Build idea - my take on the tree.

The chaos conversion way adds a SHITTON of damage to firestorm. My theorycrafting so far wit this tree

Use 5l Infernal Mantle, +1 gem and bonus spell and fire damage are cool! Reserve only 35% mana for blasphemy and cast firestorm with minimal mana nodes investment, never go under 35% mana - use 1 mana pot if necessary, we do have 100% mana regen on tree... have to test in practice, but I think it wont be a problem.

Consuming Dark = 100% chance to poison, lets see how much poison actually help us...

Lets talk poison!

Base of 10% increase, per second, for 2 seconds. Base total 20% MORE damage over 2 seconds.

All our damage is chaos, so we take chaos dmg nodes instead of ele and fire dmg nodes when able, we have to start shadow (tree has 320% increased dmg total for firestorm combined from fire, spell damage, aoe damage and chaos damage)

150% Chaos damage increased, 90% duration, use Blasphemy Tempt Chains as a damage buff and defense curse

Poison now does 10% times 2.5 = 25% More damage per second
Posion duration vs slowed enemies = 2 sec times 1.9 times 1.4 (temp chains)= 5.32 seconds
25% times 5.32 = 133% MORE DAMAGE spread over 5 seconds. Insane, at least in theory. Should be able to shred bosses beautifully. I don't think any trash mob will ever survive more then a single cast of firestorm.

But wait, it gets better. Against bosses we plant a Wither Totem, which gives us 7% MORE damage per stack (20 stacks max for 140% MORE, probably never reached) both to our initial hit and over time poison damage. Once again this double-dips, since its chaos.

Links:
Firestorm - Faster Cast - Echo - Conc/AoE - Controlled Destruction - 6l(Added Chaos)

CWDT setup - link 15+ lvl CWDT to Essence Drain, Contagion and Molten Shell gems for extra fun.
The DOT damage from Essence Drain and Contagion both get boosted by our 200% increased chaos/spell damage nodes and duration nodes. Even unsuported molten shell will explode for over 6k damage, as well as providing 1k armor. If you link it to life leech we might be able to regain 600-1000 life when it explodes with a threshold of 1k damage - instantly healing the damage we took provided we are still alive. It also has a sweet duration of 19 seconds to move between packs.

Move around with Fortify-Faster Attacks-Whirling Blades for that sweet defensive buff :)

Also CHAOS=REFLECT FREE YEY!

What do you think?
