PoE 3.24 - Blade Vortex Pathfinder | League Start Build Guide

[@m3ntalch4os87]

played this build in 3.23 and will definitely do so in 3.24 again. Thx for the update👍

[@HBMKylex]

Hey, thx for all the content. You look tired, hope you are well and take care of yourself!

[@Lolcohol]

I am tired but I am well! :D league start video panic halp

[@flakkcon]

Will you be updating this build for 3.25 at all?

[@blutwurst5312]

3.24 unholy might does 100% from phys as extra chaos dmg with the benefit to wither. Its actually an epic update

[@Lolcohol]

Can you explain how it works so well? For a poison version it doesn't really add much damage, but if you're doing some hit-based version t might be rad yeah

[@blutwurst5312]

​@@Lolcoholdamn ur right. I was thinking the extra 100% as Chaos would increase poison as well. My misstake

[@Rekwalde_PoE]

Normally I would just go balls deep convert to 3.25 and be on my way but sadly I'm not as well versed in this build at all, do you think you will do updates for 3.25?

[@Lolcohol]

I don't know if I'm going to get time :( maybe there will be someone in the Discord playing it? And if I do get time I'll get you know!

[@bawalbaba4820]

Might be out of place but goddamn, you look like hell in the intro. I hope you're taking care of yourself and everything is alright.

[@Lolcohol]

HahaI am so exhausted. League start prep and work and IRL is too much 🥲

[@sacredleague492]

Would it work to replace BV with the new tornado gem for this PoB? i think its really similar and i would love to try the new nado gem

[@Lolcohol]

I'm not certain! I wouldn't do a 1 to 1 swap without testing it. I think some people are doing some tech with that so keep a look out for PoBs or try it out and use this build as a backup!

[@VincentKun]

I want to do a bow build someone can give me an advice on the "state-of-the-art" about bow builds?

[@Lolcohol]

I'd check out Lightning Arrrow - it's a very popular and fun build. I believe Goratha and Crouching Tuna have guides on it? Alternatively there is the classic Toxic Rain or Caustic Arrow that are great options - I believe Zizaran usually puts out a TR build guide each league

[@LongX49]

bro take a rest. those eyebags damn

[@Lolcohol]

Getting on nap time right now 😴

[@tamasfreiberger1184]

Your spreadsheet still recommends sin's rebirth, just saying

[@Lolcohol]

Eek thanks for catching that! I'll fix today

[@jorgerobles981]

😀

[@mart0r]

Could this survive HC league start ?

[@Lolcohol]

Almost certainly not haha

[@revdev1234]

first lul

[@Darkauronify]

l love this build thank you s2

[@LastSamurai4796]

You only need the 188 int for the version with obliteration. For CIP it should be only the 150 for dendrobate (155 for lvl 20 flame dash, but that doesnt need to be at lvl 20 necesarily).

[@Lolcohol]

Ah true! Thanks for the reminder ❤️

[@m0nZt3r]

How will you get enough mana for divine blessing now that flask enchant is gone?

[@Lolcohol]

We were never using the Flask enchant lol. We use Eldritch Battery

[@m0nZt3r]

@@Lolcohol lmao I was commenting under wrong video, genius

[@Lolcohol]

Lol I was wondering

GGG Thnks bro Excelent

[@victorusvealip5669]

Damn, you look like played Necropolis yet

[@Lolcohol]

🐼 sleepy time!

[@learnway8016]

Hey Lolcohol. Can i take this into heist for the first week of the league instead of early mapping? Or would you use something else?

[@Lolcohol]

I haven't played this build in Heist before but I imagine it'd be decent! When I did Heist in the past I did TR with very high movement speed - maybe you can find some ways to make adjustments to this to make it a bit faster?

[@arjunratnadev]

dude is there any Assassin variant for this build? I mean really REALLY love Assassin poison builds but I'm too bored for Cobra lash

[@learnway8016]

@@Lolcohol Yeah i looked at TR and i think it is the best. But i am so tired of this skill haha... i think i will start with your build and try out the new pconc before transitioning into BV. Maybe it actually is as good as it looks on paper.

