[2.6] CI FrostBlades Raider/Pathfinder [Permafreeze T15 bosses, 4:17 Shaper Run, 1:49 Chayula timer]

Could anyone that actually played this build give me some advice.

I'm trying to test a raider life/evasion build for 3.0 but even with a good claw, I'm nowhere even near to reach the tooltip dps Invalesco has. I'm currently at 60k in hideout, 140k with flasks and 7 frenzy/3 power charges.

Take a look at my YvanneRichardise character. My jewellery is far from being top end and I don't have Taste of Hate yet but I was hoping I could at least have 100-150k in hideout with a 330pdps claw... Map clearing in T12 is currently a piece of cake but I obviously won't be able to do shit against guardians/Shaper/Uber.

I'm planning on switching to Queen of the Forest or a gg garb later on to stack as much evasion as I can. I was following a guy's guide with dual wield Touch of Anguish but he really didn't have as much hp as I wanted. I want something around 200%, so I aimed for the Scion life wheel and decided to wear a shield and go for a good base of defenses instead. Should I go for a berserker with sword like I saw someone mention above and if I do, what would be my defenses?

is there a way to generate frenzy charges other than Claws of the Magpie's 25% chance to steal? I've tried HoI + Ice Bite Support with very limited success. Is frenzy so unnecessary that I should just ignore it? Thanks!


If you want frenzy charges, you'll have to go raider, which is the mapping version, which is fairly pointless when a pathfinder can just zoom through maps in sub 1min 30sec, even t16's and have far stronger boss killing.

Oh okay, thanks for clarifying!
Will be very interested to see a 3.0 version of this. Frost blades is so much fun. I played a dual wield life version for the Mayhem event and had a blast. Was my ideal kind of league starter build, though I never solved the single target kill speed issues.

I'm bummed I didn't read this guide sooner because I would have liked to try an optimized CI version.
Seems foolish to try and cram it in 2 weeks before 3.0. At a bare minimum it helped explain why my previous build wasn't doing optimal damage.

Any plans to revamp this for 3.0 Invalesco?
Hello,

is this build viable in 3.0 ?

What do you think about dual wielding for this build ?

CI give 50% increase damage in path of build interesting
How will the changes to Chill and Shock effect this build.

Will it still have the ability to "perma freeze t15 bosses"?

Also, Leech/vaal pact is planned to be changed to no longer apply to Energy Shield in 3.0, atleast that's the last I heard on it from GGG.

That would mean the life based version before CI transitioning is the only option.

Here you boys: life version as raider for 3.0:
https://pastebin.com/T5GKdBDb

In that tree I use 1h + shield. Initially DWing two touch of anguish will give better clear speed, but as before, the end game for me with such a build will consist of 1 GG claw and a shield. I think lycosidae is a nice cheap option, but you can use whatever you want ofc. Just need some accuracy on gear, but as a raider acc. isn't the hardets thing to cap! Acuity gloves might be unrealistic, so grabbing vaal pact + for instance shaper's gloves is a very good option.

Hello,

Still CI for 3.0 ?
What do you think about dual wielding ?

Can we expect update for 3.0 ?

If you look at the post above yours, someone has made a life version of this build should you chose to use it.
