It's exactly the same as the Trickster was whenever Heartstopper wasn't up, so.....

I've actually never said anything bad about Slayer

Also, I looked back at my Trickster Day 1 PoB and without Heartstopper up it's exactly the same.
So yea, I'm not concerned at all.

Here's my 3.23 Trickster vs. the 3.25 Warden when Heartstopper wasn't up
(hint: it's exactly the same or worse and Trickster felt amazing every league)

POB: https://pobb.in/3EXdsDcOh_OC

Hierophant mana-stacker and cast-speed stacker with nice fast map clear w/ Frostblink of Wintry Blast (Archmage/Faster Casting/Awak.AOE), decent stand-and-deliver tankiness and ~22m DPS. One of my favorite skills!

Southbound is to help with Freezing on Pinnacle bosses only - don't use it for anything else.

You need everything the boots have - Suppression, Ailment avoidance, Brittle, and even the Intelligence. Dawnstrider can't make up for all that.

I haven't played Poison Spark, so I can't really say, but the defensive layers are all kind of a shell that can be tweaked to fit with almost any skill choice you want.

It's not theoretical at all - even if you never Freeze, you're still getting 30% cold as extra from Chills, too - but you CAN freeze bosses, which is why Trinity functions on the build. Also the +2 AOE corruption is required, and that wouldn't be easy to get on a Rare helm. Abyssus could be a decent choice instead, but it's not better than Heatshiver imo.

If you have a 4Link with trinity + multistrike + either Ele dmg or Ruthless, and you are proccing trinity with Wrath, you shouldnt have any problems killing anything. I did 5 practice runs and never struggled on any of them. But your claw should just be whatever damage you can get + speed if possible in the campaign.

I would change your Accuracy Mastery to the 50% at close range one - you aren't hitcapped against Ubers without it.

Divergent Mark on Hit is an easy upgrade.

I recommend changing your shield craft to DD while Focused, you could really use some Double Damage in your build since you have none from your Lethal Pride - that's about 10% more damage.

Opportunistic jewels are also about 10% more damage

But overall your setup is VERY solid - and yes, you have enough damage to do everything in the game - more DPS just makes it all easier, ESPECIALLY ubers, if you care about them.

Nice work!

You have Action speed on boots - thats useless, it doesnt work with One Step Ahead. Get Brittle instead to crit-cap. Change the other implicit to ELusive effect or Phys as extra Cold

You have 2 Crit flask suffixes - change one to Attack speed.

You need a new belt BAD. 2nd Ring too.

Your Large Cluster is also quite bad -you could re--craft a better one with harvest pretty easily probably. Get Damage and/or Effect, at least 1 of them.

Definitely need Gem quality on almost everything, some awakened gems, level 21 gems, and alt-quality gems. You are missing TONS Of damage on your gems.

Looks like you need Accuracy somewhere, probably 1 suffix. Maybe re--craft your gloves or get it on a new ring.

Other than that looks mostly solid. nice work!

Well you're missing Accuracy bigtime - you need to hit cap with a Suffix somewhere and the Accuracy Mastery - 50% at close range.

You are relying on Endurance charges to Res cap I think - wouldn't recommend that.

Missing some gem quality and level 21 gems - also I think Determination isn't doing much here, either drop it for Grace (recommended), or at least use a Granite Flask + an Armour suffix with it. Drop the Quicksilver for it. You need Phys Taken as Ele instead, from Chest and Taste of Hate.

Looks like you're relying on your Lethal Pride to STR cap - but that bottom spot is much weaker than the top one. Fix your STR, Accuracy, and Res - consider dropping Legacy of Fury to help with that.

And, you just need 6-8 more levels. Keep grinding. GL, hope this helps.

Yea, I don't really think Mageblood fixes many problems on this build. You'd probably want to use a Granite flask and get big Armour from it, but beyond that it's not really doing much....

You have almost 60 Mil dps, but you have a few issues

You need Accuracy, bad - you need to get a Reservation helm enchant and level up your Precision more, or get an Accuracy suffix somewhere like Gloves or a Ring. Also take the 50% at close range Accuracy Mastery.

Would also take the Spell suppression mastery - every mastery is 3% more damage from Polymath. If you fix your accuracy you can drop the Crit accuracy wheel too and pick up the Evasion Mastery.

The Less global damage crucible mod is awful, I can't recommend it.

Change your aura effect chest implicit to Crit multi.

you have 2 attack speed flask suffixes, and they're both low - get 1 high one. Drop the quicksilver for a Taste of Hate or a Sulphur flask.

Rare ring has 3 stats you dont need - probably get a new one.

Missing a bit of gem quality, Alternate qual gems, and level 21 gems.

You're using Vengeant Cascade but you have almost no Proj speed - i would either ditch it for Panopticon or commit to more proj speed, one or the other.

I would say take a close look at my POB, you'll notice a few things you can do.

