This may be a dumb question but I notice the only leech is your Atziri flask which is marked as recommended and not required. Do you take leech from other sources for VP/GR if not using Atziri's flask or is Atziri's flask pretty much mandatory? Or perhaps I am missing something?

Thank you

This build makes use of Warlord's Mark. That curse gives good leech, the Atziri flask just doubles it when active.

Can you guys tell me what i can improve more on my build?The only thing that comes to my mind is getting more es, especially on my helm(got some bad rolls but i needed the resistances and saced the es for the enchant dmg)
I struggle on shaper since the dmg seems pretty low.It may me being bad with him who knows.

Here's my character link:

1. Do you replace Increased AOE support for Concentrated Effect at bosses?

2. Try to get a lvl 21 plus 20 quality Vortex. That is a nice damage boost.

3. Try to get fingerless silk gloves with useful stats. Sorcerer gloves are good, but fingerless are better, 16% free spell damage on the implicit is very good. And they don't require any enchantment.

4. If you have some currencies to spend, going lowlife is the best thing to do. The damage gain is immense, the survivability loss is hardly noticeable. It's only a matter of cost: you need a 6L Shav + a Presence of Chayula. That's about 12-13 exalted orbs to invest.
Yes i use conc effect on Shaper.My dps with 5 wither stacks, enemy is a boss checked ,no frenzy charges is 800k which is pretty similar to other people which went low life.Tried to simulate a realistic fight.

I know the next step should be low life but looking at the stats i think this should be enough to kill him.It may be me mostly playing the fight wrong.I seem to get overwhelmed by the cold balls since i can't kill him fast enough.

The only time i can really unleash is during his beam and burning through his shield alone seems slow.I'll try and switch the golem for an oos and maybe get an overflowing chalice for more burst.
But man it hurts spending 60 c for Shaper.Good thing is end of the league.

What do you recommend for leveling weapons? I am currently level 40 and self casting a 4L Vortex. Lifesprig is starting to feel pretty weak. Should I be looking for high spell damage wands until I can equip the consuming dark?

Thank you

I'd suggest a good roll sceptre with elemental damage or high spell damage wands, whatever you can equip or is cheaper.
Finally, Shaper is down in the last day.I must say switching to LL is an incredible boost( 50% more dps for me).
Overall i had fun playing this build and it has a nice gameplay.Except for Shaper you really are immortal vs rest of the content, even the guardians.
Unfortunately, I don't think this build is playable in 2.6. The Pyre nerfs are big, yes, but the damage of this build is high enough to not really matter. You'd only feel the damage nerf on Shaper and possibly some Guardian rolls, as every other piece of content is easily done on a 5L. And you can always swap to LL to get that damage back.

The real change is the AoE nerfs. Vortex has a really small base AoE radius, and it really doesn't feel good until you have both wheels, a high level inc AoE gem (17+), and a 20q gem/AoE on gear. You really have to stack radius to get good clearspeed. The nerfs to stacking this much radius is going to hit Vortex immensely, and the gem itself got no changes to make up for the nerfs. I imagine the radius you're looking at in 2.6 would be as if you were running without an inc AoE gem (only wheels, quality gem and/or gear).

I understood the changes that getting a decent AoE will be easier without heavy investment, only getting really large AoE will be harder

+1

And I'll be starting with this build next league.
OLD
Blight - CwC - Vortex - Controlled Destruction - Inc AoE/Conc Effect - Void Manipulation


NEW
Vortex - Controlled Destruction - Inc AoE/Conc Effect - Void Manipulation - Cold to fire - faster casting/less duration/???

droping CWC for cold to fire since pyre nerf
getting 1 more gem slot dunno what we can get

1) what about decay dagger + consuming dark combo? that is probably really bad coz half conversion

2) what about delirium gloves? "Gloves: Socketed Gems deal 30% more Damage over Time"
