Chest:


Helmet:


Gloves:


Boots:

*I preferred Innervate over Added Lightning since it also applies to heralds
**Ice bite for Frenzy charges - can Swap for Increased Area of Effect

Dagger:

*Can swap portal with Quality Culling Strike or Forifty - your preference

Shield:

*Can run any golem - Lightning is probably best

Blade vortex?
Yep! You can make a map boss setup on a 4L easy, and with elder/shaper helmet bases a 6L is just as possible.
Links that help damage: Empower - Controlled Destruction - Concentrated Effect - Physical Damage to Lightning
Links for QoL: Increased Duration

Ice bite on Abberath's?
Frenzy Charges! You wouldn't think it but you can sustain them through a map even while maintaining blade vortex

... and Innervate?
You can choose to run Added Lightning Damage, but the Innervate buff is global - it applies to heralds, choir lightning bolt, and Abberath's

Why use Arcane Surge on Blade vortex?
Well, we don't really want to kill the mobs with this - it's more of a benefit for safety and buffing our other skills (Spell damage does not apply to Heralds!), the other benefits are QoL - you can substitute *Power Charge on Critical Strike if you can't get a ring with Curse on Hit!

Why low life?
We needed some way to scale our damage heralds which would increase their reservation (which is why they are both a 5l) while also being able to use all 3 :D that meant reserving life for Herald of Ash which wouldn't be possible being life based. The final aura was a no-brainer, Discipline - duh!

*You can however omit Herald of Ash completely - which would allow you to go life based

Leveling
Скрытый текст
Get Abberath's at level 12, and use all 3 heralds as soon as you get
(Dual wield Axiom Perpetuum or The Screaming Eagle)

Then setup a 4l or 6l blade vortex and you should be good to go until blood aquaducts

Can swap over to Low life as soon as you reach 69, but would wait till 75-80

If you can't run herald of ash and discipline on life without enlighten 3, you can grab the mana reservation nodes by ranger (5 points)

Hey I've made this build following your directions. It's a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to seeing how it works at higher levels (when I actually have gear and gem links setup properly).
