POE SHADOW BLADE FLURRY MODS

As we'll be casting Vortex a lot without mana problems, Arcane Surge will have a 100% uptime (be sure not to overlevel Arcane Surge, keep it at a level you can guarantee its buff with a single Vortex cast). Vortex will deal fire damage because of Avatar of Fire, but its AOE will still chill enemies, making it safer for us and increasing our critical strike chance (from Cospri affix). Vortex - Arcane Surge - Vaal Righteous Fire - Increased Duration Skitterbots will slow and shock nearby enemies, effectively increasing our damage output.

Precision 1 gives us a nice critical strike chance and some awesome Watcher's Eye mods for a 22 mana reservation cost. Herald of Ash is extremely strong, clearing packs with its area effect and giving us a 'more spell damage' effect. Herald of Ash - Flesh and Stone - Precision - Summon Skitterbotsįlesh and Stone is mandatory to guarantee us 100% hit chance. For the open slots, I've tested gems such as Whirling Blades, Culling Strike, Fortify, Endurance Charge on Melee Stun, Summon Ice Golem, Vaal Grace. Leap Slam is highly recommender for mapping because of cliffs and other obstacles. My current setup is Leap Slam + Whirling Blades + Faster Attacks + Culling Strike. I'd say Leap Slam and Faster Attacks are mandatory here. Whirling Blades - Leap Slam - Faster Attacks - Culling Strike You can also remove Fortify from this setup and place on the mobility setup (commented below). As we only deal fire damage, Wave of Conviction will always apply fire exposure, increasing all damage dealt for all skills (as we use Avatar of Fire). It can be better for bosses, though.Ĭyclone - Wave of Conviction - Increased Critical Strikes - Faster Attacks - Fortify - Cast On Critical Strikeĭifferently from the original version, in which we had two Ice Nova gems, here we have a third spell on our 6link: Wave of Conviction. Concentrated Effect is slightly better than Elemental Focus, but the reduced AOE from it (and the already too high damage) made me keep Elemental Focus. Ice Nova shall be placed on the offhand Cospri. Ice Nova - Cold to Fire Support - Elemental Focus Support Combustion reduces enemies fire resistances, benefitting all of our damage gems.

Messy effects, possibly laggy (~22.5 casts per second, ignites and Herald of Ash explosions, Vortexįrostbolt - Cold to Fire Support - Combustion Supportįrostbolt shall be placed on the mainhand Cospri. Melee build, possibly hard to avoid some mechanics in the beginning
