Kinda new to the game and feel like this char is far from enjoyable compared to arc elementalist or MS jugg for example. dual strike is enjoyable - yes, meta - no	Posted by crown_is_heavy on Dec 3, 2018, 6:59:22 AM Quote this Post
now this looks like a nice league starter build . i think i might roll this or arc traps , still a little unsure but this looks much fun	Posted by kitoace on Dec 3, 2018, 6:41:59 PM Quote this Post
Been playing this for the past few weeks, and having so much more fun than I was with arc or sunder. Gear is cheap too. 25k dual strike DPS at lvl 51, and in HC so I've focused quite a bit on defense/life as well.	Posted by HeyBros on Dec 4, 2018, 1:19:51 AM Quote this Post
I am about to create my very first character for the new season and I wonder if it's a good idea to follow this build but only playing frost of blade/LS and not dual strike. I mean would I be able to lvl without being hardstuck? (no problems if i die a lot if i'm sure i can do it once i'm better at the game). thanks for the guide anyway was cool to read	Posted by ZonnaK on Dec 4, 2018, 7:28:53 PM Quote this Post
Looks like legacy BoR is coming back, pretty nice buff for this build.	Posted by BigBlappa on Dec 4, 2018, 9:08:14 PM Quote this Post

If you want to run Lightning strike and get pierce or chain going then it's a decent happy medium as it does a lot more base damage than Frost Blades	Posted by Say_Ten on Dec 5, 2018, 10:04:22 AM Quote this Post

Also the Herald of Purity minions supposedly do more damage? IDK I was fucking destroying shit before they could spawn. Doesn't look like much else is going to affect us.

hey man , im thinking of running this in 3.5 where there any major changes for 3.5 we should take note for? im really liking this build cause its so cost effective . im a cheap skate cause league starter chars need to be cheap and this hits that no issues	Posted by kitoace on Dec 5, 2018, 1:45:53 PM Quote this Post
Thanks for the answers guys. If i slightly change this build to add some cold/elemental dammage to go hard on frostblade could i use dual strike for bosses?	Posted by ZonnaK on Dec 5, 2018, 11:03:22 PM Quote this Post
