Most Popular POE 3.9 Vortex Occultist Build Guide


INTRO:
Vortex is an instant cast, cooldown based aoe spell that causes an initial small hit and then a cold DoT for its duration. This build was not created by me, but this build is awesome. This build is the guide for Vortex Occultist and It's making sure that the build can level with just rares and get to the mid-tier maps with cheap uniques. The build utilizes Chaos Inoculation which makes you 100% immune to all sources of chaos damage including poison. However, you'll have 1 HP and therefore need to cover yourself with Energy Shield alone. This is not suggested for early levels and this guide will cover the transition and workarounds to get yourself to CI.

Besides this, the build slows enemies down and utilizes a massive EHP pool to be as tanky as possible. For higher budget builds you can also throw in Temporal Chains allowing for even more slow effects on enemies. With the use of Solstice Vigil. The PoB will have the same contents as this thread as well as leveling trees and weapon sets for Staves/Dualwielding either wands or scepters and 1h+Shield.
