Do you think that Added Cold Damage Support would be better than Nightblade Support? When i try both gems the difference on Frostblade damage tooltip is huge! With Nightblade is roughly 46k but with added cold damage goes up to 61k! So what do you think is the best?
Never rely on tooltip dps.
It doesn’t take things like elemental penetration and any other bonuses that you might have.
Added cold is not better. If you don’t like nightblade you can use Hypothermia, but Nightblade provides other stuff than just damage.
Don't panic.

Insanely good and detailed guide, unparalleleld even.
Which makes me feel like more of a douchebag for asking here but I really did try to use my keen sense of logic.
Is Bloodseeker better all the way until you can get t1 phys rolls+very high attack speed combined with minimum 16 ele penetration?
Not necessarily. Getting a claw with 330+ dps will make a big difference. Getting a 5ex claw with ele pen will allow you to clear most, if not all, content. Someone on the Discord server wrote earlier that he killed Uber with BS though. :)
The strength in bloodseeker lies in the survivability it provides, but if you feel that you don’t need it, then go with something else. Both Wasp Nest and ToA do more damage.
Even a single T3 crafted claw would be a major upgrade from BS, and if you have Ele Pen on it, you will be in no hurry to get a new claw. I don’t know why anyone would craft on that, though. :p
I think I'm starting to understand it now, it's one of those things I have most trouble getting the hang of, learning when a crafted weapon out-performs a unique for instance.
I have some currency saved up so I'll try to prioritize what to spend it on first and such.
Thanks a bunch for taking the time to reply!
I am pretty happy with my gear and progression so far but I still have few questions that I want to ask.
1. Is there any good alternative to Lion's Roar flask? I hate the knockback so much...
2. Is multistrike and nightblade getting calculated correctly in PoB now? Because your PoB doesn't contain that custom made flask anymore. I am asking this because my dps is pretty low on PoB even with everything properly ticked.

You could go life-diamond-atziri-tasteofhate-overflowing chalice(or any sulphur flask)/cinderswallow urn with crit.
Knockback is really useful in the blight encounters and some bosses though.
No they are still not calculated properly. I added the workaround to darkray vectors instead, because the custom-made flask caused a few issues.
Make sure you update your PoB to the latest version. Thisneeds to be done manually by clicking the check for update button in the lower left corner.
It is usually this that causes the error.

You're saying a 330+dps claw will make a bif diff (from a BS perspective i know)
I have the wasp nest and got a 338pdps gemini claw but i still lose tooltip dps.
Here are my claws
I know the rare one is garbage but i wanted to try. So a 350pdps random claw < 255pdps wasp nest ?
