[3.6] Triple Herald Blade Vortex Elementalist
" i've already updated the guide for 3.3 update including the gem links. the 6th link is situational. conc effect is a must on end game bosses. pcoc can be good for mapping if you invest in power charges but bad for bossing if you start the fight without charges. efficacy is a good all-rounder, especially good if you decide not to allocate the second duration cluster on the tree. crit damage may work too but it depends on you gear. spell echo can be safely retired. it is a simple math - spell echo is 1.7 cast speed multiplier but we only have 1/2 max stacks now, so by dropping it you are still 2/1.7 = 17.6% ahead. and you no longer get the 10% less damage penalty. it is a no-brainer really.

revamped hypothermia gem has been revealed and it hasn't been nerfed, so it stays in the build 20/20 vaal blade vortex is also revealed and it has been nerfed already - vaal vortex base duration is reduced from 5 to 3 seconds possibly making the 2 duration clusters version of the tree more appealing. |

Thanks for the update.
I have a question on Inpulsa. If I can get a well-rolled 5L Inpulsa (say 48% for inc damage and 39% for inc effect), is it still worth it to get a poorly-rolled 6L Inpulsa (say 25%/30%), possibly for a couple of ex. |

" Yeah for sure! |

Since blade vortex is hitting a lot quicker in 3.3 doesn't the dps also increase by that same amount of hits per second?
|

Can someone run the numbers and see if 3.3 is actually a buff or a nerf?
Just because you drop spell echo and replace with a more modifier gem doesn’t mean It can beat losing 10 freaking blades. Not only that, they nerfed the flat pays per blade at Lvl 20. Unless the new stats make up for that somehow. I need to see some napkin math before I commit to this build. Thank you. |

" ... yes. But as it is hitting a lot quicker, max stack size was reduced. " You lose 10 blades but you're also hitting a shitton more per blade (10% increased hit rate per stack before to 35% per stack now). And getting a % more modifier while maintaining your average BV dps is huge, so in the end it's a buff for sure. And there's no flat phys per blade nerf, the values on the gem preview for 3.3 are the same as before (123 to 185 at lv 20). There was also a 5% increase in the "more damage for each blade", went from 30% to 35%. Last edited by leafyr0kr#4392 on May 31, 2018, 1:53:38 AM

" 6 links is always going to be better and you can fix your bad rolls with a couple of divine orbs later on anyway |
|
" old bv at 20 stacks: 7 * 3 / 0.6 = 35 multiplier new bv at 10 stacks: 4.5 * 4.5 / 0.6 = 33.75 multiplier + 100% increased crit |

" When you do it, then grab also all PCs from the skill tree. In the end the character would reach 6 PCs. So 24% more damage is quite good for such a utility skill. However, tree needs to be adjusted and one duration cluster needs to be dropped. |
