Most of you guys have been getting into Incursion league for weeks, so I'd like to know what 3.3 builds did you find for your Incursion journey? Or you are just looking for some better builds? This time, I am going to share you 4 Blade Vortex builds for Elementalist Witch players. Ok, let's get started:
Blade Vortex (often referred to as BV) is a spell that creates an ethereal blade that spins around the caster that deals physical damage, each blade lasting for the minimum duration of 5 seconds.
1. [PoE 3.3]Disintegrator BV Elementalist [All Content Viable] Uber Elder Down
Heyo about this build we'll concentrate on the new Weapon Disintegrator and make around it,
it brings huge Phys dps, chaos dmg and a few leech/phys dmg reduction
If you're searching for any beginner or starter friendly Blade Vortex guide this really is most likely the incorrect place because it requires a minimum of employees, a lvl 3 enlighten and phys to cold watchers eye, I would suggest checking other guides within this section, or simply ask me any queries :)
Since 3.3 Elementalist is the greatest offensive option for Blade Vortex, only Elementalist enables us to make use of Herald of Ice/Fire and Hate while still getting a good mana pool and obtain 25% transmission on the top of this. To overlook these Auras would hurt the develop a lot.
Pros
Spoiler
-High Dmg
-Freezes everything, even map bosses
-Tanky, with Kaom's, lots of rares etc
-Fun to play, everyone loves to play BV right?
-High end content possible
-Disintegrator looks amazing
Cons
Spoiler
-Not beginner friendly, requires some PoE Currency and good flask managament, movement
-Degen can be a bitch, especially against phase bosses where u cant leech
-Clear/movemenspeed is good but there are better builds if u are looking for fast clearing maps, its more a boss killer
-Cant do ele reflect maps/atziri if you took Beacon of Ruin
Ascendant
We are going obviously for Pendulum of Destruction to get that aoe and extra dmg
Mastermind of Discord to get mana reservation and penetration
Shaper of Desolation is so fucking good, get it omg. lets us freeze/ignite/shock everything
I opted for the final Point for Beacon of Ruin to spread ignite around, aids in clearspeed, also bosses will be chilled and shocked so hypothermia jewel provides for us 100% uptime effect
you can also go for paragon of calamity for more leech, some dmg and to do ele ref maps/atziri
Pantheon
Soul of Ralakesh is important here, it reduces the dmg we take from Disintegrator when we are walking, which we basicly always do
Soul of Solaris as Major, helps against bosses

2. [PoE 3.3 Video Guide] Blade Vortex Inpulsa Clear Speed Build [Elementalist]
Build Enabling/Enhancing Items:
Inpulsa is the main big item we are using to enhance our general clear speed with. You can play the build without it but will be a bit slower.
The most crucial unique item is really a super cheap set of Hrimsorrow which converts 50% of the physical harm to cold, this combined with support jewel "Physical to Lightning" you're not dealing any physical damage whatsoever, enabling you to run Physical Reflect folded maps and you're both shocking & freezing your opponents reliably with crits.
Defence & Utility
The build utilizes a lot of crits allowing you to reliably freeze & shock your enemies on top of a few other minor tweaks listed blow;
A simple CWDT setup combined with Immortal Call is there to help you vs Bone Husks & Porcupines.
Here is a link to a downloadable calculator for how much effective HP you'll have with Mind Over Matter: Mind Over Matter eHP Calculator
Pantheon Choices:
Major God:
- Soul of the Brine King
Helps you avoid getting chain stunned.
Minor God:
- Soul of Shakari
Makes you immune to poison damage if you upgrade it.
Leveling Tips:
If you want, by patch 3.3 we could rather easily lvl as Blade Vortex, by which situation starting off by supporting it with gems like:
Added Fire, Added Cold,, Added Lightning.
The Cold & Lightning are later substituted with Controlled Destruction & Elemental Focus till we achieve greater lvl & gearing to follow along with the jewel section for that finish-game gems.
You should use Magma Orb till you're able to lvl 12, after which you need to change to a Firestorm jewel rather. This can carry a lengthy way, should you made a decision to lvl using the lvling tree displayed within the guide it's using Spell Totem which you need to connect to your Firestorm along with anything that provides dmg for example Added Cold, Added Lightning, and then in act 2 when you're able to to obtain better support gems you need to use: Controlled Destruction, Elemental Focus and Faster Casting. This can literally carry you till lvl 68-70 by which point you would purchase the Hrimsorrow and make room to presenting Blade Vortex. (Bear in mind that whenever you hit lvl 40, you would buy 2 weapons to possess inside your second weapon slot that you are not using with 3 eco-friendly sockets and fill all 6 of these with Blade Vortex gems to make certain you've high lvl gems whenever you perform the change, you may also vaal these for lvl 21 afterwards!).
Other available choices for lvling is to buy the brink jewel Frozen Trail, this enables you to definitely change Firestorm for Frostbolt and it is highly efficient, though bear in mind that you'll want 2 of individuals jewels so that it is much better than Firestorm!

