Can you use CI for this build?

" Hey I think CI will work fine, if you look at the tree section my current Essence Standard character would be the best starting point for CI I think. I'm not sure if a block version would be best or not but a variation with CI is definately viable. IGN - @Smokntumbleweed ~ Streaming @ twitch.tv/smokintumbleweed

Hello, I have a question. If vortex deals fire damage, elemental equilibrium will activate and give +25% fire resist, and -50% other resists. The other resist is like cold, but vortex deals fire, not cold. I am understanding wrong?
Thanks, I am trying this build, already buying all the items. |

" Hey Vortex will hit for fire damage making them +25% fire resist, then Orb of Storms will hit and make them -50% Fire and Cold Resist, which then makes the Fire/Burn part of Vortex deal more damage, along with the Cold ground degen effect of Vortex. If you apply a damage curse like elemental weakness with Orb of Storm then this effect is almost doubled. Glad to hear you are trying the build I hope it's doing good for you :D if you have any more question's feel free to ask.

In addition to the person above me. I still don't quite get the concept of Elemental Equilibrium.
For example, you cast Orb of Storms (OoS) and they got -50 fire/cold resi. Now you hit them with Vortex (Fire), therefore massive inital damage BUT your ignite has to penetrate the resulting +50 resi which is for me counter-intuitive because you scale the ignite/burning damage. Same goes if you don't cast OoS which happens quite often because of the CD of OoS. | |
" Orb of Storms has no cool down time, it can be cast whenever you wan't and pulses for 10 second's always keeping monster's at -50% cold and fire resist except for less than maybe half a second when I hit with Vortex or Flameblast(Orb of Storms will keep pulsing and put them back to -50%). Most White monster's will get 1 shot even if i don't cast Orb of Storm's and they have +25% fire resist, Rare or Tankier monster's is where Ele Equilibrium will be significant for damage.

Hey guys, I'm giving this build a try on EHC, seems to be working fine so far. I'm just wondering what I should invest my money in next. I'm still really squishy because im still using a tabula rasa but it's not too bad. I only have about 25chaos available.
Oh you should be able to see my character profile thing, thank you for the build btw it's been fun. | |
" Hey dude I think you should try and get a basic 5 link rare chest, setup a 4 link flameblast seperate from your vortex on glove's, boots or helm. A Carcass Jack would be good to obtain as your first big purchase. Rathpith Globe would be the second item. Doryani's Catalyst the third item (If you choose this over Dark Seer Sceptre) If you do choose to use a Dark Seer then I would possibly buy this second if you can obtain a decent rolled one cheap.
