3.13 Bladeblast Chieftain. GG HC build. high dmg/clear/surv. Blasting awakener! Strong as ever!

thanks mate

is it just due to condensed nature of the blades on the ground? or does a portion of the blasts damage come from the initial damage of the bladefall?

it is the condensed nature of the blades. The more blades that fall close to a single target, the more blades blade blast will be able to detonate and damage the single target.

are there any recommendations for glove or boot enchants?

I am thinking of trying to get Commandment of Flames on my gloves. I have noticed that every so often packs explode when I shield charge into them with out having to cast Bladefall. I was hoping that the Commandment of Flames would help do this slightly more often.



Here are my two cents, ordered by recommendation.

For glove enchants:
* Commandment of Blades is a very nice enchant. You just need one bb hit to trigger it, and it can chain among mobs to clean one screen away. (This is a blade build anyway, so I'll highly recommend it)
* Commandment of Flames (yours is already good enough)
* Commandment of Light (this can be good choice if we roll it and want to stop there)

For boot enchants:
* 16% increased Attack and Cast Speed if you've Killed Recently (smooth speed mapping)
* Regenerate 2% of Life per second if you were Hit Recently (scales well with this build, icing on the cake)
* Damage Penetrates 10% of Enemy Elemental Resistances if you haven't Killed Recently (good for boss, but hard to roll due to low weight)
* 80% chance to Avoid being Stunned if you've Killed Recently (stun immune when combined with arcane swiftness, good for mapping)


We also have some good belt enchant choices, however I think those are small bonuses
* Hits against Enemies Unnerved by you have 50% increased Spell Critical Strike Chance
* 30% reduced Effect of Curses on you while on Consecrated Ground
* Enemies Taunted by you deal 5% less Area Damage
* Enemies Blinded by you have 30% reduced Critical Strike Chance (Personally I'm looking for this one, just due to the explosive glove I'm using)

What do you guys think about using lvl 1 bladefall for reduced mana cost? Basically all of the damage comes from BB so should be fine right?

Thanks for the excellent suggestions!

I got Commandment of Flames on my 3rd try, and I hate lab so much I am stopping there :)

I may go back later to see about the boots. My belt is corrupted so no enchant on that for now.
Hi!. I have problems figuring out how to craft the sceptre with +1 to level to physical gems , +1 to spell skill gems and damage per endurance charges. for example:

Yeah, lab runs are not fun, and this build doesn't move fast for lab, I usually just pick several candidates and stay happy about any one of them. Good luck on your boot enchant!

I think lv1 should work.

BTW, I'm trying anomalous bladefall, the knockback mechanism looks quite good for this build, we can sometimes lock mobs / small bosses by constantly knocking them back and interrupting their actions.
I am super happy with the Shield Charge - Commandment of Flames combo.

It has increased my clear speed nicely. I would estimate I can clear about half a T16 level map by doing nothing more than Shield Charging into pack after pack.

If a pack does not explode immediately, then I cast the BFBB combo and Shield Charge into the next pack.
Yes I've used level 1 bladefall today and it works fine, no noticeable difference but way better mana sustain. Finally time for me to drop the mana flask and pick up bottled faith and cinderswallow
