I am enjoying the build so far, full screen explosions happen every time I crit which is 80%+
I don't see many others using vortex, but I think the skill will get more popular if builds like this keep surfacing


im running a vortex build myself but it isn't crit, its based around the DoT damage.
its basically like old school poison arrow but much more dmg and still just as tanky

Izaro has very predictable attacks. You can run circles around him and leave a vortex on him every few seconds. Whenever he's mid animation for an attack that you dodged, you can land a few more vortex. It's a cat&mouse game. Casters shouldnt be tanking boss hits.

You can also change one of your support links to faster projectile - frostbolt - gmp - faster casting if you plan on running uber lab a lot. That way you can kill him from range.



Which items do you think this character would need to improve? Are those (along with 4k hp) enough to do uber with that style you mentioned?

Basically all of your items need improvement. You need to get ES AND life. this is a hybrid character.

You also need gem levels.

is Controlled destruction support better to use than cold to fire support for more damg?
Hi!

Great build!
I am a noob and i'm having a ton of fun with it, thank you for posting it.

I have two questions: i found an Heretic's Veil, should i use it in this build?
If so what should my links look like using it?

Also, my Carcass is a 5L and i'm using the "spare" one for Clarity.

Controlled destruction is better.

We're already using cold to fire tho, but if your question was for a 5 link, then yea use controlled destruction instead of cold to fire.

This build is great in terms of damage, but I can't seem to survive in t12 maps. I'm lvl 89 and have been stuck here for 2 days as i kept on dying to rare mobs and map bosses. I've got 4.1k hp and 1.6k es with 77.8k tooltip dps and 87.5k while pendulum is active. Please help me to overcome this problem, this is my first character and I'm about to reroll just because i can't stop dying, but then i've put a lot of effort in this character.

Here are my equipments:


Yes I know my helmet is bad, but then I havent been able to find the right socket color for replacement, i've been trying to change the sockets i need for helmet to my gloves but had no luck with all my chroms, i'm trying to find a better amulet as well. The wands with spell dmg, crit mult&chance, and cast speed are non existent in prophecy league, tried poetrade, but it seems like the sellers had quit the game. Pls help.

EDIT: I changed from doryanis to rare belt to get more hp and es

Items look fine. You're probably just playing afraid and it's getting you killed.

Warp INTO a pack and cast vortex. Look at my video and look at how aggressively I play. It's the same play style as the old ice nova. If you walk up to packs, you'll get hit and potentially die. It's a cold build with tons of crit, you shouldn't ever get hit by anything.
