Hello and welcome to my Wintertide Vortex trickster build guide!

Path of Building

3.11 Content Cleared
Awakener Lvl 8 Deathless
Final Harvest Boss

Pros/Cons
Pros


+ Great Survivability (8-10k ES, max block possible, Trickster ascendancy, stun immunity)
+ Can scale really high if you want to min-max
+ Pretty good clear speed
+ Active playstyle
+ SSF/HC/league start friendly

Cons

- Not the fastest mapper or the highest single-target but a good all-round
- Elemental Equilibrium needs to be used correctly
- CI is not for everyone



Trickster vs Occultist
Скрытый текст
Compared to Occultist we get:
Higher survivability (Higher ES, more dodge, dmg reduction)
Crazy ES regen from Patient Reaper
Slightly lower DPS


How to play/Playstyle

Скрытый текст

I usually jump into a pack and put down my brands, Vortex and Frost bomb and after that Orb of Storms to proc EE on lightning. I found it to work best but you can experiment yourself with what order works for you. With the high ES leech/regen we have this build can be played pretty aggressively and with Vaal Discipline you can run head first into large packs and pop your flasks and see everything melt.



Ascendancy & Pantheon

Patient Reaper -> Prolonged Pain -> Ghost Dance -> Escape Artist

Guide is now added!
Will add video guide + T16/conq/Sirus gameplay in a day or two.

Let me know if you have any feedback, questions etc.
Hi Memoria,

Thank you so much for the build.

Firstly, please help us check PoB https://pastebin.com/DzAyAxdq, it looks like Lvl 20 Tree is missing (currently it's tree for full build at level 93)

Secondly, could you please consider to add Leveling Section to the build (Level x get gem y link with z....something like that, it can be not details like that but some lines will really help), it will help A LOT for new and casual player (like me) to follow the build.

Thank you!

I will update POB in a couple of minutes, I missed the leveling trees and they're combined with my previous build. Leveling section will be added after my stream later tonight.

POB updated :)
Thanks a lot for the build! been waiting on a wintertide trickster build as I prefer trickster over occultist.

setting budget limitations aside, what do you think about going LL instead of CI? either with shavs or with atziri shield + coward's legacy? can make crazy aura setups happen when going LL

Will lose quite a bit ES by not having evasion on the body armour but it's doable. Not sure what aura would make up for it.

How do you leech with a cold DOT build?

Does soul thief work with wintertide and vortex? Both are DOT and doesnt hit. The other two is on kill effect and won't do anything vs boss like sirus
