[2.5] Burning Vortex Build - Double Degen Tank Elementalist - Shaper Viable - HC or SC

"

Also do you think this build is viable for atziri, uber atziri, and/or shaper?

Hey the build in it's basic form isn't really suited for Atziri since she can't be ignited, as for the Shaper I am currently working my way towards finding that out for certain so I can't say for sure right now since I haven't actually done it (only 2 Guardian's done so far).

If we replaced the chance to ignite gem with something else that would really be the only necessary change right? I'm probably missing something major

If you wanted to kill her with just the Vortex ground degen and Flameblast that is an option, I just meant it isn't an ideal boss for the build to be farming.
When I fought Argus in uber lab (also can't be ignited) I made my Vortex 5 link as follows.
1.Vortex, 2.Elemental Focus, 3.Conc Effect, 4.Iron Will, 5.Controlled Destruction and a 6th link could be Increased Duration, Empower or some other support you would like. I also use Frost Bomb on tankier monster's to lower there cold resist.

Hopefully this help's or answer's your question better but let me know if you have any other specific question's or scenario's you want more information on, it help's me make the guide alot better.

Any thoughts on using Cospri's Will as the chest piece?

Been thinking that might be a good way to get the dual curse setup going, as well as add a decent dps boost/a lot of armor.

You miss out on life and radius, but it might be worth it.

Hey I thought the chest piece was amazing at first also, Unfortunately the chest is Evasion/Dex based which would make getting the right colour's very hard (build require's 4 Blue and 1 Red socket atleast). If you did put the extra investment in to chroming 6 off colour's then it could be a good alternative.

Oh good call, that's a brutal roll for a 183 dex required item.

The dex would also suck to get, though we pass by a few 30 dex nodes.

I just updated the video section with a Lair of the Hydra boss fight, I hopefully will upload more guardian fight's soon.

I just freaking love the new micro transaction so I wanna do this build with everything lol.

I just respecced a standard character to it and bought some more gear. Still don't have any jewels.



I was trying to get three off color on my help and got a perfect colors for foir off lol wtf.

Decent gear right now. Need gem levels for lot of stuff Probably gonna get my jewels and flasks sorted out and then start corrupting ammy for 1 curse and then buy gear to flesh out resists that I'll probably lose from my ammy. Or just get resists on jewels.

This build is surprisingly good for how little damage is speed on the tree. I'm clearing really fast and even bosses are going down quick.

The new mtx is really cool looking but I think it's sending me blind lol.
I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the build, as you get more level's and quality on your gem's the DPS will get much higher still.

Also give Decoy Totem a try it's really good for getting a boss to stand still for a fully charged Flameblast, I started with Enduring Cry but have found Decoy much better.

Good thought. Right now a level 7 flame blast is doing nothing so there's no need but I will probably switch once it's leveled. I find more regeneration to be helpful for running the lab though I'd I get hit by traps
