And the idea of using all of them is kind of daunting lol The gems in the weapon are cast automatically whenever I use a skill; check out the weapon parts of the gear section for more. If you watch the video again, you can see them being cast automatically whenever I use Vortex, Cold Snap, or Flame Dash. They trigger EE and help deal more damage.

Ahh I see, I really need to start reading the guides thoroughly before asking questions! Thank you for the clarification. :P	Posted by Deese1127#0221 on Apr 5, 2019, 6:51:15 PM Quote this Post

If your damage will be on a 4L, I wouldn't spec out of too much damage. You can always take the curse effect over by the CI keystone and drop maybe a jewel or two.

If you check out dsfarblarwaggle on yt hes got a cold snap vortex build guide that has a pob you can grab and compare between his tree and OPs tree. I say this only because he runs enf temp chains and blasphemy	Posted by rvaHammer#4542 on Apr 5, 2019, 9:24:54 PM Quote this Post

The pathing is different until you switch to Chaos Innoculation. The leveling tree takes life nodes and other nodes to assist in getting to maps. At some point in a CI build, you have to use Regret Orbs or the Respec points you get during the story to back out of a lot of nodes and into the Energy Shield ones.
