[3.6] Triple Herald Blade Vortex Elementalist

Someone check my character pls. What can I do for upgrade?
"
It is absolutely fun and incredible, however I just have huge issues surviving in incursions / temples during leveling now... I get nearly oneshot when I enter, if I am lucky I can evade and get a few kills but if the mob groups are to big they just blast me off the screen :(

Will this get better while I develop the passive tree, or how is the survival maanged later on... any leech?



I felt for a long time the build was clunky and incursions especially were very punishing. I bought a Ming's heart (heck, I even played with two of them for a while) and built around it. Once you get enough life and MoM and dodge, you can dump it (I am at 42% for attacks and 42 % for spells, it feels good).

There is also the possible cluster of Life + chaos res that is not too far away from the tree (in 6 skill points, you get 20% life and 20% chaos res) but I don't think it is optimal.


However, in your case, I looked at your toon (Vortexalina I guess) and I have a few suggestions :

First, drop Nomic's storm for ANY other boots. The first hit you take with these will always be 15% worse, why would you want that ?

The Tabula is good (I am playing with one since Inpulsa is so much more expansive in race than in regular incursion) but if you're not playing with 6 links, drop it for a good 5 link.

And definitely get gear with more life. It is crucial to survive.
Great build, just one question why run MoM when you have so little mana unreserved?

My bad, thank you for the quick response!
I'm using this build on Incursion event and I'm having a blast! I got a pretty good damage, but I'm dying too much. I didn't get many of the life nodes, but I got 5k hp as my equipment provides a good amount of life. Can anyone check my build and give me tips on how I can improve?
What is better for bigger DPS?

1) Weapon which have "Gain 24% Physical Damage as Extra Cold damage" + "90% increased critical strike chance for spells"

or

2) Weapon which have "Gain 24% Physical Damage as Extra -> Cold <- damage" + Weapon which have "Gain 24% Physical Damage as Extra -> Fire <- damage"
Well, you definitely took too little life + you chose not to take the acrobatics path. This is your problem, as your gear is good. I don't think you need all those damage nodes, maybe respec some + as you have efficacy, you could respec the second duration cluster.

Yes, I followed the "Two duration clusters tree" as the build states it's better for beginners. Do you recommend following the "Single duration cluster tree with Acrobatics and Phase Acrobatics" variation instead?

But do you really think this is the problem? The 8 nodes in the life cluster gives me +500 life and honestly I'm not sure that's going to help me since I'm mostly getting one shot when I die.

Btw, thanks for your response! I appreciate your help.

EDIT: I respecd my tree, the phase acrobatic nodes seem really promising. I also got all the life nodes. Let's see!
