Tree links didn't work via the poe main website, this has now been sorted. Pardon the confusion this has caused many people.

Hey Ghaazy, one minor thing. The trees are now working properly but they are mislabeled. For example the second last tree is labeled "8 points" but is clearly the almost finished tree.

Thank you, this has been adjusted!

what would you have to switch around or out to change make this build better for a shaper kill? or any end game bosses?

I would strongly consider tripple heralds. This drastically reduces eHP but grants much more damage.

ty for your build mate! is...pretty damn good:)

My pleasure bro!

Hi, what is your opinion on an ascendant version with Elementalist + (trickster or inqu)? The heralds with ascendant are stronger than real ele, and you also have reflect immune with some other bonuses. Thanks.

Question how do you keep blade vortex up more regularly. It lasts for such a short amount of time that its a pain to cast it up to 10 stacks while fighting a boss.

Loving the build. So is it correct that the only required unique is the inpulsa?

Well, all 4 versions work great they are super similar (obviously).

My take is this:
Elementalist has the best reach
Inquisitor has the best dmg numbers solo
Trickster is the cheapest and easiest to get going with


Ultimately all 3 versions can handle the same content with next to no difference in terms of clear speed, Trickster doesn't need Intuitive Leap for QoL which the other options promotes.

Vs a boss you shouldn't do anything else but dodge & cast BV, once you get the duration cluster it's super smooth in mapping as well as you only need 3-4 blades tops to clear entire rooms.

Can use a Tabula with herald of ice as well. Once you got Inpulsa the herald isn't even needed but is still very nice to use imo. BUt yeah, no other uniques are mandatory for the end-game.

i am kinda confused, i only see 3 4link suggestions?
CWDT and Utility. What is the third one?

Free choice there, options I'd prefer would be things like:
* Golem with blind/maim
* Frost Bomb
* another CWDT setup
* Arcane surge setup
* Possible AG

thank you very much. i like this build. really. but i have problems in the temple xD NOT ENOUGH TIIIIIMEEE

and and why Warlords Mark on both CoH AND CWDT?

My build is having around 25k avg damage when all blades are up. But i have no idea how i can raise it even more: D:

I see in PoB that u get more dmg from the jewels, I got almost identical jewels but they dont boost my damage really much. Do u know what the problem is? or what could raise my dmg even more?

Thanks already!

I'm not the OP but I can give some pointers how to increase your damage output without losing too much defensive stats. I'm currently level 91 and having 5.8k HP, 13.8k BV damage with 0 blades and 68.6k damage with 10 blades. (while using Hatred + Herald of Thunder and not using flasks)

1) Refund 2x Frenzy nodes right side of the skill tree, one 5% Life node, +10 Strength node and Jewel slot node at your left side of the skilltree. Then apply those 5 nodes top right corner to get some Spell Crit nodes that you may have missed. Getting more Crit damage on spells raises your damage a bit.

2) Swap "Concentrated Effect" gem to "Increased Critical Strikes" gem. CE gem drops the radius of BV quite small which can slower your killing speed a lot. Not sure if this will raise or lower your dps, but it's something worth looking into.

3) Save some currency and try to buy some decent shield with ~100 Spell Crit and ~50%+ Spell damage.

4) Save currency until you have 50 chaos to 4 exalts. You absolutely want a weapon with 90%+ Spell Crit, and at least 30%+ extra elemental damage mod. Any other spell cast or Attack speed mod is also really good, but not so needed. Keep an eye for Daggers, Sceptres and Wands. Daggers seems to be selling at least double the price as the other two weapon types.

5) Try to get jewels with ~35+ Life and over 50+ damage added to your spells (not average damage, just count all the damage numbers together). You can prob get jewels like these as low as few to 20c each.

6) Try getting some Rings with better Crit mods in it. Also keep an eye that your resists stays close or above of 75 or you start dying a lot.

7) Get amulet with "gain 15%+ of Physical damage as Extra X Damage mod". Maybe paired with Crit mod, Life, or other defensive mods.

If you want to inspect my gear, my characters are visible on my profile page. Just find the only character with Incursion league. ;)


I have question to OP/someone else with more experience this build. Is there any other gem you would suggest running instead of "Increased area of Effect"? That gem seems to be quite a waste of a slot tbh. Currently running "Increased Item Rarity" instead of it (been running some shape/elder influenced maps). Someone else suggested me Hypothermia gem but I'm not sure if it's good with this build or not.
