[2.4] Harvest Blade Vortex - 5L 660k shaper dps, 1.3m boss dps, 67% phys mitigation (no armour)

Don't play blade vortex anymore, cuz i accidentally vendored my 6L belly some days ago, but thanks to that I found another way to move around.

Started a new toon using bow, and he has no cast speed at all.
Running LW - 20/23 Less Duration (I did some math on this one 20/23 is better when u got the 21/20 LW) - Faster Casting - Rapid Decay - Enhance - Empower. And this is just really fast, faster than quicksilver of adrenaline. Now obviously you have cast speed, so you won't need enhance, and empower is just extra as well, so it can function really well 4L.

So if you have the slots I think this may be another way to get around. Down side is of course you wouldn't have fortify as you would using leap slam/flicker.

BTW:
For Atrizi fight, you can stand between 2 of the clones instead of right next to one during the split phase, it can help for uber cuz you would be leeching off both clones, even if it's not needed, still safer. Also when doin uber you might want to not attack thru the firethorns on dual striker, cuz it does quite a bit of dmg. I tried to hit 3 before but it is not possible unless you have 100% increased aoe (meaning carcas jack and 21/20 Increased aoe), but 2 is still really good, double the leech, double survivability.

Edit:
Nvm actually forgot this is blade vortex. The increased skill duration not gonna go well wit tht lightning warp :S shame.

1/26.
Successfully made a blade vortexer capable of Lightning warping using harvest that runs Arctic Armor, Dodge, MoM, Fortify, incandescent heart, and perma immortal call; all res 88%, chaos max, about 5k life (can go up to 5.5k). It is a bit harder to play than most character builds cuz many buttons to micromanage, but is pretty insane. The same gear setup can be used for spark and Bow Build with same defensive mitigation options up. Currently using pledge, because can't afford harvest, but harvest is definitely better due to more tree flexibility and pots. Lightning warping is pretty insane once I started using it, I definitely think its a viable movement skill option and clears out any need for quicksilver.

Great work on testing out all different kinds of specs, SIQI - I don't have the time these days to try out all these cool ideas. I can confirm that lightning warp is super fast, though it definitely would take some adjusting to learn to play with.

How do you keep up fortify with lightning warp, though? I've occasionally used vigilant strike on my character, but usually I feel it's unnecessary and wastes valuable time that could be spent leeching.

Also, what is your current MoM setup? I suppose Pledge would make mana management considerably easier, but I'd be interested in how well you manage to sustain that as well.

Uploaded a better Atziri video showcasing the build with a 6L Tabula. If I manage to 6L my lightning coil, I think I'll try attempting Uber with this build.

Fyi the harvest is usually very hard to obtain in in temp leagues but i got one in talisman and have been theory crafting for ascendancy so here it is

My planned tree for ascendancy
My gear
Link's ignore the ones in my gear some of the gear is on talisman some is on standard.

Bandit's
Subclass

one thing about the tree I have not seen any other builds utilize is the points in elemental focus and crystal skin with those I am at 30% chance to avoid status ailments + 30% chance to avoid freeze and chill. that coupled with the 30%x1.38(the amount of +flask effect I have) 41.4% chance to avoid freeze/chilled gives me a total of 101.4% chance to avoid freeze and chill allowing me to drop my my freeze immune fire res flask for taste of hate or rumi's depending on the situation.

Crit chance breakdown

@DarryIrfd

Lots of solid ideas going into your build, though the tree is broken now so I haven't had a chance to take a look at it. 100% chance to avoid freeze and chill sounds pretty nice, so I'd definitely consider speccing into those points so that I can put shock immunity on my quicksilver and be able to swap out my ruby flask for Promise / Rumi's.

I was also thinking of running an assassin during ascendancy for the 95% crit chance. Even with the blade vortex hit rate nerf, the huge increase in crit chance should be able to make up for it and flasks should be pretty easy to sustain. Right now I'm playing dual void battery coc assassin, but I'll definitely revisit this build soon and see if it can be taken to Uber Atziri.

Any chance you can update your tree since, Im very intrested in running this build and finnaly have a harvest.

as stated above, can you please update your build?

thanks in advance

At long last, an update to Harvest Blade vortex arrives, for 2.4. Will eventually move into the shadow forums.

can this do Atziri/Uber?
