Obliteration wands are receiving a massive buff in the upcoming Lake of Kalandra which is a good enough reason itself to try again the Blade Vortex as it has always been a great league starter build that requires next to no investment to get things rolling.
Build Pros
- One of the best league starters
- Doesn't rely on specific uniques to get started
- Good clear speed
- Good single target damage
Build Cons
- Not the fastest build in the game
