There's also trees made up for the witch, so it's alright and working. Can confirm, tested this build, approved!

Mathil just made a BLade Vortex build with low life, dont Uber. Any ideas to be taken out from him, any changes? His buid seems expensive though, that 6L shavs and skyforths..

Am I missing something/eyes bad or are there some nodes on the hybrid tree that aren't connected to others? Lol.

The Jewel called "Intuitive Leap" enables this.

Mathils build is awesome like all his builds. But in this case spendy. Really expensive. Like he says you dont need skyforth but then keeping PC arnt reliable not to mention you will get stunned by everything unless you wear that crappy no dps eye of chaylua. Shavs aint what it used to be but also still expensive.

Did i miss somthing or should this be in the shadow thread ?
(all of the trees are in shadow...)

whats your crit rate on blade vortex with your current gear and tree?


also. not sure if its been posted but apparently blade vortex damage applies on hit, not on cast. this means you can snapshot and swap things around. like you could run dual apep's rage on swap for an added, upwards of 100% or so cast speed (is also gained from spell echo). i have a 27%/25% apep's rage and gain 87% with them equipped vs them not. then you can swap back to your daggers to apply their damage.

you'll be casting them away from harms way (mostly) anyway, thus you won't be losing anything by swapping weapons since you can't move while casting anyway. then you swap to your damage setup and whirl into the action.

having such faster cast speed will allow you to get much more blades up in a shorter amount of time. yes, they will cost a whole lot more, but you can just pop a life flask while casting and you should be fine (since its linked to blood magic).

my BV setup is with apep's rage, without crit. however, knowing this information, i may just end up swapping to a crit setup anyway because it is absolutely the best way to get the most damage from BV.

without crit i still have around 125,000 dps including poison, but this utilizes 9 frenzy charges and not needing to use blood magic as a support (tho i do use increased duration).
my setup is blade vortex, inc duration, spell echo, conc effect, controlled destruction, poison. to go crit i would definitely remove controlled destruction and replace it with probably added fire (they're very close in DPS for my setup already, but blue socket is easier to get).

now i just need to figure out if i can go crit easily with the passive tree. i would most likely need to sacrifice a lot of life and the blood magic keystone.

i personally hate blasphemy. i'd rather manually cast my curse while moving. it takes a fraction of a second.

Hi Aim,answer please,can this build kill uber atziri?

PS the way to calculate the "sustained dps" for this gem is incorrect.

if i have blade vortex linked with spell echo, conc effect, added fire damage, and poison, my calculations go like this...

DPS: 2685.12
Cast Time: 0.18
Sustained DPS: 48,332.16

however if i add in faster attacks (same damage, just more casts per second, thus should be more damage per second), but the calculations go like this...

DPS: 3435.24
Cast Time: 0.14
Sustained DPS: 48,093.36

how is added the support of faster casting actually lowering my dps? the calculations are incorrect. my damage per blade never moves when socketing FC.

the listed DPS is what your average damage per blade per hit, is, multiplied by your cast speed.
so to get your real sustained DPS with 50 blades you need to divide your listed DPS by your cast speed (gives you your average single hit per blade) and multiply it by 100. 50 blades and 2 hits per blade per second, so multiply by 100. simple as that.

where faster cast speed comes in is being able to sustain a higher number of blades. i can sustain 40-50 easily with faster casting socketed, or around 30 without it.
so if you take my average damage of 477 and multiply it by 100 i'll have a DPS with faster casting of approximately 47,700. and without it i'll have a DPS of 28,620 because i only have 30 blades out opposed to 50.
