[3.15] Fivers Frost Blades Raider (Outdated)
" You're not really gonna go much above 4500 hp on this build. Just under 4k at 84 with mediocre gear sounds about right to me. If you're willing to lose out damage for life and get good rares with high life you can probably get above 5k but honestly I'm rarely ever getting hit at all on this char so far lol. Question : About Point Blank for Frost Blades, the origin of the projectiles is the target I hit with the main strike right? so enemies close to that target should be taking the full bonus? |

3.8 is lack of strength;

" Not really worth spending an extra gem slot on, since we get it from our nightblade anyway, and the version we get from nightblade is better. " I mean, ultimately it's up to you. It wouldn't be bad, but multistrike is objectively better. " The setup I usually use is that I have my whirling blades setup in my boots. I usually have one or two slots that aren't as important as some others, and I try to keep those in my main hand claw. What I do is move the Whirling blades (+ fortify if possible) to the main hand weapon instead. I lose out on the damage from frost bomb, but the survivability that kaom's roots give in that fight is worth it. " There is no "best one". It is very situational. I have a really hard time picking a favorite. " In the version I had next league, I also had a lethal pride equipped which gave me about 80 strength. That's why I could afford it then, and this version will afford it if it has one, as well. Idk if you have a different version of PoB, but all versions in the latest PoB meet the requirements. If they don't you'll just have to try to get some strength on gear, get a +30 node from the tree, or use lower level gems. " Don't level your flame dash. Don't level your frost bomb/wave of conviction above level 11-12 (If you use wave of conviction instead, you can max it). If you need int, get the +30 INT node above revenge of the hunted. If you still need more, try to get it on gear. " Frost Blades - EDWAS - Nightblade - Rage - Ancestral Call/Multistrike should be your 5L setup when you have 3R2G. But until you should have rage in it, I would replace it with hypothermia/ice bite. There's not really anything you -have- to replace berserk with. Get it when you can, but don't stress about having some alternative. You can use Vaal Double Strike if you want. Gives a little extra. " Well, I haven't really bothered because I don't need the damage at the moment (lazy), and I have spent most of my time this league helping other players out, so I haven't been able to play much myself ^^ (I just don't have a 3R3G armour yet). I like helping others out though, so that's fine. Just don't look at my current character for inspiration. Use the PoB blueprint. " Yes, that is a very good weapon! " Thank you for the advice, and I'm glad you're enjoying the build!! :D " Replacing the Tabula would obviously be a big source of life. You should also get a Starkonja's and Shaper's Touch. Those are two other big sources. Other than that, it's just about getting higher life rolls on your rare gear. Your amulet could use some life, but eventually you want to replace that for a hyrri's truth or pandemonius anyway. (and you will be able to reach 5k+) " That is not true. You will be able to reach 5.5k+ without any extreme gear. Check the newest PoB. I rerouted the tree for a more defensive version of the build in 3.8, which made a lot, but even in 3.7 I was above 5.3k with Starkonja's, and 5.7k when fighting uber. In the budget version, you'll reach 5.5k+ if you have: 90+ life on your shield (You can get way above 100) 100+ max life and 10% inc life on body armour. I bought this one earlier this league for 5c: 60+ max life on rare ring (getting 50+ on a CoH ring will be harder though. But that's not in the budget version) 80+ max life on belt None of those things are very expensive/hard to get. About point blank. That is correct. I should've taken that into account when showing the range chart I've displayed earlier. Thank you for ponting this out. I'll take that into consideration, however I still don't think it's worth it. Up to you if you do. " In my opinion you should use a rare shield with as high life and evasion as possible. Some people prefer using claws for extra damage, but I don't think it's worth it since it lowers your life a lot and makes it harder to reach resist cap and evasion cap. Don't panic. |

" If you can't meet strength requirements, get the +30STR node. If you can get a Lethal Pride, that will solve all strength requirements. But other things you can do is to keep your Ancestral Protector, Ancestral Warchief, and Berserk at lower levels. You don't need to max those, even though they would give higher DPS if you do. Don't panic. |

I have made HUGE updates to the build today.
- Changed the structure of the build - Fixed links and added info about the platforms I am available on - Made VERY big changes in the FAQ section. There's a LOT of stuff there now. - Clarified some of my skill/item-choices - Fixed bad grammar and poor wordings on some things The additions to the FAQ section provide a lot more answers to questions that I've been getting over the last couple of weeks. Please read the FAQ before asking questions. Like I've said earlier, I really like it when I can help people out, but it is extremely time-consuming to manage this forum-thread, my youtube-channel, my twitch-channel, my discord-server, and still try to find time to actually play the game. Since the launch of 3.8 I've spent more time helping other players than I've done playing the game. So it would relieve a lot of pressure from me if you checked the FAQ first. Thank you!! Don't panic. |

What gem will you leave out in case you only have a 5L only?
|

" Ruthless It's in the FAQ ;) Don't panic. |

does anyone tried to make Pathfinder version of this? I'm kinda addicted to flasks, and like to know if it will work for endgame
English is not my native language, so forgive me for the mistakes pls

" for a pathfinder version you will probably need to make it into a very different kind of build, since this one is heavily focused on stacking frenzy charges, and you won't have a good way to stack that as pathfinder. Don't panic. |
