3.11 - Stress-Free PoE! CURSE HAPPY (CI): No Required Items! 1-Button Play! SSF League Start-End!

This labyrinth enchantment doesn't work with vortex DOT either?

Damage Penetrates 10% of Enemy Elemental Resistances if you haven't Killed Recently

Thanks for the guide! I have been doing pretty well so far, but I am curious on what you think my next upgrades should be? I just started league with this char so I have only a few chaos.

Also, If I run temp chains, enfeeble, and discipline I have 105 mana left which works fine for flame dash/ vortex.... but how are you using malevolance? I feel like I am missing something.
Holy Shaper! I just killed Catarina without any deaths. When I previously played PoE it was betrayal league and I couldn't pass her even with six deaths... twice
Sorry for the delayed responses everyone! It's been a busy week. I appreciate your patience. Sorry!

Spoiler
I checked three damaging passives for amulet with path of building, surprisingly the difference wasn't high.
With enthropy my DOT is 64161
With Blast Radius - 63840
With Disciple of Unyelding and 3 Endurance charges - 64268
Without anointment - 61702

So it is always about 2-2,5k damage and your choice to take
10% increased Skill Effect Duration
or
10% increased Area of Effect
or
12% Physical Damage Reduction (we are almost always with 3 charges)

As for me I prefer defence, since the worst thing with this build (and any build) is when the boss oneshots you with his heavy blow. Otherwise you can always flee away and recharge in 1-2 seconds especially with vaal discipline.

However, it's always good to know that I can switch to void barrier and grab some additional resistances (as well as a good boost for ES) if my new gear would lack them.
Ty for your advices!
Good research Protamine! Gotta love stats!

Penetration only work with Hits. So the DOT of Vortex won't Penetrate enemy resists, but the Hit will.

Thanks drocksmash! I hope things go well for you. I took a look at your gear and the next upgrades are really just you base ES on your gear. (Nice Redemeer ring btw!) Start with your four-links. Just high ES base, % ES, and resists. It can be tricky to find so don't be discouraged if it takes time. Needing 2 good prefixes for your base health can take time to find :(. Your gear looks great!

Regarding auras, the build's design is that you can choose which auras to run based on your gear or personal preference. So you have the mana reservation reductions to run 3 35% auras, or 1 35% and 1 50%. You must have accidentally skipped over the parts of the guide that mention that, and that's totally ok :).

Good questions! I hope the answers were helpful. Let me know if they weren't.

Awesome job! She can be a tricky fight! Builds that are constantly moving have a big benefit against her but you still have to know what you're doing and live through all the crap. Great job!

Happy Hunting to all the wild witchers with this build. A month or so ago, I started a failed witch at level 40 with this build. Nice to get a tree wipe with 3.11. I'm now level 82. THANKS WREAKER!

There has been some talk on these threads about vortex cooldown, to re-fire vortex faster. So, I started looking into it. At first glance, I was hoping quality/level would help, but it doesn't. That is all about damage and area.

But, there are mods for amulets and boots, that I have. Also there is the Second Wind Support Gem, that I don't use. Right now I can hit every .95 sec. for 92 mana.(level 20 vortex with 14% quality) Pretty good, since the base is twice that.
But wait!! Can I recover 92 mana in less than a second? NO

Also, reserve amount is essential. I need minimum of 92 reserve and 95 recovery per second, to even hit at .95 seconds. So, I don't. It is more like 1.2 seconds.

Well, that is how you chase it if you want to. But, I remind myself this is a DOT build.

So, fun to run past a long pack of monsters and go back to find them all dead.

I wonder why your vortex costs so much, mine spends 69 mana (20/23). I have 156 unreserved mana which is enough to constantly channel vortex, shield charge and flame dash all together. However my vortex has 1,02 cooldown time. I also noticed, you have 2 controlled destructions attached to vortex, but only one of them will work, you can change another to Efficacy.
