[3.13] Archmage Blade Vortex Hierophant | 20k EHP 40m DPS | Depth 2000 Delve Tank
" lol, really, thanks a lot! Is it right that I should ideally have 1800 mana cost of blade vortex on use? So what affects the damage done, mana pool? And 1 more question: author has no blood magic in his vortex links, he's build working good without it because of mana pool? | |
|
What do you do on the plume variant if you die on Maven or similar, where you struggle to set the single blade back up?
|
|
|
Maven is very painful to re-enter. I asked GGG why maven fights dont have a safe staging area like every other endgame boss encounter in the game. They just said, feedback has been noted.
| |
" If youre sure your timing isnt wrong id guess Vortex is too high for the Mana you have |
|
|
Also, what are the ideal supports for the plume variant? I'm rocking with BV-Archmage-Arcane Surge-Unleash-Controlled Destruction-Divergent Spell Echo. Is there a more optimal link setup?

So I did lots of testing (mostly related to survivability) and it's turns out that Recover #% ES on Kill amazing for clearing highly juiced maps. I was able to complete T18 100% Delirious map with 91% recovery reduction (probably would fail without it) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omsfiOjI1V8
Also for both bossing and mapping Enfeeble + Conductivity are super nice. We don't have any problems with damage and maven phase takes literally couple seconds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFTE38E2VlM (yeah, I know that I'm dumb and forgot to enable clarity in this fight, and also - yeah most of the time I'm failing last memory game) My POB if someone interested https://pastebin.com/e9LmnhkJ (buffs and flasks are disabled, I prefer more realistic calculation) P.S. Also I was able to craft double T0 chest :) Last edited by skiminok1989 on Feb 11, 2021, 1:35:11 AM

" I started to use Blood Magic with Vortex. Bu now there's a new problem. I cast 1st time(5 blades, right?), if that's right i have the next situation: when I cast the 1st time i have good dps(with 5 blades), when i cast second time and have 10 blades, my dps drops to minimum, then i cast again and have a good dps, and then minimum dps... 2nd Problem is that I always have 5 blades, i mean when i cast 2nd time previous blades disappear after 1 sec(that's logical, cause i start with 5 blades, thaen i start to cast another 5 blades only after 4 seconds, when the previous 5 blades are going to disappear. In other words: shouldn't I start with 10 blades? But it will F*ck my mana cost. Maybe the problem with duration is because of skill effect duration, which i didn't have yet? | |
" Nice chest again, congratulation! I'm more DPS guy and motto is killing them before they kill you hehe. Here is my video of Maven A9, I messed up in the last phase and dealt 0 DPS for 4s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc0vpwPa-gs |

" I can't say for sure, but your description strongly suggests that you are messing up the timing. And I looked at your tree, you did not pick any of the two Duration clusters near the Scion area (Exceptional Performance and Potency of Will), which are a MUST HAVE, so that your BV last 8+ secs instead of 5 secs. 1. You cast once - you get 5 blades with 8.2s duration. 2. 4.1 sec later, you cast again, get 5 new blades. The 5 old blades still have 4.1s left on their duration 3. 4.1 sec later, the blades from step 1 disappeared, but you cast again, so you have 5 new blades, and 5 blades from step 2 with 4.1s left on their duration. 4. And so on and on it goes... Hopefully that helps you fix your rhythm. Last edited by RudyBaby on Feb 11, 2021, 4:36:05 AM

" Recovery on kill being amazing is the reason why I highly recommend a well rolled Cinderswallow flask. 3% of life + mana + ES on kill is just stupid amounts of recovery that is not affected by less recovery rate, no regen, or no leech modifiers. Last edited by RudyBaby on Feb 11, 2021, 4:34:33 AM
