[3.15] Fivers Frost Blades Raider (Outdated)
" You can actually make the build work well with a foil as well, but I prefer claws. The survivability you get from claws is great, not only the LGoH, but also the node Soul Raker in the passive tree. With foils you need to either spend points just to get leech, or you need to find it on gear. You need to remake the build a bit if you want to use foils though. Don't panic. |

" I recommend that you get a Vaal Ancestral Warchief for some extra burst damage. Aside from that, all your skills are the way they should. Getting your last ascendancy would be big. Nothing else to say about your passive tree really. It looks about the way it should at your current level. The main thing is your items. One thing to point out in general before we go into specific items, is that you have a very low lifepool. This is something that you should adress asap. A really big upgrade for you would be to get new rings. You should get a Mark of the Elder, and a shaped ring. That combination is ridiculously strong, and MotE is cheap now. Ideally you want the ring to have assassins mark on it, but that's not first priority. The most important part is that it's a shaped ring so you get the bonus from MotE. Get Shaper's Touch. They give both damage and life. They are BiS. If you can get +frenzy charge on the implicit that's ideal, but expensive atm. They will drop to 10c in the coming week I think. You should replace Bloodseeker with a Wasp Nest if you need more damage. Bloodseeker has pretty bad attack speed and does less damage than Wasp Nest. You can also use Touch of Anguish in main hand instead of Wasp Nest, but Touch of Anguish has a pretty weird integration with freeze, which makes Wasp Nest better imo. I also highly recommend swapping to a shield in offhand. You can get damage from the shield by crafting chance to deal double damage, or cold damage as extra chaos. But the main part is resists and life. Which will both be important when you swap rings, since you won't get any res from MotE. Hyrri's Truth is not a bad amulet early on, but it offers no life. A decent rare amulet with some crit multiplier and EDWAS or added physical/cold can do the same or more damage, while also providing resists and life. You can craft more EDWAS on the belt. you have 17% on it, but you can craft as high as 32%. The flasks have pretty bad rolls. Lion's Roar is only 20% which is the lowest roll, and getting it to 25% is actually a pretty huge upgrade. Same with Atziri's Promise. I highly recommend getting a Lethal Pride jewel when you can. It will fix any strength issues you might have, while also potentially giving you lots of good bonuses. I got very lucky, but I have 15% chance to deal double damage on mine. That's a straight up 15% dps increased from a single jewel. You can get crazy good ones. You should try to get a body armour with some life on it, until you can afford a farrul's fur, which is obviously not a priority right now. Don't panic.

Oh, Fiver, you literally infected me with a frost blades. Third league in a row its my main char!
Tomorrow i going to play in casino. First is roulette (craft a claw, have a fractured one with 27 attack speed) and second is black jack (stygian belt with t1 edwas, life and some resists) I hope 11 exalts and 500 alts will be enough at least to one piece of gear...

" Nice! Good luck on the craft! Don't panic. |

Hi Fiver,
Thanks for guide took a while to adjust and modify to make it work for my usage with current items in standard. https://pastebin.com/raCps677 if you are free and have time, feel free to advice where else I could do better or improve min-maxing. Frost bomb is a manual cast for me just like totem but rarely needed except boss I guess. I prefer to play/setup min-max in a way without needing to click anything other than main skill / flasks unless swapping gems. I do not have berserk, vaal haste, ancestral protector/warchief on the POB numbers. Thanks~ |

" I'll have a look when I can, preparing for my stream at the moment though, so might be a while. Don't panic. |

Starting my stream in about 5 minutes. If you need anything, feel free to stop by. I won't bite.. hard.

" No worries please take your time. Since its standard please dont hesitate to suggest anything even mirrored-tier items = ) I've run out of ideas haha! Just making use as much of my bow conversion gear as possible as well. Bored of TS+Barrage. With current setup, Assasin's Mark effect enchant does better than Frostblade Enchant @ POB Also is Legacy Abyssus worth using? HH vs Rylasta belt for mapping should be HH yea?

Hi Fiver! I'm loving the build so far, but I don't understand one thing: wouldn't Supreme Ego prevent me from using Herald of Ice and Precision once I take it?
|
|
" Heralds dont count as auras so you only loose Precision which is worth it damage wise. Last edited by KackboonN1#1000 on Apr 24, 2021, 4:35:45 AM
