hello fellow herald blade elementalists. In end game do you prefer having life leech or damage on your amulet ? I'm not sure what to prefer. Is warlords mark enough for all end game bosses etc ? Also what are the best dagger enchantments ? here there's a lot of listed

- I went for damage, and an instant life pot for emergencies.
- Warlord's mark is sufficient. That said, adding a second curse is definitely nice to have. Especially as curses on bosses were buffed for 3.6.
- Dagger enchantments? Do you mean affixes? I look for global crit multiplier, spell damage, and gain % of physical damage as extra fire / cold / lightning damage. Anything I can get on top of that is pure bonus. I haven't messed around with path of building to see which affixes are actually more important - the DPS output with even average weapons is pushing a million shaper DPS, so why worry? This isn't a build that you'll need to min/max.

Is it just me or is the updated PoB for 3.6 for this build not displaying the skill tree correctly? There are only a few skills selected

Blade Vortex

Blade Vortex - Added Fire Damage - Controlled destruction - Physical to Lightning - Increased Critical Strikes - Efficacy / Power Charge on Critical / Increased Critical Damage / Concentrated Effect

Replace Added Fire Damage with Hypothermia once you get the Beacon of Ruin ascendancy node.
Last slot is situational. Use Conc effect on tough bosses, and a support of your choice for mapping.

Swap out Hypothemia if u dun have beacon of ruins

Last gem slot

Efficiency - Great all rounder
Concentrated Effect - More DPS on tough boss
Spell Echo - Amazing Mapping experience and once shaped weapons has been completed its will outperform efficiency and concentrated effect.

Btw, i use unleash as 6 gem and its great. Guys in reddit checked, that there is no negatives from it for BV. As for me, even against uber elder it`s the best option. Less time to cast 10 stacks - more time to dodge, for melee characters its important.

This new flask from the cortex boss is so good for BV. Only downside is you have to sacrifice a debuff
