[3.9?] Sidefx Frost Blades - Hyped for Support +
|
How do you guys have 140-160K DPS on frostblades tooltip??? I am lvl 73 and i only have about 35k-45k dps on tooltip when i have my buffs up, i think... Also for Amulet would it be good to use The Halycon?? its pretty sick imo... Also how do i upload pics of my gear into the post??? Do i just hit ctrl+c over the item ingame? I noticed we use the Ascendancy that says "You gain phasing while you have onslaught." Where are we getting Onslaught from??? I have an EYE jewel with 6% chance to gain onslaught for 4 seconds on kill or am i supposed to be using Onslaught Flask??
Also for eye jewels does it matter if the damage is cold,lighting,fire,phys?? I assume not but i noticed most of you guys have cold dmg to attacks and cold dmg to claw attks jewels. Should i be getting 4 damage mods on Eye Jewels or Crit Multi + Dmg Mods + max life? Also why does this build say to use Atziri's Step??? Doesn't seem that great to me unless using a QotF. Also your build shows alot of 4L setups but u say to use Tombfist and Lightpoacher, which have 2 slots and 3 slots respectively, so which skill gems are u running if that is the case?? Nice build btw its alot of fun i just wish i had over 100k+ dps.. lol maybe when i hit lvl 90 and fill out more of the tree. edit: So atm i am lvl 73, I am using Tabula, Darkness Enthroned Sytgian(2 sockets +50% increase jewel bonus), and Lochtonial Caress Gloves for lvling. Obviously i should probably replace these items as i just finished ACT 10... What chest, gloves, belt shud i get? I am poor mofo... like 300c max... Ill never be able to afford a Shroud of Lightless.. Last edited by Lemieux62690 on Jan 21, 2018, 10:34:36 AM

" I took a look at your character, but let me answer some of your questions: 1. To show your gear in a post, go up to the top of the page where your character is and open up the character pane so it shows your inventory and the like of that current character. Then, hove over an item with your cursor and hit -> CTRL + Left Click (on mouse). If you do it right, you'll link an item like below: You can do this for all items on your character and even jewels in your tree and the like and items in your stash, too. 2. Concerning your passive tree, here are a few recommendations: -- Ditch the Vitality Void cluster and instead pick up Soul Raker in the Claw wheel. You get roughly the same amount of leech with far less point spent and if later on you feel you need VV, then go for it, but for now it's just a point-waster. -- Drop Flash Freeze and the point before it in the cold wheel near the Ranger area. Again, wasted points that don't give you much benefit. Better off putting them in life or damage nodes. -- If you're going to stick with Dual-Wielding, then consider traveling to the Ambidexterity notable right below the Duelist Frenzy Charge. Attack speed is very powerful for an elemental build and one of the best scaling stats you can use. The faster you hit, the more chances you have with keeping up status ailments since you're hitting so much and can proc them more frequently. -- You mentioned the Quartz Infusion notable in your Raider Ascendancy and how you're supposed to get Phasing with Onslaught and how to get Onslaught. Read that notable again, as it has another stipulation -> "You have Phasing while at Maximum Frenzy Charges". This build doesn't rely on Onslaught...it relies on the notable "Way of the Poacher", which says -> "20% chance to gain a Frenzy Charge on Kill" or "20% chance to gain a Frenzy Charge when you Hit a Rare or Unique Enemy". You're supposed to kill and hit those specific enemies to keep your Frenzy Charges up, and if you keep them at the maximum amount you currently have, you'll have Phasing up during that time...Onslaught or not. Personally, I suggest you remove those two Ascendancy points leading up to Quartz Infusion and instead put them in "Avatar of the Slaughter". If you really want Phasing in the meantime, then use a Quartz Flask. AotS not only gives you another Frenzy Charge (and all the benefits it brings by itself), but it also gives you a lot of additional bonuses for having all those Frenzy Charges up. That alone will give your damage a nice boost while running around and you can then build into Quartz Infusion and Avatar of the Veil later on. 3. As for gear choices...biggest thing that you and others should understand...this is a GUIDE for this build. It's not meant to be taken as gospel truth and gear choices are not set in stone, and just because someone says that something might be 'best in slot'...mathematically it could very well be, but the biggest factor in this...is you and your current situation. Some tips: -- Drop Tabula Rasa and get another chest piece like Belly of the Beast, or even a nice Rare with some good life and resists. If you cannot afford a 6-Link, then use a 5-Link and drop one of your gem slots for it. Not having any real stats on your chest piece at this point is hurting your build and making it harder for you to survive, especially if you need resists. There are actually a lot of chest options to choose from, and many are far better than Tabula at this stage of the game where you're at. And again, you don't NEED Shroud of the Lightless...I don't use one on my build and I prefer what I have over it. However, it IS a VERY NICE chest, but not required. -- Gloves...again, if you can't get Tombfist, then go after a pair of Rare gloves with stats on them you might need like Life, Accuracy, and resists. At this point you're looking for building more defense and balancing out your resists rather than just going for raw power. Power can come later, but you'll need to survive to gain levels and more passive points. -- Belt...same as above, or if you can find a decent Stygian Vise, then go with that. If you can't, then a rare Leather Belt works nicely. -- Helmet...if you cannot afford Lightpoacher, then you can continue to use the Rat's Nest, or go with a Starkonja's and don't worry about a lab enchant on it related to Frost Blades. The helmet alone will be a nice boost to both survivability and damage for you until you can get a Lightpoacher's. -- Atziri's Step is a pair of boots that are mainly used for their good life roll as well as the spell dodge if you're going the Acrobatics/Phase Acrobatics route. Or, if you're using a chest piece like this: Which grants the Phase Acrobatics keystone, so all you need to pick up is Acrobatics and the boots. Yes, you're losing out on resists over a rare set or something else, but up to an extra 16% Spell Dodge is nothing to sneeze at. Generally if going the Evasion route with a build like this, you'll have enough Evasion to evade a fair amount of ATTACKS, but Evasion DOES NOT work against spells, so the boots provide some defense for that. And Spell Damage can be extremely deadly, sometimes even more deadly than attacks. All-in-all when it comes to gear, the biggest thing is to be FLEXIBLE and not think that your choices are set in stone. Build around what you have, and explore other options...don't use the guide as an 'It's this or nothing'...use it as a GUIDE and EXPERIMENT. And yes, you'll get higher damage as you fill out the tree, but that is something that comes with time. | |

