how do you like Unshattered Will? It looks like it could help on Single target and resists freeing up rings for chaos dmg etc.

There's some discussion about Unshattered Will on like, page 11 or so, but the tl;dr is that it gives way less stats for a periodic buff that isn't too interesting. The extra armour, ES, and elemental barrier are HUGE. Run either/or though, or a rare with some neat Shaped/Elder mods. The build is flexible as long as you're tanky.

I have another question.
Why use despair aura with blasphemy if we want to use witchbrew anyway? It would free amulet slot I quess?

Since 100% of our damage is Chaos DoT, having ANY Despair downtime hurts our damage more than we'd like. Adding to that the fact that we have no room for flask nodes or recharge, it's not feasible. Witchfire Brew is just Chaos Lion's Roar. We don't care about the effect, but rather the numbers boost (40% more Damage).

Order of gems is actually important in death oath? I ended up with G-G-G-B-B-R chest.

Order does not matter, but colours do. 3 green sockets is restrictive in that there are only 2 green support gems we can ever run (Void Manipulation, and Swift Affliction coupled with Arcane Surge). Blue sockets enable us in that we can always stack Increased/Concentrated Effects if we need. So you got lucky in a very unlucky way I suppose.

The Grey Spire is actually pretty defensive and helps with the Degen effect from Death's Oath as well because it gives you the ability to overcap your Chaos Resistance to 79% as well. Please take a look at how I built my mockup on POB and let me know what you think.

Spoiler alert: at high levels, we don't even cap chaos resistance. At level 98 I had around 20%. High life total + regen + killing stuff always and forever renders the degen nonexistant. I've seen the videos on Reddit, as well, and I'll admit that the Grey Spire probably makes clearing Tier 4s a dream. If it had life on it, perhaps, but as it stands even twin Dark Seers gives us better value.

Thanks for this build! It's a lot of fun. This is where I am so far https://pastebin.com/1QD5gb2c
Working on getting the amulet but its rather expensive. I was curious why you don't take the +chaos resist/+life nodes that are very close to your tree?

Taking chaos resistance around that skill node wheel means either pathing through both sides, or giving up 24% damage. We can get better damage mitigation (the kind that works for all damage - not just our own) by taking more life and life regen instead. The (sad) truth is that Chaos resistance is underpowered across all items and nodes. Rings that can roll upwards of 60% to an elemental resistance cap at 42% chaos. The implicit mods on amethyst jewelry is lower than the elemental equivalents, and so on. Staying above 0% is important, but yields diminishing rewards when we try to build specifically around it.

Hi,thanks for the guide,I have a question here : should I make my hp:mp=7:3 to prevent sudden death while mana is drained out? my current hp is about 4000,mana is 2200,is this enough?

Matters less than you think; I've never kept a specific ratio in mind. The only "sudden death" situations are when you're facing a single enemy and cannot kill with Patient Reaper. Coupled with Blights pitifully low mana cost, we're never out of mana for long. Soul of Arakaali mitigates a good deal of poisons, bleeds and ignites, which tend to hurt regen the most.
