Hi, I've been playing the game for sometime but I'm still a novice in the grand scheme of things. I'm super interested in this build and the main question I'd like to ask is: At what various levels aim I looking to use any of the gems? (Aside from wanting to level those that need to be maxed) As soon as I get them? And are there any useful leveling gems that any have found helpful? If so, when would I want to drop them? Thanks for the guide, and for those who are answering questions in advance.

Why is the CWDT in the guide leveled to 20? Isn't that a bit high?

How do you handle the intelligence requirements of Curse on Hit etc?

Have been using your build guide until level 68 now and have been enjoying it a lot. But what about strength and int requirements? During my leveling i was forced to take a 30 int and 30 str node from the tree. According to your leveling guide you get the major strength/int nodes rather late in the leveling process. How did you manage?

How many frenzy charges is everyone getting? Watching the videos I see PewPewPew have 9 charges and I only get 8. I don't think i'm missing a +1 frenzy charge node on skill tree

How does this build do without 2 touch of anguish claws?
I am nowhere near ~140 c to buy 2 of them, which unique claws should i use? Or should i find good rare ones?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, first time playing frost blades.

I've been using Lunaris (major god) and Tukohama (minor god) as my main pantheons.

If I do lab, I switch minor to Ryslatha. If I don't feel like re-rolling an ele reflect map I'll switch to Yugul.

Personally, don't see a point in using Brine King (major). If you have all your ascendancy it's pretty much entirely useless, since when you're phasing (which is 99% of the time for me, past the first few mobs) you're immune to freeze. I either evade or dodge most things, if they have a chance of doing anything. Reduced Chill effect isn't worthwhile either, for the same reason as freeze.

Solaris (major) may be very useful for its main thing and the captured Penitentiary Incarcerator. The other two captures are useless since you really shouldn't be getting crit'd "recently" enough. I guess it could be handy if you have a bunch of maps with mob crit chance rolls and the "dodge is unlucky" mod.

Araakali (major) seems handy, tho is a little too specialized.


Overall, I much prefer Lunaris (major) because pretty much every capture is useful for mitigating/eliminating most damage that makes it past my evasion, dodge, and tiny amount of block. 10% Chance to avoid projectile (spell, attack, etc) damage is handy. 5% chance to dodge attacks+spells if oyu've been hit recently is great for bosses (and doesn't require a recent critical hit, just being hit period which, considering the bullet-hell that goes on frequently makes it pretty decent). If I partied more, the last capture would be useful but i don't often have my golem+totem up so I've not bothered unlocking it. And then there's its main thing (phys reduction and move speed for each nearby enemy), which is exceptionally useful if you're the "gotta go super fast" type, since there should usually be enemies around as you go from pack to pack.

I think Solaris may be a better choice, actually. There's a lot of AoE that goes on. But I would only use a Divine Vessel to unlock its Penitentiary Incarcerator.

Minor gods are very situational.

Overall good vision of this. I picked Brine king for the stun recover (shouldn't be prevent by Phasing no? Only aliement are prevent with that.? if i miss something i'll be happy to know ^^) the other bonus from it are pretty meh yes (for this build)

About Ele reflect rez, i was surprise 1 time with 1 monster who bearly kill me (well, i almost kill myself) and switch to it because of that.
