[2.5] CI/LL Blight CwC Poison Vortex over 2M DPS Trivialize all content [Tri-Curse/HC Viable]

Hey. Thanks for nice build. Could you make LL tree to show us what changes there with shav's and skyforts.

" There are some solid reasons to play this over firestorm. 1. The survivability is IMMENSE. Blight slow + curses + leech (with vaal pact!) and endurance charges from WM + vortex chilling effect + fortify are an absurd mix of defensive tools. 2. The damage scales A LOT, because the unique modifier of Vortex (and Essence drain) makes spell damage double dip with poison + ignite. And you have 2 skills which make damage simultaneously (blight + vortex) with a fantastic ramp-up. 3. Double conversion builds are insane. You have a lot of factors doing damage with this character: - Blight - Vortex initial hit (chaos) - Poison from Vortex chaos hit damage - Vortex initial hit (fire) - Ignite from Vortex fire hit damage - Vortex damage over time component (cold) This makes nodes like snowforged or keystones like elemental overload shine. Duration nodes scale a LOT and are a noticeable upgrade in boss fights. @DisturbedDuck: Skyforths are absolutely not required for this build, because it's not a crit build. |

can anyone take a look at my occulist and let me know what I can upgrade next, and what should be priority?
I tried doing Minotaur and couldn't do it. I had like zero damage on him and he slapped the crap out of me. Last edited by decyphier#2206 on Feb 22, 2017, 7:55:39 PM

With the upcoming nerf to Pyre, this build is going to lose a lot of potential, sadly.

PYRE NERF
Blight - CwC - Vortex - Controlled Destruction - Inc AoE/Conc Effect - Void Manipulation how about Blight - CwC - Vortex - Controlled Destruction - Inc AoE/Conc Effect - cold to fire ? or is it stupid? Last edited by ruzga#5270 on Feb 23, 2017, 12:37:37 AM

" No, it's right. But the loss of void manipulation is a huge factor for both blight and the chaos component of vortex: you are removing a fully double dipping gem for another which does not double dip with poison. The damage loss is high. |

It's unlikely that Pyre will go below 50% conversion. You will just have to wear 2 instead of 1. I believe we will still get one last league of fun before ignite and poison get erased from being relevant in 3.0.

" I've put both builds into path of building to compare and firestorm dps far outstrips it. Most of the stuff you mention like ignite, cold DoT, blight only adds a fraction of damage compared to the main source which is poison (as with all double dipping builds). Firestorm has a lower initial hit and lower poison tick but it's able to put on way more poison stacks per second. But I guess the extra slows from blight and vortex are better for survivability to make up for the damage loss. Oh well, with the pyre nerf I guess it makes my decision to try firestorm over this next league a bit easier anyway. |

How about using a Heretic's Veil Helmet?

Hello,
Returning player here, thinking of respeccing my lvl85 witch into this build. Got some basic questions, excuse my ignorance. Is this really viable on a 5L? If it is, what would you drop, and how impactful would be the loss? Is the upcoming nerf on Pyre a good reason to completely avoid this build? How exactly Elemental Overload works with skills like Vortex and Blight? |
