Melee Chaos Build Help Please
|
Hey Guys,
I'm looking at making a sort of Black Knight type character. What I'm aiming for: *Melee focused Character *Chaos melee damage (so far this seems like it'll come from Physical converted to Chaos) *Armor and ES based defenses *No Shield (Would prefer single one-handed weapon, but can see how that'd be sup-par) Gems I plan to use: *Added Chaos Damage *Poison/Viper Strike *Multistrike *Melee Splash *Desecrate (I'm thinking through a trigger gem) I'm trying to use Lightbane, Cherrubim, or Death's Oath. I also want to use the Ranger to achieve this, but Witch and Scion are also ok. (I'm envisioning this as a female character). I was thinking of trying to work in CI and IR. I want high chaos resistance if CI doesn't work. Additionally, whilst I will have Poison effects, I don't want DoT's to be my primary damage. I want to focus on big hits, though I do like the idea of my hits continuing to eat away some at enemies after I've struck them. Also, if you can work in lots of block chance perhaps with dual wielding that would be cool and bring out the strength of Lightbane.

Well, there are two ways to do it, by conversion and by having a natural chaos base.
The conversion method would probably be the easier one, you could just use consuming dark in offhand and mantle or lightbane to get 75 or 80% physical to chaos. Then you just pick a skill that won't use your off hand and you're laughin'. You could also use Ming's heart (or two if feeling ambitious) to get some added damage. Infernal mantle also has a decent amount of ES if you want to go CI, fitting all that in one build will probably be shaky, though. Getting a decent amount of base chaos damage would be a bit trickier, you'd either need to roll chaos damage on a rare weapon or just use edge of madness, the base isn't as high but it has other useful bonuses (and even looks like something a dark knight would use). With some chaos on the weapon, alberon boots and the added damage gem you should be able to get a good enough base to work with. I've started the latter build at some point but never finished it due to unforeseen circumstances so I don't really know how well would it work in endgame. Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs. ◄[www.moddb.com/mods/balancedux]► ◄[www.moddb.com/mods/one-vision1]► Last edited by raics#7540 on Apr 10, 2016, 5:36:26 PM

" Consuming Dark only converts Fire Damage, as does Infernal Mantle. I suppose I could focus on a Fire Damage build, and utilize those to convert it to Chaos, but I'd need a good one-handed fire damage weapon. Ming's Heart with Lightbane would give 50%(70% with two Ming's) conversion of physical to chaos. Using Mortem Morsu in off-hand would give a potential 20% more conversion. That along with the Passive Force Shaper, could give 95% conversion of physical to Chaos. If I was to use Broken Faith with Mortem Morsu, that'd give me a potential conversion of 105%. Blood of Corruption and Alberon's Warpath will definitely be good to add base Chaos damage. |

Can anyone come up with a good passive skill tree?

I sure can't, the build I mentioned was a hybrid with viper and dot spells.

Im doing something like a Choas based build. It besicly use added chaos some conversion from ascendency but ther realy not mach else there. You can use Claws with chaos damage + added chaos gem for some base line and it should worck nicely with most of skills, ther is a Viper strike for conviniane. As i say full chaos build are not with outh loot of compromise but if you intrested in some mixed wariant you can look my TerminusBeest build for some reference. |

Ming's heart doesn't convert phys to chaos, it adds % extra dmg from phys as chaos. Also isn't it just simpler to focus on scaling viper strike ? scale phys and attack speed, put in melee splash, profit?
ex in 2.1: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1552929 Ranger builds list: /917964 When two witches watch two watches, which witch watches which watch? If the witches watching watches watch the same watch while you watch which witch watches which watch, they switch watches; then, the watch switching witches watch which watch you watch. Watching witches watch watches is not for the faint of heart... Last edited by Panini_aux_olives#1967 on Apr 11, 2016, 2:50:06 AM
