Assistance on theorycraft build!

I mean.. as lame as it is you could probably still run ed/c, with ed being your “other skill” and putting contagion on the totem.

I don’t really see another build that would utilize dark effigy the best, but i suppose you could ignore effigy and just use two other synergizable skills.

If you can get enough attack speed, accuracy and poison duration, Splinter of Lorrata will apply hundreds of poison to enemies, and your dark effigy will be shooting like machine guns (each separate poison counts as 1 instance of DoT). You will most definitely need to do something with weapon swap (1 set for Lorrata + Lycosidae, 1 set for Dark effigy with chaos levels, cast speed, chaos damage, spell damage and extra totem on focus, each set with their own 24 passives allocated). For spell totem, pick whatever charges are easier to generate and use essence drain or contagion or curse or any other chaos DoT just to satisfy the rules of the challenge. Chaotic freeze as support is highly recommended in this setup (your dark effigy will freeze everything).

Many ascendancies can make this work, each with their own pros and cons.
