Have you tried Increased crit strikes over ice bite? Just curious. I'm about to pick up my 5L and I'm nearing the same place as you in gear.
not yet but i don't seem to need more crit, i shatter every pack, have both power and frenzy charges up 99% of the time. i can give more stats when i'll be home(crit chance with power charges and flasks, dps buffed, etc)
i feel like my uptime on power charges is super low and i have 2 claws of anguish..... mobs are never cursed with assasins mark.
what is going on?
Elemental Focus.

I recommend using Path of Building. When I enable Diamond Flask and Power Charges I have 68.19% crit chance. These are the DPS contributions of those gems as a 6th link:
- Increased Crit Strikes: 13.5% more DPS (increases crit chance to 82.8% chance to crit)
- Increased Crit Damage: 29.7 more DPS
- Added Cold Damage: 32.4% more DPS
- Ice Bite: 35.5% more DPS
Ice Bite and Cold Damage are almost twice as powerful as increased crit strikes. You do not need 80%+ crit. You attack too fast with this build to care. Crit damage gem is also stronger than the crit strikes.
For any of you asking for which gems are stronger, you really should just use Path of Building.
Thanks - you're right, I'll start using PoB to simulate my own character.
Did swap out ICS for Ice Bite though and the difference is actually kinda crazy... wasn't expecting that.

One question, why we've this?
Herald of ice - Curse on hit - Assassin's mark - hatred
Orb of storms - Curse on hit - Power Charge on crit -Frostbite
We repeat curse on hit twice? It's 4 blue sockets, checking the items you showed us at uniques items there's no any 4 blue sockets, im wrong?

Has anyone tested Ruthless Support? https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Ruthless_Support
it's a good 6l?
Frost Blades > Multistrike > Elemental Damage > Ice Bite > Added Cold Damage > Ruthless
Or change Ruthless with Cold Pen?

Couple of things:
1.) You didn't go into Winter Spirit, so your damage isn't being completely converted to cold. This is also reducing the effectiveness of your Cold Penetration gem.
2.) We try to focus on passives that affect both the melee and ranged portion of Frost Blades, so taking projectile nodes in the tree is inefficient (especially since the projectiles are mostly useless on bosses).
3.) You've missed several of the largest contributing DPS passives in the tree (Fangs of Frost, Winter Spirit, Claws of the Pride but I think you're heading that way).
4.) You're on a 4link. If you're mapping, you should already have at least enough currency to buy a 5link (roughly 1 chaos).
5.) Finish using whetstones on your weapons.
6.) Your life for where you are in maps is fine. If you need more survivability, you can get a corrupted Kaom's Roots for cheaper and spec into Iron Reflexes (I noticed I started dying much less frequently when I did this).
7.) Ultimately a lot of your survivability is from leeching and you need more damage before you're getting back enough life from that.
Thanks for the help, I got a 5L chest for 2c with some decent hp and going to level a little bit to get the Winter Spirit node and the other damage nodes. Single target damage seems to be way better now too.

Can't view your characters, do you have them set to private?
