Heyo on this build we will focus on the new Weapon Disintegrator and build around it,
it brings huge phys dps, chaos dmg and some leech/phys dmg reduction. Do you want to poe buy items? If you do, you can visit U4GM to have more guides and methods about this.
If you are looking for a beginner or starter friendly Blade Vortex guide this is probably the wrong place as it requires atleast the staff, i would recommend checking other guides in this section, or just ask me any questions.
Why Elementalist?
Since 3.2 Elementalist is the best offensive choice for Blade Vortex, only Elementalist allows us to use Herald of Ice/Fire and Hatred while still having a decent mana pool and get 25% penetration on top of that. To miss any of these Auras would hurt the build alot. Elementalist also allows us to shock with full effect, freezes/chill and ignites with decent damage.
The 4sec 75% aoe best is very welcome aswell, helps alot with clearspeed
All these points together make Elementalist the best Ascendant choice.
HC Viable?
Yes, definitely is. You have to get less elder/shaper items, more hp nodes and oak as bandit to completely remove the degen, you get less damage but 2-3mio dps is still more than decent isnt it?

Cons
