Hello, can you add a something like a leveling tree?
It will be a little bit more friendly guide for new to SS BF/BB
Thanks you :)

I forgot about the leveling tree set up, i will have it up tomorrow

Thx, and if you can do, i wish to see a leveling items, thats should be a good idea. but it's up to you :)

Started this build yesterday after deciding to ditch a failed one, and so far, it has been a blast to play with it. Went from the end of A10 straight to T10's, it's really good. Just got a few questions:

1. Is there anything we can do to deal with the vine mechanic from Maven fights/Rituals? I'm often simply stuck in the ground while trying to dash away from stuff, not realizing that I have no mana to actually dash away, because I must attack nonstop to regen life.

2. Talking about Dash, is it absolutely necessary? I was thinking about using Flame Dash, mostly because I'm already used to it after countless leagues. Cast speed might be an issue, but that could be fixed with a few upgrades.

3. Do we have a general order of upgrades? I know there are the big ones (tailwind/cdr boot, explodey chest), but I feel like there are tons of upgrades to be done before that.

#edit

Noticing now that the Xopec mod on ring is kinda mandatory ("the non-channeling skills have #- to total mana cost" mod). That would leave Frenzy on a 5 mana cost, and Flame Dash on a 9 mana cost (at the level I'm at), which would give me tons of space to actually dodge with the movement skill.

I made my league start with your build and it was perfect. I really love spellslinger blade blast.So thank you for the build.

Actually, here is my gear



I'm working on my chest for elemental res and spell crit chance and I'm trying to craft boots with cooldown recovery, life and movement speed.

I have 6 Exa and I don't know what could be my next upgrade.

Thanks for sharing this insane build. I got a question that why we need lvl 20 spell cascade? lvl 1 will grant us 25 less area effect (but 16 less in 20 lvl) and I believe that's what we NEED (like concentrate support).

There's a jewel replica conqueror's efficiency that gives the same -9 to non-channeling. Yep its jewel socket,but its cheap and helps with mana sustain.

Have added a few pob to lead up to finishing act 10

As for leveling items, tbh we just need a poet's pen, everything else isnt really a huge change except snakebite which is part of the build
We actually dont really want a 6 link early because spellslinger has high mana reservation early levels

Oh yes the -mana cost mod is pretty important, else you gotta need to have more free mana + an enduring mana flask to ensure you have the mana to dash. With 1 or 2 of the -mana cost mod, frenzy would cost literally no mana(crafted mod btw, unveil elreon rings), dashing will never be an issue


I am actually a fan of flame dash, not just because of MTX but because flame dash has better control on the movement(it doesnt move a fixed distance unlike dash). Also, flame dash is less prone to double dashing since we dont push too much cast speed here.
However, dash is more efficient to move fast while mapping because we can close to spam it constantly. This is honestly a personal preference. I would vorici a 4 socket item slot that i finalized to be in my build to be able to make a white socket to swap flame dash/dash in and out depending on situation

Upgrade priority really depends on the player. Personally i would go for bottled faith before any of the influenced special items because more will be available in the market as the league progresses, however, bottled faith always goes up in price and hover around 10-20 ex.
Once again it depends on budget and how the market prices move, because prices of items changes every league except some staple items like HH

I would reset the level of all your support gems for the 20% quality

Blade blast without quality is pretty meh, i recommend leveling off slot 6 blade blast and trying to make a 21/20 corrupted or better. This drastically improves dps

Keep blade fall without quality, maybe snipe some 21/0 ones off the trade


I would focus on getting either bottled faith or awakened spell cascade

Tbh, bladefall's main purpose is dropping blades no doubt. However, it still does a decent amount of damage. A level 1 spellcascade has -40% damage, lvl 20 has -21%. Versus a -25% and -16% aoe, ill still keep the damage, since the overlaps are already pretty decent considering the amount of blades we generate

Question: Why do you recommend AOE corrupt on Poets Pen when we don't want AOE on Spell Cascade or Bladefall ?

The aoe is global, it affects everything you have, that means it applies to blade blast too. Not a loss because it doesnt technically impact the overlaps, but it does increase clear speed. Also the base implicit does nothing

Reached a point where I've got a comfortable 5k hp and tons of damage.



I payed special attention to the gems. Saw that auras were sitting with an empty socket in shield, so I put my flame dash setup there and move the auras to the helmet, alongside the wither-spell totem.

Next obvious upgrade would be Tailwind/CDR boots, a 6L chest with some juicy influenced mods, the Despair gloves, the PP inc. AoE corruption, and then, just level to grab the last nodes on the passive tree. Dunno if I can even find suitable upgrades for anything else (like belt, helmet or rings), as my resistances are almost in the brink of being fucked. If one piece moves, I'll have to move something else.

Damage is actually insane, but our damage taken is also kinda insane. This build definitely isn't for the faint of heart, as you're usually walking through packs and your HP suddenly drops to really, really low (something below 1000) only to recover it to full in the next 0.5s because of the life gain on spell hit. It's a real rollercoaster.

Kinda wished we had more ways to amp up our defenses. Being a glass cannon with tons of ways of avoiding attacks is fun, but sometimes I legit just wanna relax while playing it haha

1 question about the harvest weapon enchant that modifies quality to give AoE: is it global? Would it work with Blade Blast's AoE?

#edit

holy shit, this happened



so, +1 curse chest is kinda obligatory now, right?
