[PoE 3.13 Build] Blade Vortex Marauder (Chieftain)

Intro & build description

Not your regular Blade Vortex build. Choosing chieftain as an ascendancy provides us with multiple very strong benefits such as built-in physical to fire conversion, life leech, life regeneration, and overall tankiness. This will be my build of choice in this upcoming league as it is a great build to start in a fresh economy since it is not reliant on anything to perform very well.

 

Build Pros

  • League starter build
  • High sustainability
  • High damage
  • Cheap to start with. Build scales exceptionally with invested currency

Build Cons

  • Not as mobile or as fast as wander/ranger builds
