Poison is better, Empower+3 is even better.
Yes, you still grab MoM for the mana nodes behind it. Esp. with CoD you'll need a lot of of mana, otherwise MoM won't give you the full benefit. | |
" Hey, Yeah, we still take MoM just to reach the mana nodes! I would rather use Empower (obviously) if you can't afford that Decay is functional, though some prefer Poison. @Garyas: Thanks again! <3 Guides: https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/ghazzy-guide-hub

Maybe you can add to your leveling tips, that it is really useful to trade a magic wand (if possible 3l with B-B-G) and a chaos-related Skill-gem (i.e. poison support or viper strike) for a +1 chaos wand (with Essence Drain, Void Manipulation and Controlled Destruction) at the Vendor. You can play with that setup really long. I'd say it is equal to a 4l 2B-2G (ED, Void Manipulation, Controlled Destruction, Swift Affliction). Additionally you can use a Orb of Augmentation once on your Crafted Wand to get something useful (either Cast Speed or Spell Damage).
We already start with Viper Strike and Poison Support. So I always would recommend the vendor recipe with one chaos related gem + magic wand to get a +1 Chaos Wand early, either for Contagion (pre level 12) or Essence Drain (at level 12 or higher). Last edited by coutoo on Nov 29, 2017, 6:48:49 PM

" Hm... The +1 recipe is alright, though requiring a Wand. But yeah, imma add that right away to the lvling section, was certain I had that added already! :/ Thank you :) If you feel that there's anything else that should be added, feel free to post more!

" Doing everything I can, as always :) This build is as old as the release of the gem actually, it originally was on another thread but I changed so much in it and made a new system for me to respond to everything via so I made new threads for all my builds about 2 years ago.

" Build looks solid, if you wish to kill Shaper / Guardians / higher tier bosses it's possible if you get top tier gear but you could also just get a +3 Chaos staff if you want to focus more on bosses rather than clear speed. :) Guides: https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/ghazzy-guide-hub

So does Vaal Lightning trap no longer work with Cast When Damage Taken Support? I just started playing, so I'm not sure on some interactions.

Having trouble with single target, as expected, but otherwise the build is great. Even with budget gear I am clearing t13 maps at lvl 80. Thank you.
Questions: 1) Is it possible to do some gem swaps for single target? like Poison or smth? 2) Can this be somehow turned into an uber lab farmer? (crazy idea) Thx. ■► It's a business. You won't get the full experience.
