ahh so its lvl1 blade vortex.. makes sense as your just using it for the proc. still not sure i understand the cwdt gem.. that uses blade vortex for you so you dont even have to have it on your hotbar? when i get a second 5l ill do that then and add in the cwdt:)

Yeah... sorry about that I wasn't super clear. The CWDT is simply because I am lazy/automation of the build. You could just self cast it on a 4-link if you want, or replace the CWDT with another utility gem.

Video guide is now up.

Build looks fun! Thanks for such a well written guide, seems really easy to follow! :)

Thank you for the kind words!

Update: Died stupidly doing twinned map challenges. Died to double residence dominus with vulnerability. Not sure what happened but I think I might have been clipped by the DA TOUCH OF GOD. All I know is I was insta-gibbed from full health. I have survived the DA TOUCH OF GOD before though so maybe I was hit by both simultaneously. There was a Tora mission going on in the room at the same time so it was very hard to see anything.

I was unfortunately able to test Atziri/Uber lab before I died but if anyone tries that out I would love to hear how it goes.

We just need 5 points to take acrobatics, and we can go there before taking some jewel slots, for example, or rest of scion's life wheel (oh well, not wheel anymore). We can easily use evasion only armor and it would be further defense increase, what do u think about it?

i have a 4link pledge and a 5link chest.. would my main blade vortex be better off in the 5l chest or in the 4l pledge w spell echo? im guessing in the pledge since spell echo would be wasted otherwise..... if i only use 4links any suggestions on what ones i should use? keep in mind once i do my merc lab im going to drop my aoe support and go dmg like you did. thanks.

I definitely think this is a valid option. I liked the idea of being more armor heavy with a basalt flask but after thinking about it I think adding in dodge and a jade flask might be more reliable. I definitely think it would work I just don't know how likely we are to survive the few hits that go through the dodge + evasion. I think with acrobatics I would swap Belly for Kintsugi and it could be quite tanky.

If you manage to try it out let me know! Kintsugi are like 10c unlinked on HC :)

Hey good questions. I think pledge is better than a 5-link chest since you would need spell echo in your chest anyways and the one you gain from pledge is level 30. As for links on a 4-link (assuming you have your merc lab point) I used BV-(Echo from pledge)-Added Fire-Controlled Destruction-Life Leech. The only required gems would be BV and Life leech. The rest are flexible. I would personally swap added fire for poison if you have the right colors.

See my section on links for more options :D

Hey i made a Character on Softcore with your Build and its very fun so far :)
I have a Question: Because of the written guide, the leveling section and the video guide im a little confused about what Gem Links i should use in Combination for Blade Vortex.

I currently wear a Tabula but i allready got my 5L-Pledge of Hands ready for lvl 68 so i need to know the best Combination for BV in a 5-linked Pledge.

Also why do we get Vaal Pact if we don't use a Life leech gem for Blade Vortex?

Anyways i am really enjoying this Build :)

Thanks in Advance
