Hey,

one question, you mentioned that for temp chains with blashphemy we need to switch our ascendancy to profane bloom double curse. I cant find the first curse in the build so why profane bloom? Did i miss curse one or did you forget it in your setup?

Anyone have tried another setup for better mapping? Damage is good, survavility is good, but mapping sucks a little more than I thought, not terrible but doesn't feel good.

I'm not using the "Trigger a socketed spell.." on my wand at the moment, so maybe I could use that 3 free sockets for a spell which clears better?

The main purpose of that is to trigger EE. It won't really help your clear speed besides making vortex do even more damage

Frostbolt + Faster Projectiles Support + Greater Mutiple Projectiles Support. Cast Frostbolt first and then cast Vortex for better mapping

what happens if I have 2 trigger wands? I was thinking getting a second one with frostbolts for mapping

also I have a question regarding the whole 'freeze' thing. is it important? vortex doesn't freeze at all since it's elemental focus supported so I was thinking about importance of nodes like 'fingers of frost', can someone elaborate on that part too?

Interested in hearing how this build is preforming end-game right now, i am only into T6 atm and its going well. Just curious before I start investing alot of currency

I can't use Malevolence and Discpline at the same time if i don't have a Enlighten support linked with one of then, so how can you use both of then without Enlighten?

Then you've linked one of them with a support gem as Malevolence on its own is a 50% reservation and Discipline is a 35% reservation.

Im using this... And flasks




Should i change anything? I was looking for a diferent shield with more ES. Im at 11.6k ES

Loving this build btw.
