You can do a couple of different things. Assuming you have a tabula you can go ahead grab all three extra elemental damage gems from act 1 (fire, cold, lightning) and link those to faster casting and elemental focus/controlled destruction from act 2. If you do this you can also run all three heralds and just steamroll everything.

Alternatively, on a 4-link, you can do blade vortex-faster casting-added fire-controlled destruction. You will still pretty much just steam-roll everything. If you can grab a Reverberation Rod at level 23 you can drop the faster casting. With prophecy there is also the upgraded Reverberation Rod called Amplification Rod which will give you a very cheap "6-link".

thanks for the reply.. also you are recommending wands until that lvl68 two hander. and yet you use leap slam.. im guessing lightning warp or something until?

Have you tried normal atziri or uber lab yet? if so how did it go? if you havent do you think it will handle stuff like that maybe you get better gear/more links if you think you cant? I'm really interested in this build but I kind of want to do stuff like that so i'm curious :)

Oh yeah sorry about that. Just use whatever movement skill applies the your weapons of choice. For wands I just used flame dash. Daggers I used whirling blades and flame dash (to get uphills and over walls). For staff you can obviously just use leap slam. You could use lightning warp with any of these setups but its really bad with all the increased duration we get from the tree so I wouldn't recommend it.

I have never actually tried Atziri before but I think if any of my characters can do it, its this build. I was waiting to try atziri for when my character hit level 90 and I got a level 20 blade vortex. Now that both those things have happened I will probably give it a go ;). I will update if I manage to successfully kill her and I will try to record it.

I want to try uber lab as well but have only found 4/6 trials. Once I can do it I will make a video and attempt it. I am 90% sure we will be fine. I can't imagine getting 1 shot by Izaro with our level of HP and defense.

I also kind of want to re-link my pledge to at least 5-link >.> The poison gem will speed up those boss fights by a lot.

TL;DR: I have not attempted atziri or uber izaro yet but I have a lot of confidence that this build can do it.

my curse on hit/blade vortex/ warlords mark setup doesnt seem to be casting warlords mark.. im getting the charge on crit but not warlords mark.. does it work like cwdt where the lvl of the gems matter?

Yes level of your blade vortex does matter. For simplicity I just have the CWDT and the Blade Vortex at level 1. I will update the guide to better reflect that sorry for the confusion.

You can level up the curse on hit gem, the power charge on crit gem, and the warlord's mark to level 20 with no penalty. You just need the blade vortex to be low enough level to be cast by the trigger gem.

ahh so its lvl1 blade vortex.. makes sense as your just using it for the proc. still not sure i understand the cwdt gem.. that uses blade vortex for you so you dont even have to have it on your hotbar? when i get a second 5l ill do that then and add in the cwdt:)
