EREBUSREAVER THE SON OF CHAOS GUIDE 200.000 dps or tankspec **REBORN*

I have to say am intrigued by this build.
I have made various melee toons with Infernal Blow + Aegis etc , which can clear 95 % of the content but struggle on some map bosses ( Dominus etc ) .
They have always been life based and either used axes or Facebreakers.

I am gonna try this build out fully as I have just got the currency to buy a decent 6 link .

Videos helped a lot and you do not sound boring dude :)

Anyways thank you very much for the build !

I'm currently running a similar reave-claw-CI-vaal-IR-US toon, as scion, without Aegis (i'm poor lol), but with 25% instant leech you can be tanky as fuck.

In the current state of the game, I believe your spec offers the best possible mix of survivability and offence. There is nothing that even comes close.

I'd just mention the *only* downside of the build: temp chains + chill at the same time kinda ruins your leech capabilities (you can't always top yourself off instantly due to very low attack speed, so your ES drops more before getting back upto max; a burst high dmg hit sequence could thus ruin your day if you're unlucky, and i'm talking here about unblockable spells)

Again, grats on the balanced build!


ty for the comment, well about the temp chain. ure point is correct, however in my gear set i bypassed the armor es block regen barrier where my pool keeps me alive without Leach(ofc i can die, but have not encountered a situation where this combo dos it)

well dominus is a bitch aswell.

since the 1 weakness this toon have vs dom. is if bad stats he can push a terrible 1 shot, having a rathpit or high es shield cud fix it for that boss. then u go in and rely on Leach, with a top claw thats also easy achivable. what this build offers u is uber tank with top damage vs life based. and no Chaos bypass ure es.

Thanks for the reply jauer .

I am currently lvl 74 and into maps , the build is has become viable for me but far from finished levels and gear wise .

I Wondered what your thoughts on the new Romira Banquet ring were ?



I have also found the play style difficult to adapt to , keeping track of charges whilst fighting mobs and watching ES is different to what I am used to , but its been fun learning and I feel this build is improving my skill level .

I will link my gear and some gameplay videos when I am a bit more complete .
( Need currency to finish off a few pieces )


ty .

yes a interresting ring. i thourt of it aswell. will free up 1 passive due to mana Leach. will allow u to not use a 2 attack or pcoc to stack charges... however i got my doubts. since the crit effect of running all charges all time imo will be significant higher dps... however we stack em very fast with munti and a fast claw... try it out... featback much appricated

One such situation is the Shock and Horror boss in torture chamber map with temp chains/frozen ground, whose lightning beam is not blockable and thus all your regen (or lack thereof) comes from leech. And double bosses in such circumstances would be undoable.

But aside from this very very specific scenario, I cannot think of anything that would give problems to this build. Sure, it may die from a map vaal smash, if 1) you aren't able to dodge it and 2) you're unlucky enough to not score a block.

Awesome build here jauer, I'm surprised it doesn't receive more attention.

By far the most survivable build I've played, the damage is quite decent, and you can make it work somewhat even with cheap gear, that's a big plus.
