Chains themed build

urug22

If it's possible I haven't seen many people with chains as a freeform but I think it would be very strong with the bleed combos and everything but if just chains is impossible I don't mind if you mix fire with it thank you for reading this but I would prefer just chains

If you want to combo chains in a bleed build, then for best single-target dps you'd want to rupture the bleeds w/ something like Reaper's Embrace in SB. Alternatively, you could make a ranged dps chain build w/ Infernal's chain powers (won't be as good single-target dps, but can still get by just fine).

For bosses, put up Open Wound w/ taps of the Lariat, build up to 5x bleed w/ Barbed Chain, and then rupture it w/ charged Reaper's Embrace- repeating the building and rupturing process. Lacerating Cyclone is wide pbAoE that can rope in enemies for follow-ups. Gears mostly for Str, w/ some Con and End/Rec.
