[3.6] Triple Herald Blade Vortex Elementalist

"

1)

I would choose ele weak, read it as an ele pen mod. If you're applying it with orb of storms, you have to choose between pcoc or arcane surge as the 4th link.

If you're considering corrupted hrimsorrows, a minimum roll spell crit corruption (+0.5 to 0.8 to base BV crit) grants more damage than a max roll ele weak corruption to both normal enemies and Shaper/Guardians (who have 80% curse resistance).

For either option to be considered, you need +1 curse from either your tree or your items (preferably a corrupted amulet).

2)

Vaal Righteous Fire grants 39% more spell damage for its duration.

Link VRF to your CWDT - IC - Increased Duration setup, both benefit from the increased duration gem. VRF needs to be of higher level than CWDT's trigger threshold or else you'll kill yourself from the normal RF degen when it's triggered (normal RF degens your life to 1 if you can't sustain it, VRF has a one time cost of 30% of your life/ES for its duration).

3)

No. This build has an estimated 50% crit chance (assuming 10 stacks of BV) with no crit mods on your items. This is sufficient as is if you have a diamond flask.

Building on this base -

+100% crit on a weapon/weapons = 57.5%
+0.7% (0.8 max) to base crit on hrimsorrows = 63%

If you need a Starkonja for the dex, it grants +25% crit.

If you're willing to invest currency -

Aul's Uprising for free Hatred + Hatred Watcher's Eye's benefits
+1.6 (1.8 max) to base crit = 74.5%

Really appreciated.

1.I'm using Herald of Thunder to proc it since the original combo was with warlord's mark so I thought this would work the same. Wouldn't it ?

2.I see. Does the burning damage given by gem's quality do anything here ?

3.Each of my wp has around 100% and nearly 40% on amulet, still I only reach 58.78 :(
Would that number be ok if I'm not using diamond flask?
Currently Having 1 divine flask, 1 atziri, 1 wise oak (3 equal resistances), 1 ToH and I find the leech from Vinktar is tremendously helpful. Don't know if it would worth the trade with diamond flask though.

Guys, recently I went full meme with this build and started to run all 5 heralds in the game. Surprisingly enough build is 100% playable, I've enough mana to cast blade vortex and regen is enough to spin me up to 10 blades, way easier while leeching of course. Purity herald actually adds some decent damage as it's flat phys and the bois can distract enemies, the herald of agony is pure meme imo.

1)

Good setup, albeit you would still need +1 curse from your tree or items and Herald of Thunder can't apply the curse if you haven't killed a shocked enemy recently (i.e. boss fights).

2)

It's negligible.

3)

Anything greater than 50 is sufficient. I mentioned a diamond flask because the less crit chance you have (assuming > 50%), the stronger its effect.

My crit chance calculations did not account for controlled destruction, sorry. You would gain 5-10% were it not one of your links.

Quick question. How could i get better survivability with this build. Currently on Depth 255 and some monster just plain and simply murder me lol (they come from invisibility and almost 1shot me, some Do 1shot me)


(Sorry i dunno how to link my build but i believe my profile is open for all to see!)

Thanks in advance, Loving the build btw!

Thanks for clearing :D
A small question: In terms of damage, Efficacy < Concentration right ? ( I assume that more area damage is a another multiplicative ? )
