voidheart is only for melee damage

Man I'm a dingus. There goes my plans. I just feel like I should be doing tons more damage. I need to get good chaos rings/amulet.

sorry relatively new to the game and trying this build out, why is flat chaos so much better than % chaos? does it apply to other elements too? like a % increase element vs fire or cold or lightning flat element is much better too?

Because the flat chaos damage will be scaled by most your damage nodes on the tree and your support gems where as the %chaos will just be another increase in damage.

I was skeptical of how important flat chaos to jewelry was until I enchanted mine. It felt like my damage had doubled. I was blown away.

My gear. Working on upgrades.

Gear update


Almost at elreon 7 so will be removing mastercraft on rings and amulets and putting chaos dmg on. Saw someone had legacy rotc on here with only 9 challenges done, the insane luck or amount of time invested in flipping to get that is huge.

So here's my gear and tree:



I can't afford a 6L QoTF, and accidentally linked a Kintsugi with 30 fuses, so I use that.
Here's my dilemma: I only have 4.6k life atm (about 4.7-4.8 when i grab written in blood at 92), and I wonder if i dropped a bunch of proj dmg nodes and the Lioneye's fall jewel for life nodes I would have enough dmg or not. I'm sitting at 21.8k dps in hideout with Herald of Ash and ice golem up.
A little help is much appreciated.

can this build work as tornado shot ?

Quoted for truth, flat chaos is a much more effective damage boost than %, hence why I craft with cheap screaming essence of envy, the difference in DPS between 25% to 34% really isn't that noticable. If you got currency to burn, though...

This build switches LA for TS in ele reflect maps with no real differences in killspeed, so I'd say yes.

If I'm using Deaths Opus, should I be using LMP?

I didn't use it and never had problems, quite surprised that the difference to old Reach isn't that noticable ,at least not up to T10 where I'm at. I expect to feel the nerfs in T13, I'm honsetly more pissed off with Drillneck nerf than Reach nerf ATM.

AS someone said before , aoe is smaller without lmp when you dont have a +1Drillneck yet but its doable, iwas never running lmp even when i didnt have the +1 Drillneck.

Did a little gear upgrade, dps now is 29k with HoA and ice golem up. Should I sacrifice some dmg to get more life? 4.7k life atm.


Also what should be the reasonable endgame TS dps for this build?

Are you just relying on ascendancy and bloodrage to generate poison/bleed?

What bandit are people taking in 2.6 merc? the skill point

Thanks
