{3.0} Nowlech's Tempest Binding Frost Blades/Blade Flurry BURRRRserker! ~Easy Shaper~ Videos!

IMPORTANT NOTE - IN THESE FIRST 3 VIDEOS I WAS USING SPECTRAL THROW BEFORE I SWITCHED TO BLADE FLURRY



After I switched to blade flurry is down below.



Showcasing that this build can tank through Shapers Slam

Beserker gets an insane amount of leech (enough to tank Shapers beam) and it also gets crazy attack speed. Attack speed is one of the main focus' on this build and when you apply that with Beserkers damage and leech, you get a tank. An unstoppable tank that takes down everything.

Raider is good, don't get me wrong, it is good. But the problem with raider is that you get such little life and less damage than beserker. I would play raider if I was ONLY farming maps, but this guy can do anything and everything.

If you don't have Path of Building, I highly recommend it. It is the best tool for any Path of Exile player by far.




For Bandits we take Alira for Crit and the resists are nice too!

I added a level 93 tree because that's where I usually finish my builds, but I also added a level 100 tree if you would like to take this character to it's max.

Soul of the Brine King (or Soul of Solaris)
Soul of Yugul - Mandatory

All the gems are listed from most important to least.

Blade Flurry- Linked in Chest



__________________________________________________________________________________

Frost Blades - Linked in Helmet



__________________________________________________________________________________

Auras/Totem - Linked in Weapon

(We use Protector instead of Warchief because it gives us much more attack speed, and a 1 Link Warchief wouldn't really do anything for us)

__________________________________________________________________________________

Movement - Linked in Shield



You can switch out Leap Slam for Fortify but I do not enjoy not being able to get over gaps, or only leap slamming everywhere so I opted out of fortify

__________________________________________________________________________________

1st Cast when Damage Taken Setup - Linked in Gloves

40% more Damage

You can switch Uber and Merciless if you want to live on the edge, but this is how I did it so I have it down the way I know.

For our chest we go for a 6 Link Belly of the Beast for mostly the %Increaded Max Life it gives. Also quite easy to color here!



__________________________________________________________________________________

For our helmet we use the new Harbinger unique, The Tempest Binding. It gives us another 6 Link for our Frost Blades and also generates our frenzy charges for us! Also quite easy to color.



__________________________________________________________________________________

For the shield we use the lyc, lycos, uhhhhhhh the lycosidae thing. Just so we don't have to worry about accuracy. Plus is gives a little life which is nice. Easy to color.



__________________________________________________________________________________

For our weapon we use a 1 handed elemental Jeweled Foil. You are preferably looking for one with at least 350edps and 475 dps. Aps should be at least 2, and Crit should be above 6.8.
Look for added elemental damage > Attack speed > Crit Multi > Crit Chance
Mine isn't very good but can take down Shaper and Guardians no problem, mine is 366edps, 478dps, 2.03 aps and 6.98 crit. You can easily get something better than mine. Not the easiest to color, but easy with Vorici



__________________________________________________________________________________

For our gloves, use Spiked Gloves as your base, try to get as much life and resistances as you can. Added lightning or cold damage to attack, and attack speed are a luxury but not a necessity. Use vorici to color!



__________________________________________________________________________________


For our boots we use skyforths, and thank god they are fairly cheap this league! We use them only for the explicit "25% chance to gain a power charge on critical strike" Fairly easy to color.




__________________________________________________________________________________


Rings, oh boy here is where it starts getting expensive, we use 2 of The Tamings. They give us an INSANE amount of damage, and incredible resists, you can get one with +40 all res, so 2 of them can give us +80 all res.



__________________________________________________________________________________

For the belt, we can use either a leather belt, or a rustic sash. Leather Belt gives us a little more life, and rustic sash' give us a tiny amount of damage. I went for rustic sash because it had the mods I needed.
For the belt, look for
+Max Life > Resists > Elemental damage with Weapons



__________________________________________________________________________________

And for our amulet we NEED to get around 60+ int to cover for our int requirements for wrath. If you have filled out the rest of your resistances on your gear just go for,
>60 Int > Life > Crit Multi > Added Lightning to attacks > Elemental damage with attacks > Resistances.



__________________________________________________________________________________

I will talk about flasks and Jewels below

Helmet - 40% Blade Flurry damage - Enough said here

Gloves - DO NOT ENCHANT YOUR GLOVES IF YOU ARE USING SPIKED GLOVES, if you are not using spiked gloves you can use
-Of Frost > Fire a nova of icy projectiles. That can chill enemies like shaper.
-Of Inferno > Drops a meteor from above on a nearby foe, dealing Fire damage in an area around them.

Boots - Any enchant that gives added Elemental damage. But the BIS is Elemental damage penetration if you haven't killed recently for Shaper Grinding!

Now we have a few mandatory flasks and 2 that you can change around if you'd like.
The three mandatory flasks are,

Taste of hate, gives us a lot of damage, but most importantly it helps our defenses quite a but because of that 20% phys damage taken as cold damage.



Atziri's Promise, gives us more damage, but more importantly it gives us more leech when we haven't taken a savage hit recently.


A Diamond flask of either bleed immunity or freeze immunity. Helps with our crit, nuff said here.


__________________________________________________________________________________

Now here is what I use for the last 2 flasks



I use a doedre's elixir for making us take a savage hit, it really helps with leech and attack speed. It allows us to tank shapers beam no problem.

Also I am using a silver flask for attack speed and that's mostly it, these 2 flasks give us so much attack speed it's just kind of insane.

You could swap out the Silver flask for a Life Flask if you want to for those oh shit moments, but if you want to be a man and tank the world with hitting fast and hitting hard, that's the flask I recommend.

On our skill tree we pass by/take 5 jewel sockets. It's quite important to get %max life here so you can get over 6k life. We don't grab a bunch of Flat life on our gear, so life on jewels really helps out a lot.

Look out for these jewel mods
-%Increased maximum Life
-Crit multi with one handed melee weapons
-Global crit multi
-Attack speed
-Attack speed with shields
-Attack speed with one handed melee weapons
-Intelligence if you still need it
