Blade Vortex doesn't apply curse on hit
|
I have this problem. Replaced my Vengeance with this fun setup I heard about: CWDT + Blade Vortex which has Curse on Hit and Warlord's Mark. Blade Vortex triggers no problem, but it refuses to cast the curse when it hits enemies. Why could that be? My friend is using the same thing and he says it works for him.

Warlord's Mark needs to exceed CwDT's requirement restriction.

The Curse needs to be high enough level not to be linked to the CWDT. If it is lower than the required level for CWDT (aka allowed) then the Curse code will say "oops, linked to two trigger gems, that's not allowed so I'm going to disable myself."
Basically you need to make sure the Curse works with CoH but not CWDT which basically means your Curse is currently too low level. Need game info? Check out the Wiki at: https://www.poewiki.net/

Oh my! Thanks, I didn't know that. So that means I shouldn't level up my CWDT over level 19 when I'm maxing these things out?

Aside from getting a tiny bit of Blade Vortex damage, there really isn't much reason to level CwDT at all. This setup is usually done with a level 1 CwDT so it triggers as much as possible; easier to maintain Blade Vortex.

Though now when I think of it, this setup is overly complex, especially for my build. Would be much simpler just to get Vengeance + Curse on Hit + WM. Blade Vortex lasts only a short while and doesn't do much damage at all with zero investment. So that's probably what I'll go with. What to do with the fourth socket in that scenario? Increased Duration or something else? Culling strike for bosses maybe?

Are you sure it's not better just having the CwDT cast the curse for you? It will have an AoE and hit monsters within the radius.

" It will also be limited to a low level by the CwDT requirements. CwDT -> skill -> curse on hit is a sneaky way to cast a high level curse with a low level CwDT (so it activates more often). |

" Aye, Warlord's Mark is one of the great Curses to keep lower level, since its most attractive feature, Leech, does not scale with level (the Leech is as powerful as it will ever get at Level 1) Need game info? Check out the Wiki at: https://www.poewiki.net/

But Vengeance activates 40% of the time with full quality, which is basically every 2,5 hits you take. That's better IMO than waiting to take 1000+ damage that CWDT requires. I tested both options, Vengeance seems faster and more reliable.
