[3.15] Fivers Frost Blades Raider (Outdated)
" Usually I rely on my damage to take care of things. I stack zombies to slow the enemies down as much as possible ^^ AFAIK no one has tried life explosions, but it's a good idea. " "Supported Skills deal (15-30)% more Physical Damage" We still SCALE on physical damage, even if our output dmg is all cold. " You are right, but I think it's also a lot more expensive. But we should add that to the list. " You don't have to use them, but even the bonuses you get from that single frenzy charge makes it better than most options. You could go for something like atziri's step I guess? But yeah. You won't be able to replace them without crippling your damage. Also, I'm glad you're enjoying the build! :) " Jesus fucking christ, man. I am very close to reporting your comment for containing porn. (srsly, great job tho!) " You mean 500k, right? 50k is your average damage per hit. So a few things. You've forgotten to import the workaround for nightblade+elusive. I see you have the multistrike flask, but you need the others as well. (I know some parts of my forum guide are outdated, gonna work on them soon).
add this to any of your items in pob
WORKAROUNDS
20% increased critical strike chance +1% to critical strike chance +99% to critical strike multiplier 52% increased movement speed 26% chance to dodge attacks 26% chance to dodge spells NIGHTBLADE + ELUSIVE WORKAROUND 44% more melee attack speed 10% less attack damage 10% increased melee physical damage 22% more damage MULTISTRIKE WORKAROUND And ofc, remove the 3.8 multistrike flask, when you do this. You are also only on a 5L. You can buy 6L armours fairly cheap at this point. Buying a base and crafting it yourself with just essences or fossils or whatever, will get you a better one than the one you have. If you are worried about being able to get 4R on a full evasion armour, you can get a hybrid armour+eva chestpiece. But even on a 5L, you should have a different setup. You aren't using rage, which means you cant use berserk (which is arguably one of the strongest burst skills in the game). My 5L would be: Frost Blades - EDWAS - Nightblade - Rage - Ancestral Call/Multistrike You also dont really have much damage on your rare gear. No "EDWAS" or added damage. I would consider dropping your jewel slots for your rare jewels, and get Disciple of the Slaughter instead. You can definitely squeeze out more damage. :) On another note, you should lower the lvl of your flame dash and frost bomb. There's no reason to level your flame dash at all, and having that one and frost bomb on too high level will increased the INT requirement. " I appreciate the input. I agree with you for most part. The FB enchant is more of a luxury thing than anything vital to the build. I do however swap out bloodrage when I fight Uber, so with my setup BR enchant wouldn't benefit me then. I think Hypothermia VS Nightblade is still hard to decide. I'm still leaning towards NB right now but at the same time I kind of miss Hypothermia. You can still fit stuff like double damage on a shield even with mana reservation. :) Don't panic. |

" Lol, you got it. :) " In terms of life, you actually get quite a lot the last 10 levels or so. Between 92-100 you will gain around 250 life. But a Lethal Pride would also give you a lot. Pandemonius would also do a lot for your survival, even though you will lose life from using it, since it will blind enemies. And this might sound cliché, but offense is sometimes the best defense. You are still using a wasp nest, and when you upgrade that one, that will also help. :) " You need to replace your Tabula Rasa. Claw is good. Remove Quicksilver Flask, and use Atziri's Promise. You need to take Phase Acrobatics! It is very important for our survival. :) Don't panic. |

@fiver coz aoe is't that good i changed frost blades for iceshot and rider for dead eye. Tree is almost the same (just few nodes for bows). Its also cheaper coz 2x 6 link on chest and bow cost around 8 ex so thats the price of the claw.
U just need jewel for 180c but biuld is flexible u can play anything. Last edited by azell1000#7502 on Sep 17, 2019, 11:02:43 AM

Hey Fiver, first off I'm having an incredible time with the build, the shatter makes my heart go Boom and it's such a joy to play!
I have a question tho: I absolutely HATE the rage mechanic and The additional buttonpress with berserk is a bit much for me (yeah I know, stupid, I just like having whirling blades once on my mouse and once on my spacebar *cough*) Would it be viable to go with FB WED Ruthless Multistrike Hypothermia Nightblade/Ice Bite instead? If so what would be the best setup here? Pob is giving me superweird numbers when I play around with Nightblade setups. |

Hey u suggest 2x Ewar's Mirage to lvling up but i can't use frostblade with it do you use another skill to lvl up or is there something i didn't understand ? x)

" If you have Nightblade socketed you cant use Swords. Use something like Added Cold damage instead when you are leveling. Don't panic. |
|
" You can't use leap slam with claws. Don't panic. |
|
" Well your diamond flask isn't activated, but more importantly, you have frostbite in your CWDT setup. Since you have 2 curses but only can use one of them, Assassin's Mark isn't counted. If you remove Frostbite, Assassin's Mark will be accounted for and you will have more crit. Don't panic. |
