Use a "cast spell when you use a skill" mod on a one-handed weapon. Place Blade Vortex + Powercharge on Crit + Inc Crit Strikes. Use all 3 elemental heralds. For reflect maps, use Phys to Lightning instead of Inc Crit strikes + switch your gloves to hrimsorrow.
You will ALWAYS have at least one stack of BV surrounding you, freezing enemies and killing white mobs up to red maps, with ZERO effort.
Considering the delay between cast and kill with AB, having insta-freeze around you at all times is amazing.
Link blind with the herald of thunder to blind projectile enemies outside your BV range.
Use "of blades" glove enchantment to proliferate freezes to entire screens, holding enemies still while you drop houses on 'em.
I don't have it set up yet, but the plan is to get some reduced mana reservation to run Anger aura with a watcher's eye once I can afford a good watcher's. It doesn't seem worth it right now, but if I can get a crit Anger Watcher's Eye soon I'll make some adjustments for it, probably switch from EO to crit nodes for better freezes with BV.

Hi! I've been playing this build for Betrayal having alot of fun, and this is only the 2nd build i've ever followed so i'm not terribly great with figuring builds out, but since this is an Ignite Build, wouldn't a Ring like Emberwake (Which i've just found for the first time) work really well? Allows us to apply two ignites on an enemy? I know it causes the burn to be slower which lowers the ignite DPS, and i Looked in path of Building but i'm not really sure if PoB takes into account that you could apply two ignites to one creature. Since i think if it doesn't take the double ignite into account, it may cause more dps. if it does, then what is displayed may be correct, and it's weaker. Perhaps you'd also have to change the build to much for this to work properly?

Hi there, guys! Completed uber elder with my league starter, armageddon brand elementalist.
All of her gear is EXTREMELY optimized, the clearspeed is lightning fast and the boss damage is unreal. The build is also VERY tanky. I can also provide my personal POB/tree if you'd like :)
The gear:
The features:
Tanky AF (currently 7.2k life at level 93, perma fortify, endurance charges)
Triple resists balanced for wise oak + ele weakness capped
Insane Warlords Mark on hit ring
Insane added flat damage from gloves, ring
Insane fossil crafted elder bone helmet (spiritual aid)
Best on the market weapon for Arma Brand, currently sitting at 45k hideout avg. damage
The price:
I am completely open to offers and negotiation. I do not take item trades however, only pure currency.
Hit me up in-game so we can chat!

Sry it's lower dps in the end and I wouldnt want to give up +3 skill to Brand recall or Malachai's artifice.

Hello. Now you go on mapping to find more cool stuff to sell. Quick note. The enchant on your amulet does not work on spells. Only on attack skills.
Now try to find or buy items with more HP and get some Nice jewels to boost your damage and play speed even more!
