Hi,
What is the reason you don't pick Pain Attunement in the tree? As long as we have CI, we're always on low life and with this node we would have a permanent 30% MORE spell damage. Am I missing something? Also, would you care to check my profile and tell me where should I improve next? I'm currently farming to get to at least 7k ES, but I feel I could have a bit more DPS. Thanks! Nice build! |

You counted as Full Life when using CI. So if you want to use pain attunement you will use shavs with presence of chayula and use blood magic to reserve an aura to become low life that time you will gain the pain attunement keystone

That makes sense. Thanks!

" You have enough damage on your tree and equipment you should have more DoT than 320k hmmm. My build now is not the same as ghazzy now. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Yunarakami/characters see my profile and compare :D Also respect to Malediction for +1 Curse I see that you have 2 curses but not anointing whispers of doom so getting malediction will give you +1 additional curse Last edited by Yunarakami#2017 on Jan 27, 2020, 11:55:00 PM

I know I have a lot to improve, but my Vortex DPS at the momment is 155k (without EO/EE). I see some people with 300-400k DPS and I can't find out what would double my DPS like that while still going for CI. I know "+1 to level of all cold skill gems" would be a good upgrade, but those are very expensive. I'd be glad to read some suggestions. Cheers!

" How much currency do you have to work with? Item-wise: Important upgrades: amulet with Tranquility, a better helmet (Rime Gaze is a cheap DPS option; Heretic's Veil is also cheap if you don't want to sacrifice the regen speed to Rime Gaze. Still, you're running Bated Breath so I'd get Rime Gaze.), a much better body armor (you're losing thousands of ES here), Incursion rings with ES and %max ES. Your Witchfire Brew's Despair Aura isn't doing anything, because you have a max curse limit of 1 and it's used on Temporal Chains. Build-wise: This depends on whether you want to deviate from this build guide. You can switch out Vile Bastion for Malediction and work Frostbite into your build (with Rumi's Concoction in place of Witchfire Brew). This'll help with both map and boss clear speed. If you switch out Vile Bastion, change your Pantheon to Soul of the Brine King or stuns will drive you insane.) How you work Frostbite in is up to you; personally, I self-cast Frost Bomb and Orb of Storms with a Curse on Hit gem, adding Culling Strike and Tempest Shield to my weapon. This requires removing the Immortal Call trio, and some find that to be too much self-casting, though. (Casting these really only matters on bosses.) Alternatively, switch these out and don't switch to Frostbite, instead using your Witchfire Brew's Despair Aura as your +1 curse. Simply switching out Vile Bastion for Malediction and using Rime Gaze (with max CDoT) instead of your helm will give you a massive DPS and clear speed boost.

Video not working, any alternate link?
What do you think about LL vs CI? LL should give more damage correct? I have a max block miner I was thinking of rolling the gear into something else since I have a different miner now, this seems like it would work. Interested to see how bosses and metamorphs fair with Vortex. |

" I'll definetely go for Rime Gaze and Tranquility on amulet. Now I'm strongly considering switching to Malediction and working with Frostbite. Just a little worried about ES regen loss from Vile Bastion. Still I'll give it a try. Thanks! |
