[3.14] Cold Blade Vortex | Endgame | MOM | Agnostic | Indigon | Pathfinder | Inquisitor

This build combines the incredible scaling that Indigon offers, up to ~2000% spell damage, with the psuedo-walking simulator: Blade Vortex. Because Blade Vortex is a duration spell, and it does not rely on casting the spell to directly do damage (aside from maintaining 10 blade stacks), this build can scale Indigon mana cost without having to worry about maintaining enough mana to keep on casting. You will always have 10 blades while bossing, but the number of blades drops off a bit while mapping. Regardless, everything dies in 1 hit... including most bosses.

-Elemental Conversion and Hatred scaling is one of the strongest ways to scale physical damage spells, which this build does to the limit.

-Naturally, because this build stacks mana up to 4K in order to ramp the mana cost of ~4k per Blade Vortex (allows you to hit the cap on Indigon), it also offers an incredibly strong defense of MOM / Indigon.

-To sustain the mana cost, the build relies on an enduring mana flask with Pathfinder, % mana recovery stacking, and % flask mana recovery stacking. With this, it is almost near instant mana recovery.

Please note, this playstyle isn't for everyone. If you hate flasks, you'll hate this build. If you hate ramping, you'll also hate this build. If you hate face tanking things and doing TONS of damage, you'll hate this build.

Is this viable in 3.15?

I assume it's dead with the mana cost of skills....

It's mostly dead from the enduring flask nerf, the increased mana cost actually really helped the build ramp indigon faster and was a buff. Right now I'm testing an alternative version that uses the instant mana flask, but I don't have a great deal of motivation this league.
