[3.6] Triple Herald Blade Vortex Elementalist

What was other reasons for the 2nd skill duration cluster? Vaal BV duration?

It seems to me that is just QOL and its not worth losing damage or PC over.

I think the idea of having both duration clusters is to be able to maintain max blades all the time. Overall the average damage will be better by having both as you will be able to refresh blades while attacking a pack of mobs, then move to the next pack. This will allow us to have the full 10 blades most of the time, increasing our clear speed. Then with bossing it will allow us to move more between casting more blades. Overall a dps increase.
Just want to share some of my thoughts.
It is confirmed for +x Vaal Skill lvl, but if the BV has the Vaal tag, perhaps we can use the
Atziri's Reign for Inc Duration.

The sec duration cluster costs 7 tree points. If u get 2 jew sockets in 6 points, u loose the resistance and 5% duration but get one point back. Its more fexible and if u get the sockets in 2 it would be far better.

The same for Vaal Sentencing

120% crit in one jewel?

We got a full skill list, and it seems Vaal Breach is a thing. Better sustain for bosses?

We push skill duration. If there are free sockets perhaps think about the new Vaal Auras:
Puritys for full Resis ignoration, Vaal Haste for mapping, Vaal Grace for defence?
Or if you are crazy, use Vaal RF for the 39% more spell dmg mul?

last thing: the new Vaal Flask. You get a 6 sec chance to fill up Vaal BV a sec time for more boss dmg and a 33% more dmg mult.

i am pretty sure that regular BV will not count as a vaal skill.

i am absolutely going to try the new vaal skills, even though they nerfed their duration pretty hard. Vaal RF + vaal vortex + soul ripper could take a guardian down in one go, that would be hilarious.
Hi there,

nice Build! Can u post a pastebin for Pob? - Nevermind, found it lol =)

you are not pigeonholed into the second duration cluster. i recommend it based on my knowledge and experience but you don't have to agree with me. i explicitly said in the guide: "If you get the increased BV duration helm enchant or are comfortable with just a single duration cluster anyway, you can reinvest the points elsewhere".

When it comes to pure map clear speed, damage can only take you so far. At a certain point you are hitting a damage threshold where no amount more will make you kill already dead mobs faster. However duration directly effects your map clear speed linearly and always will. The more duration you have, the less you are stopping to cast more BV; the faster you are getting through a map.

So yes, it is QoL, but it also directly affects your map clear speed.

Nope, go jugg or slayer for that.
This build suffers from trap damage since it doesn't have phys mitigation, izaaro not a problem on the other hand.
As long as you are carefull with traps, you can do all labs, and maybe even uber lab?
