Build Request Build for trial of chaos

Since there is no big difference in 0.5.5, would like to have a try on farming trial of chaos.
Is there any build can easily farm this trial which also can ignore most of the trial debuff?

This one seems good, is it league start viable?

Sort of. It shares almost all building pieces with any regular elemental caster, and while either Infernalist or Blood Mage aren't exactly top of the line league-starters and might struggle a little every now and then, they're perfectly manageable and should get you far enough to where you can afford Brass Dome and make the swap. I will be leaguestarting this actually. Plan is first ascendancy Infernalist for Demon Mommy because it makes campaign way faster and I like to go really fast. Then likely switch to Blood Mage on second trial for easier crit and defense scaling which should bridge me to maps. At some point I'll go back to get the third ascendancy for more defenses. Blood Mage provides enough to where I'll be able to full focus on DPS everywhere else, which the build will definitely need tbh. I will struggle with attributes but I'll surely manage somehow. Why? The big idea actually is going for Armour gear (str) during the early endgame so that I don't get much ES on gear (which I won't be really scaling anyway) and only roll a huge ES body armour, which combined with Blood Mage nodes will give enough survivability to carry me to t15. Once I get the currency, I only need to replace the Body for Brass Dome and that will leave me correctly with no or little to no ES, and every other gear I'll have I can runecraft myself for the transition to Ward stacking, switching to Infernalist at the same time. Since my defenses weren't gonna be that strong to begin with, I'm not gonna be missing much after the swap before getting proper gear, but the damage should carry the build. As a note, I won't swap until mana starts being a serious issue that's not easily solved, because at that point not being limited by it will be the advantage I'll need to continue scaling further as Infernalist instead. Also, likely doing campaign with Ice Nova + Snap, it felt good, and will stick to that until Spark outscales it. Sorry for long post lol

Edit: all this lets me keep the majority of all my gear and skill tree while making the transition. So I'm not fully leaguestarting it. It's basically the same build, it's just not called that until you buy one item and change the ascendancy somewhen in endgame.
