↖ Gameplay: Icy Pros & Cons
- Frost Blades Fun: A real crowd-pleaser, Frost Blades is easy to pick up but packs a serious punch. Ideal for those who like keeping things straightforward and effective.
- Totem Tactics: Love setting up traps and watching your enemies turn into popsicles? This build's got your name on it. Just a heads up, though – there's a slight delay in the action, kind of like waiting for your ice cream to soften.
↖ Early Game Leveling
- Starting Strong with Spectral Throw: Dependable up to level 28, after which you'll switch to the star of the show – Frost Blades.
- Bow Basics: Don't stress over the type; it's all about that base attack speed of 1.5. Short, Grove, or Thicket – just keep it speedy.
- Gem Swaps for Boss Fights: When you're up against the big bosses, swap in Faster Attacks and Lesser Multiple Projectiles for an extra edge.
↖ PoB, Bandits & Pantheon
- PoB Latest and Greatest: We're in a transition phase between 3.22 and 3.23, so keep an eye out for updates on PoB links (https://pobb.in/mOiEc6Rag-27).
- Bandits & Pantheon Picks: Stick to the standard choices, but deep-dive into the PoB for build-specific advice.
↖ 3.23 Updates: What's New and Cool?
- Explosive Arrow Gets Frostier: Now, quality equals more arrows for extra chill. Fast attacks are key here.
- Keeping the Fire Burning: Ignites are still hot, especially with Flammability courtesy of an Archmage's Brand.
↖ Ascendancy and Skill Tree Strategy
- Ascendancy Choices: Make your picks based on your current progress. Early ascension can be beneficial but isn't critical until the Cruel Lab.
- Important Nodes: Watch out for Precise Technique and Elemental Overload – they're like oil and water.
↖ Six Totems: Your Icy Arsenal
- Getting to Six Totems: Use Ancestral Bond, Panopticon, and a Watch Tower anointment for a full six-totem setup.
- Accuracy in Late Game: After completing the Uber Lab, your accuracy concerns vanish thanks to Worthy Foe.
↖ Gearing Up for Success
- Focus on Early Gear: Prioritize life and resistances. The crafting bench will be your best buddy, especially for socket color tweaking.
- Essential Mods: Look for ignite chances on gloves and avoid Pierce – it's the nemesis of your frosty arrows.
↖ Trickster vs. Elementalist: Why Trickster?
A Balanced Choice: Trickster offers a great mix of damage and durability. With new updates, you can enjoy some Elementalist perks while keeping that Trickster toughness.
↖ Bow Selection
Why Short Bow: Despite the common Thicket bows, go for a Short Bow for ease of coloring and managing dexterity requirements. Aim for item level 86 for your late-game crafts.
↖ Duration & Final Tips
- Skill Duration Know-How: Learn how attack speed impacts fuse duration. Opt for damage or time Mastery to extend fuse-building time.
- Flask Essentials: A Granite, Quartz, and Quick Silver Flask are must-haves. Choose bubbling or seething for your life flask to maintain your chill.
And that's all, Exiles! This Frost Blades Trickster guide is set to make your 3.23 league start an exhilarating and frosty experience. Keep an eye on those PoB updates, and let's turn Wraeclast into a winter wonderland!
