Yeah sure but I think the new BV with vaal is just better.

Hey!

Are we no longer running Herald of Ice now and we're just running Herald of Thunder + Wrath instead?

Where the skill tree went ??

Hi Bashtart,
This is my first forum post here, been following your Spark BV Inquisitor guide for the new Incursion league so far.

I'm not too confident on character building yet though, the furthest I've gotten before is low-level endgame mapping. I see your build is already deviating from what it was before the 3.3 update.

Could you give me some advice on how to improve my current build to get it to be more powerful like yours? I went with the dual firestorm you had earlier but I see you are already using a spark setup, if I can switch to spark now (I'm level 45) that would be great as I have Pierce and the other skill gems including Vaal Spark already and have a Tabula Rasa I can run a 6-link with.

So how would I respec my passive tree to run my Vaal Spark and what gems should I link with it in the Tabula and have on my other bits of equipment?

Also any equipment tips would be good as currently my build is a bit glass cannony - I get killed easily but put out a fair bit of damage.

Here's my equipment, hope I'm linking it right:

And here's my passive tree:

Unfortunately all your settings a private so I cannot really take look. Just use the same gems for the Spark / Blade Vortex setup with one expection... use Faster Casting instead of Spell Echo for now.

Well I still leveling but I plan to go like this:
Skill Tree lvl 40
After that I will rush to Acrobatics / Phase Acrobatics and take Mind Over Matter which should result in a really good defense.
Approx. lvl 60 with Acrobatics & MoM

After that I plan to get as many crit as possible and spec out of elemental overload and then slowly finish the tree.

Not using Call of the Brotherhood anymore?

Can you please update the gear section? I'm getting lost with the 3.3 guide update, since it's still mixed with 3.1, 3.2 and now even with 3.3

Thanks.

Not using Call of the Brotherhood anymore? So where does the cold damage come from?

I bought The Pefect Form, but apparently you're using Inpulsa also.

Thanks.

Hi guys,
Thanks for the advice :)

You should be able to view my character now Bash, I changed my privacy settings.

I haven't spent any of my respec points so far so have 8 at the moment plus 1 regret. I should be able to easily respec out of the totem passives and into Elemental Overload at the moment so I can run my vaal spark in a 6link on the Tabula. I've got a couple Vaal BVs too along the way so can set BV up in a 3 or 4link on my other gear. I'll slowly respec the rest of my tree to be closer to yours as I pick up more refund points and regrets.

I think I need to pick up some dexterity on my jewellery as I can't use some of the recommended gems due to dex requirements. Also I guess I need more life on my gear as you guys recommend. I'm at max or very close on all my resists just need to boost those up soon as it's not long before I'm at part 2.
Also I need to trade for some decent jewels as currently I have 2 empty jewel slots on my tree.
I got 17 chaos from selling a second Tabula I found so hopefully should be able to get some decent stuff.

To Miyavi: I might be wrong and maybe Herald of Ice is not favoured in 3.3 but I believe it is not useful early game as it is meant to work together with high crits to clear stuff fast and protect you from ever getting swarmed. But crits don't really work well until you invest heavily into them so it won't really work well until late game once you've put in that investment on the tree.
So you can see at the moment Bash has chosen Elemental Overload on the tree which gets rid of extra crit multiplier damage in exchange for a flat damage boost but will spec out of it later on once he hits all the juicy crit passives as the crits will then scale better late-game.
That's my thinking anyway but I could be wrong.

To WilliamCZE: I might be wrong but I think Call of the Brotherhood is more of a late-game item and at the moment Bash is just posting the gear he is using as he is levelling as his Inquisitor is not late-game yet. It is likely still an excellent item to have regardless.

Oh yeah and thanks for the Faster Casting advice Bash ;)

Why that instead of Spell Echo? Is it due to 3.3 balance change or are you just finding it works better anyway? Is it better for both leveling and end-game do you think?

Finaly got Inpulsa today and im tearing though maps and temples, really like the build, exept i hate BladeVortex :D i love the vaal version since you just get a 10 blade instant tornado. but not being able to insta do good single target dmg is abit anoying, the charge up anoys me also that you have to keep charging :)

But thank you ever much for the build, really enjoying it :)
