[Outdated] Zivko's CI Chaos Incinerate build - 200k dps / 10 000 ES

GGG decided to kill this build off. Nerfing Incinerate was not enough.

"

The chaos damage conversion on The Consuming Dark has been lowered from 75% to 50%.

R.I.P.

What a sad sad day today is...

And I had just spent like 15ex 6linking and getting the exact colors on mantle like 2 weeks ago...

Wait, my dagger seems to still have 75% conversion, I just checked. So it works only for newly acquired daggers and these are made sorta legacy now?

@Kelvynn
read the comment on previous page.

yes, consuming dark has a legacy version now with 75% fire dmg converted to chaos. to get 100% conversion you need to dual wield daggers now.




Due to the growing number of requests, i'll try and update the guide on wednesday (or at least by friday this week). Pls dont send me any more messages.


Here's the skill tree for those anxious to play the build asap.
You can use occultist (pick Void Beacon, Wicked Ward and Vile Bastion). With Vile bastion you can probably sustain Blood Rage to speed up clear speed, but you'll still have to drop it for longer boss fights.
To proc Elemental Overload use this 4L - Blade Vortex + ics + cwdt + Orb of Storms
BV has to be lower lvl then cwdt to proc on cwdt and Orb of Storms has to be higher level then cwdt so you could selfcast it vs bosses.

Since occultist gets stun immunity on full energy shield and this build leeches pretty fast, you could drop Eye of Chayula for Elreon Amulet and replace reduced mana with some other support (faster casting being the best option). I haven't tested it yet, but i assume Controlled Destruction should be replaced by Elemental Focus as it has higher damage multiplier. I would keep Void Manipulation as it scales both Incinerate and poison DoT and none of the broken interactions with Poison have been nerfed yet (instead damage conversion on Consuming Dark was nerfed for some reason :S ).

If you dont have legacy Consuming Dark, you can play this build just fine with non-legacy 50% damage conversion, you'll still have total of 75% conversion which is more then enough to get high leech with VP (this is the primary reason this build uses consuming dark and mantle, to get most leech out of Atziri's Promise).
You can alternatively replace shield with another Consuming dark and drop Infernal Mantle (read my comment on previous page).

Which skill points would you replace if you wanted to use firestorm?

Firestorm would probably scale a lot better trough crit then Elemental Overload, especially considering build has 160% crit chance by default just from consuming dark and infernal mantle. I would rather use assassin then occultist for firestorm and a tree i'd use would be this:

Update: I have slightly updated the guide, added a skill tree and link to my character so you can see gem setup. I will completely update the guide with videos and damage/defense screenshots once ggg adds remaining passive points to characters in merciless, i dont feel like running labs 3 times for a build i dont have time to play atm.

Thanks again for the guide, just wanted to add an observation on occultist:

The -20% chaos resistance on enemies "near" you is really quite a distance away. It seems to more than hit the top and bottom of the screen, and get most of the way left and right. With 20 quality incinerate and 30% projectile speed from the tree, if you can hit it the debuff will be active. 20% more damage is no joke. (at 0% chaos resistance. Like most penetration, the higher the resistance, the more valuable it is)

Thank you dearly for taking the time to respond me in a helping way. I think I'll try a poison storm occultist with a similar build you have just posted. I'm not sure if it will be good enough in end game though. Guess I'll just try it and see.

Guide has been fully updated.

@Covenant
Range of Void Beacon is slightly shorter then Incinerate with 20% quality + 30% projectile speed on the tree.
You can check the new video i posted, enemies affected by the debuff have indicator on them. For clearing this debuff is unimportant, its only usefull for rares and bosses which this build facetanks anyway.

Hi there.
You think the support gem Elemental Focus would work on this build? Perhaps its even better then Void manipulation or controlled destruction as this incinerate never inflicts status aligments.
