PoE Blade Vortex, Mapping builds

Hello guys, At around day 3 of the league I transitioned into a pob I had made for chaos hit BV occultist using the new sacrifice support gem. I first tested every interaction to see how the "snapshotting" worked with the skill and thankfully it worked exactly like I hoped for. The first cast is the only one that matters once that is done as long as you can keep your stacks up you'll maintain the sacrifice damage from your first cast enabling you to be on full life as you start your map and then once you have cast use petrified blood in order to be on low life to both use our maximum life for

Here is the PoB: The Bv and Spectral helix are there to represent backups, I know the tree isn't correct for BV but it's easy to readjust it for that. I'm planning on starting out as spectral helix till I can get a redeemer chest with frenzy on hit. I purposefully put some of the configs a little lower because I think it will reflect a more accurate reality than perfect conditions. Right now I have it configed for bosses so I have flasks off and the curses on. Though for mapping I'd expect full flask uptime and probably no cur

MATCH TREE, SKILLS AND GEAR FOR STARTER, MID GAME AND ENDGAME.

I've been working on a PoB for a Lightning Conduit build that doesn't require using multiple skills. Just run through the map and press one button to kill packs. This is achieved by using Choir of the Storm and having 100% crit chance on Lightning Conduit. In addition, when running into a new pack, they should be shocked by Lightning Bolt, which is triggered by Herald of Thunder having a high crit chance. Just in case we need a little more coverage, we can also use Fire Burst on hit with elemental proliferation to further spread shock every 1s. Make sure your cast speed doesn't go over 5

This is NOT a leaguestarter due to uniques needed, I would go a classic CHIEFTAIN if you leaguestart with it due to things being much easier and cheaper if you do so. I think this build has some interesting synergies. Vulconus in main hand and Nycta's Lantern for Battlemage in the offhand makes for a good combo, when you take Avatar of Fire on the tree as well as bleed the enemy somehow. In this build, I bleed the enemy by using a Reaper, which has 50% chance to bleed innately. Defensively, this build goes the new Jugg node alongside the Rakiata Lethal Pride, wh

So after Obliteration got buffed by quite a significant amount I started thinking about how to make use of those. Obviously you can do Poison with those, but then youre having backloaded Damage and I dont really like that while going fast through maps. This is a BV Char with currently 65% chaos convert and 80% added as Chaos. Im sure you could go higher with a Cluster Setup but I've chosen to not incorporate clusters since those usually inflate the cost quite a bit. Build doesnt really have outstanding rares, just the body armour

After I've posted about Evasion and Armour Based Attack Builds, I thought I would theorize about Armour Based Spellcasters too. I've taken the Standard Inquisitor Spellcaster and worked on its defensive properties a bit - this recycles mostly defensive concepts from the previous posts but I feel like its worth showcasing nonetheless. This is a BV Inquisitor leveraging Phys taken as Element, perma Utility Flask Uptime and some moderate Armour Investment to achieve 0,15 phys Damage Taken multiplier vs a 10k phys hit and under 0.2 dam

Hey guys, recently thought about possible offmeta league starters and came up with this Chaos BV, heavily inspired by the trending Cold BV variants. Build has 60% chance to explode ennemies and gull+blunderbore for fast mapping, as well as badge of the brotherhood for high withering step uptime to have it up for almost every pack and get the wither damage multiplicator for the explosions too. The build has actually 3.5M dps with the current config even against sirus which seems pretty decent. Ive found two things a bit worrysome:

Hey there, recently tried to theorycraft around the newly buffed Blade Vortex. While there are a couple of staples out there like the Occultist/Inquis variants, I wanted to try and create a build that can replicate a bit of the former Indigon Glory days. This is an Occultist/Pathfinder Ascendant with 3M DPS, 10k Armour/EV, perma flasks (perma ToH), good aoe while mapping (intensity will be down) and acceptable clear with Herald of Ash (with some Aoe investment aswell). Damage is scaled through omniscience and trinity, overall b
