Shadow - [3.9] Frostblades Assassin SSF Viable. 1M+ DPS w/ Budget gear! League starter! Insane Clear Speed - Forum

Loving this build, so much fun. Ty for writing this guide. For the Ancestral Warchief (gem), the totem, do we keep it at level 10 or level it all the way? In the guide you don't mention it, but in the Path of Building it's listed at level 10. Also do we want the Vaal version or just the regular? Do you drop the totem for trash mobs or just special enemies? Last edited by TurdFlingingApe on Jan 9, 2019, 10:58:40 AM	Posted by TurdFlingingApe on Jan 9, 2019, 10:56:52 AM Quote this Post

Hits below the minimum threshold of 1% effect are discarded, effectively requiring a hit of 0.33% enemy maximum life to chill that enemy. As an example, The Shaper has approximately 20 000 000 life. Minimally chilling The Shaper requires a single hit of 66 000 cold damage. I hope you kill a t13 boss with fewer than 300 hits. Hmmmm... so basically it does nothing against the bosses since our single hits are not great?	Posted by magicdownunder on Jan 9, 2019, 4:30:34 PM Quote this Post

Your crits should do enough damage, my gut says, but it's been a while since I played frost blades assassin. 3.5 build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2299519	Posted by Peterlerock on Jan 9, 2019, 4:32:45 PM Quote this Post

As for your question, we use vaal warchief totem and we mostly use it for clearing either packs or bosses (You will learn when to use it and when not to use it.) For your other question, level 10 is only because getting strength with our gear is a little rough, if you can go higher, go higher. Have fun.

Hello! thanks for writing the guide I had not played in a while and I am really enjoying it. Also just 6Linked my 1st chest! Right now I'm lvl 88 and I can farm up to t11/t12 maps but still dying a bit to some bosses and syndicate. What should I try to upgrade on my current gear? Spoiler Also do you have a skill tree for very end game? I have all the endgame tree / path of building nodes already Thanks for the help!	Posted by bosow on Jan 14, 2019, 8:29:40 PM Quote this Post

It is very unlikely that you will find enough lightning damage on this build that you can apply shocks to bosses. Shocks have an HP treshold similar to freeze/chill. 3.5 build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2299519	Posted by Peterlerock on Jan 15, 2019, 12:06:48 PM Quote this Post

Also do you have a skill tree for very end game? I have all the endgame tree / path of building nodes already Thanks for the help! Hi. Your gear is in a great state and its at the point where typically you can just farm currency for a new more expensive build or a chase item (Headhunter), so that is what I would recommend. You can't really expand the build damage wise for a suitable cost and nor does it make sense to. As for the endgame tree, you can find that on the path of building. It goes up to 95, if I recall correctly. Have fun.	Posted by Reloads on Jan 16, 2019, 3:21:44 AM Quote this Post
Ok is there a build with similar playstyle you could recommend? would you reroll or respec? I'll have a look in details at the PoB tree maybe I skipped a branch or something. Thanks! and having tons of fun with the build so far (except when I die :p )	Posted by bosow on Jan 16, 2019, 5:06:01 AM Quote this Post
Hey! Any suggestions to upgrading gear? I'm doing okay-ish with lvl 12 maps, but everything above seems tough. Any suggestions welcome :) saving up for that 6-link btw.	Posted by LesserForms on Jan 17, 2019, 11:23:30 AM Quote this Post
