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

Evasion is terrible unless you go full evasion stacking on everything + Jade+Stibnite flasks. Might as well go a 4.5k health Queen of the Forest build if you care about evasion. This build tries to stack as much HP as it can (albeit not very much due to being a ranger and needing the DPS nodes in tree) and just leech back the life you lost instantly. If you map without Elemental Focus you will pretty much freeze every single mob in the map without it having a chance to fight you unless they use projectiles. For projectile monsters you have CWDT - Immortal call and then you leech back to full when you reach them.

Your worst enemies in this build are things that one shot you (thank god Volatile is nerfed) and chaos degen damage. I took the chaos degen resistance pantheon to mitigate the chaos issue as well as using Atziri's Promise instead of Wise Oak (Wise Oak was nerfed this patch).

Nice equipment mate, especially the jewels :-)
ok so i got 2 of the claws
Herald of ice - Curse on hit - Assassin's mark is not generating charges. mb bc thigns either get 1shot or rares take longer? idk but im getting 0 power charges

EDIT *** ok i got 1 power charge about about 12 maps, 1...
this cant be a viable option

What is a better option for a 5l??
honestly this build feel like shit, i know it's early when you lvl 70, but how do you supposed to get enough life?

I have barely 3k and invested heavily, changed half of my gear. And fucking claws prices are off the charts.

Still i feel my last build (voltaxic ranger with 10k ES) felt far superior than this. Even it's new expansion and new league i don't want to farm at all. You post to ppl to buy something, noone answers lol. How to buy unique item on poe.trade that isn't overpriced? But we'll see i guess. Time to play football manager to rise from Vanarama North.
I just want my dern claws back when they were chump change ;-;
why this the claws.. is this only generating PC's like 1x every 10min?
What is better enchant on helmet? Frost blades dmg or Frost blades projectile speed?
ofc dmg

Curses attached to Herald of Ice via Curse On Hit are only applied from the explosion that occurs when you kill a frozen enemy. You're running Elemental Focus, which is preventing you from freezing mobs aside from the procs you get from your Touch of Anguish claws. You should really only be using Elemental Focus on bosses, take it out when you're clearing trash and you'll frequently be at max power charges.
