Kris! Your Chaos DOT Build (Updated for 3.15)

KRIS! This is your Chaos DoT build! If you don't like it, our friendship is over. (If you're not Kris, obviously feel free to play this build. Just keep in mind that I've made this specifically for Kris and the way he likes to play, along with the expectations he has in the game. As this isn't one of my guides, I won't be responding to comments/replies. But have fun and feel free to give feedback.)

GEAR
-------
The filter I made for you will help display the items in the game that will be the most likely to benefit you along with being the easiest to modify to your benefit.

For the most part, you'll only have gear display that is either Evasion (Dexterity) or Evasion and Energy Shield (Dex. and Intelligence) based. Some of the fancier gear will show more base types, which are always good to view. Even if you don't use them, it gets you used to comparing items and knowing what works for you. But, this isn't that important to you unless you want to change the colours of the sockets on the gear you pick up. So what you need to know about changing socket colours in your gear is:
- Gear with Armour is more likely to roll red sockets.
- Gear with Evasion is more likely to roll green sockets.
- Gear with Energy Shield is more likely to roll blue sockets.
- Items with split defences like gear with both Evasion AND Energy Shield, will be more likely to roll both green and blue sockets.
Being able to change socket colours easily is really nice when figuring the game out. I've filtered your gear accordingly.


Mods
Many Modifiers that roll on gear will help you out. The following are the basics to look for:
- Life
- Evasion
- Fire Resist
- Cold Resist
- Lightning Resist
- Chaos Resist
***Anytime you're comparing gear, note that there's a difference between the terms increased and more. In the complicated way that Path of Exile's damage math works, More is way stronger. If you're every choosing between 20% "increased" damage and 20% "more" damage. Choose the item with the "MORE" mod.


Damage Mitigation:
You'll want to look for items that have resistances to Fire, Cold, Lightning, and Chaos. You'll want to eventually have 75% resistance on the three elemental resists (which is hard to do while levelling). Chaos resistances...just take what you can get.


Avoidance:
Evasion:
Your gear will have some Evasion built into it and you may even find some gear with mods that increase your item's evasion even more. Evasion is a mechanic that happens on its own. It's a chance to completely avoid incoming Attacks not spells). The higher your Evasion, the higher your chance to Evade.

Dodge:
You'll eventually invest in Dodging as well. Dodging is VERY similar to Evasion in that it's a chance to simply avoid "miss" damage coming your way. Dodging Attacks and Spells are different investments.

*Evasion and Dodge happen automatically You don't need to do anything for those mechanics to happen.
*Evasion and Dodge only apply to damage that "hits". So Damage Over Time won't be avoided (enemies can burn you, apply their own caustic ground...stuff like that).


Health:
Your primary health with this build is Life. So look for good rolls of Maximum Life on your gear. You'll eventually want good life rolls on ALL your gear except for your bow and flasks.


Bow:
Though your skill hits, it's the effect that happens AFTER the hit that we're scaling our damage to. The caustic ground your skill does is considered a "damage over time" effect. So on the tree, we've invested heavily into Damage Over Time. You'll also notice at the top of your skill's description, that Caustic Arrow has the Chaos tag. So, eventually, you'll be looking for a bow that has modifiers to:
- Chaos damage
- Damage Over Time
- increasing the gem levels Socketed Chaos Gems
- projectile damage (read the gem description).

*Your Caustic Arrow gem doesn't have to be socketed in the bow to get the bonus from your bow's modifiers...unless the modifier has a term that specifies so.


Flasks:
Use any flasks you want! I like to make sure I have a few Life flasks for the longer battles.
Eventually, the idea is that you won't need a mana flask. (That's what your Clarity skill is for.)
Utility Flasks are cool. They have fewer uses to them but have some strong perks. I've included Quartz and Quick Silver flasks in your filter. Quartz lets you phase and increases your Dodge Chance while Quicksilver increases movement speed. Use and many (of none) of each as you like.
