Main Gearing Tips:

Uniques:

Grab a Atziri's Disdain immediately. This gives you a massive amount of energy shield, which will is key to the build.

If you have good rings, get an Ingenuity belt as this will boost damage + resistances on them

Spell Levels:

We can get a ton of spell levels on our gear, and this gives a massive damage boost to our chaos spells

Wand: +5 to chaos levels
Focus: +2 to all spell skills
Amulet: +2 to all spell skills

Stats Focus:

Aim for + chaos damage and + spell damage everywhere you can get it.
Try and get good rolls on + cast speed as we have to throw out lots of spells per pack.
Get + max life life everywhere, as this gives us more energy shield.
Get + energy shield everywhere as its our main defensive.
fill out any gaps with elemental resistances (rings can have + to all elemental resistances)

Gems Explained:

Curses:

We run Despair twice

On its own, with Decaying Hex socketed. This is for big damage and the get the max benefit from reduced chaos resistance.
Within Blasphemy This is to give us a slightly worse chaos resistance but instantly cast on everything around us.

You can choose when to have it on or off. But generally, if you're running fast content like breaches, map farming or other content where mobs spawn fast. You will want Blasphemy to apply your curse so you can focus on casting other spells like chaos DoTs and Unearth. Then you can cast Despairmanually when things are slower, such as bosses or doing rituals/strongboxes.

Unearth:

We run unearth and assign it to our second weapon swap (shown in detail in video). This means whenever we use unearth to summon scorpions, we do it with +7 levels to minions effectively, and a ton of passive tree buffs. Giving us mega juiced minions that give us tons of defensive and spread our contagion.

Passive Tree

123

set 1:

set 2:

We make use of weapon swap points to fill our minion nodes for raising our unearth scorpions and then chaos damage for our chaos damage. Letting us take many of the energy shield nodes with our main points.

How it Plays

This is a full chaos damage over time build (DoT), where we apply multiple chaos DoTs like Contagion, Essence Drain and Decaying Hex, to quickly delete enemies. We then spread the debuffs with Contagion when we defeat the enemies.

On top of this we have a huge swarm of bone constructs that all spread our debuffs thanks Unearth

How it Works

Cast Essence Drain first as its our main damage ability.
Cast Contagion on the same mob that you cast Essence Drain on so that it spreads afterwards.
If the mob has lots of health, or is elite/unique, cast Despair to reduce chaos resistance.

Cast Unearth on any corpses to arise them into bone constructs (scorpions), if the enmies that died has Contagion, these bone constructs will gain it too and can spread it to all enemies.
