Weapons
The build's mapping capabilities are centered around the Palm of the Dreamer scepter, which enhances our mapping abilities in two primary ways.
This unique item has the implicit stat of increasing our Chaos damage, as well as granting the passive effect Dreaming Gloom Shrine, which makes enemies explode for Chaos damage upon death, dealing a percentage of their HP in an AoE.
Armor and Accessories
Try to get as much life as you can on all your armor pieces, and make sure you have the necessary resistances capped, because this build doesn't have many options for survivability.
In order to increase the number of projectiles after a target is hit, equip Snakepit ring on the left ring slot to make your fireballs fork. This passive enables the build's exceptional mapping potential, when used in conjunction with Palm of the Dreamer.
Ensure that your other accessories have the correct modifiers, and anoint Pure Chaos into your amulet for additional damage.

Thane Girt's Rune of Wildness is a valuable addition to this build, offering a 25% chance to increase projectiles when using skills. This rune effect is applicable to both your mapping and bossing capabilities, as it benefits both Ember Fusilade and Fireball.
Farrul's Rune of Grace keeps you mobile while casting, and the Talisman of Eeshta reduces your skill costs. Fill the rest of your armor socket slots with Greater Iron Runes.
You may need to use some elemental runes to maximize your resistances but ideally, your resistances would come mostly from your gear so you can use more sockets for Greater Iron Runes.

 Rite of Passage |
 Fall of the Axe |
 Nascent Hope |
|||
Your belt will need three total charm slots and the ability to gain charges per second on its own because we will be slotting three Unique charms into it.
Rite of Passage increases your damage output when you are possessed by the spirit of the serpent, and the same goes for Fall of the Axe when Onslaught triggers.
Nascent Hope is one of our few defensive options. It enables Energy Shields to immediately start recharging when the charm's effect is triggered.

In most cases, Fireball will be your primary damaging skill, capable of clearing the entire screen with a single cast. We will be socketing Unleash to it to increase the overall damage, as well as the two new lineage support gems, Sione's Temper and Xoph's Pyre.
Sione's Temper has the potential to significantly enhance our projectiles, eliminating the need for repeated casting against multiple targets.
We will be socketing Snap to Cast on Critical and taking SIphon Elements to generate elemental infusions. Fireballs infused with an elemental infusion will increase their projectiles and significantly boosting their damage.
While its impact on Ember Fusilade is minimal, given its restricted use in this build to single targets, the additional projectiles provided by infusions make elemental infusions worth getting.
The remaining skills complete the build, primarily by increasing damage dealt to enemies via debuffs and auras, as well as enhancing survivability.

The build revolves around the new keystone passive, Blackflame Covenant, which converts all our fire damage into chaos damage. To supplement this, we will take nodes that increase chaos damage, such as Event Horizon, Spaghettification, and Entropy.
The remaining passive nodes, such as Critical Overload and Melding, will prioritize critical hits and energy shield nodes to enhance both damage and survivability.

The Heart of the Well Diamond offers an excellent selection of Abyssal modifiers that complement this build. These modifiers allow us to recover resources when we kill an enemy. This mapping runs smoothly; we only need to wait for Unleash to come off cooldown between casts.
