[2.5] The Anomaly Tank

CWDT is used to cast flame dash, as well as a secondary 2l vortex. This is effective for killing monsters while stunned, or closing the gap to ranged.

will this cast vortex under my feet or attackers from far away?

Cwdt - flame dash - vortex has an interesting interaction.

As long as Flame dash is set in the cast order before vortex, flame dash will bring you to the nearest monster/player, then vortex will be cast. This only happens when the monster/player is within reach of flame dash.

hi again , im trying to do a Blade vortex version of your awesome build , im lvl 80 at the moment
this is my skill tree
i dont have so many life regen nodes because i think spell crit is good for blade vortex, what do you think? this is a good decision?.

my gear right now



i have some mana problems because im using voidbringers so im using mana leech in my 6l ,i killed laser piety , 3 organs , malachai merciless without die with this gear

just i have some doubts maybe you can help me

1.- how you deal with the '' 50% increased elemental status ailment duration on you'' life regen nodes help you? , a rogue exile with searing bond killed me because ignite lol

2.- I think rumi's concoction are awesome but i lose all my charges flask so fast in sarn arena( i guess in random 1 vs 1 pvp too ) how you deal with this? Block jewels?

3.- do you think '' Zealoth's oak'' is a good choice in my case? ( i think its pretty good but i want your expert opinion)

4.- any advice for hall of grandmasters and random pvp?

Hope you can help me

Hey Espada, Glad to see you're trying out blade vortex. As the pathfinder, as long as you are using a flask, you are immune to elemental status ailments with "Master Alchemist".

-Since you dont get much life regen, ZO might not be worthwhile.

-I am not too familiar with how to optimize blade vortex, but I might suggest Elreon -8 mana rings. You can also use Vinktars - as long as you deal lightning damage you will leech mana instantly

-block - you will need one Reckless Defense Jewel to achieve 75/75 block. You will also need at least 28%/15% rumi's.

-I am able to never run out of flasks when using
Even without chalice, using a belt like reduces the charges spent, and the crit mod helps a lot to regain flasks.

-Hall of grandmasters is really easy for me, just pop rumi's, use a "warding" flask, and go. Vinktar can also be very helpful.

hey again , ty for help me , my blade vortex version didnt like me so much lol so i spend some regrets and i back to your original version and its pretty awesome! and tanky!

now im using Master Alchemist and Reckless Defense jewel, just i have some doubts again:

1-legacy rumi's and legacy Aegis are mandatory? ( the build is pretty awesome at the moment i can farm merciless lab very easy )

2-vortex takes me a lot of mana ,so i have to run discipline and clarity to can use vortex , do you have the same problem?

3.- Grand spectrum Viridian jewel are mandatory for high dps? or there's another way to have more damage? DoT nodes? spell nodes?

4.- whats your strategy for atziri? what general i must kill 1st? and what about vaal robots?


my skill tree right now:



My gear (its almost the same):



what do you think of my gems combination?

-Legacy Rumi's is not needed. You can get 15%/28% one's for max block. Legacy aegis also is not mandatory, but obviously it is twice as strong.

-yes vortex is a lot of mana, I use rallying cry instead of clarity, and this solves my mana problem.

-Grand spectrum is the best way to achieve high damage. They are very efficient unless you dont have enough jewel nodes.

-Here is a very good tip: when doing maps, use chance to ignite gem instead of elemental focus.

-For atziri, make sure you are not using cwdt flame dash. You can kill trio in any order, they are super easy. On Uber atziri, you need to be fast to dodge her spells. With 10k es, you will die in two hits.

Added T13 map run to show clear-speed with enfeeble.

Cool build, I made an Aegis Pathfinder this league and it's really funny. I got all my armour from flasks, 45k armour with flasks 4k without, so good.

I noticed in your OP you say your only legacy gear is Aegis Aurora, however you're using legacy Vinktar's as well, so you might want to edit your OP. Legacy vs non-legacy Vinktar's is pretty big.

Cool build, will you run it again in AoW or trying something new?

Yea I would say any vinktar would work fine, I leveled in prophecy HC without any vinktar at all.

-I am not sure if I want to play in the essence league, usually I just use leagues to make a character once I have a really good idea in mind

Would it be possible to transfer this 'anomaly' into totems?
