I think Frenzy is probably the better choice for the more damage and attack speed, but we don't really have ways to keep either up against a boss, and this build does so much damage even without charges. Between the tree, 3 natural charges, and a Diamond Flask, I think we can get a pretty effective capped crit chance as it is.	Posted by nEgativezEro89 on Dec 5, 2016, 10:07:09 AM Quote this Post

So I took the passive point. One charge wasn't going to make much of a difference on map clearing. However, if you really don't want a passive point, definitely grab the frenzy charge.

I really loved this build for essence and want to try out BF for the new league and follow a similar setup here They already nerfed it, the details are in the patch notes. Still should be quite powerful even with the nerf as we all knew it wouldn't stay tuned the way it is. Wow genius. I made that post before those patch notes were released. I mentioned that people knew that there would be a nerf forthcoming as soon as the skill was released based on how it worked in Standard. Glad to see my ability to hurt feelings is still finely tuned.	Posted by 13isLucky on Dec 5, 2016, 1:37:34 PM Quote this Post
" Patchumz wrote: So here's my current setup running maps with Blade Flurry. Extremely smooth, very survivable with Vaal Pact. I even did Xoph in his breach and that went just fine. The only scary part is the floor is basically entirely lava when you get deep into the fight. My passive tree. http://poeurl.com/TY6 So far so good. EDIT: I should mention, I've tested Doryani's Catalyst and for Blade Flurry it's just not worth using. You want the extra attack speed from a sword and you'll get more DPS out of it in general. EDIT2: I retested. Blade Flurry's tooltip is wrong. Ignore both the average damage and attack speed when factoring in stat sticks. Depressingly. I wish tooltips weren't wrong 9/10 times. Definitely grab Doryani when you can. Two questions for you - currently progressing with this build as well. Do you think increased critical strikes is better than added lightning damage for 5L BF? ICC takes a lot away from tooltip compared to AL (I know TT isn't everything) just curious. Also - you're using anger instead of wrath - is that just personal preference, or is anger better dmg? Cheers.	Posted by Balllllller on Dec 5, 2016, 11:35:22 PM Quote this Post
What's the best 5L for Blade Flurry? BF > WeD > Crit Strikes > Incr AoE > Added Lightning? Or replace one with FA?	Posted by Jarmanuel on Dec 6, 2016, 4:23:06 AM Quote this Post

Cheers. Yes, go with ICC. Once you have Inevitable Judgment, all your critical strikes ignore enemy resistances. While your tooltip DPS may be higher with added lightning, remember that they are resisting a lot of that damage more often. " Jarmanuel wrote: What's the best 5L for Blade Flurry?

The more attack speed you have the quicker you hit 6 charges and deal much higher damage. APS doesn't show up on the tooltip, but you sure as heck can feel it in practice.

Cheers. Yes, ICC is much better. Chances are your foil won't have high base crit, the flat crit from ICC really helps with that. Plus crit just synergizes so much better, as stated by nEgativezEro89. And I'm only using Anger because it doesn't have 155 int requirement. They are functionally identical if you're not stacking heavy extra lightning. El Psy Congroo.

Tooltip dps in 2016 LUL. Use Path of Building app to simulate DPS BF > WeD > Crit Strikes > Incr AoE > Added Lightning is good choice Spoiler I like 155 int so I can level 10 int gems for sale. Discipline 21 is pretty neat Last edited by ActiveSlay on Dec 6, 2016, 3:57:52 PM	Posted by ActiveSlay on Dec 6, 2016, 3:55:06 PM Banned Quote this Post
After playing this build for 90% of Essence league, I thought I'd try out the physical version. Have to say, it feels terrible. I think its much easier to go CI on that side of the tree, but the skill doesn't feel well as physical. And besides, the pack shatters are so sexy. I'm going to reroll Inquisitor.
