Chaos damage is poison in some cases, but not always. Chaos damage ignores armour, elemental resistances and energy shield. The only way so far to have resistance (in this case immunity) to chaos damage is by getting Chaos Inoculation from passive skills tree.

Soulrend and Bane are two new gems, that are introduced in patch 3.6. They are both Chaos Damage over Time Gems, that synergize with each other very well. Soulrend is a projectile skill, that pierces through all enemies, applying DoT effect in an area around enemies. Bane skill not only applies DoT but also all linked the Curses on each cast, dealing much more damage for each Curse applied this way. On top of massive chaos damage, this build has insane Defense, thanks to curses like Enfeeble or Temporal Chains and Energy Shield leech from Soulrend. It's also a great starter build because it doesn't require expensive uniques to start dealing massive damage.

1. Gameplay
In order to reach the maximum potential of this build, you need to cast Bane on packs of enemies to apply all the curses and then send projectiles that should kill whole packs in no time. For your movement, you are going to use Shield Charge and Quicksilver Flasks which combined with Trickster's Ghost Dance will make you move through maps with lightning speed.

Every node on the Passive Skill Tree that we are picking for the final build will boost our leveling skills as well, so leveling should be very fast and easy. On top of that, we can add Spell Totem that will cast Wither to increase Chaos Damage Taken by enemies.

Path of exiles str dmg calculation. BTW, about not fitting the style of the game - I completely agree, D3 with floating dmg numbers looks completely moronic and ridiculous. Not to mention the issue of visual clutter. A better solution would have been to write dmg and other events into a log, which can be accessed as a separate chat tab, this is what many MMORPGs do. Path of Exile can be intimidating for new players due to the fact that a certain level of understanding of game mechanics is demanded of players who wish to survive. Thankfully, the developers pride themselves on succinct and consistent tooltips, which make it easier for players to plan ahead or predict the success of certain str. Movement Speed: -5% Requires Level 17, 53 Str +(10-20) to Strength (60-80)% increased Armour 25% reduced Chaos Damage taken over time 25% increased Light Radius Chaos Damage does not bypass Energy Shield-(40-30) Chaos Damage taken Give me neither havens nor solace; They are for the weak and frightened. Instead, light the path to greatness. Some ppl do min + max dmg / 2 x speed and some ppl do max dmg x speed. So im coming to the community as a whole to figure it out. If i was wrong ill gladly admit it but i would like to know what the right equation of a dps calculation so from now on the whole community including myself knows.
