[3.6] Triple Herald Blade Vortex Elementalist

What's the main effect of using 3 heralds in this build? Does the level of heralds matter to our damage much? Thanks

If Inpulsa's Broken Heart isn't going to be an option anytime soon (they are all 2ex+ on Xbox and 5 or 6 links are 10-12ex) does this make Paragon of Calamity better than Ruin? In other words, without Inpulsa, is Ruin any good?

finally i got my helm enchantment :)
any advice on what to work on next?:
also 2 other question: i have a mod on my amulet and my weapon GAIN X% to COLD DMG,
is this ok? or should i have only one item with %gain of the same element?
and where does it take all this physical dmg if im a caster?

What do you guys think about going into Force Shaper after taking whole tree. It is quite a dmg boost

Im using Vulcunous as my dagger, and singularity as my scepter, and just wondering if those are alright weapons to use until i get shaper weapons? Im currently level 82 and doing t9/10 maps just fine

Hey guys, I've been slowly working my way towards the endgame and endgame gear. Just got a 6L Inpulsa's finally and upgraded one of my daggers. I also just finished Uber Lab. The problem is, I'm feeling kinda weak. Mobs all die almost instantly, but my single target feels a bit lacking. Some map bosses and even rares take a pretty long time to die. Are my daggers trash? I'm also feeling a bit squishy, but I'm working my way towards moving myself from the two duration cluster tree to the Acrobatics tree and I'm hoping that will help. I also need more life on one of my rings.

TL;DR: I'm feeling a bit weak and was wondering what I should upgrade next. Thanks!

Vulconus is probably one of the worst weapons you can use for this build. It gives you nothing besides the crit implicit (which you could also get from any white dagger) and approximately halves your damage whenever you have Avatar of Fire (1/3 of the time). Just get a Divinarius with decent rolls for ~5c. Singularity is okayish, but Divinarius outperforms it by quite a bit as well.

Why do you have 7 free sockets and not even a CWDT setup? Herald of Thunder isn't a reliable way to apply Warlord's Mark against bosses. Orb of Storms is also a decent DPS boost for single target situations. Hypothermia is far better than Added Fire after getting Beacon of Ruin.
Your flasks are all over the place as well. You definitely don't need a second life flask or any mana flasks. A Diamond Flask is an enormous DPS boost, the same goes for Atziri's Promise. A Basalt Flask is a very cheap defensive option, which can be upgraded to Taste of Hate at some point down the line.

I had completely forgotten about all of the other gem setups and was just plowing through content as far as I could. I'm surprised I made it to T12 without any of the gems. Here's the setup now:



I'll work on recoloring my inpulsa's to socket hypothermia and getting some better flasks. Thank you so much for bringing all of the stuff I forgot about to my attention. After the new flasks and socketing hypothermia, is there anything else you could suggest?

Edit: I socketed Hypothermia and my tooltip DPS went down. Is that normal?

Herald of ash is great for out damage, but herald of ice and thunder are required for the penetration, because this build deals a mix of cold and lightning damage (without any heralds). Once you get the fact they're required out of the way, you can try to link them in interesting ways (like with curse on hit, or onslaught) or just enlighten them.

Because heralds "hit" anytime that you hit something, it's not important what herald you link to the curse on hit with warlords mark, this should be mentioned in the build.
Edit: This also means you don't need to do the thing with CWDT for bosses. This'll also save a lot of currency, since you don't need off as many off colours on the gloves, since you can just use herald of ice