[@EliBuckner-gj5wc]

What do you think of the new pconc?

[@Lolcohol]

Hmm I'm not totally sure. It looks interesting but consumes such an absurd number of charges that I'm not sure it'd be worth to use on this build. I imagine it'll be decent for mapping but awful for bossing :( Snoobae might have a better opinion on it because he has league started it before

[@TheNinjasDen]

Hey dude..been following you from the very beginning of your rise. Love you content. Question if I may, is this build good map clearing? Seems like you have to be very up close? 🤔

[@Lolcohol]

Yeah it's designed as a mapper! The projectiles spread pretty far. We get very good and tanky with a couple pieces of gear closer to red maps. The clear isn't as good as something like LA but it's still solid, and it's not ZHP in its final form. If you want turbo clear then maybe LA would be more your cup of tea? But the clear on this is good!

[@Loser91915]

I loved your BV build but was always in the control... it took a bit of getting the timers right but at extreme endgame was activating WS+BV and Vaal VB+PC the coold downs are vaery close

[@blakeforrester4782]

whats the reason for spiked concotion and having the timeless jewel giving alchemist genius THANKS!!

[@Brian-wj5up]

Bud please tell me you plan on getting some healthy sleep

[@uroboros4428]

I love how every league GGG say "so yeah, we've added this new system and we love it and it's soooo good and you'll love it, and we tested it and sooo goood man, i swear, this was needed cuz it's so good" and then the next league "so....that system that we added last league? we removed it. it was dog shit "

[@TheByrel]

What would you think of Occultist for this build? I'm considering making an occultist BV for the juicy, juicy pops.

[@Lolcohol]

Go Occy if you prefer, but I think that Pathfinder beats out Occultist in almost every possible way - better Wither application, better defence, easier access to suppression, we get similar pops from Obliteration without having to first curse monsters. There are definitely some pros to Occultist but when working on this build initially, Pathfinder was way way better

[@randalcurtis7270]

Promo>SM 👏

[@samgreen8582]

I was just watching your LS from last season lol... I was thinking cold bv tho...

[@Lolcohol]

:D both are good. I do prefer this build as it's tankier and scales skill effect duration more easily, but it doesn't have the same min max potential that cold bv does

[@Lann91]

So its not gonna be an uber farmer, right?

[@Lolcohol]

Nope! It can do ubers with enough investment but isn't remotely designed as a dedicated Uber bosser

[@giorgosbenis]

Lol great vid.Btw,is there any chance after your rest to update the lightning conduit elementalist league start guide?Maybe with the new archmage changes it goes crazy endgame.

[@Lolcohol]

I'd absolutely love to because that was one of my favourite builds, but I really doubt I'll get time to :( I still need to finish up my lightning strike guide! But I'll definitely have a look at it when I can because Lightning Conduit is majorly underrated and I love the idea of pairing it with Archmage!

[@giorgosbenis]

@@Lolcohol Thank you man.Take good rest and we hope to have news from build and new crafting methods.

[@swaggerbuns]

I wouldn't recommend this build for league starting in SSF. I did so in 3.23 and it was absolutely miserable. Should be fine in trade though. Thanks for the content Lolcohol, take care of yourself buddy.

[@Lolcohol]

Ah no I'm sorry to hear that :( I'll be sure to let other people know if they ask about SSF. When testing this I played it up to 85 in SSF and it was fine but not great; not having the uniques makes the build underperform quite significantly

[@SS-Werewolf]

why no loot filter?

[@Lolcohol]

No time unfortunately :(

[@vagomc88]

pantheon?

[@Lolcohol]

I believe it's Brine King and Ralakesh? The PoB should say!

[@장익재-j3h]

In the changed 3.24, I can't put the Withering Step on the left button of the mouse, what do you think of this part?

[@immortal7669]

Do you think we can use mageblood in the endgame variant?

[@Lolcohol]

For sure!
