So ... levelling in betrayal - so no currency/levelling uniques yet :)

I like the written guide - lots of detail.

A few questions if I may?

Where do you get DEX for BV? We get, like, 3 minor nodes of DEX in the tree but not near starting paths, so that means BV at low levels isn't possible unless you get lucky with DEX drops on gear?

Why take power charges at the start as per instructions? How do we generate charges early on (pre-level 20?)

Any reason we don't path through the nodes below "Master of the arena" for 2 hand or 1 handed damage? Only costs 1 more point that just the strength nodes?

Thanks for the compliment :).

In the Passive Tree section I mention that it's ok to go a little out of your way for some big Dex nodes until you have the gear. But in every act the "gem sellers" have amulets that'll give good amounts of Dex. Their stock updates every time you level. It helps get you started. After that you're dependant on gear. So just keep your high Dex gear (Dex can be crafted too...just don't spend too much currency on crafting while leveling).

I take the Endurance Charges as I pass them (instead of waiting) because the first Ascendancy node I take is the one that gives life regen per Endurance Charge. So once you've done your first lab (level 33), you'll be set without the need of backtracking.

The 1 handed nodes under Master of the Arena are only for Attacks. BV is a spell so that isn't an option. Even though the damage on the 2 handed node is not specific to Attacks, this build is 1 handed (it could work with 2 though, you just have to change tons).

If that doesn't answer your questions, let me know. Thanks for the questions.

I played through an Act with a different character to get BV, then restarted as the Marauder so I could use BV right at 12. I thought BV was great! I didn't seem to have any problems at all, but adhering to personal preference is always the best way to enjoy a build. So whether you use the skill with a totem or self-cast early on, or wait until 60, just make sure you actually like the skill :). I don't have any damage perks on the tree until the end (except for Ascendancy nodes) as BV worked fine for my preference. Having a flask that let me phase through enemies was a big help.

Am i supposed to use all my auras at once? Clarity/Purity/Herald

I cant even max out BV stacks without using a mana flask when using all auras, maybe im not supposed too? Am i playing the build wrong. :P

Im able to sustain RF when i have my endurance charges up atleat, at level 57.
I have been running without Purity on, just having it equipped to level it. This way I can spam BV as much as I like. But I would love some insight into how to properly play this, if I am doing something wrong.
Hey Skinnefjes! Thanks for the message!

I only have the Herald and Purity on all the time. Clarity is only in the socket list if you don't yet get mana regen on your gear.

You're not playing the build wrong at all :). The tree's focus is Life, Life regen, and Endurance Charges (some fire damage at the end). So all your cast speed and mana regen will come from your gear. It's really easy to get spread out over all the rares you'll wear. Everyone plays this type of build differently, so it's quite nice to have the option 100% based on equipment. 3.5's new crafting values make this build so much stronger than what I tested out in 3.4 as well. :) While leveling though, I too didn't hit 10 Blades for very long. It didn't matter though, BV is so strong it made leveling really easy (in my opinion). It doesn't take much cast speed and mana regen to get BV up to 10 quickly and sustain it.

There's nothing you're doing wrong. I don't know the tree path you took, your items, or the Ascendancy nodes you have, but the above question likely covered most of what I think you may have been concerned about. Just make sure you're not dying standing in one spot too long as you stare at the number of BV blades you have. ;)

If that didn't answer your questions or you have anything else, let me know!

RF without any Unique Gear, Blade Vortex to remedy the low Boss DMG...Guide from triniparty...(his slow mo guide is amazing) I must give this guide a try :)

I Love SSF so i did many chars.

For Bossing AC Warchief, Gladiator Agony
For Mapping Arc Witch, Sunder Slayer

Now im level 44. I level with the good old cast while channeling setup. First lab no problem. I'm very excited RF will work in the early 60`s...

Slowly the gear drops and i tell later my experience.

Thx triniparty in advance.

Thanks for taking the time to say such kind words! Please let me know what you think! The good and the bad :). Slow Mo Zombies has been tweaked for 4 leagues now, but this is the first league for this build.

Thanks again!

I'm having a little trouble in the early stages. I've been using Sunder with success. BV is hitting like a wet noodle so its not really an option for me it feels like till later on... Would you recommend I just drop the axes and start going spell damage? Or continue trying to make sunder work till....when exactly? Sorry I'm fairly new to the game so I have a hard time making educating decisions lol. I don't want to wait till its to late or I wont have any damage and can't even make it to RF.
Awesome guide! i am using a slightly modded version, more BV, less RF.

Does your loot filter (its great) show uniques as well, regardless of thier type/stats/gems? I like collecting them :)
Hmm, looks nice for me.
I`ll give it a try.
Also - u can add some sweets to "leveling section" -if this is not first char, and u have some currency.
U become able to hold up ur RF much earlier with 1 alt - 1(2) c items like :
Springleaf, shapers seed, kikazaru (x2). Also for charges - lochtonial caress.
PS: how we are againts Syndicate? Those guys are pretty badass.
