Chaos bow build

I making a chaos bow build i am using nuros harp right now it more usefull then i thought but i am looking if there unique bow of Chaos I also have the soul Striker so I'm good with that one any unique items to help you increase chaos and reduce chaos resistance on enemies and are you willing to trade I'm looking for the gem that has ChaosS penetration if there is one

There's a bit to unpack here.

1) That bow isn't great. Could definitely be replaced.
2) Unless you're going for energy shield based defenses, that quiver should be replaced.
3) There is no unique bow specifically for chaos.
4) There is no chaos penetration gem, but you can use wither and despair to decrease enemy chaos resistance.

What skill are you using? That is going to determine what you're looking for in equipment.

Yeah the bow isnt good but i use its frozen ground ability and am useing wither and dispair also the the slow cruse one i am useing toxic rain to other chaod skills caustic and Scourge aslo is there a dash choas skills? And heardel of agony the quiver should be replaced with what i think helps a little

true OG chaos bow
phys to lightning gem for more boost


how to "pen" with chaos. not 100% but i believe stacks with wither and void gaze for -chaos rez (i could be wrong here)

void gaze on helm (-20% chaos rez)

just helps voltaxic deal less phys dmg and get extra % as fire/ele dmg which you can convert further

Inpulsa chest seems nice with voltaxic bow as well.

It sounds like you're spread too thin on your skills. You need to choose either toxic rain, caustic arrow, or scourge arrow and put it a 5 link or 6 link and forget about the other two. You can keep using herald of agony with it, but you'll want to get that into another 5 or 6 link, too. The extra links and support gems will help you more than better gear without enough links.

The support gems you use will change depending on what skill you choose. For caustic arrow, use void manipulation, vicious projectiles, swift affliction, concentrated effect, and either empower or damage on full life. Caustic arrow really benefits from extra gem levels over anything else once you get it to level 20, so a good bow for it would have 6 links, +2 levels to bow gems, and +1 level to socketed gems. Increased damage over time is another good mod on the bow, but does less than the gem levels. The actual damage values on the bow almost don't matter here.

Scourge arrow and toxic rain benefit more from a high damage bow than gem levels and will use different support gems to scale damage. They often use mirage archer to help spam attacks since they do more smaller hits.

Any of those 3 skills will benefit from a quiver that has "bow attacks fire an additional arrow." Scourge arrow and toxic rain would benefit from crit chance on the quiver. With caustic arrow, it is nice to have "arrows pierce an additional target" with the additional arrow.

For your curses, I assume you mean temporal chains and despair. Unless you have something allowing you to apply an additional curse, you can only curse an enemy with one of those at a time. When you cast a different one, it gets rid of the first one. Drop temp chains and use something like frenzy+cast on hit+despair+greater multiple projectiles. Wither isn't a curse and can stack up to 15 times. With that use wither+spell totem+multiple totems+increased duration or faster casting. Increased duration makes the totems last longer, but faster casting will apply the wither stacks faster.

With your main skill, frenzy/despair, and wither totems, you pretty much have 2 pieces of gear left for skills. One should have cast when damage taken+immortal call+increased duration+vaal grace. CWDT won't trigger the vaal grace, but vaal grace will benefit from the increased duration. On the last piece of gear you'll have room for blink arrow+faster casting, malevolence aura (boosts damage over time) and something like a golem.

Long story short, focus your skills and then you can choose gear to match, whether it is +gem levels, base damage, crit chance, etc. If you try to do too many things with your character, you won't do any of them well. Choose the attack you like best and focus on that.

i think helps a little thanks for the help yeah i dont have 6 socket gear also i need more link ones to
