[2.2][assassin]The Chaos Mage - Blood Magic Crit Flameblast - Uber Down

Hey, gotta say, good job! I really liked the build! Had been thinking about doing 100% chaos conversion myself but never got around to it.
One thing I really don't like tho, is BloodMagic. I play HC and this build was not very good for it honestly due to the lack of life gear and some other stuff, so I tried to change some items and make it HC friendly (for example using a good life shield) but I still did not like how it turned out.
The idea of having to cast with HP did not please me, and also, with mom/eb I'd like to get ZO, and obviously that would be really detrimental do my HP pool since I'd casting with HP without HP regen. Therefore I tried to come up with some life builds that could work in HC without BM, but honestly, even though it seemed decent (and I still might do this), I wasn't really completely happy with what I came up with (the following link)


At this point I tried looking into other solutions and CI came to my mind! What do you think about CI for this char? I put a tree together that tries to go for: A shit ton of ES, good crit chance and nice mana regen since I'd be casting with mana. If you could take a look at it and tell me what you think, I'd appreciate that! :)



It's probably not the final version of the tree but a good starting point I think!

remove crit
start from marauden
get life regen to do not lose life on cast

use shield
non crit build

but i think BM is necessary

Alright, I looked at your build and refined it to my personal taste a little bit for a BM version, having a little bit more life, more armour, double cursing, less regen and no unwavering, (and maybe a couple shield block + defenses increased from shield nodes). Considering dropping arsonist wheel for more life.



Also, something I wanted to ask, do you think non crit FlameBlast is good enough damage? I'm afraid it's not enough damage, therefore my reasoning for wanting to go crit so much, along with the build in general sinergysing pretty well with crit.


For the above mentioned reasons, forgive me for insisting but I tried a different version of the non BM, starting as scion and it does look way better than the previous ones, more crit, more life, more energy shield rege (if I take ZO, otherwise life regen) and some power charges (would probably manually curse ass mark).
Here is the scion tree


Finally, you did not mention the CI version in your answer, do you haven on knowledge about it, don't like it, any words please? :D

So i made my own version of this build. What do you guys think?

I made it a little bit more tanky. I still toke a few crit nodes and i plan on using the voidbringer gloves with a high armour shield. I think that i will be able to get like 30-35% crit with this build.

165% crit on the skill tree
140% crit on voidbringer gloves
50% crit on 2x diamond rings
60% crit on the consuming dark

That gives me 25.75% crit + assassin's mark = around 35% crit.

1 - IF u use infernal mantle BM is the best way to removed the drawback
2 - tried playing CI 2 times it doesnt work well for flameblast, 2 reasons
a) flameblast is a slow cast spell
b) leech will be slow because your cast is slow, so
3- reflect hurts
4- same for power charge, if u dont have volls protector u'll not get enough power charg4es casting flameblast
5- for uber atizri map i missed the unwavering stance keystone
Hello again Night_Zero , can i ask that how do you make infernal mantle 6 slots. I tried using craftbench from Vorici to increase the slot but the maximum is capped at 4 slots.

Vorici needs to be level 8 i think for 6 sockets. But all chests can be 6 socket (unless otherwise stated), it's just relatively rare
@SPVietBoy thank you.
What links would you use in a 5L +1 Gems Mantle?
And what other spells would you consider effective for it, perhaps Flame Totem or Firestorm?





(yes, this thing is for sale (whisper me ingame if you want it), but I just might use it if I find the energy to start a new build :D)
