[2.4] Wormageddon (crit Herald of ice)

Hi,

Thanks for your prompt response!

I had one more question, what did you choose for bandit rewards?

Those answers helped a lot. ;)

For sure +1 power charge

i forget if I chose HP or +1 skill points, I wont be able to check until tommorrow.

Hey, how do you get the self-perpetual HoI loop running?

I have to keep attacking mobs to fill up my flasks, is it because of the 20% reduced flask + 15% from passive?

Man =)
U'r God)

Just died and I'm looking for a new build. Is this hardcore viable by any chance?

@Calyce - With the buff to blade vortex damage I believe it is much harder to make it perpetual. Actually I will have to test this myself in maps. However, For some reason, in Sarn Arena this is not the case. It is very easy to do it in mercilous Sarn arena. Try for yourself.

@Swag - I leveled the character in HC as Crit HoT/HoI. I would say that the build is viable up to a certain point. There are a few hard-hitting bosses that I would avoid doing in HC. If I had the time and patience to level another build, I would give this one a go for myself. It clears maps astronomically fast, is reflect immune, and levels very quickly.

How important is the 20% area from Carcass Jack?

I am theorycrafting a version of this as a CI inquisitor so i can drop the cold penetration gem and use life leech instead. I would also only be able to use 2x writhing jars and then have Kiara's determination (or what it's called)

Without the assassins crit from power charges, it might be hard to obtain high enough base crit on HoI since it is naturally zero.

However if you have a way around this, someone else mentioned they could craft 10% inc AoE on rare armor. If you get relatively lucky you could get semi decent ES chest. AoE is very important for the build though.

ok so I logged on to check a few things.

1) for bandits, I got +40 hp - +1 power charge - +1 skill point.

2) In maps, worms seem to have less life than in the Sarn arena. With lvl 1 blade vortex I can easily make a perpetual cycle of killing worms and proccing doedre's without any nearby monsters.

2.5) In all my video's, I am using a lvl 8 blade vortex.

Have you ever tried Atziri / Uber Izaro / T16s with this build?
