[2.1] 8pM's 3in1 Physical - Spell - Chaos - Convertion - Build (BV/BF/EK); New Showcase-Video

I'm not a nativ Speaker, please don't blame me if i make some mistakes. Whisp me if you found a mistak or false grammar.

I liked the idea to convert some kind of elemental damage to another element. One of the interesting Builds I found so far was the 100% fire to chaos dmg Incinerate. After thinking about dmg conversion and specific items which convert elemental dmg, I choosed the Consuming Dark as my main weapon in combination with a Pyre to convert all of my cold dmg to fire dmg and to convert 75% of this fire dmg to chaos dmg.

When thinking about a phys build, one of the best auras is Hatred. With the combination of Pyre + a Consuming Dark I get a 25% fire + 75% chaos dmg aura which buffs my dmg depending on my physical dmg.
Beside that the starting area of the shadow seems to be the best option to buff both, the physical and the chaos. After thinking about this “double – buff” I came to the point, that I want to get a high use from every single skillpoint I spend. Now it is logical to me, to do so but a year ago I truly couldn’t do it the way I made it now.

Besides a usefull skilltree, I want to make it a fair (not budget) build, where I can use some items I realy like.
I mentioned the Consuming Dark and the Pyre Ring. One of my favorites is Ming’s Heart. Every time I make a physical Build I try to use it, but with its downside it could be hard to fit in. But u will see, that it fits here just fine!

The skilltree I’m showing here is the one I made for Blade Vortex. But as I mentioned the idea is based on physical spells so I will make two other skilltrees as well. One for Blade Fall as well as one for Ethereal Knives.
I use my BV-skilltree also with BF as well as with EK.
But for those who want to make a specific build i tried to make two diffrent skilltrees (just a try, not realy perfect, i think about it in time)

Blade Vortex


Blade Fall (similar to the BV - skilltree, only skipped the duration nodes and go for more ES


Ethereal Knives (my idea how i would end up right now)

Chest

Main skill (you can you can replace Blade Vortex with Blade Fall or Ethereal Knives)

4L: Blade Vortex – Spell Echo – Faster Casting – Added Fire

5L: Blade Vortex – Spell Echo – Faster Casting – Added Fire – Controlled Destruction

6L: Blade Vortex – Spell Echo – Faster Casting – Added Fire – Controlled Destruction – Void Manipulation


Helmet (Aura setup), Gloves (CwDT), Boots (usefull secondary skill)

Aura 4L: Hatred – Blasphemy – Warlords Mark – Enlighten

Discussion: You can go for Herald of Ash for a little damage boost but you have to curse on your own. For Blade Vortex it will make the Build a bit squishy and not that fast. For BF or EK it is a good option, but I’m a lazy player so I prefer the Aura-Curse.


CwDt 4L: CwDT – Increased Duration – Immortal Call – Molten Shell

Discussion: Instead of Increased Duration you can go for Increased Area of Effect. This is for the Molten Shell explosion, which deals up to 12k dmg (keep in mind that this is with a 75% fire to chaos dmg convertion). I think it is one good option but maybe there are better ones.

Secondary Skill 4L: Abyssal Cry – Rapid Decay – Poison – Increased Area of Effect

Discussion: Not new but nice to have. Speeds up the clear speed significantly. If you use Blade Fall or Ethereal Knives you can go another way. I try the following:

Sec.Skill (BF/EK) 4L: Bear Trap – Culling Strike – Added Fire – Item Rarity

It uses the same colours like the other setup, so I can switch between these two options. And with this I found my first Brittle Emperor Card in Dried Lake. So it isn’t that bad at all:D


Weapon (Movement), Shield (Vaal Skills)

Movement 3L: Dagger = Whirling Blades – Faster Attacks – Fortify (standard)

Vaal Skills 3L: Vaal Haste – Vaal Clarity – Increased Duration

Discussion: I use this, because I can get the BV-stacks before a Bossroom and then rush in and kill realy fast, also I get a ton of life leech. Just my preferred combination.

Normal - Oak - +40 base life; because I’m life based

Cruel - Oak - +16% Physical Damage; phys dmg skales the whole dmg

Mercilles - Kraityn - +1 Frency Charge; not to mention why I think

Gear

Discussion:

Consuming Dark:
Spell Dmg, Chaos Convertion, some int for the ES (:D, its useful) BiS for this build

Pyre:
Dmg Convertion as mentioned, resistances, Sometimes a nice corpse explosion (against skellies not that bad)

Ming’s Heart:
20% extra chaos dmg based on phys dmg. It’s like a Herald. Good chaos resistances. Big downside is the -15% life/ES…but hey it’s PoE, handle the downsides is the most funniest part of the game!

Carcass Jack:
BiS Chest here, it pushes the entire build, you know what I mean!

The Blood Dance:
provides me with full Frenzy charges, 1% cast speed per Frenzy charge + 4% more dmg is just a hugh dmg buff + 6% increased dmg against enemies when they are on low life. The nerf of the life regen isn’t important because I’m using Vaal Pact.

Helmet, Gloves, Shield:
ES, life, resistances, Spell dmg on shield…that’s all!

Belt:
A rustic sash is BiS, look for high life, resistances and either ES or movement speed when mastercrafting.

Flask

Discussion (unique flasks):

Atziri’s Promise:
Extra Chaos Dmg based on the phys dmg + 2% life leech based on chaos dmg, just perfect for this build and realy cheap.

Taste of Hate:
Did I mention that I convert cold dmg to fire to chaos? :D + physical dmg income reduction! It’s expensive but for this build it’s the best way to mitigate incoming dmg. I know it’s a bit broken, but I don’t have another option.
The rest is self-explaining.

Jewels



Discussion (unique jewel)

Conqueror's Efficiency:
I like the idea of using a quest reward and this jewel provides me with all i want. A little mana cost reduction, 2% reduced reservation for auras and skill effect duration. All i want and it's free!

Blade Vortex


Blade Fall


Ethereal Knives
