[3.12] Memoria's Herald of Ice Blade Vortex Assassin [Video Guide, Insane map clear]
 Hello and welcome to my Herald of Ice BV Assassin build! Feel free to join me Twitch or Discord if you have any questions or want to see the build in action. Discord: https://discord.gg/NgZTgBs Twitch: https://twitch.tv/Memoria_gaming How it works
Spoiler
This build is 100% focused on clearing maps quickly in a satisfying and safe manner and it is not meant to be a Sirus A8 killer. We use Blade Vortex damage in combination with high crit chance/multi and cold damage to kill enemies which explode and kills all nearby enemies. In order to do this we use Herald of Ice in combination with a crit chest. We focus on power charges, crit, spell/cold damage and + to skill gems in order to clear faster.

Spoiler
Pros/Cons Pros + One of the fastest builds for map clearing + Satisfying explosions + Since we chill and freeze it's a very safe mapper + Perfect HH build Cons - This is NOT a bosskiller. I've done the conquerors but that's it - My version is not cheap but will come with a budget version later How to play/Playstyle
Spoiler
Get your Blade Vortex going and run into enemies and watch them die. Ascendancy & Pantheon
Spoiler
Ascendancy Opportunistic -> Ambush and Assassinate -> Unstable Infusion -> Deadly Infusion If you want a more powerful Elusive effect that is enabled on crit, remove Ambush and Assassinate and replace with Mistwalker (remember to remove "No Witnessess" from the tree if you do). Also if you get culling strike on gloves I'd remove Ambush and assassinate. Bandits Kill Alira for crit multi and res Pantheons Major - Brine King Minor - Shakari or Abberath Gear

Herald of Thunder or Ice?
On your Twitch I can only see HoT. But in PoB - HoI. Pls explain more. | |
" I did a Herald of Thunder autobomber before this (guide is in the PoE forums as well), moving on to Herald of Ice now and the last stream I set it up and the finished result you can find in the end of the stream. |
|
|
Build guide is now added!
Youtube guide is up as well: https://youtu.be/Ddtci7UWFfw |

How is this an autobomber when it requires you to keep up the BV stacks regularly?
I am a noob, but I know!! LOL LOL TROLL! ;D Last edited by planckovich on Jul 13, 2020, 12:54:00 PM

" Yeah you're right, been meaning to change the title. I started the guide as an autobomber but I didn't get it where I wanted so I changed it. |
|
|
Do you have a version for 2 daggers, i see that with this build i will mapping faster because of HoI, when i can't find an explode chest
| |
" Get Herald of Ice in a 4-link instead. Herald of Ice - Innervate - Increased Area of Effect - Increased critical strikes. If you don't have frenzy generation then add Ice Bite too. |
|
|
I was looking for a HH build this league and decided on this one, and I have to say it lives up to expectations. Everything explodes in a 10 mile radius and I zoom zoom around. Would recommend
|
|
|
What would you say is the absolute minimum you need for this build to work? Planning on rerolling this as my next character this league and just curious what I will need to save up for.