First, tank's for the Guide, i realy like It
Playng on Xbox and following your Guide and i dont have problems in T5 maps, but I do not have any of the suggested items, it's much more expensive here in xbox! | |

thanks for the info! ill definitely do what you recommend! Yeah i was just following the guys PoB link for skill tree, thats why i have Vitality Void and Flash Freeze etc... What chest piece do you use?? Do you use that Phase Acrobatics one?? ALso my friend gave me a Queen of the Forest to use in the meantime should i use that its a 5L. I just got the Rats Nest from a friend as well but i could afford a lightpoacher as they are only 1 chaos lol... Unless you meant to get a Lightpoacher with 2 abyssal sockets, which i could Afford but would leave me broke.
Edit: Oh i have one more question Tanakaeh what do you recommend for Abyssal Jewels, should i get 4 Dmg Mods on it or Max life and 3 dmg mods or Max Life, Crit Multy and 2 Dmg Mods??? Thoughts? Also i don't really understand the benefit of Acrobatics, it says 30% chance to dodge attacks but -50% armour and energy shield AND -30% chacne to block spells and attacks.. So you gain chance to dodge attacks but lose a big percent to dodge spells??? Last edited by Lemieux62690 on Jan 21, 2018, 6:56:13 PM

Por que não consigo ler o conteúdo do "show"?

" It says -30% chance to BLOCK spells/attacks. With the perfect form chest, you gain phase acrobatics which grants 30% chance to DODGE spells ! (Salut copain des hauts-de-france :p ) As for me, I'd like to know on what I should focus next. I feel like I need more DPS (35K displayed in hideout), but I'm also afraid of getting one shotted by heavy physical bursts. (I just need to dodge and position well for this I guess lol). Also, I have only 3k5 hp D: I don't know how much DPS I am going to get with the next critical chance/multiplier nodes, but I hope it will ease my maps clearing. I can't afford stuff like pandemonius, and I don't know if getting a 5-L perfect form will be worth it in terms of survivability (~40c if I buy one directly with the 5L) And buying this kind of unique item will force me to buy expensive rings/belt to cap all the resistances ! Current gear :

So what do you think should be the next step for me ? I have read this post

" Carnage Heart dosen't do anything, replace it with a rare ammy or pandemonius | |
" Ammy???what exactly would it be? | |
|
"You have 2 curses, but can only run 1" - One is for trash proccing off mobs that shatter.. The other is for single target bossing where you have no mobs to shatter. You wont have both up. does this mean that when the mobs shatter with Herald of Ice , Assassin's Mark activate while you proc the other curse using orb of storm? |

I use The Halycon but its a bit expensive, so is The Pademonius though. Its worth though, id recommend one of those two.
