Just get Prim Soro, Mark of Submission, and boom, you're ready to slay. So, who's ready to wreak havoc in the new league? 🌀🔥

Overview

Greetings, Exiles! The new league is about to start, and that means it's time to choose a league starter. In this video, I will be discussing why I chose the Cold Blade Vortex Occultist build, its strengths, weaknesses, and what it can offer. Whether you're a seasoned player or a newcomer, this build might just be what you're looking for.

Why Choose Cold Blade Vortex?

The answer to this question is very simple. It's a good skill that has quite a lot of damage, even with mediocre gear, which is crucial at the beginning of a new league. Blade Vortex scales very well in the late game, offering over 20 million DPS, making it a strong contender for your league starter.

At the same time, the Occultist class, specifically her Explosions Profane Bloom, provides one of the best sources of explosions in the game for free. This allows for efficient map clearing and Atlas progression, even with basic items and gear. The build's flexibility is another compelling factor, allowing for different aura adjustments and playstyle modifications to suit your preferences.

Upgrading Your Gear

Now let's talk about the items needed for the build. First and foremost, we need to focus on acquiring two unique items: Prim Soro and Mark of Submission. These items are essential, but fortunately, they are common and affordable, even at the beginning of the league.

The next stages of upgrading involve acquiring a five-link armor energy shield base, Doran's Invitation with cold damage, and other specific items that greatly enhance the build's capabilities.

Build Progression

The flexibility of the Cold Blade Vortex Occultist allows for various progression paths, whether it's focusing on power charges stacking, map farming, or full magic find build. As the league progresses, the build adapts, allowing for a dynamic playstyle.

Leveling and Campaign

Blade Vortex can be used from Level 38, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable leveling experience. Despite its reputation, the skill is more than capable of handling the campaign and offers good damage, even in acts.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Cold Blade Vortex Occultist build presents a solid choice for a league starter. Its flexibility, scalability, and efficiency make it a compelling option for both beginners and experienced players looking for a fresh start in the new league.
