[ESC]2.4 CI Blade Vortex Pathfinder, different. Shaper, Uber and Vaal temple down Update: HoG down

Hey guys, this is my first guide/build; so be nice

First of all my skilltree, i will outline some important choices i made:
Take all the flask nodes asap, before or after CI doesn't really matter.
Arcane Chemistry, and Druidic rite are very important, then take Alchemist, you want to stack reduced flask charges for Vinktar and Kiara, in combination with duration and the effect of chalice, you will get permaflasked.

After that, Vaal Pact with CI and Ghost reaver, spec in important ES nodes and some Damage and Crit here.
Some aura nodes and Mana/Mana regen are also important, since Reduced Mana -> More Mana to cast.

Bandits are: Kill, Kill, Alira. Or if you want you can take in Cruel Physical Damage or cast speed. But I will do that, if/when i hit next level, since my tree is completed at level 94. Everything else is optional.

Ascendancy is obviously Pathfinder. Master Surgeon makes this build what it is. In Merciless I took the Master Herbalist, and then Nature's Boon.
I wouldn't recommend this anymore, since Nature's Boon is too good to not pick up. Therefore we have three optional choices later on, which don't really matter. Since I am running a Grounding Flask + Kiara, i am fine without Master Alchemist, if i should respec later and change my flaks setup, i will propably pick Master Alchemist.
Damage on Poison immune Guardians is just fine, that's why I am thinking of a latter respec.


Jewels

As seen in the skilltree, Phys, area damage, ES, Spell damage (with shield); Crit Multi global or for spells, for mapping is cast speed fine, since it makes it a bit smoother.
1 Energy from within, try to buy one with max roll.
You shouldn't roll jewels unless you are fine with rolling cast speed.
Base is Cobalt, i like it.
Here are my current jewels, well i can't link them from my skill tree, just look at the skill tree, should be enough.


gear


flasks

this is my setup for everyday mapping: Max roll ToH bought for 6.5 ex, later Brodiro sold me one for 8500 coins. Phys conversion Vinktar for 7 ex should be lower now, I think.
Kiara is Anti stun, freeze and curse, which is nice, but hard to sustain.
NEVER ever roll surgeon's on your other utility flasks, this is a waste of a mod, i got alchemist on Quicksilver so you run even faster. try to get 30% but it will be very expensive.


For hard bosses, and i don't mean T15 Kaom or something like that, i mean really hard bosses where you need flask sustain (Shaper, Uber Atziri, Vaal Temple, Some guardians, Core Malachai) swap in
instead of


For some Fire Damage bosses, mainly Phoenix and Uber Atziri swap in a Ruby's flask, i am using this because i like it very much


For budget, consider the usual flasks,
is awesome, but i can't find a spot for it anymore. I used it in the early stages lvl 70-80 tho.

y u no rumi!!1111!!

Well Vinktar is your lifeline, you only need vinktar permanently up, everything else is bonus.
The other flasks are for me much more important, i can't drop Kiara's in any case. ToH is awesome for what it is. My Diamond flask provides anti shock which is nice. And i need chalice for bosses.
I will try it when i consider bricking some sets to Hall of Grandmasters tho.



Helmet


Nothing special. Got a nice Helmet enchant, for which i settled. I am quite happy with it. Best would be Inc Duration on BV but faster movement is fine too. I used Whirling Blades until i got this enchant.


Weapon

for everything fine af. Did all guardians with it, went very smooth, until i crafted this baby.
After that i tried shaper and it went pretty good. Died to Rigwurst, but well i don't really like Rigwurst so. Ah Shaper killed me two times (stupid balls).

After that, i got a deathless run, which i am happy with.


shield

some crappy ES, bit mana regen, if you want spell damage and spell crit, but this one was budget, i think 5-20c


body

bought it for 9ex one or two weeks into the league. coloring was easy, since i need 5 blues. Farmed uber lab with my second toon for the currency. I wouldn't recommend farming lab now since it isn't worth anymore


gloves

Get resists on it, 30% movement speed, and then ES, pretty basic.

I farmed those glove enchants, took 3 tries i think, Boots enchant either Leech, or attack and cast speed. Whichever you hit first, or whichever you prefer.


rings

Resists, mana or manaregen, with bit ES, mastercraft Inc ES%, Use blessed Orbs to hit 30% on a diamond ring, and divine until %ES is high enough, i did 16+


amulet

paid 20c, mastercrafted Inc ES% again, and divined it two times. Preeeeety happy with it, until then is
just fine


belt

Top roll reduced flask charges is mandatory, then craft increased flask duration on it. I paid 1c for it and crafted it and called it a day





why no LL

well I didn't had the monies. And i like more ES moar. AND Chaos Immunity is so neat.


why no skyforth

Well i decided to blow money on my 15 ex flasks first, when i decided to change it. Well the flasks stayed the same while skyforth skyrocketed from 20ex to 45+ex
NEVER LUCKY indeed


Map mods

Well absolutely no go is Blood magic, then cannot leech and then phys reflect. Ele ref is with Hatred still fine. Less regen should also be fine. All curses are fine. You should get overcapped on fire res, Cold and lightning res is more or less meh, since it is fine to just be capped on both, and on Ele Weakness map you should be permapotting anyways.


Dangerous maps

I think racecourse is very dangerous because of the reflect aura, otherwise Lair and dark forest are cancer, since Rigwurst is just broken. Core Malachai still hits like a truck, even harder than all T16 guardians. Get a ruby for phoenix, and be careful of chimera since you have to chase him.

Shaper is usually fine. Uber is also ok, trio and trash are arguably the hardest.

I wouldn't recommend farming Uber lab with this toon, while i get a good time on my first and only blind try, the spikes are way too dangerous and not worth at all. There are much safer characters that handle Izaro and the traps. Well the traps are the only problem.


some other stuff

Get hatred, discipline on max level, then sub in a clarity, currently at level 12, when i buy an Enlighten, I will level it even more. Standard setup to use, i use shield charge and flame dash as movement skills.


Some final words, Pictures will get uploaded when this thread recieves some attention, videos if it recieves lots of attention. Which I doubt will happen both.
If you have questions regarding my choices, feel free to ask, i will do some hard stuff to reroll this into something new.

Last challenge is Malachai core, i am missing 11 kills on this sneaky abomination.

The rest will get updated asap. Stay tuned and happy :)

Stay safe and love your Anus as I do.

bump, if more space is needed
What is the budget option can be used to flask? Curency very, very little, because that is not present flask, because no flask to conduct content.
Yes, you only need Vinktar and for bosses overflowing chalice.
If you can buy a non-conversion one for 1 exalted, you can make this a budget build.
Just sub in phys to lightning and you should be all good to go to do atleast content up to t15 maps.

Maybe get a cheap 5-Link for the start to get your ES going.

If you want i could donate you some currency. League is over for me anyways and if I would play I could make the currency in less than an hour.

I don't play standard so i don't care if stuff rips to it eventually.
just so you know, you have to link your character's skill tree in order for us to see the jewels, we can't see them when you link a generic game skill tree

Ye I see, don't know how to do this, does this work?

My jewels are pretty bad by itself. Just some 1-5c jewels to get 1 or 2 good mods.
Everything except flasks and chest are budget, tried to get it all under 1 ex and then I mastercrafted %inc ES
