Sorry to disappoint you guys, but when I logged in to see FB being the meta and gear being so expensive I changed my mind and did a dark pact build instead haha :P

The tree above that i've provided is still a valid option though, and it looks like there are other FB guides in this forum section as it is so my expertise isn't as necessary here

Pretty much the same thing happened for me - saw prices on ToA and just went "lol ok then". Running a sunder slayer HC this league, will decide later what I want to reroll, but I really enjoyed CI Fblades while it lasted - running Shaper/Chayula was a lot of fun.

For those that still want to try this build: I really loved it in 2.6, and I'm making it again in 3.0. You can follow my character on it's journey towards the higher levels: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/xaitv/characters?characterName=XaiRealBuild EDIT: ripped, so will delete character, was using belly + rare shield + claw I recommend later here

A very good tip for those that think the items are too expensive: is a very nice starter weapon that you can pick up for just 1 chaos(in HHC, didn't check HSC)

What will be my endgame tree(I go claw + shield and not dual wield like Invalesco's own tree): http://poeurl.com/brll

I've found an incandescent heart and a daresso's defiance, wondering which is the better alternative to belly.

daresso's gets free endurance charges, while incandescent gets chaos but will be harder to color. any thoughts?

What's the maximum hp potential of a life based build? Currently at 5400 using 2x toa. Thinking about respeccing for more hp and a phys claw+shield for more hp.

How about new bandits?

Updated my Life Build version a bit:

Life: 7.044
Hideout Tooltip DPS: 338.217 (no charges, no flask, with golem)
PoB Total DPS: 2.33 mio DPS

Hey guys, currently trying out this build in HHC. Currently lvl 82 in budget gear. Could someone more experienced look at my character and tell me what should i focus on now in terms of gear upgrades?

(I dont know how to post gear in here so if you would please look at my profile Character is called walkingaroundblone)

Thanks!

Gear + Taste of Hate Flask for Cold Resis

I have a lvl86 non-crit Frost Blades Raider and it's been working well in lower level maps, great clear speed. I'm starting to think the build I'm using may have some issues against the Guardians and Shaper though, so I wanted to give Invalesco's CI build a try. Since this is my first time doing maps seriously (HC), I don't know if I'll have to balls to fight endgame bosses without a build that's certain to work.

Not sure if it's worth refunding so many points (probably more than 100) to switch to this build, so I'm thinking about starting a new character. This will be my first ES character. Apparently I need to do a life build first and only later respec, right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm under the assumption I won't need that many points to switch to ES.

One more thing. I don't know if this is what the guide is supposed to look like, but the CI and endgame passive trees look confusing to me. There are only a few random nodes taken here and there. None of them are connected. Am I just reading this wrong or is there an issue with the skill tree?

Last but not least, I've never tried Vaal Pact before. Is there anything I should be aware of?
