[2.5] CHEAP Elemental Blade Flurry Inquisitor (clears whole atlas, uber, atziri, shaper, guardian)
" I leveled with cleave -> sunder -> blade flurry as soon as it became possible (lv28) i also specced into some ele dmg with weapons nodes on templar for lvling and respec them later on. Then i just went throught duelist, ranger to shadow area taking all life nodes on the way. On merci i started to take crit nodes and acrobatics, took vaal pact when i obtained doryani catalyst. Also spec into Essence Sap (ranger area) for mana leech if you dont have boot enchant yet. I also avoided meta builds for few leagues but this time i wanted to try a new skill and blade flurry is the only one for melee characters and it looked fun to play. |

Are there any cheap uniques that we can use for leveling?
Sorry for silly questions but I ve never been playing this before :) |

" http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Hand_of_Thought_and_Motion http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Fidelitas%27_Spike these are good ele weapons for lvling but you can easily craft something good with essences if you find the right ones while leveling. Before lv28 just grab something 2h and craft it with essence of contempt :) |

Hey, I have some questions.
How do you get frenzy charges? Foil, do i get the higher total DPS foil (including phys) or the one that has the higher eDPS? And is atk speed that important? Hyaon has high eDPS but low atk speed compared to rare foils. Last edited by g4u55l4w#6749 on Jan 2, 2017, 10:53:17 PM

Killing while in Blood Rage gets the Frenzy charges.
About to hit 40, just the 6link from Tabula flew me through normal. Bought two 1H swords with elemental damage at level 32ish. Now that I'm taking hits, I have to actually buy some cheapo glove/hat/shoes to get my secondary gem links set up. I'm not getting the big screen-clearing kills yet, but that makes sense without the ascendancies and heavy crit stacking yet. |

Do you think that these will be ok? I am having them from my previous character.
Will just buy new jewellery, socket jewels and weapons. Craft a new pair of gloves. Do we need or can I just sell it and buy Vinktar ? |

" Taste of Hate will just increase your survi but not damage. Our physical scaling is not existant. Chest is really nice but on boots you need the hp/mana leech enchant also energy shield based items are useless since blood rage will drain it and it wont recharge. " Blood rage generates frenzy charges. Ignore the physical mods on weapons, like i said earlier we do not benefit from them at all. Hyaon's Fury not only is much slower then a decent foil (1,30 att speed) but also flat 5% crit chance on weapon means much less critical strike chance for blade flurry and this build is about crit strikes. |

is this build only templar viable or maybe CI?

" Tried to come up with tree for CI from templar but it really seems very not efficent. Also i think templar is the best class to play elemental blade flurry. Maybe assasin? Maybe elementalist but buffs from these subclassess are very subpar compared to inquisitor. |

" CI requires a different build. Energy Shield is too far away from the sword nodes. You sacrifice too much DPS. You could go with daggers, but an elemental dagger has much lower eDPS and is much tougher to find, due to caster mods. It'd still be viable I'm sure, but Foils and Life-based is much cheaper and still very powerful. If you gear up right you can stack enough life to avoid the one-shots, and Vaal Pact will allow you to leech back to full instantly. Inquisitor is by far the best for elemental Blade Flurry. Inevitable Judgment tree is straight up OP. Assassin is great for Physical/Chaos/Poison based Blade Flurry, not so much for elemental. |
