[3.6] Triple Herald Blade Vortex Elementalist

@ Sir_I_exist : to be fair, I'm wondering the same things. But the Lightning Golem seems very underwhelming to me, to the point I do not resummon it very often (and I do not really feel the difference in fact). And I'd like to use another gem (and Increased duration might also go) but dunno what yet and I prefer to play rather than look. Any idea welcome.

Sir_I_Exist a écrit :

Thoughts on swapping the increased duration gem in the cwdt/warlords mark/immortal call setup with lightning golem? I really hate having to constantly resummom the golem and the endurance charge generation on this setup is good enough that I cant see how the extra ~74% from a 20/20 increased duration gem (which ends up only being about (.03s) if my math is correct...whereas 3 endurance charges (Btw I use inspirational leap gem to take the charges on kill node) gives you something like 400% increased duration at level 14 of immortal call.

Just wondering if any of you have ditched the Inc. Duration gem in the cwdt/immortal call setup and if so, how it went. Is the increased duration gem there to lengthen the time of warlords mark?

If you check "Gear" and "Skill tree" sections he actually uses CWDT with the golem. I think the "Gem" section is outdated, although he mentions it "Link golem to CWDT to have it automatically resummoned."

Hey guy's im currently level 90 in new league and i started struggling a bit. Till level 90 i felt like im unbeatable but now it changed. Any advice how to improve? Slowely want to get to the endbosses aswell.

I tried Uber on t5 but it is hard aswell.

Looking for advice :)

Defence:

fire 134
cold 127
lightning 122
cold -49


offence:

BV crit chance: 45%
BV crit mult: 414

why do you not take Elemental equil? because we use all 3 elements all the time it gives -25% res to all enemys to all Elements

Also its just 1 skillpoint

Two Questions:



What will be the next upgrade?



I wonder which offhand will perform better. One has more "shaper damage", the other spellcrit and Ele Damage.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hey guys.

I want to share my experience with this build.

For the first time a played a league since the start, and now I'm 36 and got the incursion portal. With this build, I did all the content of the game, except Uber elder. Some hard content with 2 or 3 deaths, but elder can't deplete his health bar to 80 %.

Thank u for the amazing guide, made my incursion experience awesome!

You forgot to mention that this build requires Automaton herald MTX for Herald of Thunder. Because giant void lazor beams from the sky deal more damage than silly lightning strikes.

That's just science, can't argue against it.

Thoughts on Heartbreaker Royal Skean as a weapon of choice? Does Culling Strike have a huge impact on overall damage?

Wanted to share my own take on this build which is an infinite-chaining, Tri-herald BV Elementalist. Just hit lv95 in Flashback and it was relatively smooth-sailing, save for the occasions where my computer freezes/crashes from the huge HoI + inpulsa chains which inadvertently led to most of my deaths to on-death effects such as volatiles or corrupting blood killing me in 0.1s due to all the instantaneous stacks from killing multiple screens of mobs at once.




It seems that I am unable to link my gear properly so I'll just have have to type it out. The build focuses on The Pandemonius + Call of the Brotherhood + HoI supported with Innervate/Added Lightning to infinitely propagate the explosions of Inpulsa's and HoI. Berek's Grip serves as an additional source of leech on top of Warlord's Mark and Atziri's Promise and is extremely reliable even on bosses due to Elementalist ascendancy which guarantees shock. (Yoke of Suffering + The Taming is a more offensive alternative to ensure even more consistent chaining of explosions but you sacrifice defences) The rest of the slots are mostly for MF since there aren't many mods that BV can benefit from so we use a Sadima's and Goldwyrm. Next, Bisco's Leash serves as a poor-man's headhunter and more MF. Finally, Esh's mirror is another piece of gear which goes insanely well with the momentum-based playstyle coupled with Rampage mechanics from Bisco's. We lack flat life on gear so try to aim for a high life-roll inpulsa's, Esh's mirror and Starkonja's or replace some of the jewels for flat life abyss jewels. This char is way-overcapped on resistances (ard 92-118% uncapped on each element which is the way I like it to feel safe in ele weakness red maps) and has a good balance of clear-speed, MF and bossing prowess. Flasks are the standard Divine life flask of staunching, Divination Distillate (or Taste of Hate/Basalt flask of Heat), Atziri's Promise, Sulphur Flask of Warding and Alchemist's Quicksilver Flask of Adrenaline.

It started as quite a memey all-uniques sort of build (as I was sick of min-maxing rare gear) and an alternative to the Three Dragons + cold to fire support gem but it turned out to be legit with insane defences (blind/chill from Pandemonius, Acrobatics/Phase Acrobatics, Perm freeze, high leech) and very respectable damage.

I use a brightbeak almost all the time and only swap out a few pieces of gear and jewels for guardians and shaper.

Gear for Guardians/Shaper:


All-in-all a very well-rounded build and really glad that I gave it a shot in this race league.

After 3 Shaper set, I finally able to kill the end game boss, Uber Elder. It could be deathless if I didn't rush to kill Elder at the end of the fight. (Sorry for the low quality of the image, I play on a potato laptop.)

Thank you so much for the fun build. I will definitely go with Ele BV in the new league.
