[2.5][HC/SC] Triple Blade Vortex Pathfinder - easy HC Shaper/Uber/T16

Drop increased duration in your 4link bv. I have Faster casting + culling strikes 20q(10% increased cast speed) + spell echo + level 1 bv then in my chest BV + BV + ic aoe/conc effect + Void manipulation + added chaos + controlled destruction.
This way you never end up with 20 stacks that do no dmg too since they all last the same length. I changed the tree a bit as my gear allows for 14000 es still at 87. I have temp chains + warlords for mana/life leech and endurance charges for longer immortal calls, with vuln on hit gloves, also less mana regen required as WM gives mana leech too. When bossing I run rumis as my 4th flask 55block 43spell block when used with stone of lazhwar with +1curse, dying sun for trash. I dropped bowyer for Nature's adrenaline since I have more flask charge nodes I don't have flask refill issues.

Tree I'm using:




I tested having inc aoe in the 4link bv but it doesn't work correctly the outer aoe of the bv does the low dmg stack hits and the mobs only take big hits/die when they get in close to me and enter the aoe radius of the conc effect bv.

Sorry if this was asked again but, how do you leech? only with the atziris flask? (with obliteration)

He uses leech enchant on his boots so that he gets leech on kill as well as atziri. I find it unsafe and I prefer to run warlords mark for life mana and endurance charges.

would using the demonic blade vortex effect(micro transanction) allow me to be sure the real dps BV is up ? Like i could use red BV for the noob one (4l) and green bv for the op one. So spam red,when you dont see green no more,it means your not leeching.

Trying this on HC so id like to hear from this. Ill test it myself but,it would be great if it works.

Few things:

Wouldn't Assassin still far-and-away be top DPS? Do you run Pathfinder for another 100% necessary reason (immunity)?

You gain lots of crit, obviously. You gain 30% skill duration. You also gain 20% of physical as extra chaos damage, as well as 100% more poison damage. Sin's Rebirth being 30%*1.5=45% is outclassed here, as far as I can tell (50% vs 45%).

Is there any way to bug in a scourge + quiver?

Thanks in advance!

Believe me you don't need more dps you already melt everything with a 1 bv poison build. Pathfinder brings a much better qol with flasks being up 100% of the time, so no shocks burns chills/freezes which is a massive pain in the ass if you have played CI you would know how annoying being chilled and frozen is. Crit just means your going to give up 2-3k es for crit nodes moving you close to 1 shot territory again, one of the curses would need to go as points will be super tight. Gearing ties you in to 2 diamond rings a diamond flask crit on your shield and probably a spell dagger with crit too losing you all the bonus double dipping of minion damage from the scourge and you need a way to poison so that means losing a gem to use the poison gem itself in your 6 links so take away all the bonus of void manipulation. So I would say crit and assassin isn't worth it you give up so much for the difference I think PF would be in front by this point.

I have nice helmet for sale which makes this build even more crazy - for someone who want to brake record with shaper clearing speed.

Before you criticize the price - probability of getting exact enchant in uber lab is 1/383. Which makes about 265 runs to hit 1/2 probability of hitting the desired (+40% damage) enchant. The rest of the math is easy...

Except that helm is crap for vuln and temp chains. You lose quality on blasphemy which is 10% increased curse effect so for vul and temp chains +10% of 30% =3% so 33% vs level 22 vuln or temp chains = 31%. Also 22 blasphemy adds only 4% aoe radius of the curses which isnt required because bv is a melee range sized skill. The build doesnt really need more points as there isn't much more double dipping dps to take so saving 3 points from charisma would only probably give you 3 more es nodes 14k es is already enough. Most people want the duration or radius enchant because 40% increased damage is nothing on this build. The only way to balancing it a bit would be to run enhance which would force you to give up something in gems that the build needs to function and keep the 3 points in charisma for maybe 1% curse effect. Also lack of res and lower es and no int which is possible for a hubris make it a much worse option.

Can someone confirm for me that the double blade vortex still works, I've tried testing it out but I really can't tell for certain.

Still works.

Tested w/ both regular setup and swapped for a lowlvl BV to be sure.
