"Damn, you're doing really good. I'd be looking for a double corrupted chest if I were in your shoes. +1 socketed gems / +2 socketed AoE gems would be awesome. I'd be looking into dropping an aura and the impresence in favour of a +2 gems amulet as well. I haven't run the POB numbers, but I suspect the extra gem levels would still out-DPS the extra aura. Swap the belt to a Stygian, then socket a jewel with flat life/ES and phasing? Boots with tailwind or onslaught? You could get a DPS upgrade with a 1L/2M/1S cluster jewel setup. And an awakened unleash, of course. Current league IGN: Teldra_Anc_LAD

"Yes, absolutely. Stick to Elemental blade vortex, leveling with poison is painful. Get a Herald of Ice and Herald of Thunder. Link blade vortex with typical elemental supports - lightning pen, cold pen, controlled destruction, arcane surge, added cold / lightning damage, etc. Replace one of those with Unleash the instant you hit level 38. Switch to an elemental damage curse. I wouldn't switch to poison damage until you can respec to all the poison nodes at once.

" Thanks for advises. Does awakened unleash gives big dps boost? |

" if i run the heralds, im left with no mana to keep vortex up, and im slow enough as it is lol what else do i need to do |

" You're not wrong, but see it this way: With Apep's slumbers regen, you can take up to 833 Damage per second (250 regen / 30 MoM * 100 for effective health) without ES being depleted. But if you get more than that over a few seconds, you miss out on quite some effective Health compared to the skill points you invested to get all the way over there to MoM. Calculating a non-chaos one-shot mechanic with my own stats (non-chaos since chaos-dmg ignores ES without CI): - with "10% health as ES"-craft: 5563 HP + 1267 ES = 6830 eHP - with 8% increased max life-craft: 5708 HP + 708 ES = 6416 eHP I would even need to get up to 1669 ES to max out the usefulness of MoM. As said, you're not completely wrong, it's just me - i like to make things as effective as possible. |

I'm not seeing Withering Step in a lot of people's builds here--any reason why? The video guide mentioned it resets the Elusive buff, and it also grants phasing (if not using a Quartz flask). Is it still strong?

"That will fix itself when you hit level 38 and can socket Unleash. Then you'll need to cast BV about once every 2 seconds, and each cast will add 3-4 blades. Current league IGN: Teldra_Anc_LAD Feel free to message me in game if I'm on. Last edited by grimjack68#6087 on Oct 7, 2020, 4:51:23 PM

"If you have to drop down to 1 herald, that's ok. Maybe spec into some reduced mana reservation on the tree for the now - Charisma would certainly fix that. Current league IGN: Teldra_Anc_LAD
