Currently leveling that build in the new league, i found out you're also the one behind the Summon raging inferno build i did in prophecy so, i guess i like your builds overall :D
I can confirm the build works great so far even without the claw and grand spectrums, it's not a top clearer but it's really enjoyable to tank the breaches and basically not care about most mobs. I basically just have the Aegis and some random ES gear, no enlighten or empower either and only a 5L, gonna see how far i can go before i really need more upgrades.
Even at 3K tooltip, the Vortex does a good job at clearing stuff.
I'm also planning on getting a % damage taken gained as mana corrupted ring, as it seems like the best plan to cover the mana issues i'm running into (only 100 mana to use for spells is a bit short).
I have some questions though, as it's not clear for me yet:
-Equilibrium, how does it work exactly for the build setup ? I understand Orb of storms is used to trigger it, but on hitting Vortex it seems it only counts as a fire hit, right ? So orb of storms debuffs cold and fire, then vortex debuffs cold and lightning, so the cold ground effect gets the debuff no matter what ?
-would you advice getting the claw or grand spectrums first ? It doesn't feel the claw is such a big boost over any scepter with % fire and % cold on top of elemental damage, right ?
-also, how does the double dipping on dots work with damage types ? I thought spell dmg was the best one as it's specified on the gem, but it seems % fire and % cold are better ? What about elemental damage ? And does it reflect on tooltip at all or is the dps calculated there completely useless anyway ?
Thanks in advance, and for the awesome builds ! :)
