How it works

Cast while channeling is a support skill with limited use. At level 20 we get a 0.35 interval cast time for the supported spell.

Blade vortex is a spell that has a low cast time (0.5 seconds) and can be reduced even further with cast speed, thus it is usually not a good option for CWC.

Charged dash is the only channeled skill that involves some sort of movement, however due to the fact that the channeling occurs while standing still before traveling, it also has not seen much use with CWC. It is difficult to scale both an attack and a spell, and in many cases its not worth losing 2 links of damage.

When used together Charged dash CWC Blade vortex allows us to essentially keep up 10 stacks of BV all while moving from pack to pack. If for some reason the pack does not die right away, they are almost sure to die while we channel charged dash to travel to the next pack.

How to build

There are many possibilities on how to build such as poison stacking, pure phys with brutality, elemental conversion with auras such herald of ash and hatred.

I landed on occultist.
Occultist gives us very good flat ES and ES regen, Profane bloom helps round out our clear, but the real deal lies in malediction which gives us 8% of non chaos as added chaos for each curse that's on an enemy for 4 sec. To my understanding this is applied again for every type of damage conversion.

Our main links are Charged dash - cast while channeling - Blade vortex - phys to lightning - elemental focus - added fire

Hrimsorrow gloves are essential to convert the remaining 50% of Blade vortex, allowing us to get full benefit from non chaos as added chaos.

For the weapon you can use anything with decent PDPS however the best item is probably a disintegrator staff for the huge bonus it also gives to BV.

Some other good uniques are atziris promise and a transcendent mind jewel in the witch slot.

To boost your damage even further you can go for a shaper helm that gives added phys to spells, also shaped/elder rings and amulet that can give more non chaos as added chaos. for each Shaped/elder item you equip you will gain another siphoning charge which will boost your damage but will also increase the degen per siphoning charge.

You can decide on more increased damage, regen, ES, or jewel sockets.

Thankyou very much for reading
