[Outdated] Zivko's CI Chaos Incinerate build - 200k dps / 10 000 ES

I honestly don't get the point in making an end-game build guide for a game that requires so much to respec. Just do a leveling guild with an end game build, not too much harder than a end-game guide and people can actually use it.

Best guide ever.

I leveled as hybrid, here's the tree containing all the life nodes i had before i switched to CI (its only hybrid life+es nodes).

Leveling as hybrid is really really good, i has total of 5.5k life+es before i respeced to ci, ghost reaver was keeping my es up, and i used flask to keep life up.

I respeced out of life+es nodes at lvl 68 (right after +1 pt from act 4 merc quest) when i could equip infernal mantle which has ~550ES and could use atziri's flask. At that point i already had ~6-7k lmp tooltip, ghost reaver and vaal pact. Life leech + warlords mark + atziri's promise gave enough leech to be able to drop life flasks which kept me alive till then.

Not 1 regret is needed for respec when leveling as hybrid, in fact only 6 respec points are mandatory, but i used all of them taking some close nodes and then when nodes accumulate respecing into more distant nodes to make leveling smoother.

great job, like the build.

Hi me again :D
Forgot to ask but what jewels do you use since you've allocated three spots for them.
Thanks

atm these three, but hopefuly i'll be able to replace 2nd one with something better

Hi Ogrec,


I am not new player, but I must say the guide is a bit confusing. Could you please do skill tree for levels 30,50,70 for example. This way we could follow the whole transition from hybrid to CI. Also what spell did you use to level up with? Currently I am level 35 and having HUGE mana problems to sustain Incinerate only with LMP linked to it. The build looks solid, but please give us a bit more information how you moved in the skill tree.

Do you happen to remember how many damage passives you had allocated at lvl 68? My tooltip dps is only about 5k at this point, but I'm sitting on 7.5k ES. I just don't see how it scales to 15k, even though I know I still have a lot of spell- and elemental damage left untaken. I'm also using a 5L mantle, so that should also increase my dps. Is the +1 corrupt better on it?

I've updated the guide.

I've finally managed to 5L +1 infernal mantle and i've leveled to 89 which allowed me to switch gear a bit and now build has more dps, more leech and more es.

With every new level on your incinerate you will be getting 1k damage, later 1.5k when you get more damage.
I'm using a high spell damage shield and doryani's invitation. If you dont have fire/spell damage on belt & shield, you're losing 80-90% increased damage.
Dont worry about dps currently being low, once your gems hit lvl 20 you'll have at least 10k tooltip with 4L mantle, with 5L you should be hitting 14-15k once you upgrade your gear and reach close to lvl 90.

+1 gems infernal mantle gives more dps then lvl2 empower in a 5L chest because it also adds +1 to spell echo and lmp.
You can try and corrupt mantles if you have enough currency and feel lucky. On average you need 38 mantles before you get +1 gems, but deviation of attempts is pretty high and you could corrupt 100 and see not +1 gems.

You'll need some mana flasks to support incinerate if you dont have elreon rings (i didnt have when leveling so i used mana flasks instead). If you can get an elreon ring and amulet, you'll pretty much have free 3L incinerate (you dont need life leech right away, as hybrid you can use flasks and if you lose es just kit monsters a bit, es starts regenerating after only 2 seconds.

skill tree for ~lvl 30 - https://www.pathofexile.com/fullscreen-passive-skill-tree/AAAAAwMB37CCEI-mRKtVrt-KLJwQWIdlK3gfxy2LbRki9GwLkyfviPk3189JsVM1UEKMNqSx5Y6dY13y (till 30 i leveled with that new skill magma orb or something, when i got lmp i switched to incinerate and breezed to act 3)

Thank you, this will help me !
