(2.4) Wormblaster the Third (A Herald of Ice build)

The more armor the better obviously, but I wouldn't go out of my way to look for pieces with it. 100% fortify and IC help a ton.
Been farming Shaper nicely as well, 8k hp.



Really want to try it with Kaoms and the Essence league helmet though


93 lvl, shaper is done, thanks for this great build, its really awesome.
Hi guys

I need help with this build how do you keep the flasks up i struggle against bosses even if I start the fight with 7 stacks of blade vortex.

Make your profile public and I'll have a look at your tree & gear. Might be that your crit chance is too low or your AOE too small.

However, I found that against some bosses (crematorium boss especially for some reason) I need 15-20 stacks to begin with.

What I do:
1) turn off HOI and spam flasks (you won't kill worms very quickly without HOI so you gain a lot of charges quickly).
2) When you have > 15 BV stacks, run up to boss while continuing to spam flasks.
3) When at boss, turn on HOI and continue spamming flasks.
4) Boss dies.

You can also take out CWD and precast BV manually, but that's fairly clunky and by the time you have put the CWDT back in and run up to boss you have already lost have of the BV stacks again.

If you want I can make a quick video tonight.

What is your crit chance if you go to offense and click on blade vortex?
What would be the requirements needed before trying the Guardians and Shaper?

Not at home atm so can't check. But I've got 0 crit chance on gear. Using 20/20 increased crit gem at level 92 though - with harvest you gain crit as you level.

DPS is not actually as important as total life (lower dps just makes the fight last much longer - and you won't be able to save Zana so may die to the purple balls). For shaper I would probably try and get at least 8k damage on HOI with all buffs up (remember you can use a sulphur flask for extra damage, but bear in mind you have to dodge his slams and you may want to use a quicksilver) and 8.5 - 9k life.

I had around 9.2k life + 400mana (I'm using MoM) and around 9k dps with buffs up. Done 2 runs so far, both with 1 death each (first one Zana died & i got gibbed by the purple balls and second one I had a cramp in my hand :D).

Guardians are much easier (but also pretty tanky). Those I can tank with pretty crazy mods (see http://pathofmaps.com/users/1094).
