[3.3] Apep Recharge Blade Vortex Occultist - CI - Uber elder and etc...

When you say that the gem setup is based on watchers eye. Is that because you wouldnt normally run hatred? Is there a more ideal watchers eye you would go for?

If you use Hatred crit chance Watcher eye, your crit will become too high, and it's not effective because we use diamond flask.

So you need to replace Inc crit strike gem for Empower 4. That'll boost your dps by 10% (in my case it's 1.2mils shaper dps -> 1.3mils )

But Empower have higher mana multiplier than Inc crit strike, so you may have to get more Mana regen. And because of high mana cost, you'll have to turn off Clarity, and even buy a Enlighten 4 to keep your unreserved high enough for you to cast/sustain BV.

Nice build and good play on the uber elder video.

Nice Guide :-) I'm playing this actually. Why didn't you use Ghost Reaver ?

And where exactly did you use the Efficacy Support?

Because it take 2 more points and 50% less recharge rate which will change the play style completely.

The original idea is to use a Warlord's mark ring, to sync with Profane bloom for clearing... solved mana problem and get rid of OoS-Arcane surge-Curse on hit setup, replace with Spell totem-wither.

But since this is my starter build, i cant find any decent Warlord's mark ring. I got one at day 6 or7 iirc and it's not that good to use.

Problem is:
-Warlord mark isnt good for this build play style, which is Stacking blade -> dash in -> take dmg -> dash out , stack blade, wait for recharge -> dash in and face tank for 4 sec -> repeat. I feels like Mana regen make the play smoother for me
-Wither totem died too fast and require good positioning which will distract you, casting another spell many times also affect your blade density. While OoS you just simple put it there.
-Wither totem cant proc Arcane surge, so you need to link it with Flame dash or Golem or else 12% less spell damage and -12% cast speed, and i dont want to force my self flame dashing every 6 sec to proc AS.
-Warlord mark and Profane bloom will hurt your output dps by 15%.


I use Efficacy when mapping, instead of Concentrated effect.

Thanks for the very detailed answer! Appreciate the insight!

Song in video? :D

w/e got it ;p

Could you play this as a trickster? Currently playing BV on a trickster and wondering if a quick gear/tree switch over would work out.

It's based on Occultist's Wicked ward so no.....
