Poe Chaos Dmg
Question Chaos Damage builds? I really like chaos damage in POE and have been thinking of a build for it, a pure(or mostly pure) chaos damage build. My first choice would have been the old Viper Strike because I love melee skills, and how it used to scale like a spell (like Ele hit) rather than a standard melee attack build. Path of Exile is a free online-only action RPG under development by Grinding Gear Games in New Zealand. HC Viable Chaos DMG Power Siphon Wander + Video. The plan is to use Power siphon + added chaos damage + gmp + chain + void manipulation + critical strike damage damage and build your tree around phys/chaos to scale with a wand like. Chaos refers to a type of magic wielded by warlocks and demon hunters. Chaos is a unique multi-school, combining all the seven schools of magic: Arcane, Fire, Frost, Holy, Nature, Shadow and even Physical. Multi-school abilities benefit from bonuses that affect any of their schools, use the lowest resistance value among their schools, ignore absorption and immunity effects that apply to only. You take 450 Chaos Damage per second for 3 seconds on Kill Gore Footprints Tears of blood, aching heart, My dear Isildria must depart. Enlighten Support Enlighten Support Support Icon: + Supports any skill gem. Once this gem reaches level 2 or above, will apply a mana multiplier to supported gems.

Poe Chaos Damage Build
Updated for Patch 3.8
The Best Crafty Guides by Odealo
Estimated budget: medium
Guide notes |
September 11, 2019 -Updated for Patch 3.8 |
Essence Drain is a projectile-based spell that deals very high Damage over Time. The damaging debuff can be spread further to nearby enemies by the Contagion Spell for an even better area of effect and greatly increased clear speed. There are a lot of variants of this build, which is also very powerful as Life/Hybrid build. Our suggested build revolves around Occultist Ascendancy class which grants terrific bonuses to Chaos Damage and Energy Shield, as well as allows you to use three different Curses, boosting both your DPS and defenses. The damage of Essence Drain has been greatly increased in Patch 3.6 making this build even more powerful. On top of increasing its' damage, the skill no longer applies it's debuff to the first enemy hit, but also to targets around it.
This build carries a lot of potentials as a League starter build. It will allow you to start Mapping with literally no unique item requirements, while most of the end game gear can be still fairly easy to obtain. It is suggested to level up and start mapping with ED Occultist as a hybrid Life/ES character. After you can afford Shavronne's Wrappings, you should switch it to the Low-Life variation. It will allow you to use additional Auras that by using Blood Magic Support Gem will reserve your Life instead.

1. Gameplay
This build has quite unique gameplay mechanics. The Essence Drain is a projectile-based spell, which applies its' debuff to the first enemy hit and other enemies in a small radius around it. You can use your Contagion Spell, which will cause the DoT to spread in a wider area, greatly enhancing clear speed. This combination grants this build very solid AoE damage, which is triggered with only two Spell casts. Your damage can be further amplified by the use of Wither Spell Totem.
It was recorded pre 3.8 - but the gameplay hasn't changed much since |

3. Leveling tips
Leveling this Essence Drain Occultist is not as smooth as other popular League starter classes. You should start off by using Freezing Pulse (or any other spell of choice - after all the early levels are easy with anything you decide to pick up) and swap it to Essence Drain as you get it at level 12. This is when you reach Merveil's Cavern. At this point, you will have to apply the Essence Drain debuff to enemies and finish them off with Freezing Pulse (or other spells that you feel comfortable with). Since this build requires more links in your main DPS setup than other builds, it is advised to invest in Tabula Rasa.
