SuperSecretTech's Notes

===================================== Chaos Resistance =============================================== As this is a damage taken build with Xibaqua, we need to have capped chaos resistence. This also helps maintain Death's Oath. Death's Oath needs to only be equipped when your regen is over 350 and your chaos res is capped or 500 regen without chaos cap but some + chaos res =================================== Crafting a Bow =================================================== Want to get a fractured bow with either +1, Damage over Time or Chaos damage over time. Use a shrieking essence of dread essence to force +2. You want one of the other rolls from the ones above. If you get DOT and CDOT, and an open suffix. craft cannot roll attack mods and exalt slam (if you have an open prefix). If you get +1 and either DOT or CDOT bench craft the other. Attack speed is useful but raw damage is by far the best option so Levels > DOT Multi > CDOT/DOT > Attack Speed. ==================================== Transendant Mind ================================================ This gives a very large bonus to Chaos Damage Multiplier which is a very massive damage increase. =================================== Glorious Vanity ================================================= Any Xiabaqua rolls work, Make sure to be chaos res capped before putting this in your tree. =================================== Cluster Jewels ================================================= On Large you want 24% + chaos damage, Touch of Crueilty stacks, Unwavering Evil does not. The part that matters it the 30% though. On Medium Flow of Life and Wicked Pall are the best, Brushed with death is next. =================================== Chaos Damage Explicit Rolls ============================================== Roll Iolite rings with Essence of Envy to get chaos damage on implicit and explicit rolls on the rings. ================================== Death's Oath =============================================== Once you have Xiabaqua, this is easy to compensate. You don't want Death's Oath without capped Chaos resistances or at least 1000 life regen and positive chaos resistances. ================================== Sadism ================================================ While not able to select on PoB this is 1000% instant slot, available at level 18 and scales faster than swift affliction. Replace Mirage Archer with this on a 3 link or run it on your 4th. Otherwise Replace Conc effect with Sadism once on a 6 link.
