I made a funny build stacking light radius for CWS chieftain to scale hinekora range and secondary damage.

Currently CWS uses unearth + dd with an emphasis on ignite damage, with added aoe where you can get it. I had some problems where the penance mark phantoms would spawn too far away and even when you got hinekoras to proc it wouldnt proliferate onto kosis.

The solution I found was to use light radius to scale both aoe and secondary damage, since hinekora’s ignite will override any ignite detonate dead applies anyways.

I tried to do it on as poopy gear as I could (minus the amulet because the anoint is expensive)

Light radius has no penalty based on low life in open areas so theres no downside to use petrified blood and you also get the full value out of loris lantern. The radius is still large even when doing the hateful accuser swap.

Upgrades would be the following:

- different belt

- dual wield nebulis with light radius implicit for about 2.5x the current damage.

- mageblood

Total cost maybe 20 div? Mostly in gems + defiance + cloak of flames.

The rest of the gear is dirt cheap. I bought the nyctas for 1 c each, and light radius implicit nebulis for 50 c each. The helmet I think was 30c? + level of desecrate is more important than burning damage. The corrupt on loris is irrelevant, i just picked it up because it was also like 10 or 20c.

boots and gloves you can buy a fractured veiled dex and int mod, then spam chaos res essence to get all the stats you want (after that you just want life). The base doesnt matter, but I guess avoid evasion since you want to get hit.

Nameless bloodline and the massive belt aren't good, I just used the belt because it was 14 c.

Expansive might does not stack, so don't get two clusters with it.

EDIT:

Other assorted notes:

- Shock nova I mainly used to see the aoe radius while the waves were going on. Any other spells can be used, its probably not important. Same for hex blast.

- Clusters could also use some work. Might be a more efficient way to get endurance charges and free up some points as a result

- Since you're hitting so much and have the watchers eye, life regen isnt really an issue, skyforth to free up a ring slot for a helical ring might be an option (or gifts from above).
