Quick question that might sound stupid but I'm new to the game :)

Right now I'm level 40 using Arc to level but already have a Blade Vortex armor. Got luck and dropped a Tabula Rasa. haha

Anyway, one thing that I'm feeling its a bit bad for my gameplay style is the fact that I gotta to constatly cast my Blade Vortex to 10 stacks and I think its taking too long (right now around 0,35s with Golem up).

Is that what is expected at higher levels as well or it will get quicker? Right now I think its just much better to level using Arc since I'm killing mobs in 1 or 2 hits hits much more enemies. Blade Vortex is amazing vs bosses tho.

On higher lvl u cast 2 blades of blade vortex then just zoom into mobs, it ramps up pretty fast if u have a quick movement skill. Yeah lvling with BV aint fun i feel u.

Oh I see.

When the "end game" of POE usually starts and tbh what is the "end game"? Mapping, farming bosses, delving, etc?

@Miffy23 i noticed that you have 3 heralds and also the herald of purity as well. Do you use all 4 at once and if so, how do you have that much mana?

Enlighten 3 and not running MoM.
The Purity minions are actually worth solid gold on bosses and sometimes Delve nodes, as they just pull aggro constantly. Can also link them with Blind btw for guaranteed uptime on bosses.

I wouldn't take my setup as anything to aim for though, i'm still leveling and experimenting, planning on taking this one deeper eventually.

I was debating using Herald of Purity or Ice with Ice Bite, Hypothermia and Innervate. I know you said you prefer purity because they're tanky, but ave you tried the HOI setup, if so which do you think is more DPS?

dbl post

Another noob question.

I saw you suggested the links to each gear, for example:

Gloves: Herald of Thunder - Blind - Curse On Hit - Warlord's Mark
Helmet: Whirling Blades - Faster Attacks - Fortify (+ Blood Magic with MoM)


So basically I need a 2 blue - 1 green - 1 red Gloves AND
a 2 green - 2 red Helmet. But if I have they inverted (blue, green red on helmet, green and red on gloves) is it ok? Or I'll eventually need those specific gems on those specific slots?

As long as no gear piece has anything special like "Socketed gems are supported by ..." or something, it doesen't matter at all.

The only thing that can differ is that for instance Hrimnsorrow has a dex requirement, so getting something like 3 red is much less likely than on a rare pair of gear with a strength requirement.

You don't use the HoI+Ice Bite+Hypo+Innervate setup for DPS. You use it for clear speed and defense. This build really has no need for more DPS.

But that setup in my opinion straight up beats MoM for defense while mapping and delving and adds even more clear speed. For end-game bosses MoM will do more for your survivability.

But don't expect constant Frenzy Charges from the setup. While mapping I sit at 0-1 with this. Inpulsa will deal the killing blow most of the time. But what this does is freeze the whole screen and add the HoI explosion to the Inpulsas explosion.

I personally can't say anything about HoP performance, have not tried it yet.

I will ask my question from the last page again here: Does anyone know if it is worth stacking some increased effect of shock from Abyss jewels?

Could someone check out my equipment and point me the weakest items at the moment? I have about 200c to spare. What should I upgrade next?

Thanks in advance!

If i'm you would start to buy some shaped dagger/scepter to craft a better dagger though (I chaos spam them). Then next would be a 6L inpulsa.

Hi guys

First I want to thank DirtyDot for the work he did with this build

Need a help in setup and gem links.

I made same changes in the gem links but now I dont no what to put main hand gem link like you guys can see in gear.

Can some one give me a help please?

What can i do to reduce the clunkyness of the BV playstyle?
i have OKish gear and 6L inpulsa, damage itself isnt the problem really.

the whirling blades speed is low and the cast speed of the BV isnt that great either.
i find it hard to keep a decent amout of blades up while mapping.
also mapping feels somewhat slow, even though most packs explode.
