[3.6] Triple Herald Blade Vortex Elementalist

Guys, does Choir of the Storm amulet work well with build, or rare amulet (exampled in the first post) is better?

Can anyone explain the difference on this build setup and the ones that most "racers" do.

Both Raiz and Ziz used this setup.
A few different gems in impulsa Inc duration is the notable difference
Hypothermia in the Herald of Ice setup instead of Inc Crit Strikes
They also use Vaal Righteous Fire in a setup. How well does that work?

Is it just something they run that is easier in ssf / hc? Which one would be better for just trade league?

The biggest difference is: they don't go crit! Racers just use the innately high crit chance BV has to easily proc Elemenal Overload. The saved crit nodes can be used to get more life, speed or utility on the tree. Damage is still more than enough to clear maps though a bit on the lower end. Hence the supported Herald of Ice to shatter whole packs and leave almost no EXP behind. Not going crit also explains most of the different gems.

Increased Duration in the main setup is in part for longer blade duration which means less stopping to recast. Most of us stop every 2-3 dashes to recast BV, they only stop every 3-4 dashes. Doesn't sound like much but is huge in a race to 100. The other part is Vaal BV. Racers use it regularly to farm parts of a map that would take too much time to go through all the time (corners, rooms, over gaps). Vaal BV is a big reason BV is competitive in these races.

Vaal Righteous Fire is just 30% more damage at the press of a button. Just the perfect boost of damage to quickly kill off bosses. I run it too, so should you, it is absurd.

In summary the biggest differces can be explained by sacrificing just enough damage to still easily clear red tier maps while maximizing speed and easiness to gear. The key to both builds is the same: Inpulsa and Beacon of Ruin. In my opinion the crit version as posted in the guide is the better option as it can clear all content while still being very fast. In a trade league you should have no problem with either version.

Hi, started the build again in SC incursion race (wanted to see Cadibro again...).

And I'm a bit slower (no 6 link inpulsa is bad for this reason...), but I have a conundrum. I have just got this sceptre which seems freaking awesome for the build (TRIPLE "extra damage as", yeah baby, yeah !) and yet POB (and the tool in game) says I'll have LESS DPS with it than my previous weapon.

Any idea if this is true ? It seems really strange to me as I thought the new sceptre would be so much stronger...

My items :




The new sceptre :






And yes, I'm using Ming's Heart. Could not stand the incusion Chaos all the time. Plus cannot fund yet Elder's ring and Shaper's mark (or opposite).


And optional question not related to topic : does anyone have any idea of a price check of this scepter ?


Thanks for the build, I love BV and this build is really fun to play.

If Im not mistaken, POB dont handle these affixes with "damage of random element" very well and just dont factor them in the calculation.
You can just set the item in the POB to be "Gain 27% of Physical Damage as Extra Cold Damage" for example instead of "Random Element" and the DPS should be correct, considering you bonuses for all types of elemental damage are the same

May have been answered somewhere in the 265 pages, but is there a PoB link for this?

This is the best and funniest build i've tried as an early league starter.
Good job mate

In my opinion this build works soooo good with magic find, way mutch better than as Boss killer or endgame farming! You should add that to your Guide mate :)

If I wanted to make this into an MF build, could I swap out for bisco, sadima and goldwyrm? Or would it impact it too much?

Hey,

I'd like to know what is your strategy regarding mapping? Before because of my builds (which were fast but had problems with bosses) I mapped T8-T11 maps. Since this build good at killing bosses I have completed almost 130 maps. But now I have problem that I can play only those maps which drop. Many of them isn't interesting to play. And I noticed that bosses don't drop those +2 tier maps. They absolutely don't drop any maps.. So I have to play lower and lower maps if I want play only for my drops. For Example buy 5 Tier 14 maps. Then in those drop few 14 and other Tier 13 and lower. So it comes lower and lower.

So how you deal with this? All maps > Tier12 I chisel and alch.
