Chaos Lifesteal Spell Slinger
Chaos Spell SlingerA ranged Chaos caster that keeps enemies ignited to unlock stacking damage multipliers while leeching health back on every burning hit. The Apocalypse greatsword and the Chaos Kindling passive each add 25% damage to ignited targets, and a crit-driven cooldown loop keeps spells firing almost nonstop. Built around the 1.1 Vampire Awakening pick-five passive system, it prioritizes movement and illusions to stay at range and self-sustains through Renewing Flames and spell life leech.

Survivability
Strong self-sustain via spell life leech, Renewing Flames ignite healing, and Agonizing Flames on Void
Boss
Carries V Blood fights like Dontos even with sloppy play. Chaos Barrage finishes bosses
Chaos Spell Slinger
Chaos is V Rising's fire-magic school. Its spells apply Ignite, a burning damage-over-time effect, and its passives reward keeping enemies on fire with bonus damage and self-healing. The Spell Slinger identity leans on ranged Chaos spells over melee, using illusions and movement speed to fight from a distance.
Best-in-slot blood for the build. Boosts spell power, crit chance, movement speed, and life leech, and spell crits raise cooldown rate by 40% for 3 seconds to fuel the rotation.
Core weapon for the build. Its Great Cleaver skill makes ignited enemies take 25% more damage, and the legendary version fires a lesser shockwave in a line. Even on a spell-focused build it earns its slot for the ignite synergy and its melee panic button when enemies close in.

How to Obtain
Mandatory amulet that ties the build together. Provides spell power and spell life leech, and its Lesser Power Surge effect grants weapon ignites plus increased movement and attack speed.
