Chaos damage is one of the five damage types. It is the rarest damage type and the hardest to get resistance against. Chaos damage bypasses energy shield, reducing life or mana directly. Although chaos damage reduction is based on resistance value, it is not considered elemental damage.

Full guide on the best Winter Orb build out there
Updated for Patch 3.6
The Best Crafty Guides by Odealo
Estimated budget: very high
Winter Orb is currently the most popular skill in Path of Exile. It has insane damage, and how it works, makes it one of the smoothest skills to quickly farm maps. It is a channeled spell, which builds up stacks and icy projectiles are shot with a frequency determined by the number of active stacks. Those stacks persist for a short duration, so increasing Skill Effect Duration makes you able to progress faster while Winter Orb remains at maximum DPS. This particular build revolves around The Eternity Shroud unique armor and Damage Conversion to Fire. With how conversion works, first you gain up to 50% (depending on the number of Shaper items you have equipped and the Shroud's rolls) of your Winter Orb's Cold Damage as extra Chaos Damage, then 90% of it gets converted to Fire, and you again get additional Chaos Damage based on it. In practice this nearly adds 100% Extra Damage as Chaos, making up for one of the highest DPS skills in the game.

1. Gameplay
This is considered the best PoE build for Patch 3.6 and the Synthesis League. It is based on Winter Orb which is a channeled spell that fires icy projectiles with very high frequency. Multiple projectiles can overlap on the same enemy, making up for one of the highest DPS in the game. Combined with Trickster's Ascendancy that grants very high Cast Speed bonuses it makes it really fast to reach Winter Orb maximum stack. On top of that, this build utilizes nearly 100% Cold to Fire Damage conversion, and additional Chaos Damage based on your Elemental Damage from The Eternity Shroud and Harness the Void Passive. By converting Winter Orb's damage to Fire, you can gain the Extra Elemental Damage as Chaos Damage twice, which doubles your damage output. If you manage to get all Shaper items, it will also make your Chaos Damage completely ignore monsters' Chaos Resistance. Solstice Vigil's Soul Eater, Malevolence Aura, and increased Skill Effect Duration will allow you to run for very long before you need to build up additional stacks, making it one of the fastest builds in the game when dealing with high Tier Maps and end-game Bosses.
For the defenses, this build utilizes high Evasion Rating, Life and Mind over Matter. Also, Energy Leech will fuel up your MoM and allow spamming Spells without worrying about managing your Mana.

3. Leveling tips
I have personally leveled up my character using one Poet's Pen wand with Glacial Cascade socketed, which turned out extremely fast and I didn't have to alter the route to the Final Passive build at all. However, if you can't afford to get Poet's Pen, I would suggest self-casting Freezing Pulse with one First Snow threshold jewel equipped. It's one of the best leveling Spells, and you will benefit from both Spell Crit. and Cold/Elemental Damage nodes that you are picking up when leveling. You can either stick to Freezing Pulse until level 70 or above, or switch to using Winter Orb after you reach level 28. I will leave that to your personal preferences. Ilife dmg.
