Notes

Primay Clear -	

				Fireball using scatter shot, wildshards and nodes for extra 2 projectiles
				'Rupture the Soul' to create a detonate effect based around Blasphemy

Scaling -
			
				Chaos Damage 
				Spell Damage 
				Wither Stacks 
				Chaos Resistance/Pen (Despair) 

Additional Options to scale -

				Projectile Damage
				AoE Damage
				Crit Scaling (Fireball base is 7%)


Boss Killing - 

				Fireball + Dark Effigy + Ravenous Swarms

				Fireball will provide a decent amount of hit damage as well as some ignite damage which will be converted to chaos damage due to 'Black Covenant' (new keystone) - see modifiers currently. 
				this should trigger Dark Effigy, coupled with poison from Ravenous Swarms to keep this up consistently. 
				(note: Dark Effigy will cost 3% ES on cast due to Event Horizon as chaos spell) 


Defenses -

				ES primary scaling defense
				10% Damage reduction from Lich Ascendancy 
				10% Damage reduction from Atziri's Disdain (may be better to replace with a rare helmet - especially if struggling with ele res's) 
				5% Damage reduction from 'Heavy Buffer' Anointment 


IMPORTANT - 

				Fire damage will not scale the build due to the order of operations with damage conversion in POE 2: 
			
				Cast Fireball > When Fireball hits damage converted to 100% chaos damage > modifiers to damage take effect


Miscellaneous - 
				
				Darkness Enthroned as a belt will likely be better but may be expensive.