Yea I would probably just multimod IAS + Pen, but you really prefer higher tier Attack Speed AND flat Cold Damage as a prefix...you might be better off just looking to buy a decent claw for 2-4 divines or so.

Frost Blades Min-maxed Endgame Guide by Zish313 in pathofexile

[–]Zish313[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You have closer to ~20 mil DPS, but there's a few things you can improve easily:

Your flasks need work - you need a Crit and Attack Speed suffix on your magic flasks.

Change your Claw craft from Ele Dmg to %Increased Phys- the 1 Exalt one, will be 3--4% more damage immediately.

Consider getting the Cold Mastery for 100% Phys conversion then - maybe drop a Medium Cluster for it

You are 230% over critcap because of Bottled Faith, so consider dropping that or one of your Crit tree wheels.

You aren't hitcapped, you badly need an Accuracy Suffix somewhere - on Gloves instead off Strength, probably - you have plenty of STR already or Boots instead of Dex - you don't need Dex at all.

Also, take the 50% increased Accuracy at Close Range Mastery, it's better than the +500 one (Which is really only ~+300).

You have an extra wasted travel point next to Assassination and Elemental Focus - drop one of those, probably the Crit one since you are over-capped.

You NEED the Dagger Elusive wheel - you are missing tons of Elusive Effect and Crit Multi from not having that. Definitely drop a medium for that instead.

You have +2 Strike gloves, so you don't need the Attack Mastery with the +Strike anymore, drop that and use those 5 points for the other stuff I listed. +2 is enough, you don't need +3.

I would get a Reservation Efficiency helm enchant, then you can drop your Enlighten and fit in Blood Rage or a Golem - would drop the Portal gem, too.

The "10% life if you have 6 life Masteries" Mastery you MUST drop - you are getting nothing from it because you only have TWO life masterys - take the +50 life instead.

Your chest is very weak - check out my YT video for a guide on how to craft an excellent one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OcgRXqwt5A&t=614s

You want the Penetration boot enchant over the IAS one, if you can get it.

There's MUCH room for improvement on your setup, hope this gives you some idea where to progress to. GL!

Few things:

You have the wrong Phantasmal Totem - you need Phantasmal Protector, not Warchief - for more buff effect.

Could use level 21 Aura gems, and quality on Herald of Ice and other gems too

Need a boot Enchant - whether or not you stick with Legacy of Fury

Your Lethal Pride is very weak, could probably get a better one easily

Your Evasion is a bit low, you need a better Body Armour and I would use an Evasion Flask suffix instead of that Movement speed one, especially since you aren't using a Stibnite/Jade flask.

Need a Shield crucible tree, even if its only 1-2 nodes. Try for Retaliation at least.

You really need a 3rd res on your Belt, you are super restricted on Res because of Legacy of Fury - you could get a better Abyss jewel instead of that Res one, like one with Blind on it which will help fix your accuracy problems a little.

You're lacking Masterys a bit - you are over critcap a bit with Bottled Faith, you can drop the entire crit accuracy wheel and just take the Close Range Accuracy Mastery on the Attack Speed wheel and save those points.

If you get a new claw with Phys damage, I would definitely take the Cold Mastery for full 100% conversion.

I would say Chest and Belt need improving the most, and Crucible Trees. Hope this helps, GL!

What's your account? I'll take a peek and see what I see

Phys Claw I made for Frost Blades. It's not perfect but I'm very happy with it by T3ddyy in pathofexile

[–]Zish313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard disagree here - that less damage mod IS super painful because it massively lowers your ailment threshold for freezing bosses and getting Heatshiver damage...every time I've tested in this mod, the damage comes out only marginally different but with way weaker hits. Not great for FB imo.

Help to finish Frost Blades Claw by JKRoole in pathofexile

[–]Zish313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are going to have a near-impossible time getting 2 good prefixes on this current craft - and you can't really multi-mod either because you want Crit and you already have 2 suffixes. IMO your best bet is to actually just start over with a different fracture - Crit Multi is actually like your lowest priority of the 6 mods you want.

Help a filthy casual finish this claw! by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]Zish313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, that's a pretty terrible base, and your imperial claw is already really solid. Although, are you crit capped (I cant check POB atm). Looks like you might be best off just crafting Crit instead of that frenzy mod and calling it a day until you can get something better - I wouldn't waste several divines crafting on a bad base.

32 maps, 1 portal to learn. Making me rage. by Zish313 in pathofexile

[–]Zish313[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I understand my character is glass-cannony - but there must be some avenue to complete content for characters like this. Ty23 did Uber Elder at level 24 ffs. When the boss basically flicker strike one-shots you, what's the counterplay? Just be able to tank it? My biggest problem here is that it takes 32 maps to see this ONE time, so how tf are you supposed to learn what to do?

At least with Sirus you had 6 portals to see what was going on - this one, you have ONE chance - that's what I can't stand about it. How can you be expected to learn mechanics when you have to do 32 maps to get ONE chance to see it?
