[2.5] will it work? need help

Hi

I want to do my own build but i have no experience...so... i came here too look for some help.
Just tell me what u think of it. Its just a general concept nothing more.

Im planning on making shadow with trickster asc.

main skill will be Flicker+COC+vortex

trickster have this amazing node in asc tree that makes skills like flicker and whirling blades cost no mana... so no mana needed.

as for generating frenzy -> http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Terminus_Est (dunno how to paste image with info) and blood rage.

So we jump with flicker and cast vortex every time... and i was planning on making vortex primary dmg.

So this is just theory... Is it worth looking at or should i just drop the idea?

Maybe there is better class for it to work like elementalist?

I got the idea from: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1758746
video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0ABQhsFIUo

i have the same ideia, but shavrones is bad for life :(

i havent thought about items, gems, skills and tree yet.

im just wondering is it possible to do this build.

and firstly i need to determine serveral things:

1. best class (asc tree) (pros+cons of each)
- like shadow(assasin) would be good, shadow(trickster) also... and i think witch(elementalist) any other?

2. skill tree
- starting position, nodes essential to build, any nodes that could be of great use for this etc.

3. way of getting enough frenzy charges at all times (solo bosses and groups of mobs)
- from curses?
- from items like oro's or that 2h sword i mentioned?
- from other items? i saw few items that can generate frenzy pretty good

4. the way defense needs to work
- armor/evasion
- dodge/block

5. how to life leech or maybe just life regen?

6. how to implement power charges for crits? this build would be ideal at 100% crit... we could then dont have to use multistrike with flicker instead strenghten the vortex.
- is it possible to get smth like 90%crt chance with not end game gear?

7. this build should be ES or life?

8. gems used... is 1x6L enought for this or we need 2x6L? what util skills to take? immortal call? motlen shell? others? what curses and auras? golems? heralds?

9. could this build do things like shaper, uber lab etc?

those are basic stuff i need help with and was hoping some ppl can help with ideas.
like recommend smth and write why. so i can summarise opinions and maybe think of smth :)

i started playing poe around 2-3 months ago and i dont know lot of stuff so i was hoping for ideas

1. i determined that the only class could be shadow with assasin asc nodes to cap or near cap crit chance.

3. just from sword...

7. 1st life then ES with CI or mix


rest later...

I did a Terminus Est Flicker Assassin in Essence league. I used COC with Blade Vortex and it was pretty decent (damage was good, just squishy like a shadow, though the blades really help with leech)
And it's both scaled by physical damage. Not sure what it's like now after the changes to BV.
It's my favorite build now, hold right mouse button, smash flasks, get stopped by volatile. But that's the only thing that stops you.

If you are going for Vortex I'd rather use Oro so you can scale elemental damage only.

What about going elementalist with cast on crit vortex using a Oro's Sacrifice instead?

Maybe this?

Like with all 5% base crit weapons you will have a hard time getting it anywhere near 95% with any class except Shadow. Elementalist Flicker ist ok, just not Ele COC.

Actually I've tweaked it a bit I think this works better.

Just find maximum power charge corruption on your gear + get crit chance in your jewels and I think you should be okay for the most part. Perhaps even that +crit chance -crit multi amulet.

Low-life shav

Flicker+COC+BloodMagic+IncreasedCrit+FasterAttacks+ElementalFocus

Now I'm not sure if you could leech of vortex but whatever you can leech of of I would suggest looking for a cold/fire leech enchant + a doryani's invitation cold/fire belt to fuel the blood magic

Shavronne's Ring for ES Regen

All in all, it's doable but would probably take an unnecessary amount of investments to make an inefficient build viable.

You missed something. You have 6 links, but none of it is Vortex.
You can leech cold damage from the initial Vortex hit, but not from the degen.
