94 Blade Vortex Ascendant - 11 Aura Stacker Update #1 | PoE 3.23 Affliction

Update @ 96: https://youtu.be/cxRmIbQtxxM

Elementalist + Raider combo based on physical to cold BV conversion & frenzy charges.

Note: this is not a beginner build and wouldn’t recommend levelling with it, you need enough mana/life reservation and tree nodes to slot in all auras and have some leftover to cast spells. The helm, shield, chest are watchers eye are core.

Budget: 25-30 div Helm - 9 div (need the corrupt "socketed skill gems get 90% cost & reservation multiplier) Wep - 20c (need +spell skill levels or +physical spell levels & chance to deal double damage) Ammy - base 4.5 div, 6 div with the anoint whispers of doom Chest - 2 div Gloves - 15c (need 25%+ phys to cold & 11% cold exposure on hit implicit) Belt - 1 div Boots - 20c (need spell supp % corrupt as implicit) Shield - 10c (need grants lvl 23 grace corrupt as implicit) Arcane surge on hit ring - 1 div Other ring (chaos res implicit) - 50c to 1 div Corrupted blood jewel - 50c to 1 div Militant Faith - 110c (need 4% area dam & 4% ele dam per 10 devotion) Watchers eye - 1-2 div (need phys to cold while affected by hatred & es regen/s while affected by discipline) Unnatural instinct - 50c That which was taken - 2 div (need frenzy charge gain on hit + hexes affect hexproof enemies) Intuitive leap - 20c

Flasks: Bottled Faith - 2-3 div (optional for extra dps, could just go normal sulphur. 40% is like 3-4% damage and the exposure is like 5-8% ish. Could drop for a jade with spell leech also, real nice survivability and your xp bar will move more reliably, costs around 40-100c)

Taste of Hate - 10c Granite/basalt/quicksilver (need gain +3 charges when hit affix) - 80c-1div each

Cluster jewels: 50c-1 div with single affix, 1-2 div+ with 2+ affixes. Need 5 of these (1 large, 2 medium, 2 small)

Charms: 50c-1 div. Need 3 of these.

Upgrades or changes i've done:

• 20% quality on belt & rings using tempering catalyst gives you a huge boost to evasion rating, armour & energy shield. Only 3-6c each.
• 20% quality on ammy is a 12% chaos res increase. Not cheap, prismatic catalysts are 30-40c each.
• +1 to all physical spell skills affix on weapon. +2 to BV's level. Haggled a 9 div wand down from 10.
• Empower 4 in chest, adds +3 levels to BV which is currently 25. Saving up for a solid +2 levels to aoe/duration gems corrupt on the chest atm which would take BV to 27.

EDIT: https://imgur.com/a/Y4ko1Ht costed me 2 divs (with 3 unlinked sockets), using the crafting table you can get a corrupted 6L BBGGRR with +2 level to duration skills (https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/XwLV2ZRIP) WAY cheaper than buying one for 20+ div. 5L via bench into tainted fusing. 50% chance to turn a 5L into a 6L. On average it should cost you 2 tainted fusing, 350 jeweller, 350 vaal, and then the 300 vaal 300 fusing. Comes out to like 2-3d for any 6L corrupted chest. If unsure ask a mate or guildie to help craft it! I got it after posting the vid and my BV is currently at lvl 27.

• Righteous Path/Sublime Form as passives on the 2 small cluster jewels.
• Swapped out stone golem for empower 3 linked to bane + 2 hexes.

ATB fellas!
