[Build of the Week Submission] Acolyte of Chayula- Shock, Ignite,Freeze and poisons for a BIG Poison

Why Acolyte of Chayula?
I chose Acolyte of Chayula to ramp up the damage for a single poison through collecting purple flames and exploding volatility before sniping. And Sap of Nightmares solves mana and life sustain with 2 leech modifiers on your gear.

1-Waking Dreams
2-Inner Turmoil
3-Lucid Dreams - Choice of Power
4-Sap of Nightmares

You can allocate Sap of Nightmares whenever you get leech modifiers on your gear.


A Brief Explanation of the Build
Using first weapon set to inflict elemental ailments to gain buffs and weaken/prepare the enemies for the Snipe. Snipe is being used with the second weapon set which is optimized for the poison damage.


Uniques

    1-Original Sin - Amethyst Ring
  • Converts all elemental damage to chaos damage.
  • 2-Beyond Reach - Visceral Quiver
  • Enables chaos damage to contribute freeze buildup
  • 3-Cospri's Will - Assassin Garb
  • To have infinite curse and withered debuff duration.
  • 4-Darkness Enthroned - Fine Belt
  • Glove version for incresed effect of non-damaging ailments.
  • 5-Heart of Well - Diamond
  • %10 chance to poison on hit mod to stack up the Escalating Toxins(Annointed to amulet and it gives increased poison duration for each poison inflicted recently up to %100.) notable.
  • Insta Leech and chance to bleed(for the Poison III support. It's not that important cause it's not enough to make enemies bleed all the time)


Lineage Supports

    1-Esh's Radiance
  • Makes your chaos damage able to shock with support skills
  • 2-Xoph's Pyre
  • Makes your chaos damage able to ignite with support skills


Gems

-Mapping

    1-Lightning Arrow
  • Esh's Radiance - Shock - Freeze - Chaos Attunement - Rapid Attacks II
  • 2-Herald of Ice
  • Magnified Area II - Lightning Attunement - Shock - Frozen Spite

  • 4-Spiral Volley
  • Alignment II - Lightning Attunement - Ricochet III - Hit and Run - Frozen Spite

•With this setup Lightning Arrow can shock and freeze. So it can trigger both heralds. Same goes for Spiral Volley but it clears screenwide(usually screens) if it has a Frenzy charge to consume.

-Bossing

    1-Despair
  • Heightened Curse - Rapid Casting II
  • 2-Freezing Salvo
  • Chaos Attunement - Freeze - Deep Freeze - Poison III - Catharsis

  • Chaos Attunement - Window of Opportunity II - Longshot II - Poison III - Deadly Poison II


Combat While Bossing

Fight starts with the infinite duration Despair. Continueing with Ligthning Arrow - Lightning Rod duo to deal damage and inflict shock, ignite(to debuff the enemy and stack volatility charges) and Freeze. When Freeze Buildup reaches %90 use Freezing Salvo to freeze them with increased duration(deep freeze support) and explode Volatility(catharsis support) to gain damage as extra chaos damage.

At that point:
  • Enemy is shocked, frozen, cursed, withered, blinded(from tree)
  • You have exploded Volatility and stacked Escalating Toxins

Then channel Snipe against a frozen enemy(Snipe consumes freeze to deal even more damage) to inflict a Big and Long Lasting Poison

I am new at making videos, so video quality is not where I want it to be. It'll definitely get better in the future.
