0.3 - Build of the week - The Reaper Mage | Blood Mage Physical Spell Build | 62% Extra Chaos

Hello guys, welcome.

This is a build which is will work only from 0.3, previous version of the game will not have this build work well. Because in 0.3 GGG has release Reaping Staff which is provide a first strongest ever Physical Spell - Reap.
And so on this build I'm building it around the Reap and Physical, Spell stuff.

Regarding all those information above, BloodMage seems like a good option for this kind of combo.
You need to get yourself level 55/78 to get the Reaping staff which has good mods and fit for the level.

Skills:

Bonestorm



Cast on Critical DD



Reap (Last slot gonna be Heft)



Orb of Storm



Frost Bomb



Bone Cage



Arc



Curse and Remnant



Main Damage
Reap & Arc is your primary damage on clearing the path.
Bone Cage & BoneStorm -> Empower for Reap is your primary damage on single target/bosses.

Persistence
Cast on Crittical Strike socketed with Detonate Dead will be your 2nd main damage on this build.

--USE WEAPON SET of REAP for Phys skill, WEAPON SET 2 for Ele skill--

Skills uses:
Arc: for shooting monster out of melee range
Bone Cage: or get out of tough situation (surrounded)
Bonestorm: burst dmg single target
Reap: rest of the map/boss stuff

Bossing/single target skill rotation would be:
1 Place Orb of Storm & Frost Bomb + Vulnerability.
2 Hit both Life flask & Mana flask.
3 Use Bone Cage on Boss/target spawn spot.
4 Hold Bonerstorm for max duration and release before "Pin" effect from Bone Cage expired.
5 Reap the Boss/target till it die (ideally 3 hit, some case 4-5 hit max)
6 After all the effect of above 5 steps setup expired, if the Boss/target still alive, loop from step 3.

Ascendancy (How to ascen is here https://maxroll.gg/poe2/resources/poe-2-ascendancy-overview)
1th Sanguimancy The first way to go.
2rd Vitality Siphon Spell leeching to have a good combination with the instance leech of gloves.
3rd Sunder the Flesh Inc the base crit chance which is core thing of the build.
4th Gore Spike Bonus damage from HP, more life more damage.
5th Grasping Wounds More survivability for the HP losing is becoming life lost over 4s.

Passive tree gonna looking like this:



--Weapon--

Budget:
Atleast has +7 Phys spell
Rest of modifer can be optional



Best:

-> Socketed by 2 Hedgewitch Assandra's Rune of Wisdom


-> +7 phys spell
-> cast speed
-> inc phys spell
-> %inc spell damage per 100 max life



--Weapon set2--

For Elemental Skill



--Boots--

Trampletoe
For massive clearing and also optimizing max damage dealing.



--Gloves--

Atziri's Acuity
For survivability and good corruption related to break armour or reduce monster armour



--Amour--

Optional, just get much life scale as possible



--Ring--

Require cast speed, life & inc remnant effect is optional



--Jewel--

From Nothing Diamond - Allocate CI to cover lots of node



Agains the Darkness Time-lost Diamon - cover all the node combo with From Nothing Diamiond to have 7 Notable of extra Chaos damage.



Heart of the Well Diamond
For Crit bonus, Extra Chaos, & Life recoup



Q&A:

How I can scale the survivability of the build?
-> Scale your HP bar by gear, replace Cast on Critical Strike by Arctic Armour and have additional spirit defense gem (example Blink for escape).

How I can scale the damage of the build?
-> Scale your Crit Dame Bonus, get yourself lv90 atleast to have Reap max link.
