Sends a bolt of chaotic fire at the enemy, dealing to Chaos damage. Chaos Bolt always hits, cannot be resisted, and its knowledge causes all your Fire spells to pierce through absorption effects. Chaos Bolt gains a high chance to be resisted when used against monsters 4 or more levels above your level.
How it works
Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.
- Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 522. It scales with 0.714 times spell power.

Chaos Bolt is a Fire, Nature, Frost, Shadow and Arcane spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and a 12 sec cooldown. When cast it deals Fire, Nature, Frost, Shadow and Arcane damage (base value 522).
