Herald Chain Exploder 0.5 (updated for 0.5.5)

Spirit Vessel provides us with a companion, Meat Shield II and Hulking Minions keep the companion alive while also increasing its Tankiness Romira's Requital redirects a portion of the damage we take to our companion, giving us additional survivability. Amanamu's Tithe grants Abyssal buffs whenever our companion dies, while Elemental Army adds 30% resistance to our companion

Whirling Assault is our main clearing skill. Magnified Area II provides more AoE, while Efficiency II helps with Mana sustain. Cold Attunement and Embitter greatly increase our Cold Damage, helping us consistently Chill enemies and trigger Herald of Ice chain explosions. Rage III provides additional damage while mapping and bossing.

Herald of Ice We use Armour Break III, Uruk's Smelting, and Armour Explosion. By adding Extra Physical Damage from our gear and passive tree, Herald of Ice can now deal Physical Damage, allowing it to break Armour and trigger Armour Explosion. Cold Attunement is also mandatory, as it adds extra Cold Damage to Armour Explosion, making our chain explosions even stronger. Finally, we increase the explosion radius with Magnified Area II.

Falling Thunder is our bossing skill. Nova Projectiles I allows it to fire its projectiles in a circle, while Breachlord's Amalgam causes those projectiles to return to us, potentially doubling our damage. Culmination II further increases our damage by consuming Combo, while Blindside increases both our Critical Hit Chance and Critical Damage. Elemental Armament II further boosts our Elemental Damage.

Charged Staffis supported by Bounty II to gain our Charms more often, Blind II, Culling Strike II, and Thrill of the Kill II, which grants 25% increased Lightning Damage on culling an enemy. Finally, Blazing Critical provides another 15% Fire Damage.

Hand of Chayula is mainly used to generate Power Charges during boss fights.Culmination II, Ailith's Chimes, Living Lightning II, and Charge Profusion II work together to quickly generate Power Charges. After spending 10 Combo, we instantly reach maximum Power Charges. On top of that, Sniper's Mark increases the Critical Damage Bonus of our next Critical Hit.

Wind Dancer provides an insane amount of Evasion with each stage. On top of that, it can trigger an explosion when we are hit, adding another layer of survivability. We support it with Blind II, Armour Break III, Armour Demolisher II, and Magnified Area II.

Charge Regulation provides us with insane Evasion and Energy Shield while mapping. Thanks to Herald of Ice and Armour Break III, we constantly generate Endurance Charges, giving us additional defences, while Power Charges provide a massive boost to our Critical Hit Chance. These are multipliers, not increased modifiers, making them extremely powerful.

Finally, we have Ghost Dance, providing another defensive layer. Ghost Shrouds are consumed when we get hit, instantly restoring Energy Shield based on our Evasion Rating and making the build even tankier.
