Hey Exiles! If you're scouting for a build that's a powerhouse in mapping and Expedition, plus a champ in the new mechanics and Ultimatum, say hello to the Poison Blade Vortex Pathfinder. It's a build that danced through the last Ancestor league with flying colors and now, with 3.23 tweaks, it's even more lethal. Ideal for moving and grooving through enemies, this build offers high damage uptime, sweet explosions from the Obliteration Wand, and robust defenses thanks to its Pathfinder lineage.

↖ Strengths and Weaknesses
- A beast in Expedition, breach, and mapping.
- Tanky, newbie-friendly, with a support squad on Discord.
- Wallet-friendly and scales like a champ.
- Not a one-hit wonder against bosses.
- Sanctum running and Legion? Maybe not its cup of tea.
- Blade Vortex only kicks in at level 60, but hey, Poisonous Concoction is a blast.
↖ PoE 3.23 Changes
- Blade Vortex Buff: Think of it like your favorite pizza getting an extra topping for free. More Flat Fizz at level 20? Yes, please!
- Quality Overhaul: Crit's out, hit rate's in. We're rolling with the punches and boosting AOE to compensate.
- Plague Bearer & Withering Step Buffs: Like upgrading from a squirt gun to a fire hose – more damage, better debuffs.
- Helmet Enchant Loss: Lost the enchant, but we've got skills to pay the bills. Skill effect duration's got our back.
↖ Affliction and Unknown Changes
We're on the edge of our seats here. Transfigured gems and new ascendancies? Wildwood Prim less ascendancy is looking like a hot ticket item. Stay tuned to our channels for the freshest updates!
↖ Path of Building Breakdown
Starting off, we're mixing cocktails with Poisonous Concoction, then smoothly cruising into Blade Vortex territory around level 60. Check out the PoB for a step-by-step guide to greatness.

↖ Items
- Dendrobate: It's like the heart of your build. Aim for 300 dexterity, and watch the fireworks.
- Obliteration Wand: For when you want your enemies to go 'boom.'
- Zal's Amplifier: The secret sauce for Eldritch Battery builds.
- Ming's Heart: Extra chaos damage? Oh, heck yes.
- Flasks: The lifeline of any self-respecting exile. Don't leave home without 'em!
↖ Gem & Skill Setup
Kicking off with a 5-link setup, we're cozying up with Grace and Purity of Elements. For utility, Plague Bearer and Withering Step are your go-tos, and Despair's the cherry on top. Mobility? Shield Charge and Flame Dash have got you covered.
↖ Early Map Mastery
Post Poisonous Concoction to Blade Vortex switcheroo, we're focusing on life, evasion, and skill effect duration. Eldritch Battery is the MVP here, opening up the aura playground.
↖ Main Version
Say hello to an even more badass Dendrobate and Obliteration Wand, plus the Dawnbreaker Colossal Shield for when things get dicey. The skill roster stays pretty much the same, but watch out for the second curse dropping in later.
↖ Spreadsheet Saga
This spreadsheet's got more info than a library. From leveling guides to gear prioritization, it's your one-stop-shop for turning from a zero to a league hero.
In the market for a build that's as dynamic as it is deadly? The Poison Blade Vortex Pathfinder is your golden ticket in the 3.23 Affliction League. Suit up, get your game face on, and let's make some poison rain!
