POE Betrayal Pathfinder Blade Flurry Starter Build - Fast Speed, Cheap, High Damage
This build uses Blade Flurry as the main skill. It's still fine for clear speed. It's not your clear 2 screens with one massive projectile skill clear speed, but with enough attack speed you can just WB>hold for half a second and move on.
With this build, you can grow quickly and need a little cost. The respectable damage will amaze you.

Pantheons
Your major god should be Arakaali upgraded with a divine vessel used to Capture Arachnoxia from Toxic Sewers. This gives the benefit of giving you 50% increased life recovery whenever Immortal Call activates and stops Blood Rage's Damage over Time. In my opinion this interaction is overpowered.
I use the upgraded Garukhan for my minor god. But until you're able to clear Dig with a divine vessel, you should use Ralakesh.

Flasks
1. Divine Life Flask
Prefix: Either Bubbling (50% of recovery applied instantly) or Seething (Recovery applied instantly, but less total recovered).
Suffix: Either of Staunching (Removes bleeding) or of Heat (Removes freeze and chill). I would recommend Staunching.
2. Quicksilver Flask
Prefix: Your choice between Chemist's (Reduced charges used) Experimenter's (Increased duration) or Perpetual (Charges recover faster).
Suffix: Adrenaline (Additional increased movement speed) is my mandate. You've gotta have the need for speed.
3. Silver Flask
Prefix: Chemist's, Experimenter's, or Perpetual.
Suffix: Depending on your other flask choices, either of Heat (Removes freeze and chill) or of Warding (Immune to curses). I would recommend of Heat.

In this build, Blade Vortex is the main skill.

This build is very cheap to get going. Even with brigthbeak nerf it would be very fast clearer. It is tankier than elementalist but it can't kill the whole screen with inpulsas. MF is enough to support this build.
