Can somebody explain me the logic behind Breath of The council Being a mace???

Quite surprised no one mentioned the great synergy with shield charge + breath + voidheart/poison

this build can perfectly dual wield thoses two weapons and wreck stuff, bcuz 80% chaos damage is op. Who needs viper strike when we can get flicker strike + 9 frenzy charges.

Poison spreaded using voidheart count as chaos skills effect so BotC boost the dmg and duration as well. You should do some research before posting.

It also a chaos alternative to Doryani for spells like ED and Contagion.

Interesting. I wonder if a chaos shield charger with breath of the council and voidheart could work well.

Vipermagi went off. I'm shocked at that, but don't blame him considering the tone. No, there's no existing chaos skill for melee for MACE, and with these maces, it shouldn't exist. These are designed to take into account how poison works, and to amplify that mechanic. One thing to note - poison stacks are unlimited. That's godly.

Personally, I can't wait to get my hands on a pair.I can def see molten strike / void manipulation blah blah etc with added chaos damage doing some fun stuff.
