I think if you are not using the Essence worm unique ring (that allows you to use an aura without mana reservation) you should either sacrifice haste or Mind over Matter; neither of those are mandatory, and sacrificing one of them is very beneficial for your mana pool.
As you know the equip you are using is not optimal, you should try to get as much life as you can, but I think it's ok to start the build and test it. I would not use Increased Duration in the main blade vortex setup, if you've already taken the duration nodes in the tree your blade vortex should last 9.5 seconds, which is already a pretty long time. You can swap it out with Increased AOE, Added Chaos, Iron Will (if you have enough STR to make it worth) or empower (if you have one at least level 2/3).

still droped inc. dur. and with add chaos i have atm 5k dam with only lvl 10 vortex :D my life ist still good with 4k. first lvling the gems then optimising the equip. need more lightning res :(

Ye that's pretty fair, tooltip damage doesn't actually reflect your clearspeed, since it mostly comes from explosion and chaining them. I also suggest you to buy another Obliteration and dual wield it, they are really affordable and it will boost your clearspeed by a good amount.

Hey Dude,

Lvling up a similar build around blade vortex right now but going to use repentance gloves and rf to massively boost blade vortex's damage giving a free link for iron will. Rf is a free multiplier for BV as well so I am going juggernaut to be tanky as all hell without losing really any dps by not going another class. Going crit, 6 power charges, can link my tree if someone wants. Going to try out your poison/obliteration wand combo with mine to see how it varies but I planned on picking up EE to boost my dps even more but don't think it will work with poisonas its not an element to my knowledge. Testing testing testing, as they say.

Hi! If you pull it off I think it can be a great build, but I see some problems and I'm not sure how you are going to deal with them.
First of all, going crit and righteous fire at the same time is very difficult; you can do it, but you gotta invest in those crit to make them effective, and you also need to have a good life pool and massive life regen to sustain RF. This also prevents you from taking Vaal Pact, which is fine generally speaking, but when you invest in crits and huge tooltip damage VP is often mandatory, or you are going to kill yourself to reflect sooner or later.
I also suppose you are forced to use a bit too many unique items without any life (or with very little life), making you less safe. Not just that, you also want to use Repentance, so you gotta satisfy their huge INT requirement (300 and something) which is not only pretty wasted as a stat by itself, but also has a negative effect on your survability (scaling your ES, which is terrible for RF; if you want to use something life Rise of the Phoenix or any other piece with ES, INT is going to scale it by a lot). I'm not even sure if it's actually worth using Iron Will (or repentance in this case), I have the feeling you won't be able to stack that much STR (but it depends on your gear and passives, which I don't know at this moment).
In the end, you are forced to not run maaany map mods (or you have to turn off RF, chunking your DPS), which is not a problem if you can roll maps as much as you want and have infinite currency, but for general human beings it's a pretty negative stuff.
And yes, EE does NOT work in any way with poison, or chaos/phys damage in general, as you already said.

hi, i already 87 lvl in this build, and its still very funny for me. But i cant farm uber Labyrinth.



but hes just one shot me all time

what should i do with it?

The way I play the fights with izaro is as follows:
- Enter the room, position yourself by him and start stacking Blades (you should be able to reach 35-40 in the time he actually spawns)
- Use hybrid flask to keep mana almost full (allows you to not get 1-shot if you get hit)
- As he is spawning, use basalt and atziri flasks (atziri is just to add more damage, but basalt is mandatory)
- Stand by him for just 1-2 sec, you can tank his first attack without dying; you should have chunked him already and applied a good amount of poison stacks, run in circle dodging his stuff while the poison does his job and he goes back in his elevator.

note: if you find yourself strugglin a lot, you can swap Arctic Armour in place of Haste (if you are using my setup).

Update 30/6.

Reached level 90 few days ago, adding new dps and defence screenshots.

I believe bladefall would work as well, with some changes here and there. But I don't like selfcasting bladefall and I have no experience about it.

Hey, in merci lab you want skill "Aspect of Carnage".
The 3 points before are just useless, because they give attack speed, little bit movement speed and some attack damage, is it just worth for "40% more Berserker damage" ?

Is there an option to take another class or just another points from berserker ?
I try your build in HC (YOu said its 'Con' for HC, but I wrote that to late, what do you think ?

Is "Cloaked in Savagery" possible to be worth in HC, its good to be alive ^^
