[2.4 VIDEO] #1 Pathfinder PHC - Blade Vortex flask build. Uber atziri video. Easy lvling

Hello, i am running this build for essence and i really like it so far, but i have some questions for progression as i am struggling a little with rare packs and bosses in terms of damage.

My next upgrades in the list are:

Unique flasks
Carcass
6L

Now what should i go for first?(i am struggling with damage, but i can face tank most things in my level range)

A: I could get a decent 6L upgrade for my chest which would set me about 25-50 Chaos.

B: Carcass 5L for 30-50 Chaos

C: Vinktar/Taste of hate for 300 chaos each

Now are the flasks really worth it in terms of damage, or should i just get carcass/6L for a much cheaper upgrade for the moment.
Vinktar is 80c, but taste of hate is 4-5 exalts..

I would definitly go for vinktars first dont underestimate the shock from the flask (50% increased damage from all sources). Its a quite big damage boost. After that a taste of hate or going from 5l to a 6l will probalby cost the same (~5-6ex) and grant you the about the same dmg. ( toh : 30% of phys dmg as extra cold, added fire gem : up to 44% of phys as extra fire.)

I would go for : Vinktar (cheap one for 80c and use phys to lightning gem) -> 5L carcass -> 6L carcass/ Toh(5-6ex) -> Vinktar (conversion 5ex)

Thanks for the answer, so is the cheap one lightning damage to spells or 10% penetration? And for phys to lightning, i replace fire damage gem right?
Hey there Bogok!

Id like to thank you for this wonderful build but i needed to ask a question. What changes would you make for a soft core version? Would you go CI if so how?

Maybe thats something you could add to your guide? Soft core might be able to take more damage and a little less focus on survivability? What are your thoughts?

Thanks again!
guys i feel very squishy at level 73, cant even tank t9 maps without dying, how should i do now?






also, why everyone is not taking chaos resist at all? how do u guys deal with poison damage?

thanks in advance.
@Saerah you need ph->light gem for blade vortex.
Vinktar is not doing alot without this.

Could you share your passiv tree ?

Why did you not used Evasion Boots and Helmet ?

Also if feel that this flask is better than basalt:


ps, is this cwdt + power charge on crit realy working well ? and you need warlords marks

The defense/leech from your vinktar is basically useless if you dont use a phys to lightning gem or a conversion vinktar. I would replace inc aoe with phys to lightning and see how it goes. If that doesnt help run lower level maps. You don't have to run t9's at lvl 73 to get max exp. (See http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Experience).

Chaos resistance is not really necessary because you get 30% from master herbalist and if you use atziri's promise aswell you get another 45% (30% from the flask and 15% from the increased flask effects). Getting 1-2 items with chaos res doesn't hurt tho. Im sitting at 65% chaos res in merciless when my flasks are up.

Hi, my friend (no, really my friend) is following your build. Can you quickly explain how you get 50 charges and also what provides your Mana Leech? She has the correct flasks and all the correct gear, so any help would be useful. Currently she is able to generate a max of 50 charges.
Opps, sorry, currently she is able to generate a maximum of 20 charges, my mistake.
