How do you get enough int/dex for the wand and herald of plague? Level 20 herald of plague is 205 dex and the wand is about 200 int

There just doesn't seem to be enough stats allocated to meet that and you don't seem to have any dex on gear

chaos bolt is only level 19, so its 191 int and i m only using a lvl 12 herald

cant use wind dancer, so getting evasion high enough to use queen is going to be hard

Got it. I'm stacking HP for extra crit damage, so I don't know much about evasion stacking.

Another thing - did you consider using some chaos dot with "Chaotic Freeze" support? I put it into Contagion, because of it's duration. It's great for freezing bosses. I start with Cont and freeze most bosses with Chaos Bolt in few seconds. I also put Hinder support, but I'm not using Herald, so perhaps you don't need it.

A question of understanding: how do you get both Chaos Bolt and Decompose with one wand?

thats actually quite nice, but too many buttons to press for me.

ah okay, thanks. Did you play from level 1 with this build? Did you only use Chaos Bolt before you found the shoes? Seems a bit difficult to me.

i used this to level up:

1-22 widowhail lightning arrow + lightning rod (try to get as much flat attack dmg on quiver/rings/gloves, also works for the gas arrow setup later)

22-33 radiant grief helmet + gas arrow

33+ switch to chaos bolt + decompose setup if you got 100% chance to poison on chaos bolt (lvl9 decompose on boots = lvl31 req )

for stat reqs get atleast 61 dex for the lowest herald of plague lvl8, put all other points into int

priotize getting +level for chaos bolt

for the ascendencies take grasping wounds second and switch to sunder flesh when you get the third
