let me show you an example with total 766% increased damage: https://pastebin.com/bEGu4pAc. Change the void scepter to Sambar scepter at the build. you can see VERY slightly sambar is better. Same pob/build with chaos modded amulet: https://pastebin.com/a73PCUpJ. Compare the scepters to each other again, you'll see that void starts winning. So as i said, in a build which has a lot of increased damage Sambar's are better(as i explained at the first post that increased damage is roughly 640+), in a build which has a lot of increased damage but also have chaos damage conversion mods Void Scepter wins...
so basically, if oyu have 640%+ increased damage and not using atziri flask or using elder modded amulet(13% of non chaos added as chaos) sambars starting to get better after the 640% increased damage threshold.
however, even though you have 700% increased damage, if you are using atziri flask or using elder modded amulet, void scepter wins(void buffs chaos damage too while buffing elemental damage, thats why)
for glass cannon builds, if you are using really good gear and using shaped amulets with phys gained as X mods, sambars are better. if you are using an elder based amulet with chaos mods, voids start getting better.
for non glass cannon builds and inquisitor the choice is simple: void scepter is way way better.

yep, that's a good summary of the discussion. And in the end, if you want to see for yourself, you can always chuck your build into PoB and compare them with your own eyes.
For me, the numbers told me this one was the way to go. Thanks!
