[2.2 Video Guide] Tanky, High DPS, Crit Blade Vortex Build [HC/SC & Atziri Viable]

Yes I was. And everything was just going fine until I hit kaoms dream. I guess I was just unlucky. Twice :/
Well, I am going to try the build in Softcore again.

Anyone farming T12+ maps with this? And What ascendant skills would you use? Pathfinder seems good. I know it's in the guide but let me know if you have tried something else :)

Anyone try the Wyrmsign Gloves with this build? not hard to max out the rampage. kind of fun to play with.

Would the Nightstalker passive wheel be worth getting?

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, should beserker be the first class to go for because of the life leech? or is pathfinder that much better?

Hello, I'm trying out this build and I'm at lvl 70. Enjoying it so far, but have a few questions.

1) When do we see a significant jump in the DPS? Do I need a 6 link? Only rocking about 7k DPS with buffs, but it's getting me through act 4 merciless so far. Just wondering how to really boost that DPS.

2) I just got a Tate of Haste (very lucky), but before that, I was thinking of maybe specing into the Slayer tree instead of pathfinder due to leech. However, since I found taste of hate, should I just spec into pathfinder?

3) Ever thought about using Empire's Grasp with this build? Socketing the second Blade Vortex gem setup in the gloves could make enemies a lot easier to hit as they get drawn in. Thoughts?

Thanks agian, love the build.

I'd say depends on the gear. Personnaly, I've been using life leech in main attack until getting berzerker, with a 6L it doesn't feel bad to go with Pathfinder first for huge survivability boost, and replace the gem later, but with a 5L I went go for berzerker first without 2nd thought (leveled 2 characters with similar builds to ~80).

Hello guys, first time here :)

First time playtrough, on HC with this amazing build. Thks!

Now, the questions:

1- Still on level 45, when should i do normal labyrinth ?

2- Can someone explain me please why the pathfinder is so good? and what the exact points on the tree of pathfinder we should go?

3- the combination of this defence skills, the discharge of all endurance charges are automatic, right? i mean, when we get a big hit, we are "automatically" protected, right?

Thank you, more to come!

is that the ideal 6l for vortex? heard controlled destruction is better than crit damage. also no inc aoe/conc effect?

I'll try it today with my CWDT+BV+Power charge on crit+ID

I don't know how many blades i have up with this set up, it's enough to have charges up all the time, but don't know if it will be ok for enough knockback. I hate manually casting second BV.

Another thing. I took radius nodes north from scion and i will also get myself a carcass jack. This way i can use conc. effect gem that REALLY boosts up the DPS.

I don't really know why are you all using coil. I understand if you play HC or t12+ maps, but in SC or normal (the mayority of players) mapping?
