[3.6] Triple Herald Blade Vortex Elementalist

Just carried a friend in Uber Atziri with shittier dps items than yours and it was very easy, only 1 death because i didnt pay attention to a flameblast that oneshot me. Cleared everything now except Uber Elder, didnt get to try it yet. But I'll prob upgrade my shit weapons/necklace before attempting that.

Would it be worth to replace Enlighten with Clarity and put a 10% MoM Watcher's Eyes? Or the loss from Clarity's reserve + enlighten's multiplier loss is too big of a difference?

I'd go from 920 mana to 825 by replacing Enlighten3 with Clarity1

watcher's eye gives you flat 10% more eHP and frees up one point.
MoM can be more effective against smaller hits and also gives more mana regen, but makes you prone to running out of mana occasionally.

Would you suggest removing MoM then? I thought to keep both. Or is it just not good to have both MoM and the jewel.

it makes no sense to use both MoM and the clarity jewel due to the small size of our mana pool.

Yeah... Just realised that... Guess I should not try to math at 4am.

So in this case, should I just stick to MoM or swap to the jewel without MoM? 5400hp+900mana with MoM, VS 5800hp + 600mana with the jewel/clarity without MoM (respeccing my 4 points of MoM towards the Devotion life nodes)

Feels like I'm trading 300 mana for 400 life, which in this case means 100 extra eHP? Unless I'm mathing this all wrong again.

Also to note, I tend to duo with someone that plays with Hatred, and I got myself a watcher's eye with flat cold dmg while affected with hatred, which gives me +6% dps compared to not having any when he's near me. Dont know if that makes it more worth to stick to jewel and remove MoM, or if I should just replace the Watcher's for a DPS/Life jewel.

you are also trading a jewel slot. it becomes a pure judgement call whether it is worth it or not and that's why i usually avoid answering such questions.

I have reached high red maps and I am feeling kind of rippy. 5700 health and MOM. I've been stuck at lvl 91 for a couple of days now because of deaths. Admittedly, in part it's because of my lack of knowledge of the end game, but still I would like some more defenses. Any suggestions? Acrobatics - phase acrobatics worth?

i went ahead and recorded T14 map with -max res, extra damage, poison and ignite on hit combined with enfeeble and extra mob resists.

i have less life than you and i am not using any mirror gear, here is my weapon, it is not even shaped:

here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj3dsHfvBEk

i honestly don't know how it is possible to fail this build.

I am not saying I am failing, I am progressing but slowly, even got my very first t16 drop, which I am too scared to try.. Just having a hard time, while learning. And most of my deaths were at bosses, many of which I had never played before, like arghus boss at ghetto possessed by some weird spirit or t15 kitava, or when a double beyond map spawned two beyond bosses who instakilled me, a breach boss, or instadeath from incursion constructs, stuff like that, and a couple dcs when my game crashed from too many mobs.. And most of my maps are vaaled so many times they are unid, so there's that.

Just wondering if acrobatics/ phase acrobatics would help with stuff like that or another suggestion for a noobish player... Not everyone is pro... No need to get aggressive, didn't say the build is bad...

Was also wondering what your thoughts are on ice-bite and increased duration as blade vortex links?

finally managed to do some improvements in my character. respecced out of the duration nodes on the upper right of the scion start since during mapping, i only needed to maintain 3-5 stacks of BV to pop the packs. meanwhile, it's pretty easy to maintain 10 stacks when fighting bosses (if they don't die within the first few seconds of the fight that is.) i was able to get a shaped dagger with spell damage, crit to spells, crit multi, and elemental gained as chaos for just over an exalt (which is a steal since with a shaped sceptre on my offhand, 1 percentage point in chaos damage gained is equivalent to 1.75 percentage point for other shaper gained as elemental mod)

an inpulsa dropped for me so i've been trying to 6link it for the past 2 days (700 fuses so far. RNGesus, Toucan, and Kuduku, please be kind to me) so i'm still stuck in a 5L. however, i'm still able to clear maps pretty easily and POB puts my standard boss damage at 1.42mn while mapping damage with a brightbeak/shield swap is at 784k. priorities for upgrade is going to be 6L inpulsa, BV duration enchant, and if i am rich enough, a decent elder/shaper amulet.

current gear:

here is a video of a corrupted t15 run the inc monster life and 90% chance to avoid elemental ailments significantly slowed down my run but bossing was a breeze

my opinion on acro/phase acro should be clear from the fact i am using them myself. i think it is a good layer of defense although it is rng based.

ice bite is ok for mapping if you don't have any other means of frenzy charge generation. increased duration would be a waste in my opinion.

Hey guys!

I am stuck at a point where i don't know what else does influence the damage anymore apart from the flasks which i don't have. My dps with 10 blades is around 30k now in pob.
Can someone please look at these and suggest some upgrades? thanks
