I'm starting to suspect that they tested FB/vortex with like zero ping, when even the slightest ping means your vortices won't go off on top of the FB you clicked, on, and it is instead centred on you. Increasing the projectile speed of the FB makes it harder to get it to work right. Decreasing the projectile speed just makes it a bitch to clear.

It's like they're trying to make us pull off UT shock rifle explosions, except there's no room clearing reward for lining up the shot properly, and you're better off just running up to everyone and setting off the vortex yourself.

I was dumb and made this as my league starter. Vortex is fun as a melee skill but on a witch it hurts. I'm hoping someone finds a way to save this or I'm going to have to start over.

I'm breaking from the RT Marohi mould and trying a crit staff Earthquake build, and it's loving incredible. At level 28, I bought The Stormheart, a staff I've never heard of that has a bunch of cold and lightning damage and a completely absurd crit chance (9.43% for me), and with four power charges, it has a 51% chance to crit without an ICS gem, and 68% at four. It's completely wrecking things even going into Cruel. This is the tree I'm using, currently a few points away from the dual curse cluster.

Anybody have any tips for maintaining power charges? I'm using Assassin's Mark right now, but I'd rather be using Warlord's for the leech. I've heard Blade Vortex with PCoC is good for it. Maybe set that up on a CwDT? I should be getting a bit of global crit from the staff nodes I'm taking.

You're building toward using Hegemony's Era, which generates power charges.

Yeah, I figured that much. I just tested out BV + PCoC, and it doesn't do crap for me. But I just got dual curse, so I'll probably just run both of the mark auras and roll with it.

Yep. It's atrocious. Also if you're following Ziggy's original passive tree, I would make a few changes and not concentrate on DoT damage... well honestly I'd tweak it a lot.

I did find picking up MoM was really helpful because there's so much mana regen on the tree. I'll probably eventually move over to CI and maybe add Xirgil's, but lol Xirgil's without Wicked Ward. But yeah, I'm salty as gently caress about this. Who the gently caress wants to play glass cannon in melee. Ice Nova was rarely used as an endgame skill not just because its damage is poo poo but because it's annoying mechanically. I don't know how they end up loving up every single ice skill but I'm so over it.

edit Just a note that for bosses, don't stand in melee. I spam frostbolt and then spam vortex to get one to hopefully pop off whenever the previous one expires. It's survivable at least that way.

I'm extremely worried about how well it will scale into late endgame. It'll definitely be slower than my Occultist ED/Contagion build which was ultra tanky and much more mobile.

http://pastebin.com/gfZBjxGc - Made some updates to my cut&paste filter. Added chance bases (sorc boots, sapphire flasks), the new map trial drops and skill gem filtering.

If you dont know what this is, its basically a merge of neversink's slick filter for currency/maps/divination cards/skill gems/uniques with etup's filter for gear drops. If you're just playing casually then neversink's filter will probably be perfectly allright for you, this is more aimed at the poopsockers.

I was. The dream died when they nerfed the hat enchant. With the merc enchant and going all out with 21/20 reduced duration, rapid decay, and warped time piece you can get down to about 3 aps. With the map one you can get 4.

Boss, if they make us find seven lost crystals, I'm quitting.

BV does hella deeps even without any real gear, which is why it's such a good leveling skill. Throw some gear at it and it gets crazy. The only downside really is the short range and having to stand there casting to keep your stacks up (which is also why I don't care for SRS, even though I love the idea of the build).

He might be referring to the new skill Vortex, in which case it's too new for there to be a consensus opinion, and all I've heard is that the frostbolt + vortex combo doesn't work correctly all of the time.

Are you using Frostbolt as well? You don't have to stay in their faces.

I picked up Zealot's Oath to have my Stone Golem keep my energy shield going, and at the moment have Warlord's Mark on Blasphemy for a touch of life leech to keep that topped off.

Then I have Frostbite selfcast to help things die/freeze/explode faster.

My poisonquake build from last league had a good amount of ias. As long as you aren't sacrificing other dps stats for it, its perfectly fine and doesn't hurt the build at all. Here is a short video I made of me killing the bosses in regular Atziri: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XobZf0K2VTs

There are some other videos I have on my channel of me doing some t14/t15 high quant maps if you want to see how the build clears in regular end-game mapping.
