So, I finally got around to making a new Frost Blades Raider recently, and I am trying to max it out as well as possible.

I am working on an entirely new version, and depending on how it feels, I might make a new PoB for that one. It feels really good right now, but I also need to evaluate how realistic it is for people to reach the level of gear that I am at now.

In the meantime I can show you a sneak peak on the damage output.

I will be playing this version during todays stream and try to optimize it.

Feel free to stop by. I'm starting in 5 minutes and will be streaming for at least 6-7 hours, probably more. :)

Nice. Have you consider using Large Cluster Jewel with 12% cold damage? My goal is to roll 8 passive jewels and get 3 notables Blanketed Snow, Vengeful Commander, and Doryani's Lessons (unused) and slot in 2 crit multi jewels. Something like this: https://i.imgur.com/qYY5wqN.png


With 8 passives point spent, I'm getting:
1) 12% increased cold damage from jewel passive + whatever 4th suffix you getting
2) -10% cold penetration from Blanketed Snow
3) Gain 7% phys as cold damage from Vengeful Commander
4) 5% more cold damage from Vengeful Commander
5) 14% increased maximum life (2 mods from 2 jewel)
6) 18+15+18+15 = 66% Crit Multi (4 mods from 2 jewel)
7) 2 extra suffix mod from jewel to fill in resists or attributes or atk speed or another 2 crit multi

I think it is the better option compared to medium cluster jewel to get Cold Conduction.

If we have a good crit chance (My POB currently have 65.9% crit chance, 88.37% effective crit chance), I'd say investing in crit multi is a good option to boost damage.

Alright, I'm starting up my stream now. If you need help over the next 8+ hours, that's where you will find me. ♥


I'll try to help the ones who have written here in the thread asap, but will not be doing it during stream.

How do you have so much evasion chance? I have roughly the same amount of evasion rating as you, but your chance to evade is about 2x higher.
Is it through cat's stealth?

You probably didn't tick the "is the enemy blinded?" option in POB.

"

that's true, but what is giving the blind in his build?

The claw cluster just above acrobatics have a node that give 10% chance to blind enemies on crit.

I have been playing this build this league and im very happy with the damage, melting Cortex in a few seconds. But is there a way to be a little more tankier?

Also does anyone have an idea on a price for that amulet im using? Thinking of selling that one and maybe buying one with life and/or other defense on it.

It's funny beacuse I'm actually playing around with a new version of the build right now using these jewels.

I'm taking it one step further though.
I will be using 2 of these large cluster jewels, together with 4 medium and 4 small.

We go for
2x big clusters with: Blanketed Snow + Vengeful Commander
3x medium clusters with: Vengeful Commander + Precise Commander
1x medium cluster with: cold conduction + 1 (probably storm rider)
4x life clusters. Preferably with fettle.

After getting Supreme Ego in the passive tree and by stacking these jewels, we get insane damage from out Hatred.

As for replacing Cold Conduction with Crit Multiplier jewels, I don't think that's worth it. Cold Conduction alone gives 15% shock for us.
That said, investing in Crit Multi is definitely incredibly strong though, and on every gearpiece that you can get Crit Multi, you should try to have it.
I'll investigate a little bit further with the cluster jewels vs crit multi jewels. There might be some middle ground.

I am having a blast with it right now, and I intend to share it, because it is incredibly strong. I'm stomping on everything.
I can give you the PoB if you want, but I want to warn you that the gear I am using in it is more or less min/maxed, so it's not a super reliable goal for most people to aim for.
You can have a look at my character if you want to as well.

It's the one named Fiver. :p

Thank you so much for the input!

I am playing around with a new version where I try to get it a little bit tankier. I know that the build is prone to getting one-shot every now and then, and I'm not sure I can get away from that without sacrificing too much damage.


That amulet is seriously one of the most ridiculous amulets I've ever seen. Holy fuck. I have no idea of it's value but thats many exalts right there.

I think ideal scenario would've been to sacrifice the dmg per frenzy charge for a life roll. But in terms of damage, holy shit...

Alright, starting up the stream. You know the drill. Stop by if you need help or anything. ♥

Yes, working great. I use it with hatred, herald of ice and aspect of the cat atm.

My most powerful version of this build hands down this league. Mostly following Fivers PoB but a couple small changes mainly for more life
My PoB if anyones curious
