if you/me aren't planning to take glancing blows, is there any use for thread of hope? thread of hope is so confusing to use that I just can't figure it out myself.

Some of us using it for the top side of the tree to grab some nodes and save on points. Though in this case we're dropping block nodes.

1. Is using storm brand with hextouch enough to trigger explosions to clear fast? When do you use storm brand? Every pack or just some?

2. I don't have aspect of the spider on gear. Clarity, Vitality and Discipline will fit my mana without self control? How badly should I pursue Aspect of the Spider?

3. Is tempest shield, Orb of Storms and frost orb enough to maintain EE all the time? Or do we still need to cast storm brand?

4. Will try to use enfeeble instead of elemental weakness for survivability. Will I lose anything if it is linked to storm stormbrand instead of blasphemy?

5. Besides putting Tranquility on Chayulas, changing the gems to add Vitality, Clarity and Hextouch+storm brand, what do you believe should be my next changes?

6. On your build, where do you get the second curse?


Thank you so much for your time even if you are not able to answer!

edit: The part I don't comprehend and haven't seen explained anywhere is why cyclone+castwhilechanneling+twocurses? I don't really understand how cyclone synergizes or fits into vortex? Where the whole point is to stay mobile so you can dodge while your ground effect deals dps, but cyclone locks you into movement? And if I'm not mistaken cycloning too short a distance will cause the curses to not even fire off?

Some of us have been playing vortex for a while now and found other ways to proc curses that don't require reserving a ton of our mana. So we can experiment with adding in other auras.


Me: I use Storm Brand linked with Awakened Hextouch and my two curse = no mana reserved, but requires you to self cast Storm Brand to proc curses. Great for me and I am a Boss farmer and I don't care about clearing maps or 100% delirium.


Roselan: He uses Cyclone linked with cast while channeling and curses to proc his curse = no mana reserved. All he has to do is cyclone to proc his curses. You will have to ask him about the playstyle



You don't need to use our versions. Matter of fact Shak's version with Blasphemy is the most optimal for most players.

Hey, loving the build. Usually I play high-damage stuff so the low damage comparatively is a bit odd for me but nevertheless it has been great. I'm playing SSF currently and I am having trouble finding trigger wand craft, is there anything I can do to utilize EE until then? I'm CI at the moment.

Wait why do we use chayula amulet and vile bastion? Just for the +60 chaos res?

Hi guys,

I'm on t13 maps with Low Life spec and around 7k ES but I'm dying sometimes even with capped Res. So my question is: how to improve survability?

Your biggest upgrade bar none is a Cinderswalllow Urn, the survivability it gives during mapping is absolutely insane, next biggest thing is probably flask uptime, aim for as close to 100% as possible while staying on the move. Also consider getting an ignite removal flask instead of the adrenaline, ignite keeps recharge from happening which is big. Other than that you can try Flesh and Stone over the defensive curse, I found that to be a big upgrade for survivability during mapping but its a matter of taste IMO.
