Blade Vortex won't apply poison on it's own, you would have to use something like whirling blades or shield charge to get the targets bleeding (30% chance) before Blade Vortex would have 40% chance to poison.

Whereas if you use the poison gem you get 100% chance to poison, that's 60% more poison damage and it doesn't require hitting with a melee attack. The quality of life you get from poison is huge, much better than added fire or crit multi.

Wait what...i thought my BV does aplly poison if i have toxic delivery...DERP...but why it doesnt apply? it says on attack i aplly poison so for 5L il go something like

bv-spell echo-faster casting-added fire-poison? becuz i have divinarius and carcass and 6nodes in aoe so i dont need increased aoe

Also for ratpith shield i can afford it but is it worth for me to buy it if i cant afford rumi flask? should i just buy then either armour or es shield for more survival or es shield for dps

In HC I would go with a nice tanky shield if you can't get Rathpith + Rumi's, or a high evasion shield and use Basalt + Granite to cover the physical mitigation. Lioneye's Remorse would be okay to start with, Rumi's + Rathpith does help a lot against reflect, molten shell and thorns but if you play safe you should be okay.

Noxious Strike does allow BV to poison but only if a target is bleeding already from something else, BV can't apply bleeding because it is a spell not an attack:

Attacks have 30% chance to cause Bleeding

40% chance to Poison on Hit against Bleeding Enemies

Oh and for the 5L the best will be: BV + Echo + AoE + Controlled Destruction + Poison.

Okay thanks but il swap out aoe for added fire dmg becuz i really dont need that huge aoe its overkill imo im running now without aoe and doing fine also faster casting replacing with controled destruction is it worth? i thought getting 20 blades was most important thing

made the change yesterday. I dropped Added fire for poison. My tooltip dps dropped for about 18K.. was a bit concerned. But after running a few labs and atziri runs.. That stuff melts bosses. I can easily tank the trio. and Atziri is 1 shot.

atm running BV - Psn-Spell echo -CD-Inc crit dmg - IAoE/CE

at first sight.. 14K dps in town looks very low. but clearing maps with full charges get up to 68K. Vs bosses, with CE and fully buffed tops to 149K. X 20blades. that's about 3mil dps. Without counting psn and Vulnerability. Nerfed comparing to 50 stacks it used to have but still op.

The only downside to you build I found so far is 0 life reg. Most of the time is no issue, but doing lab sometimes I run out of pots and die to those fking traps. I always have to remember swapping between Rumi and an extra hp flask.

E: 3 party corrupted Temple with vulnerability and enfeeble.. rip at boss. prob shouldn't have tank him.

No all you need for pack clearing in maps is between 6-12 stacks it's only against bosses that you need to get to 20 stacks, sometimes you doing even need conc effect - just depends on how much damage you have.

A good idea in ESC is to buy 20/20 corrupted BV, they are only like 5c or less, not sure what the prices are in EHC - they seem to be about 9c, which is a bit higher considering the different Ex:C ratio.

Is pretty hard to get those off colours. maybe reconsider the links or wait until you get a 6L so it would worth the chrome investment.

You can also use a Carcass with psn gem. I've done high tied with hexproof with no problems.
