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

This build is so much fun until i hit the red maps and died a few times having problems with bosses. Then i switch to my ele wander and found a taste of hate. Taste of hate is probably the best boss killer here replacing then second life flask and currently doing t14 with no problem at all. Will try t15 and guardian soon

Hi, I'm a new player and I was following Neversink's TS build for a while but I don't find it fun and I prefer claws so I was asking whether I can still use this guide. I'm level 51 with 9 regret points and I have 23 different trees. I'm at cruel act 2 and I heard that I can get more regret points as I continue doing cruel/merciless (plus get 5 orbs of regrets) to balance it out. Is it worth it? I was thinking that I'll get to level 70 because most items in this guide require level 70 and then reset my points...will that work?

Edit : So I noticed that there isn't an option for levelling gear...any suggestions?

Level 26 use 2 Ewar's mirage until you can use touch of anguish is what i did.

3.0 update?

Hi, this my take on this build. clear speed is insane and i now dont have issues with single target target.

here are my items:



would like to change gloves to spiked gloves but with similar stats, its hella expensive(mine is self-crafted).

im sitting at 125k dps on HO, about 188k 55% crit chance and 503 multi on hatred and HoI and ice golem and 5.6k life.

the only issue however is, even single rare reflect monster could almost kill me, yet alone those porcupines.

oh yes abyssus, well i was once on starkonja, yeah great life, some crit chance, dies almost always. with abyssus tho, on the contrary of its inc phys dmg taken, i somehow survive more due to mobs dying faster and better dmg = better leech.

any tips to improve this a bit more?

im thinking of going 1 hand claw + shield but im gonna lose 125% crit chance on tree and a lot more on weapons. also gonna lose significant dps. thoughts?


EDIT: found a good way to somehow smash them all porcupines and survive. a stibnite flask somehow does the job :D

Abyssus may seem counter intuitive but it seems better than starkonja and i really like it. I have been dieing too much with Starkonja. Abyssus adds like 50% damage from 80k to now 120k in hideout with golem. I can do higher map tier now. Will test out more with abyssus as well as the stibnite flask. Should i replace my Onslought flask for stibnite?

well ive been testing out different flasks too, and a stibnite flask really helped with those porcupines. single rare reflect still poses a potential problem tho. when the projectile chains back to the reflect rare, its insta death lol.


all in all, my dps is real good right now i even tried core and dps is more than enough. right now my only worries are those effin reflect mobs that could kill me randomly while mapping, and im actually running out of options.

Oh god iv been dieing too much and stuck at 10% the whole day at lv93 with Abyssus. Currently I have swap out the totem link for another set of CWDT-IDuration-ImmortalCall-Molten Shell as well as the Onslaught flask for Atziri promise. Seems to be doing a bit better. But with Abyssus watching my life tanks gave me heart attack at times lol.

Im running Life Beedflask, Atziri Promise, Wise oak, Taste of hate and speed flask.

I am trying the build ( currently lvl 93 at 97%, so i'll get to 94 today) and i'm really enjoying it.

The clear speed is amazing and the boss DPS is not that bad to be honest, i'm currently running an Abyssus.

Two things i've tried:

Abyssus setup:

6L FB with: faster attacks, fortify ( that 20% reduced damage is very useful if you run aby), multistrike, inc crit strikes, WED.

Starkonja setup:

6L FB with: faster attacks, cold pen, multistrike, inc crit strikes, WED. At this point fortify is not that mandatory but useful anyway, reason why in the WB setup i changed culling strike for fortify.



I feel better playing with Abyssus ( nearly 200k tooltip with only hatred, herald of ice and golem) since you kill stuff way faster. With the abyssus i also run another CWDT setup with Vortex-blind to chill enemies that hit me ( chill is very useful since it slows the mobs down, giving you a chance to run away if the situation is critical).

The only downside is that with an abyssus you have less hp but you can still reach around 5500.

w00tzor, maybe you might want to try using melee phys instead of faster attacks? Also, I feel with ToH up fortify in FB links isn't that necessary.
