Keep in mind the gear is complete shit and the links arent all correct, i just wanted to test the build.


Got any suggestions + tips please lmk :)

I'm really interested in making a 2.1 Power Siphon build, but I'm concerned about it's viability, -I quit before they nerfed blood rage + CI combo.

re: Video
It looks like chain is a better option vs. pierce, which is what I was using before. And going with chaos damage is a nice alternative.
Do you discharge? I figure you may as well if you're rocking all the charges.

Hey mate,
I feel you. I've been trying to come up with a viable power siphon wander since KB was introduced, but every single time I end up going back because it's just so much stroger in terms of damage and clearspeed. Hell, even the lowlife shavs version I built was downright bad compared to just using KB :(
But I haven't given up lol. Maybe this chaos thing is an interesting twist; could you show your gear please?

Sadly I can't watch the video due to some licenenced music that is apparently being used, fucking GEMA...

Edit: Did manage to watch the video after all, proxtube FTW. Yeah, just like I expected... you need in average 3-5 shots for a pack, whereas chained KB + HoI would kill them all in a single hit :( And single target doesn't seem to be any good either. Hm.
How much phys damage do you have? Maybe a Ming's Heart could help provide some more chaos damage? You also don't scale any chaos damage nodes except the shadow start. Maybe that would help if you focused solely on flat chaos dmg from gear?

What other ways are there to get a huge flat chaos damage bonus?

http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Alberon's_Warpath 1-80 flat but otherwise not very good boots...
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Blood_of_Corruption uhm yeah. Useless amulet unless you build around it, which then ofc is a pure support char
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Ming's_Heart worth it if you have enough pyhsical damage. Also one of my favourite uniques.

Now, what other ways are there to scale the chaos damage we get from the gem and gear? Crit, of course. And frenzies. And projectile damage. And of course http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Crown_of_Eyes which scales spell damage and adds it to our attack damage - ANY attack damage, including chaos.

So I would propose a different approach. Maximize crit and chaos damage, and get spell damage via gear and jewels to scale through CoE. Whether ming's is worth it or not is yet to be determined.

And since I only play HC myself, I dislike low-ish HP builds; I prefer to run ES-based chars because you usually get twice the life pool to protect against those pesky oneshots. So I made a CI tree for you:

This will have between 8000-9000 ES with instant leech, a ton of chaos damage and crit. Depening on your wand, getting Throatseeker for 3 points might be better than one of the power charges, since crit multi > all once you have enough CC.
Gear could look something like this:


Excuse the wild mixture of stuff from 3 different leagues, just some samples here.
But I think this could really work, provided we can scale the flat chaos damage high enough.

Cool someone wants to make a Power Siphon Chaos build.

I vaaled a lvl 21 Power Siphon awile ago and have been wanting to make a chaos power siphon ever since. I also have a high phys wand in standard. I didnt know wands could get chaos damage too! Oh dont forgot the added chaos master craft for 13 chaos!

I find GMP and chain to really kill the dps. I would get pierce from the tree and use poachers aim jewel.

I'm playing Talisman and might start a new char, not sure if theres enough time to get it really rockin. Anyhow good luck.

Has anyone managed to try this yet?
I might do it as a Vaal Power Siphon dried lake farmer just for the lulz.
