/edit BUT STILL VIABLE




Build idea:
Stack poison bv + increased duration nodes, get 20% culling strike + extra AoE and overkill leech from ascendancy. I'm playing solo, mostly self found scrubcore due to low quality internet connection, but it's hc viable.
I managed to kill a chayula and all breach bosses for my guildmates (no splinters here, coz i'm running lab)

It can kill map bosses up to t15 (minotaur t16 too, i didn't try other t16), and carry 6 man party full key uber labs (just skip 1 key when izaro has power charges/elemental golems + 2hand weapon, or play wisely and dodge slam/ranged attack).

Required items:
Spoiler

Nothing, i'm 100% serious.
I started with 4L (Blade vortex + controlled destruction + spell echo + poison), then added increased aoe/conc effect with a garbage 5l, and later on life leech with tabula/random 6l chest. On early lvls i used warlords mark cast on dmg taken for leech and endurance charges.
here comes my gear
Spoiler

You don't need a hubris, any kind of +life+res helmet would work perfectly - it's there only for enchant. I swapped my amu and ring from random +life+resist ones at lvl ~80, coz i found +1 curse ring and witchfire brew flask.


Weapon swap movement skill setup [IMPORTANT]:
Spoiler

in uber lab i use it all the time (except argus and izaro fights, just press X before them). bv dmg is more than enough for trash, even with a brightbeak :) Quality culling strike gives us attack speed, you dont need it - just put 2nd brightbeak in ur offhand.



Leveling (DO NOT LEVEL UP AS BLADE VORTEX!):
Spoiler

lvl up with 2h physical weapons -> leap slam + sweep/added fire damage/faster attacks/melee physical damage, because your starting path sucks for a caster. Respec into blade vortex when you'll get increased duration and templar/witch nodes + any kind of spell dmg wand/dagger (dual wield > 1h + shield)

2h lvling tree


at this point u can respec into bv (remove everything below master of the arena)


Your skill tree after respec




Bandits:
Spoiler
Oak
Oak
Alira


Ascendancy:

Curses:
Assassin's mark + witchfire brew flask with 6 link
Warlord's mark without flask and 6 link.

Passive tree:

You can ask me about anything :3

It's even better than before :>
As a slayer flask generation nerf doesn't hurt you at all, and curse applies really well too. Damage is insane - chayula died in ~5 seconds, uber 6 man argus is like 10 seconds.

Is there a reason that you are getting Endless Hunger (overleech) and Vaal Pact? Wouldn't Vaal Pact prevent that?

20% of overkill dmg leeched as life works really well - especially in breach.
Instructions unclear, dick stuck in blender

halp
Got any mana leech without warlords? or just spamming the mana potion?
