[3.9?] Sidefx Frost Blades - Hyped for Support +

Hello Again,

What Body armour u think is the best choice for this build?

Thanks!

245k dps without abyssus, charges, flasks (PoB) // 400k with frenzy charge + 5.5k hp. Is this enough for high maps/uber/guards?

How does this build handle other end game content besides Shaper? Uber Aztiri? Guardians? T15+ maps etc?

Also why dont you guys have 40 dex in the radius of the new jewels?

Guardians are not that much trouble. Hardest one is Minotaur for me because sometimes bad mods makes him one shot you.

Uber Atziri is very hard for this build if you make no changes due to the 4 split add phase. If any of your frost blades hits the clone holding the mirror you will die to the reflect damage. You have to use strong rare physical DPS claws and take out Multistrike gem for a different gem like Faster Attacks to do Uber Atziri comfortably.

So yes, Frost Blades can do all content, but Uber Atziri is super annoying and not worth really doing on this build.

Also, please read the a billion responses about the jewels. It gets asked 4-5 times a day. You don't need to allocate the dex for it to work, it just needs to be in range.

Thank you Kajean for once again being the MVP and helping answer peoples questions, I am just so busy anymore and only have time to answer when I am streaming. also Guys NEW VERSION coming OUT SOON!! keep a eye out.. ;) HUGE DPS

@outofmilk, Kaejan has included a PoB link to the setups in the youtube description

@Kaejan, I looked over your build a bit on PoB and found the top skilltree choices interesting, though if you have another good jewel, I think this setup performs slightly better:
https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/3.0.0/AAAABAIBAFb6W68UdY25bzvAGti9vebQrZAKZK_vejWStfINjQ-rpMI31P1uwaB4DaluAF7fb_zFbIwV_cPmeBllTWwIY3B34yaVQzFirBa_wuzUI--PvTZB0BX2TiqxfF3yWhqJ07TFgaw-z02S51TuDgW1PL5VS9YHijh07SP2jYHndPGKwzq-p9rBk5AM8kd-035ieejWMHxXl896RfQILod27T96hKl5LlMi6m9XEdWbjeRq7YONvyo4jX2MNmBBMgEki3BSYeJ_K6XLhMWE2djVUUdM_wUtGY4ABiT9mheSgF9wm7UqC8Mz_96DbbIZFybIzNNv2-dKfQHc

However, going for the top nodes is probably a better budget idea. Or, I guess if you want to go for more dps, getting the top nodes allows you to go for throatseeker towards lvl 100 which would be a nice dps boost. I guess it comes down to whether you want more damage or health.

You are right! I didn't think another jewel slot would give me more DPS than Claws of the Falcon but it turns out you are right. That tree gives me more health AND DPS. Also gives me more strength to not have to require it on my gear. Thanks.

edit: You need a really OP jewel for it to be better though. 3x crit multi and another DPS stat. I can't find any on poe.trade atm.

Thank your for this build, before the 3.0 i played EK this build is more efficacelly but I find the same problem facing bosses

In 3.0, the bosses have more life so it's really hard to kill they and the mobs with elemental reflect = dead immediately.

If somebody have a solved the issue of survivability, thank you for sharing your solution. Perhaps played with full armor + shield or evasion with aura grace i don't know.

Thank you again for this build is funny but it's really missed the survivability.

Don't use Abyssus while mapping, stop using big dick DPS ring and get more life. Use a Taste of Hate for max cold res. I have never died to reflect mobs and I am 5 levels higher than you in the challenge league. One time I even ran a reflect map and didn't even notice until half way through.

@Kajean

I see that your build is fantastic for clearing maps etc since you have a HH and from reading your posts. What map tiers do you normally farm? Do you struggle with the map bosses? Can you kill the guardians and shaper?

Thanks for great insight!

Funny build, but so weak vs high-tier boss fights ...
With 5.1k HP u can get one-shot from any t14+ (even with fortify and enfeeble on boss) with extra dmg / boss dmg. So risky with guardians and shaper. I think DW eva build its trash :(

I farmed T11-T16 for HH. I didn't do only shaped maps either. Just simply did every map. It is more efficient to do only Shaped maps though. I just wanted to test the density changes in 3.0 (tl;dr: bad maps are still bad...).

I killed all guardians and I posted a Shaper kill video in Harbinger earlier in this thread.

I won't lie, this build isn't amazing at single target. Boss health changes made it very dangerous to do T15+ bosses. However, when I was leveling to 95 I had 6k HP with Kaom's Roots and some more life passives on tree, so it wasn't that bad really. Yes, I would skip T15 bosses with bad mods like twinned or something and Minotaur would often one shot me with bad mods, but that's just how it is with builds focused on map farming.

If you want an EZ mode boss killer, then I'd go a pet build or a bow build with Kaom's Heart. This build maps faster than those builds though. Clear speed of Raider is OP.

edit: to make this into an OP boss killer you would probably need a 400+ DPS rare claw with crit and put on a strong shield. That would cost probably 30ex+ though.

Someone test Kitsugi / Lightning Coil + Taste of Hate vs oneshot bosses like mino?
