Albrecht's Aether Ray:To Chaos or Not to Chaos?

[Drake Dangereux]

Title says it,is it more profitable to turn the Aether Ray's damage type into Chaos or not? I'm a Warlock if that helps anything ^^

Go to the second character page and see how many +% Aether Damage and +% Chaos Damage do you have.
If you have more +% Chaos, then Chaosify it.

I run an aether sorc build utilizing pan's missile and devastation. I have a few points thrown into the tainted aether ray for those pesky aether-immune critters. To answer your question, consider the synergy with your occultist skills, bonuses on gear, and devotions. If you like, post a link to your build and we may be able to give better constructive input.

http://grimcalc.com/build/qfINtO I'm still very early on in the build but i plan on going full Laser,regarding to devotions i haven't really decided on which i'll go but i've seen a few like Fiend that increase Chaos damage,which is why i was considering Chaosfying it

You should really max out Sigil and Destruction. Think about it like this, if there are 10 enemies on the screen then Sigil only needs to do a 10th of the dps as Chaos Ray to match it's DPS.

Plus, it is key in keeping your health up to facetank enemies. Which means you don't need to break Chaos Ray and lose DPS.

I tried it before with my Permadeath character(which died thanks to a wasp..) and it seemed useless on the level i was playing,i mean i did around 1K damage with the missle,while that Sigil thing only did around 100-120,maybe i was just horribly specced,and the lifesteal didn't seem to good from the 3-4 points i invested in it,but that could just be me ^^

Yeah it is just you.

What other abilities do you cast often? What damage type do they do? In the end you want to do 2 types of damage at most and boost %damage in both of those through the roof (I'm aiming for 2000% but not sure it's actually possible. I got +1500% at level 63.

Pretty much Panetti's atm and then Curse of Frailty,as was told in a very *friendly* manner that it was just me that Sigil wasn't good i'll look into that later down the road,now so i'd say Elemental untill Aether Ray becomes managable to use,and then Aether/Chaos(depending on which road i go down to) and just go buck wild on that damage type and snag some vitality damage ones along the road if it's feasable

Aether Ray builds will likely have 3 damage types. Vitality, fire, and chaos or aether.

Or, using Blood Orb of Chthon (awesome item btw, bumps my dps up like 40%) then you could potentially have just vitality and chaos.

But if you are using a lot of the end-game items, you will still likely end up with 3: vitality, aether, and chaos. You get sexy items like this http://gracefuldusk.appspot.com/items/7778-Essence-of-the-Grim-Dawn

Everything seems to point into the direction of Chaos,especially the Blood Orb item seems really good for synergizing that sweet DPS :o

Not trying to be mean about it, just saying it is a great ability.

You cannot fight fights like this relying upon health potions alone:

The reason it seems so lackluster is probably because you weren't running it with a higher level Destruction. Sigil gives the leech, duration, and size. Destruction gives the damage.
