Witch - [3.6] Triple Herald Blade Vortex Elementalist - Forum

It looks like BV was changed (previously said 'nerfed') slightly post patch notes alongside the other skill nerfs. The skill BV gem on Bex's latest post no longer has the increased ailments damage on the gem (which differs from the patch notes). Edit: As Dirty mentions below this might just be a wording change to generic wording with no impact to the skill, I missed that both hits and ailments were removed. Updated post accordingly to prevent confusion. Hard to tell which is accurate at the moment. They're sure making it confusing right now. " Now has 35% increased hit rate for each blade (up from 10%). Now deals 35% more damage for each blade (up from 30% for hits, no longer specifically mentions hits or ailments damage). Now has 10% increased critical strike chance for each blade. Now has a limit of 10 active spinning blades (down from 20). Last edited by jermslio#7680 on May 31, 2018, 4:41:30 PM	Posted by jermslio#7680 on May 31, 2018, 8:59:56 AM Quote this Post

hi there, great guide so far, thx for that dude. i just was wondering if we have a warlords mark ring and we skip the lower section in the passive tree with the increased duration and go for 2nd curse on top plus jewel socket. just replace then the warlords mark with assasssins mark, would u recommend that, would it work? thx already. keep up good work.

Going to be running this in 3.3, i have a question about elemental overload. Now that we necessarily dont have to run spell echo in or BV setup, PCoC is the other option. Using PCoC would mean we are leaing towards more of a crit build so would unspeccing out of EO be worth it, even though we are sacraficing 40% more dmg? Obviously with PCoC you need to spec into power charge nodes to make it worth it. Besides PCoC wouldn't ice bite be another good option for flat cold? Efficacy also would be decent. Interested too see what you guys think.	Posted by BwenR#6397 on May 31, 2018, 10:08:58 AM Quote this Post

How does this build compare to the Mathil Elementalist BV build he did in Bestiary? His build looks very similar, but is running Wrath aura and self-cast Assassin's Mark. Trying to figure out my league starter and which way to go.	Posted by Gussboy#7602 on May 31, 2018, 5:45:31 PM Quote this Post
What are you doing for sustain on the new tree? Blood Drinker was dropped so is it just assassins mark?	Posted by SoCal#7186 on May 31, 2018, 6:02:01 PM Quote this Post
