why arent you considering using melee physical? according to my path of building its one of the best modifiers... better then any of those.

You must be using out of date (2.6) Path of Building or your character is very strange. If you import my character into Path of Building, Melee Physical Damage is not good. The new Ruthless support gem gives more damage. So does Added Cold and Ice Bite. In 3.0 the Added Cold and Ice Bite support gems were buffed significantly.

Frankly, I think anyone running Melee Physical Damage in this patch is making a mistake. Not only does it not scale your projectiles, but it even scales your melee damage worse than other support gems that support both.

Hey all! so here are the most recent changes to frost blades.

1. Tested out the Ele focus problem, found out it was rarely giving power charges as shattering was very very low.

2. The new Gem link order goes as followed.
Frost blades - Ele damage - Multi - Cold pen - Increased crit strikes -DAMAGE ON FULL LIFE (this is the ele focus fix. provides about the same dps and w/ the amount of leech the build has this shouldn't be a problem to upkeep, also gives you back all those sweet sweet shatters!)

3. The new 3 socket gem combo
Cast when damage taken 1 -Immortal call 3 - Summon Ice Golem (you can have CWDT proc or self cast) or if you like the Frostbomb combo. Run no ele.

4. The CWDT/Ele/Flame dash combo is gone. The new combo is as follows
Ancestral Warchief - Elemental focus - Conc effect - Elemental damage with attacks

Thanks guys and hope you enjoy the new links/gem combos!
