[3.6] Triple Herald Blade Vortex Elementalist

From a Min/Max standpoint whats the best bandit route?

Hello, would like to try this for next league... any leveling tips? I mean which gems should I use and in which order? Sorry for the stupid question if someone already answered.

Appreciate it.

Hi, new player here. Just one q. I don't really grasp the concept of things yet, but did you changed the skill tree quite a bit? I'm at level 50 now and I thought I followed the guide flawlessly. Now, the right side of my tree looks completely different that the guide. Thanks

Yep it did, just check the last 2 or 3 pages here to see the new leveling trees and infos :)

Would using loreweave over inpulsa hurt the clear speed substantially? Or is the increased shock effect+explosion just overkill for the damage BV does?

1) Yes

2) No

What would be the most important skill gems to have for it if we don't have a 5/6 link while leveling?

I wonder if the E.O version of the build is still viable after the stat stick nerf ?
To start the league with E.O then alter to Crit build afterward is much more easy to breath for me as investment for E.O build is much more affordable and defensive-wise than Crit at the early stage.

EO version is still as viable in relation to crit as it was before the nerfs imo. Which means a little worse overall. Stat sticks got nerfed, true, but at the same time they were made totally useless for anything but phys spells. Which means their price should go down a lot.

But really, I did this crit version in SSF in the last weeks of the league and had no problems doing all the content, besides Uber Elder/Atziri, with a random crappy spell crit dagger and a spell crit shield. Both worth a couple chaos in trade league. So I would not really agree that the EO version was that much easier/cheaper to gear.

You could even argue that now that the stat sticks were nerfed, crit is easier to gear. EO pretty much needs the "phys as extra x" mods, while for crit a good dagger with some spell damage, spell crit and flat damage to spells could actually beat a 2x20% stat stick. And a 2x20% stat stick is now what was before a 2x40% stat stick when it comes to how rare/expensive it is.

Is BV gonna have any trouble with the bestiary mechanics with our shattering corpses? I can't find any official sources on how much Einar will be doing and don't wanna lose out on it from running this as my starter (and probably end-game build)
