Very much possible to build arround the chest. (7.5k ES overall, if you watch the vid) Also, the chest makes it more easy to run -max maps, which is mod that appears often enough to be considered. Welcome to the greatest of arenas, Duelist. God is watching you.

" Yeah dude, I noted the points you had left to spend :D It just didn't seem optimal and I thought you were joking because of that. ^^ Don't get me wrong, after I did the math, I think it could work just fine for CI characters (at least until you get a BiS 1k+ ES chest which increases your EHP by about... 15% more than Incandescent heart, but with that being said, even with the Low ES it gives you you have 15% less EHP than a finely crafted BiS 1k ES chest, making it a very good ("cheap") alternative. ... However, It probably works best in a life build that uses energy shield without having to rely on energy shield as your main life pool. The build would revolve around NEEDING max chaos resists, and about 150% life, es, armor, and mana. You could get around 200% life if you really feel like chaos damage (with max chaos resists) is going to one-shot character who's at 35% with low-life. You won't be able to run as many auras on life as Shav's but you can at least do 3 purities or wrath/anger +clarity. There's also the possibility that this has synergy with righteous fire, if this is the case you could run this armor (with 75% chaos res) and skip your purity of fire.. OR you could use purity of fire, the chest is still going to effectively give you some +max resist up until around 95% all res. ...

Pretty sure this Armour would do nothing to help you with RF. I assume the conversion happens on hits (like all conversions), not self burn (or any DoT)..

I can't believe they nerfed incandescent heart so much in the design process and yet had no problem releasing uniques like Acuity, Mjolner, windripper, etc etc
I found an incandescent today and I would love to feel inspired to make a build with it but it just doesn't look good enough. I would prefer to make some kind of CI build with it but the ES on the thing is just too small to do that. It might be possible to do but I can't justify the effort when I could simply use a better chest like something with very high ES. I would also feel odd using the chest and wasting the HP mod on it. The life leech is cool but again limits the build variety since it won't work with casters/elemental builds. Standard Forever Last edited by iamstryker on Jun 19, 2014, 9:04:54 PM

" I really don't get this... They introduce a chest that is made for an ES build - Chaos Innoculation, but they purposely put LOW ES and decide to add a Life mod???? Let's take a look at these mods: - ~220 Energy Shield - ~85+ to max life - 25% OF Elemental Damage taken as Chaos Damage - Light Radius based on Energy Shield instead of Life So if you go life: with this chest you will: - need to stack max chaos resistance (which is difficult given this chest has no chaos resistance and there are no chaos res auras) - have light radius equal to your low Energy Shield If you go CI: - the life mod is useless - the life leech mod is useless if you do not go an attack build If you go hybrid: - you will have to stack max chaos resistance - you will have to stack both life and ES - which is suboptimal to do on gear and tree If you go MoM: - you will have like 0 light radius This chest reminds me of Queen of Forest - a few good mods, but overall the chest has disynergies and is not optimal - why not just go with a better rare chest that fits your needs. Iamstryker summed it up perfectly: " | |
Yes CI is unviable, look at this noob that picked CI instead of stacking HP like all normal people do

" Thread isnt about CI (we all know it's pretty viable), but about chest, that seems to have wierd bonuses, to say least. IGN: MortalKombat

" To be honest it s terrible from the dev team. I know they want to have good uniques and average ones, but if you pay 1000 dollars on it, at least they should make it right. if your mods are too powerful they should at least think if their nerf will make the item viable for it s ilevel (after all the supporter can t even test the item he is creating, and the GGG team sometime seems to have strange sense of balance). This chest with all those nerf is not worth it s level. Its would be a very good level 50 item, but for a level 70 it s so-so for now. They don't want you to have a 7link in the chest but In the same time they put out Mjolner that is totally unbalanced and is like a 10 links item and is totally overpowered.
