[3.14] Blade Blast Build | Chieftain | Ultimatum | Path of Exile 3.14

I was wondering, how do you fix the mana issue?

I have a question about playing this build.

Are you running into packs of mobs and then casting Bladefall, followed up by Blade Blast or are you casting the Bladefall ahead of you and then blade blasting?

I have been having a really hard time getting the timing right with this build. I am normally a PS4 player but switched to PC for this league.

Anyway, thank you for posting your build, so far its working very well!

Casting bladefall ahead of you then detonating is much safer and faster because you will just clear enemies you never end up seeing. If you run into the pack sometimes the time it takes to bladefall and then blade blast will be too long and the monsters can kill you, especially in high tier maps, can be unavoidable in close quarters maps though. Just make sure you aren't completely shooting at nothing so you dont run out of mana.

That's a lot of nerfs in 3.14! Would you say the build is still viable and strong?
