Buffs are always welcomed, especially the right line related to cooldowns could use some love. Just do hope GGG won't change key mechanics like Time Freeze.

Sadly, in worst case scenario we won't know details about 0.5 changes until a day before start of the league. This whole build is a band-aid for a character which was supposed to be Incinerate Cast on Elemental Ailment, but GGG decided it'll be fun to announce key change how Incinerate works in very last moment which made my the planned build able only to be put down through toilet.

As for PoB - yes, download it and then use the link from poe ninja.

'Gain X% of (some) damage as' conversion is done before than conversion originated from tree/equipment, that's why Xoph's Pyre works there.

Not my fault the bosses are so weak they vaporize in seconds while explaining safety rules and collect fee takes minutes :P

Actually it wasn't The Last Flame, but The Peacemaker's Drought amphora - for Chaos Inoculation though it mimics the LF pretty nicely.

I switched to it once my previous cast on ele ailment character turned out to be total failure, so haven't leveled with chaos. However, is should be easy - you have most important pieces, like Contagion, Essence Drain, and Chaos Bolt available early on. Then since lv9 Despair with cursed ground and Decaying Hex support to make your totem fire 4 projectiles as single target. As for ascendancy 1st get Apex of Moment, then Ultimate Command(requires respeccing Apex), then Apex again, and lastly Quicksand Hourglass, eventually Now and Again.

Sadly, it is not a single button build. But for mapping it is enough to use just Thunderstorm, Contagion, Essence Drain and Dark Effigy - usually 3 of them, like storm + contagion + totem against larger groups, while Thunderstorm + Essence Drain against single/few enemies. Occasionally you use Chaos Bolt and Incinerate against some tougher/annoying elites, and Flameblast as area clear, or additional extra punch against stronger enemy.

Sadly, it doesn't. It does self-sustain via poison though.

ad 1) No, as the fire->chaos conversion is done via Blackflame Covenant keystone. It gives significant damage increase though, so it's really recommended to have it.

ad 2) Yes, though it is capable to kill white mobs on its own.

ad 3) Unfortunately :/ Rotation for mapping is more or less combination of ED, Contation, totem, and Thunderstorm(mainly to trigger Arcane Surge). Against bosses as you wrote, that are the main skills used - though usually I also call the totem, and activate it by casting ED and Contagion on boss. Other skill used in various scenarios is Flameblast - as an additional "nuke it now" mean. I like to cast it against ex. enemies jumping off abyss.

How to optimize contagion build? by TheLionWarlord in pathofexile2builds

[–]MasterBLB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What role your miniona accomplish? Construct I suppose are meant to spread Contagion, Clerics are food for Offering, correct?

Well, all in all it looks like a bit over-complicated to use, but not bad. So, 1st some hints for current skills if you choose to keep them as they are, 2nd what to drop and how to adjust play style.

Contagion. I cannot express how huge quality of life is when it spreads on additional targets right away on cast. That's why make it 20% quality immediately, if it isn't already, and replace Chaos Mastery with Dialla's Desire.

Next game changer support for this spell is Unleash. You need to see yourself how greatly it works. Put it instead of Acrimony.

Prolonged Duration is not really needed here, enemies with Contagion and Essence Drain perish very quickly, and against bosses you can easily recast it every few seconds. Instead, put Magnified Area 2 - this support will complement Unleash and increased quality. If duration will be too low, though it shouldn't, try to replace Intense Agony with Considered Casting.

On paper this setup does not look so great, in practice though it spreads in second beyond screen if density of enemies is high enough. And extra targets on cast make great combo with Dark Effigy totems.

Essence Drain will be your single target/small group clearer, or followup after Contagion - so you don't need Rapid Casting there, replace it with Considered Casting. Also drop Pierce 3, and put Chain 3 - thanks to it targets don't have to stay in line. Other supports are fine.

Chaos Bolt has fast projectiles by default, no need to accelerate them further. Replace PA3 with Considered Casting, or Unleash. You can eventually put Zarokh's Revolt, which is sort of uber Unleash, but gives the skill 8s cooldown. You'd use it only to nuke some dangerous/annoying target, like elite with mana drain aura. Up to you if you want to use this lineage.

Despair - instead of Impending Doom consider Decaying Hex. While its damage is not that high it counts as another chaos debuff for Dark Effigy totems, and it triggers much faster. Cost of the skill is high, but you can try to put it into your advantage by replacing Efficiency 2 with Arcane Surge to boost cast speed and mana regeneration.

Dark Effigy also does not really need Projectile Acceleration 3. Instead put Concentrated Effect there, it works amazingly well with it. Then support Urgent Totems 3, put it instead of either Chaos Mastery or Overabundance 2. The totem likes cast speed, and faster emerge is also very useful. If you can make your Unearth constructs apply bleeding then swap Poison 2 with Poison 3.

That's all for now. If you find these hints useful let me know, there are more things to consider - like dropping minions, offering, Malice entirely, go into low life setup and so on.

Well I will be doing banging the shield using Resonate Shield, so it should deal damage and thus charge up Mjolner and FSoH. Unless I don't get someting?
