You just slot it so that the skills rotate and you have like.. maybe 80% uptime against mobs for triggers.

You connect with hextouch/storm brand/2 curses on bosses to proc EE first and then unload, unless your triggers are already off cd then it doesn't matter what the order is.

You really should socket in Tempest Shield into your trigger wand, even if Orb of Storm/Storm Brand is on cooldown we have 100% uptime on Tempest Shield. You can test is out on Blood Aquaduct.

Hi, thank you very much for this build, really enjoying it.

I have a question regarding EE: Right now I use vortex on left click (run). However, I fear that this will somehow mess up my EE uptime, since Vortex does an initial cold hit.

My thoughts are as follows:

My Vortex cooldown is 1.05 sec, so every 1.05 sec I cast a new Vortex with an initial cold hit. After the cold hit, EE gives enemies +25% cold resistance. Although I use Storm Brand and OoS on bosses, which should nearly immediately overwrite the cold hit, I fear that the time frame between my Vortex casts is just too low to really benefit from EE (in an optimal case - SB/OoS hits immediately after the vortex cold hit - I have round about 1 sec of -50% cold resistance before my next Vortex hits.

Do you have any experience with running Vortex on left click? Is EE still beneficial in this case, am I overthinking things?

Ty in advance.

You seem to be a new player and you are overthinking EE.

Storm Brand is constantly ticking during its 6 second duration to ensure EE is 100% of the time. So if its taking longer than 6 seconds to kill a boss , cast another SB and your fine.

Everyone,
Note that I no longer recommend taking Profane Bloom at all in any stage of the build. I know it's one of the "sacred" aspects of Occultist, but I PROMISE you, it's fine. It really is. <3

but could you not get a +5 awa hextouch gem for the +1 curse, and take profane bloom instead of malediction?

9 of 10 top Vortex characters in this league use the Profane Bloom. I mean noone else but these guys know better how to level such character. And somehow they decided to go with Profane Bloom.
