Wouldn't avatar of fire make us deal 0 chaos ?

Why Void Manipulation , it takes portion of u elemental damage, this isnt a down side? there's no better option? ty

I really don't know... but you're probably right

it reduces ele dmg by 25% but gives u 39% MORE !! chaos dmg...
its a huge buff

also u can check 20/20 added cold, lvl 4 empower or Concentrated effect (much wore clear speed with this one)

great guide!

1. how can we make this build more tanky for HC?

- Maybe run blasphemy-enfeeble instead of Anger?
- Swap in a Shield? (which do you prefer?)


2. What about Binos? Wouldn't it be better dmg wise?


TY!

1. for HC i would use Lighting Coil + increased aoe gem in 6L (drop void manipulation or controlled destruction) and yeah enfeeble or temp chains with blasphemy would be ok but u cant use shield... 2x consuming dark are a must and also actobatics has penalties to block chance

2. u need 2x consuming dark for 100% chaos dmg, it cant be changed

this looks really good. Any plans on making a leveling guide by breaking down the passive tree into parts?

But with he looking for survivability, I think that he can have a bit of downside in damage, don't you? Maybe not a shield, but a Consuming Dark and Bino's?

Because the more chaos damage on Void Manip doubles dips with the poison damage. Meaning it increases the hit damage of the skill and then also increases the poison damage again. With controlled you would just be scaling the hit dmg.


Just test it with a 5l and swap void and controlled...You will see that with controlled you will be hitting slightly harder but your poison will feel very weak. However with void you lose just a bit of hit damage but your poison damage really starts getting scary.

I adjusted my Pohx style ice trapper on PHC to using a set up similar to this and so far I'm loving it. The damage is way higher than a regular ice trap and we also have another way to scale our damage. (chaos damage)


Build:


Running blasphemy TC + AA and clarity (swap blasphemy to herald of ice when I'm partied with curser). Using Queen of the Forest, atziri's step.


Definitely a work in progress but I do feel that the build is HC viable with some tweaks and play style adjustments.

A coil and/or taste of hate would go a long way. Namely a ToH, which is my next goal for the league.

Trying to link up a carcass to see how it compares offensively and defensively to the QotF.




I've debated on dropping master sapper and acro and trying to go life/es or CI, but I'm just worried about my ES pool without a big ES shield (since we're dual wield daggers)

Also losing master sapper cluster would be a huge loss in damage...like 60%ish trap damage AND frenzy charges.



So I think evasion/acro life is the best setup for the moment. As we would need some insane ES pieces to make the transition to CI or hybrid. But with the right pieces I feel like the dmg loss from losing master sapper could be made up by greatly increasing our effective health pool.



Just wanted to share my experiences and perspective as someone playing a very similar setup on PHC.



Loving the build, thanks for sharing the build idea with us.
