind losing 100+ HP on a ring you could use Essence Worm with Anger and then Blasphemy + Temp Chains with reserve 49-56% of your mana depending on if you use Enhance or not.

Bandits / Ascendancy
Help Oak - Kill - Kill

Pain Reaver > Cloaked in Savagery > Crave the Slaughter > Aspect of Carnage

It is worth doing Normal Labyrinth at the end of Act 3 to get mana leech for sustain.

Jewels
The Red Dream / Nightmare is good (either at Templar or below Scion if you get the 18% Fire Resist node as well.

Mainly you want good rare jewels, if you check my character page you should be able to see what I use but if you want to search them on poe.trade look for something like this (http://poe.trade/search/ikikisikonakom):


Max life >6%
Chaos damage
Area damage

And if you can't get them look for these:
Damage
Damage over time
Fire damage
Spell damage
Resists if you need them.

Reserved for character progression

Level 58
Going alright, tired though - 3k life, 1.1k tooltip without Elemental Overload, only one Consuming Dark so far, if I choose to go with Infernal Mantle I think Blood Magic is better than Mana, otherwise stick with 60% conversion and run two auras or two curses.
Gear




Level 77
AoE clear isn't the highest but the single target is coming along nicely, the next 4 passive points will go towards chaos damage scaling so hopefully that helps. I bought an Infernal Mantle for 1c, will try to 6s it first. 100% leech with Vaal Pact is awesome.
Gear




Level 88
Using CwC now with a low level Wither to make the cost of casting only 5 mana, meaning it's almost impossible to go into "low mana", it also worked out the be higher single target damage against Atziri and I don't have to invest into cast speed as much. I 6s5L'd two Infernal Mantles and sold them and on my 3rd attempt I hit a 6L, rather lucky so the build in terms of expensive gear is almost complete, I would really like to find "The Red Dream" jewel though. Oh I also managed to find the Rumi's myself doing Atziri runs, it drops so often in there.
Gear




Level 92
Made a bit of a change to the damage nodes, picked up the chaos near Shadow instead of getting Heart of Flame, the tooltip chaos damage stayed about the same. Next level I will respec a node so that I can get the jewel socket below Scion so that I can use this jewel:

Added a video of an Atziri run, still not fully Ascendent but level 83 with a 5L Infernal Mantle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsfX0nvkVpo

Enjoying the Berserker's leech mechanics, the build can feel a little slow in terms of clear speed but recently I picked up Abyssal Cry and that has helped. Thinking about using Kaom's Heart and a Rime Gaze for harder content, but at the moment Infernal Mantle is manageable with mana. Getting two curses would be nice for damage, but I would need to get a +1 curse item or change the passive tree to get Whispers of Doom.

Two Breach Lords down, Xoph went well while I had a small issue with Tul - I didn't bring a chill and freeze immunity flask and got overwhelmed.

Which class would you recommend for CI version of this build? Ocultist? Definetly wanna try this build cuz im a little bit tired of Blade Flurry. But have enough currency for CI version thou
Yeah Occultist definitely - going CI means the 100% leech that Berserker gets wouldn't work. There was a guy who did Shaper on a 5L Infernal Mantle although I'm not sure if they posted up a build guide yet. He went with all the Chaos damage and Duration nodes on the passive tree instead of scaling the fire damage base like this build, it's better for the poison because fire damage doesn't double dip like those.

Found his character here: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Minimized/characters

Edit: Just did Uber Atziri twice and this dropped on the second one:

In your opinion. This build for Hardcore?
Or Ci build strong than Life?
Congrats with uber atziri firstly.

I have a question considering CI Occultist. What do you think which anti-stun gear would be better Chayula or Valirium ring?

Secondary which gem setup for 6l ? Wither - CwC - Firestrom -Inc AoE (Conc) - Void Manipulation, Ele Focus, Incr Duration....Life leech??????

Most likely CI if you have the gear, I wanted to get this character close to 7k HP but it's going to take some good gear and jewels to get there. The benefit to going life though is you can use Blasphemy + 20/20 Temp Chains + Enhance which is quite a lot better than using level 12 curse on hit temp chains.

The best CI anti stun amulet would definitely be a Chayula if you can get one with +1 curse GG, but Valirium would cover you on a budget.

6L the other guy uses is CwC - Firestorm - Wither - Void Manip - Conc - Duration (you could use Ele Focus but duration double dips on damage and poison duration). He gets his life leech from a 0.5% chaos leech amulet and 2 x Atziri's Promise.
