[3.0] CI Death Aura (Occultist)

EDIT: deleted post to reduce noise. (It turns out I didn't put a point into Chaos Inoculation and everything was fine once I did. =D)

Hey man, nice build !
I'm currently running an ED build for the race and wanted to try it out yours when i'll be back on league.

I was wondering if profane bloom and abyssal cry can stack (i'm pretty sure it can btw). If yes, it can be a rly nice boost for clearing tanky rare mob on maps and boss with ads.
Tell me what do you think about that my friend (i'll try it later anyway)

Definitely can, makes life a lot easier for blight and death aura
Can you explain why you care about "flat" chaos damage on the Malachi's Visage Helmet? I don't understand what flat chaos helps!

I am currently trying out this build in Abyss, mind sharing how you get up to 180 strength for this build? Still not sure what items are there in game exactly
Best advice i can offer is to use temporarily use a couple of the larger +30 strength nodes from passive and use str on amulet & rings until armor can be worn.

Flat chaos damage is applied to the initial hit vs the chaos damage over time

I was wondering about that after having acquired the Malachai helm (and other pieces that provide flat chaos damage) and was unable to verify the impact. So I asked for more input on the mechanics channel and it may be worth reading the response: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2056113/page/1#p15131581

Can you please confirm? This bit is important as these pieces can be expensive (not just the helm, but also jewels) and if the flat damage doesn't help (or really have enough of an impact) then there may be better pieces out there.

Thanks!
Will this build still work in 3.1? I'm all about farming mass mobs and not boss killing.
To my knowledge it is still working but god only knows how many new bugs GGG has created for it. I'll be doing minor testing on the side for this build but because of the large number of bugs there are currently that have now gone very very long without being fixed this project is very very very low priority!

Thanks for pointing that out. As i've stated above the mechanics behind this skill are shady and will take a lot of testing to see what works where, thanks for pointing this out to me though. I've went ahead and taken malachai helm out for the time being until it can be proven a working benefit.
