Hey.. Just like thousands of others I've been looking for a 3.3 starter and viewing yours for the past week or so. My main concerns as a starter is scaling into high end maps quickly (Lab, red tier maps, shaper/atziri). Generally I start off as AW totems for bossing, but I think I want to map more this league.

Do you think you can comfortably clear Red Tier Maps/Uber Lab/Atziri on Divinarius and Tabula (Assume I have Hrimsorrow/Starkonja)?

Looking at reddit tells me this will be a very popular build (increase weapon price) and the chest will be expensive (40-60c)

Looking above I would I probably need to drop my HoI for a warlords blasphemy setup during the first few days until I can get a ring to replace it.

Sorry if anyone else has already asked these questions, I've been going through this forum but there's a lot of pages. You might want to update the FAQ with some of my questions if you think they're of any help for others.

Hey mate. Thanks a lot for this guide. You convinced me to use your build as the starter one for the new Incursion league.

I have been doing some Reddit reading and there are changes coming to BV in 3.3:

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/8iidt4/33_blade_vortex_reworked_max_stacks_now_10_down/?ref=share&ref_source=link


Do you agree with the idea of dropping the spell echo gem when only 10 stacks is the limit? Do these changes to the gem look like a buff to your build?

Thanks in advance for your reply :D

i posted my thoughts before when the gem was released.
yes, it is a buff.
yes, spell echo can be dropped with the new gem. right now it takes 4 seconds to get to 20 stacks with spell echo, and it will take only 3.3 seconds to get to 10 stacks without it.

let's hope it doesn't get nerfed at the last minute, and i'll update the guide after full patch notes are released.

I saw mathil video and he ran BV elementalist without any additional area nodes. Since elementalist can pretty much prolif well, it might worth looking into spending those point elsewhere.

Thanks mate for your response. Apart from Efficacy, what do you think about using Onslaught as the 6-link? This means of course that the HoI setup you already suggested (including Onslaught) will not be available due to socket limitation. I considered Onslaught because it offers significant boost to the spinning plus movement boost either while using WBlades or not. As Chris said, it is going to be a clearspeed league this time so it sounds like a good addition for mapping. What do you think?

Spoiler

build is good, got like 20c max in ghetto gear and still tabula (didn't play much)

t9 yellow vault was easymode, weapon is shit and dont even have a second dagger.
Easiest transition into maps after kitava of any character I've played, and that's with all the crazy free mods from flashback league.

In 3.3 with the buffs? and the vaal vortex version - if they overlap. Plus the quality of life with 20 -> 10 blades and without the flashback league mods on maps it'll be very strong.

I do have like 40 deaths, but I play like rambo and like I mentioned the flashback league mods. Most my deaths are to beyond mobs swarming me because all the packs you touch explode instantly. Bosses were easy too, only con is you have to be in melee range and keep the vortex up. Izaro merciless was a joke.

Leveling up to 35 was a bit painful, but after that it started picking up for me

might roll it 3.3, to see what it's like with good gear rather than ghetto.

nice build.