3. [PoE 3.3] Triple Herald Blade Vortex Elementalist
This is actually the Triple Herald Elementalist Blade Vortex build - my attempt to help make the Elementalist great again. Great all-rounder, viable for those content.
Blade vortex has been reworked:
Now has 35% increased hit rate for each blade (up from 10%).
Now deals 35% more damage with hits and ailments for each blade (up from 30% for hits and 20% for ailments).
Now has 10% increased critical strike chance for each blade.
Now has a limit of 10 active spinning blades (down from 20).
Pros
+ Good clear speed
+ Good single target damage
+ Pretty tanky - 7-8k eHP
+ Fairly cheap to gear, not gated behind rare/expensive uniques. Good league starter, SSF is possible.
+ Scales exceptionally well in the end-game.
+ Witch
Cons
- Blade vortex mechanics may feel clunky to some
- Have to be in melee range to deal damage
Mapping
Simply keep on spinning and whirling blade into packs while popping flasks. Everything gets chilled, shocked and frozen and then just explodes.
How to handle tough map mods:
Elemental reflect - can't do, reroll
Hexproof - use Berek's Grip ring
No regen - bring a mana flask
Can't leech - heavy flask work, consider rerolling
Bosses
Drop orb of storms to get arcane surge going, spin up to max blades, pop flasks and go to town.
Use Concentrated Effect if your dps is lacking. and some poe exalted orb is also needed when you are going to do this in new league.
Build Theory
The renewed Elementalist ascendancy offers a good synergy with the Blade Vortex skill and the heralds.
The Pendulum of Destruction gives a very visible and welcome AoE boost or elemental damage boost when you need it.
The build uses all three elements via damage conversion and extra elemental damage:
Cold with the Hrimsorrow gloves
Lightning with the Physical to Lightning support
Fire with the Herald of Ash and the Added Fire Damage support
Whatever extra elements you get from the shaped weapons
So when using the Mastermind of Discord ascendancy with all three Heralds you get that 25% elemental penetration on everything.
With the Shaper of Desolation all your hits - not just critical ones - apply elemental ailments.
The Beacon of Ruin makes your elemental ailments stronger and spreads them to all nearby enemies.
Bandits: Help Alira.
Crit multiplier, resists, mana regen - the lot, everything is useful for this build.
Ascendancy:
Pendulum of Destruction -> Mastermind of Discord -> Shaper of Desolation -> Beacon of Ruin
Pantheon:
Major: Brine King (prevents stunlocks)
Minor: Gruthkul (phys damage reduction) or Shakari (poison immunity)

4. [PoE 3.3] Blade Vortex Quad Aura Guide - League Starter
For Incursion, I needed to possess my league starter be a couple of things. One, something I have not performed before, and 2, a spell that got buffed in the new patch. I stumbled upon a couple of guides for blade vortex and lately were left with this final build like me level 88 entering yellow/red maps. This build is decent league starter as you do not need much and also to advance to late game you will not need much investment particularly with products getting cheaper every day.
3.3 Changes
Even though the max amount of charges got cut in half, the spell received buffs to negate the change to max blades. The spell is now a lot smoother to play as you don't need to wait for a lot of stacks to dash through packs. Also, this change allows for you to use another damage support in replace of Spell Echo.
Pros
-Good league starter
-High Damage output
-Decent life pool (5-6k)
-Melts bosses (not sure about red map bosses yet though)
Cons
-Still have to stop and recast BV in between each 3-4 packs.
-Not the tankiest build even with 6k life.
-Not the fastest lab farmer

Finally, I want to remind you that you can always purchase PoE Currency from our website, we will offer cheap and safe Path of Exile Currency/Item/Orb to all PoE players and fans, all you need to do is visit https://www.poecurrencybuy.com/.
