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

Would you consider this build good as a first league build?

Or, will it work well without the unique flasks and other pieces of gear?

and on the way get acro+phase acro

That'll reduce your armor by 50% and block by 30% and you'll get a shit ton of both from Rumi's. If you look at stat pics in OP, he has 8k armor and 67%/54% block.

True, thanks for clearing things up as I didn't remember about acro reducing block chance. Might roll with acro/phase acro until I afford a Rumi's or just skip it for more dps/life right away then.

I used it as first build in a league - I did very well!

Hey , i plan to play this build on Prophecy SC at the release , and i tested on std your build.

The main problem is i have 0 mana leech if i don't have vinktar , and with mom my mana is at 0 all the time , i removed mom and the essence worm ring to put hatred + blasphemy warlord mark.

Its working but without mom the damage im taking are kinda hard to survive , is there any way to sustain mana without vinktar ? is a mana pot worth it to pick ?

My friend, thats Curse on Hit + warlord mark + BV setup for, so you are regenerating mana all the time pretty fast as long as you are hitting multiple enemies.

Remember that you can have the dmg BV setup and a secod CoH BV on top, it wont be visually noticeable, but you will be getting endurance charges from warlord's mark all the time that way.

Am I missing something? Why is CoH a better alt to blasphemy? Seems like unnecessary work to have 2 BV's up instead of blasphemy doing it automatically.

This build uses essence worm for hatred and doesn't reserve any mana, so it allows you to use MoM and 50-stack BV for bosses. You could drop MoM, reserve 85% of your mana and use Vaal Clarity for stacking if you want, but that's a big effective HP pool loss.

Is there any reason you prefer Faster Casting over Increased Duration in your links? Wouldn't Duration allow for better poison stacking?

P.S. Sorry if this has already been asked/answered, I tried to scan through but I could have missed it.

20/20 Increased duration gives 74% but since you already have 90% from tree it's only 39% more. And we have hatred, added fire gem and flasks are converting a lot of physical damage to elemental so big portion of our damage isn't even counting for poison. And since you aren't killing the mobs with last tick of your last poison stack, poison damage increase is always lower than that 39%, eg. vs trash it's practically 0%. You need to spend 4 seconds dealing damage before ID would make any difference for poison dot.

I guess it'd be a little QoL increase to have BV stay up longer, but on the other hand faster casting is also a decent QoL thing.

There's a lot of misconception about poison somehow excessively benefitting from having lots of stacks, but it doesn't. The amount of stacks isn't doubledipping in any way, just increased/more damage stats are. And this build isn't really even focusing on stacking doubledipping poison damage, so poison isn't *that* strong anyway. The thing that makes it crazy with eg. mines is that basically all their support gems are more multipliers and they get *a lot* of increased damage from the tree.

Great job with this one, my man! I'm fuxin with it in league, and it's like playing the game with training wheels on omg!

Hey man, first of all thanks for the build. Currently playing it in PSC and its a breeze.
What would you say is the first priority flask to get? Vinktar's or ToH? I'm currently shooting for a Taste simply because its more expensive, but maybe going for Vinktar's first would be better?
Also which Vinktar's variation is best for us? Phys conversion from what I've seen posted so far?

Cheers
