[3.11] Kitava's Thirst Builds - Flame Surge/Blade Vortex - Sirus /T16 Farm

Are you gonna update skill trees for 3.7? And what would be better for Legion, the Hybrid build or the Life build?

The tree is unchanged for 3.7, except for the mana nodes behind MoM that can be replaced with Soul Siphon. PoB can convert the build easily.
Hybrid is still definitely better.

How badly does losing those 3 nodes under MoM hurt this build?

nvm you just answered the question in the above post

How important is evasion? Would just stacking Mana/Life/ES be enough without evasion?

Evasion synergises well with Ghost Shrouds, which means more ES recovery, and evasion on chest is more ES. Win-win.

On the opposite, you don't need that much ES when playing hybrid, you need to have enough to recover at 1 Ghost Shroud recovery.

Bump, Blight hyyyyype !

Oh hi! Looking at this build as a possibility for Blight, but had a few questions:

* What's the basic playstyle? Pop Orb of Storms and then Flame Surge until everything is dead?

* How important is Hyrri's Ire to the build? Are you just using it mostly for the crazy-high Evasion?

* Similarly, how important is Three-Step Assault as opposed to 30/35% MS boots?

* How are you proccing Weave the Arcane? Mostly via Flame Dash or with the CWDT-Phase Run?

Hi ! :)

- Yep, FS triggers the spells in helmet, which clear mobs and support FS.

- Lots of chests are fine for this build : Hyrri's Ire, QotF, The Perfect Form, Kintsugi, rare eva/es chests, and so on. As long as it has stong eva or eva/es stats, it's all good.

- Same. You need eva to maximize the Shrouds' recovery, but anything is fine. The only mandatory unique is the helmet, and a source of increased mana.

- With FD, which also guarantees the target is burning. Since they buffed the cooldown it's fine to use. Phase Run is just to be faster between packs, when I've spent my FD charges.

Does pledge of hands lower the trigger rate on our helm (since were getting 3 free cast)?

Yes, unfortunately it does. DPS is better, but now the build feels less comfortable when farming.
