Shadow - [3.7] Cyclone CwC Blade Vortex CI Trickster - Forum

So this is my pastebin: https://pastebin.com/UPVSqYVS I'm using Vigilant Strike + The Vigil jewel. VS was buffed,if i'm not mistaken fortify last about 38s and VS has 4 melee range (instead of 2). I think 20% reduced damage is worth the loss of some energy shield. Since there are 8 active skills I will use phase run for fast mapping, and wither for bosses (just change the skill in the skill bar, not the gems), using skills just remove the speed buff of phase run and I have flame dash as movement skill for bosses.

Btw If someone goes purifying flame might be worth droping 1 energy shield node and specing into Zealot's Oat, extra 6% energy shield regen (full build it's about 600-650 energy regenerated per second)	Posted by Luscofusco on Jun 6, 2019, 11:45:09 AM Quote this Post

Been away for a few leagues and never played blade vortex so any help would be appreciated! I have added an additional leveling section to the notes in the PoB pastebin below. Also added 3 extra trees: Level 40 Level 40 for Essence Drain/Contagion Level 70 Link: https://pastebin.com/hvBSjizF The level 40 and 70 trees look pretty good, thanks! Not sure if I want to add ED/Contagion leveling setup though, because the tree is pretty different (or at least the scaling is) and it requires a lot of gem slots, e.g when league starting people will need even more sockets to level stuff on the side, also people generally prefer to level with something similar as their main setup will be. Also, before both Sovereignty and Reduced mana reservation near CI, this build can't really use Hatred (well, with Enlighten it possibly can), and both Discipline and Herald of Ash are much more important than Hatred (Ash for clear, Discipline to counteract the shitty gear we will have at start). I would probably make some adjustments to lvl 70 tree to take Utmost Intellect over some small ES nodes (as the value of that cluster is pretty damn high for ES), but otherwise it is pretty close to what I would use, I think. So if I can use your trees, I would probably like to update main post with the lvl 70 and 40 one (with slight changes). Go for it. I am happy to help.

http://poeurl.com/cpFW Changed the 70 tree to add the Sov nodes, but had to drop alot of ES for it as well as the flask nodes. I have been working on some other leveling skills, I like options. I understand ED and Contagion are pretty different. I think any bow skill would be great for leveling as well. I like Toxic Rain personally but frost blades is fun too.

I am actually updating the PoB again and I think I finally like current version. We are still at 1 extra action bar slot, but, it's fine, as someone pointed out before (i think it was you), we can just swap from Phase Run to Wither at bosses.

I actually merged that version with main version (added alternative skill tree and alternative gem setup and item setup, for Cerb Limb + Aurora and movement skills for them) Here is the updated PoB: https://pastebin.com/EGsYTS3N I will update main thread soon-ish (tbh, at this point I don't think this is "theorycraft" thread anymore, so maybe I should just redo the whole guide to be actual guide, like my other builds are :p).

don't think aurora is a good idea coz only armor you have is on this shield, you will recover 20 es on block :D	Posted by Sonidox on Jun 6, 2019, 1:56:37 PM Quote this Post

Been following your build for some days now, looks really cool and promising. I'm thinking about putting arcane surge into the phase-run setup tho, this should leave me with a 20s arcane surge, you could drop purifying flame then. Not 100% sure if that's worth it, you lose the combustion dmg buff, get a bit QoL and 2 slots for somethign else tho.	Posted by ivogh on Jun 6, 2019, 2:28:14 PM Quote this Post
