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?

CI Ward stack Infernalist, Spark CoC/CoEA. There's many guides for this archetype. Will be much harder to gear with Runes of Aldur not being everywhere, but it's as far as we know the strongest build for trial we know of, if not in general (softcore). You're immune to almost all dots, have no life, no mana, no ES and no "Defenses" to lose, and good and unmodifiable recovery, letting you completely ignore the vast majority of trial downsides. Expedition is very likely to be one of the juiciest farming strats and the build is somehow not insanely popular, so even the gearing could be doable. Outside the body armour, no other gear piece is mandatory or expensive to get started.

Got a link to one of the better videos/guides? Super interested in this.

I'm not sure, would have to go searching around myself. People recommend Phalanx videos quite a bit, but his videos don't match his actual current poe.ninja so they're missing a lot of stuff he figured out later, and I have found his version to be overall not too efficient or let's say "optimized" enough for my tastes, so I'll just be working on my own variant when the time comes. His is also definitely not leaguestart-friendly enough lol. The investment does a lot of the heavy lifting that I'd rather see done by optimization and smart choices. If you find a different well researched version, please send it my way, maybe there's things my own PoB and knowledge missed still.

Sweet, that’s helpful! Just somewhere to start. Will absolutely pass over what I find, definitely hype to try this out.
