[2.2 Video Guide] Beginner's Build: Dual Flame Totem, Blood Magic Chieftain [Atziri & HC/SC Viable]

For the chaos variant, you need the Consuming Dark dagger and an Infernal Mantle:



Then you replace Fire Penetration (since you convert 100% of fire to chaos, it becomes useless) by Void Manipulation, which is more or less équivalant in term of DPS.

That's it. The rest doesn't change. The initial damage of Flame Totem stays the same, but the big different is the Damage over time from the Consuming Dark poison. I think my clearing speed raised by 50% when I switched to this setup, plus it's way more effective against bosses (especially if you use Wither, but that's not essential).

In the tree, you can optimize a little bit also. Respec Celestial Punishment and other nodes that increase fire penetration/burning damage, and try grabbing the chaos nodes on the top of the tree.

And of course if you are using Flammability, replace by another curse. Temporal chains is very good, because it increases the duration of poison.

i see but getting that daggger too will be difficult since i dont even have an infernal mantle ^^

and you mena the corruption node insterad of hear of the flame or in addition?

how does it look if you have an decent fire doryanis

and which gems should you gcp?

Ah yes, sorry you have your tabula. I have confused with someone else.

Well then you would have to buy both. In standard the dagger is 2ex, and a 5L infernal mantel 1 to 1,5 ex. If you have the currency it probably worthes it. Unfortunately it’s not something you can experiment with your tabula, because even if you add the Poison gem, fire damage can not inflict poison.

If you have only 2ex, then one option would be to buy the dagger and a 4L mantle (4L it’s very cheap). But then you would have to give up one of the 4 support gems, which are all critical to have. In that case I think you should better buy a 5L mantle, stay in fire version, and buy the dagger later when you have the money.

No, I was speaking of Celestial punishement (and the node just above which is weak). On my own tree I have both the chaos cluster and Heart of Flames. The reason chaos damage is so good is that it double dips, meaning in raises both the damage of the initial hit, and the poison DOT later.

If you are equipped with the dagger, what is your "base" damage (without any buffs) per totem?

18k, in my hideout. But this is without the DoT of Poison. Including it, I would say the real DPS is between 25k and 30k.

Thank you.
Hm, isn´t much more to pay 2 ex.
At the moment (level 88) the monsters die to fast, to have a bonus from dot.
hm...

Well, somehow you are right, normally with a 5L mantle and a good rare wand, and if you follow the build, you should normally be at 13-14k dps, plus the hidden x1.35 of Fire pen. That’s way enough to deal with maps up to T8, T9, and reaching level 90. I agree. Additional DPS becomes to be handy at T10+, from my experience, but at the same time their drop rate is so low that you don’t make many anyway. However, one thing you can do is replacing Faster Casting by Item Rarity. You keep a very good DPS while getting better loot, for your 2ex of investment. That’s what I’m doing most of the time, in fact.

Depends also of what you want to do with your character, I suppose. Personally, it’s my first one working really well, so I want to do Atziri without dying, try Hall of GrandMasters, maybe Uber, a T14 and aT15 map, that king of challenge. Also maybe pushing to level 95. Even if, 92 was already a pain.

You are right.
I have "many" chars around the 80s but this char is "round". I am happy with it.. i have enough currency, but i don´t see the benefit with chaos damage.

I am dual wilding at the moment and my base damage is around 20k-21k. With level 88.
After level 89 i will push for the jewelnodes in the templet to get max. damage.
Maybe i will try it if i have.
I have the 6L infernal mantle, hm mabye.. i will sse.
