Zizaran's Notes

~~~ LEVELING ~~~ We can't (realistically) play Blade Vortex before we have Minion Pact, a Meatsack spectre and ideally Companionship(Companionship is not strictly required, but such a dps boost that you really want it). This means we level with Earthshatter until you can either farm these requirements yourself, or until you can buy them from other players. Earthshatter is not as strong as it used to be in the past, but it's still a very solid leveling build, and is the best way to get yourself to Minion Pact. ~~~ WHEN TO SWITCH TO BLADE VORTEX ~~~ Check the "minimum respec" loadout for what you need to respec, a shortlist: - Minion Pact Support(ideally leveled) - Any Meatsack spectre(ideally a Perfect one since it has more life) - Companionship Support (not strictly required, but 75% more damage is nice even on this build) Make sure you actually have the level to socket the gems as well, as they can have pretty high level requirements! ~~~ WHAT ASCENDANCY DO I REPLACE FOR THE "FORBIDDEN" TATTOOS? ~~~ Born Under Fire should be the easiest one to replace. But makes sure you put the actual tattoo on something you wouldn't take anyway(like Ancestral Echo), this is in case you get something like Unstoppable that you'd consider replacing Toughened Skin with. Some nice ascendancy nodes you can get, in approximate order of power(but not fully, and in no way is this ALL the useful node): - Profane Bloom(Witch): get a Vulnerability on Hit ring or corrupt it on gloves and we got some great explosions - Hinekora, Death's Fury(Marauder): Explosions, this would mean you want to spec into some ignite chance and possibly make a switch to fire BV though, which is outside the scope of this guide - Brutal Fervour(Duelist): Overleech(make sure you have leech on your gloves if you get this) - Fortitude(Duelist): Free Fortify - Shaper of Winter(Witch): everything is chilled and deals less damage, allows you to run Hypothermia as your Imbued Support as well - Gathering Winds(Ranger): extra speed is all you need - Valako, Storm's Embrace(Marauder): Stack max fire res and get to 90% all res, possibly replace one of your auras with Purity of Fire - Unrelenting(Marauder): 10% extra Phys and Ele Damage Reduction - Headsman(Duelist): more damage through cull - Bane of Legends(Duelist): more damage - Arcane Blessing(Templar): 20% more damage for no downside - Mindless Aggression(Witch): 20% mroe damage for no downside - Unyielding(Marauder): 60% AoE and 80% increased damage - Aspect of Carnage(Marauder): 40% damage at the cost of some tankyness - Nature's Adrenaline(Ranger): possibly allows for decent flask uptime ~~~ I HAVE MANA ISSUES ON EARTHSHATTER ~~~ The midgame Earthshatter setup needs some mana leech and - mana cost. Make sure you haven't accidentally skipped this. If you want a simple temporary solve for mana issues you can run Lifetap Support. ~~~ MY CLEAR KINDA SUCKS ~~~ Because we don't have Chieftain or Occultist explosions(unless you tattoo it), we use Obliteration wand for some extra clearspeed. On endgame bosses you can switch to a wand that generates you charges(mostly useful for the frenzy charges) from Heist. ~~~ COMMON MISTAKES ~~~ - Running Herald of Purity (this breaks Companionship) - Summoning more than 1 Meatsack (this breaks Companionship) - Letting Blade Vortex fall off while mapping(this removes the Minion Pact buff until you sacrifice another Meatsack) - Getting extra minions in some other way, like having Guardian's "Radiant Crusade" tattoo'd
