PoE Shaper of Flames, Hex builds

POB: I just started putting this together, COTB not an option here. Im having a hard time getting the correct colors on ES so I have swift affliction instead of Empower I know vortex scales really well with levels. Looking for some legit feedback on how I can improve. FYI not all utility gems are setup. TIA

Make sure you pick the right tree, gear set and skills (disable others) for whatever part of the build you're at, also change doom accordingly (30 is base) If you want to use Berek's Respite or Abberath's Hooves, make sure you're not using Ignite Proliferation or it breaks the chains. Get Singularity when you can, otherwise use an item like the rare wand in the PoB items Emperor's Vigilance is disgustingly strong and lets us have max spell/attack block until we go to staff with no downside from GB In transition, either enlighten main auras
