[3.5] Death by a Thousand Cuts - Frost Blades & Blade Flurry Raider
| Update: * Added current gear * Updated gem links |   | 
| Do you have to use Terminus Est if you want to use flicker Strike? I guessing not (because its possible to upgrade to a sick katana, no?) but in that case how do you manage frenzy charges, I seem to often run out when not using Terminus Est. |   | 
| " There are a few options: * Run Poacher's Mark Blasphey (instead of another aura) * Run Blood Rage (instead of Vaal Haste, replace Inc Duration with Ancestral Protector) * Run Ice Bite (instead of Added Cold) In order of least elegant to most. |   | 
| " These seem like really good options, thank you. I haven't looked into it at all but are these better than using a frostbit gem on your flicker links? Do you lose too much dps making these 3 options much more viable? |   | 
| " Frostbite is a curse gem. Are you sure that's what you're talking about? |   | 
| " Ice Bite Support* Sorry! |   | 
| " If you don't have Terminus Est then Ice Bite is probably the best option (replacing Added Cold) for Flicker Strike. It's only marginally worse in terms of DPS. |   | 
| Awesome, I appreciate the support you're giving for this build. Is Ice Bite what you plan to do or do you plan to go Terminus all the way to t16? |   | 
| I won't be using Flicker Strike for very much longer, unfortunately. It's causing major de-syncing of my internet and has led to some, let's say, interesting gameplay experience.  If I were to stick with it, however, then I'll switch to Ice Bite once Terminus Est stops being able to 2-shot mobs. |   | 
| How do you feel this build compares to the more popular claw-based Frost Blades raider builds? |   |
