[2.0] Ruinkind's Frost Blades - Dagger Crit (HC/Tempest League)

why are you not using fortify on your whirling blades?

I was like "Ruinkind runs a dagger Frost Blades spec..." and then checked the YT vid.

edit: I ran a similar build today, hit 50,000 tooltip on Frost Blades with Double Doryani's. 16,000 armor, 4 e-charges, Fortify as well. But, running 75+ maps means being constantly lowlife. Bazaar boss charged at me for 4,000 damage, got stunned, 2nd ribbon and K.O. That specific map had zero damage mods. I didn't use Abyssus. Just a hint that you might rethink your defenses.

That's about 8k damage before mitigation if you do the math and you had that exact armor, charges and fortify on. Can it be it was multiple hits with one being a crit? I know GGG increased damage, but without damage mods at all as you say that seems waaaay far fetched.

Because there's no room for it - he said he would be able to fit it in if he manages to run the build off mana instead of blood magic.

Update on my frost blades character: now level 81 with 5L lioneye's vision which added soooo much damage by freeing up those passive points! I think I need a little bit more life before I jump into 70+ maps though, currently at 4.9k. I've already grabbed all the life nodes on the tree so the only option now is jewels, and upgrading gear of course. Also probably need some more phys mitigation. Currently at 30% before endurance charges. How much phys mitigation does your character have Ruinkind?

I'm going to give this build a shot since my other Crit Daggar reave build kind of got boring/too expensive.

Was going to give that Oro's frost blades a try but I'd definitely prefer dagger/shield.

Anyways, since I have a Bino's laying around.. How good/bad would it be for this build. Is a full physical weapon really hurting the damage? Just curious if I should try selling it while leveling or hold onto it.

Enjoyed watching you play this on t3h streamz0rz. Now that I'm rolling Tempestuously, might give it a shot.

having fun with this build.
