However, I ended up with a unlucky blue socket, e.g. 3 red, 1 green and 1 blue socket. I am using Increased Critical damage in that blue socket currently, and I would like you hear if you got a better suggestion.

I don't. The 1 blue is rather unfortunate, and I can't think of any other blue gem that would better than Inc. Crit Damage.

Why do you use Wasp Nest claws instead of Touch of Anguish? Is the attack speed worth the loss of phys damage and crit?

Also, I think you mean to suggest claw damage on your jewels, not sword damage.

Touch of Anguish is slightly better than Wasp's Nest. At this price right now I don't recommend it, but if both are eventually cheap then just use ToA. A rare claw is the best, however.

Speaking of the jewels, it says swords because this build used to use swords. I'll update that.

I've got the same questions as other people :

- Is this build viable for end-game contents ? (U-Atziri, Shaper, Elder, Guardians)

- What would be end-game gear setup ?

- Particularly for weapon : rare claw (high phys or high elem ?), Touch of Anguish ?

This build did all content last league. It didn't need a Belly, though that would've been very nice, nor did it need a crazy rare item. It might actually do more damage now, so I doubt it'll be a problem.

The end game gear is in the guide, it's basically what I have now, with better base on gloves and rings, as well as a pair of high PDPS crit claws and a Belly.

This build is NOT for HC though, just in case that needed to be said.

Thanks for the reply, but damn looking through your gear it's easily like 15exalts just between your helm enchant/chest mainly lol. I'd think you can clear red maps with ease with most builds when you invest that much currency into it lol.

You don't need 15ex, though that would be very nice. The gear I have on now, which is about 150c give or take half a week ago, clears all maps up to t14 without any problems. Not that it can't do higher, but I just wanted to farm more levels first.

I might venture so far as to say that if I take my exact current gear, and upgrade my Starkonja with a +3 Molten Balls one, it'd do Shaper at 90. It might not even need that. I did it last league.

That said, a crit ele build with infinite scaling like this one can get VERY expensive if you want to take it to its limits, that's for certain.

Could you add PoB link?

I'll get to it once Pastebin stop being so unworkable.

Hi to all m8s,

Thanks for your work on this guide. I'm following this as my league starter and it's extremely fun and works well for now in mid tier maps with stupid gear and no currency. You can see my passive tree and my current gear on my profile if you want. Any tips are appreciated :)

Just 1 question:
I've made a simple CWDT setup with CWDT, IC, ID and 1 course projectile weackness or elemental weackness. What do you suggest for it? which one is better?

Many thanks

Have fun

I suggest Temporal Chains.

If you must go with an offensive curse, preference and all that, projectile weakness is far, far better than elemental weakness.

How would Spectral Throw work as a substitute for Frost Blades? I just can't stand the mechanics of Frost Blades and love ST lol.

Might as well play a ST char then? ST has good single target when you swap in slow proj with GMP and have Point Blank. I did all guardians on a 5link with crap sub 25c gear

Hi guys,

I'm loving the build so far. Fast and fun. I'm having some trouble surviving right now due to low life pool and one hits. I'm wondering if someone might be willing to look at my setup and offer any suggestions to help me out.

I'm a relatively casual player and just found out about the shaper mods. Got a pair of gloves with L16 Faster Attacks mod to put my Frost Blades in. Is this a good way to go? Are their other mods to look for?

Thanks for all your time!

Char = Frostikker

What pantheons do we take for this build?

Would Shroud of the lightless be a good chocie. Seem pretty good

Hi guys.

1 - Can anyone tell me what are the gems that gets into the skill tree in the sockets available and where?

2 - All gems can be level up to the maximum except FrostBomb?

Tks all

I’m really enjoying this build, I just upgraded into Touch of Anguish got my boots and am working on recapping elemental resists again. I bought a better helmet but I’m still trying to roll the slots I need into it. My main problem is I need a better chest piece but haven’t got any good 5links or 6link. I was thinking of just buying a belly and spending my time trying to build up the currency to roll it into a 6L. My question is does anyone know how you can up your survival in Uber Labs. I’m getting 1 shot by the boss.

I had two thoughts. First picking up the scion health nodes and the evasion nodes next to acrobatics. I didn’t get these yet as I was prioritizing damage or defense. My other thoughts was to buy a Tabula 6L frostblades and motlen together and put a CWDT immortal call gem link in.


Any help would be great, you can see my skill tree on my character page name “Fulleh”
