To get a more detailed explanation on how the build works and needs to be set up, check out the link to my video-guide above. First of all, what is this build and who is it suited for? 1.

A build that doesn't require you to level 50-60 levels as something else before you can actually start playing the skill/build. 3. Fans of "Will it Blend?". 4. A build that is both viable for hardcore as well as softcore. 5. People who prefer a build that has a video-guide linked to it. __________________________________________________________________________ Build mechanic introduction: This build utilizes the Mind Over Matter keystone, instant life leech and endurance charges via Vaal Pact and Warlords Mark (this makes reflect a non-issue).

|

Thanks for the build, Bro. Love your content and I've been looking for a good Blade Vortex that I can play in HC.

Nice build wanted to point out though that the Leveling skill-tree, 88 points: link is broken at the moment.

" i dont believe we did, that must have been someone else |
|
Just wondering, why Herald of Ashe instead of Hatred?
|
|
" He's using MoM, and needs the unreserved mana. Hatred + Blasphemy would leave him with 15% mana left, while HoA + Blasphemy he has 40% unreserved. Nice write up LNB! Quite different from my take at BV, but I like it. |
