======================================================================================
Frost Blades Gladiator is one of the most iconic builds of the past and patch 2.6.0 specifically. From level 1 to level 95+ you can just level with ONE SKILL. It has great clear speed, moderate boss damage and gains a lot of tankiness through high block chance! Superb League Starter!
======================================================================================
1) PROS
Spoiler

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMmEu8TgNd8&t=200s
+from level 1 to 95+ with ONE SKILL! No need to respec and use other skills!
+great AOE
+high effective HP: can be over 6000+
+max block can easily be reached with Lethal Pride
+crazy ZOOM speed with 10 attacks per second and ZERO move speed!

======================================================================================
2) CONS
Spoiler

https://youtu.be/pMmEu8TgNd8?t=323
-Not the best boss killer, but not the worst either.
-Abyssus build, so fragile against strong physical damage

======================================================================================
3) Skill Tree Progression / Path of Building / Ascendancy / Bandits
For the levelling tree please watch the video guide! Levelling Trees also included within the PoB!

IF YOU GET AN ERROR WHILE IMPORTING OR ANY OTHE ERRORS, IT MEANS YOUR POB IS OUTDATED ORIGINAL VERSION THAT IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED. YOU NEED A "COMMUNITY FORK" ONE TO MAKE IT WORK:
https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding
For Ascendancy: Painforged, Versatile Combatant, Violent Retaliation, Outmatch and Outlast (defense) / Arena Challenger (offense)
Bandits: Alira / Kill All

======================================================================================

Get Frost Blades from Nessa after killing Hillock. Then use any swords with high phys and attack speed:
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/List_of_unique_swords

5) My Actual Gear / End-Game Skills
Spoiler

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMmEu8TgNd8&t=1152s


Shaper amulet can help yopu get power charges without Assassin's Mark, but if you don't have it you can use any high phys/crit amulet:

Perseverance is GREAT (nearly permanent Onslaught) if you can balance your resists, as well as Belt of the Deciever:

For Uber Lab enchant: Helm - 40% Frost Blades Damage, Boots - 16% Inc.Attack Speed
5L Mapping: Frost Blades-Melee Phys-Ruthless-Ancestral Call Support-Multistrike
6L Mapping: Frost Blades-Melee Phys-Ruthless-Ancestral Call Support-Multistrike-Elemental Damage with Attacks
6L Bossing: Frost Blades-Melee Phys-Ruthless-Cold Penetration-Multistrike-Elemental Damage with Attacks
or 6L: Frost Blades-Melee Phys-Ruthless-Maim-Multistrike-Elemental Damage with Attacks

Spoiler

FAQ
1) Why you don't use Blood Rage?
Spoiler

You can use it for Shaper/Atziri/Ubers but for mapping and for the most of the game i found it SUPER ANNOYING. At 10 APS, Blood Rage does not give insane boost, yet it annoys a lot since we degen very fast at 6k HP and Vaal Pact.

2) Can i Kill Uber Atziri / Uber Elder? Shaper at least?
Spoiler

Shaper can be done for sure. I did it quite easily. Uber Elder = maybe if you have really high DPS swords (450-500-600 pdps), insane steel rings and use Blood Rage with Perseverance for permanent Onslaught (so, pretty glass-cannon setup). Uber Atziri can be done without insane DPS i guess. Just need tankiness and quick hands.

I have to say you are using 2 legacy flasks (Lion's roar and Atziri's promise). Also you don't have curse/shock removal/immunity in your build which greatly increases chance to die during mapping. Also you are stating you have high block chance but you have only 43% block which is not high.

Indeed i am using them. I created this build in Legacy League, so i just have them. The extra 5% does not matter though.
As for block chance, i would divide it into 3 categories: low block 20+, high block 40-60 with Rumi, max block 70+ with shield. Assuming many block characters will use Rumi while dual wielding, hence why i would consider this as high block. You can easily run most content with 40 block on the tree or get to 60 with Rumi.

You created this guide with title "[3.3] 2018 edition" not in legacy league but 2 weeks ago and you are using legacy items in it.

Yeah, and what exactly is the problem with that? Character is on standard now. For a long long time already actually. I see absolutely no problem with 2 legacy flasks. They give no impact whatsoever.

Ive been trying this for incursion event, minus a few differences (i play with frostbite coz i don't like kaom boot so i have 4 free socket availiable and with amulet who gives it for free its perfect.) i have the exact Tree you did.
I'm lvl 88, i do 250k dps when all buff/procs and flasks but there is one problem: i'm weak as fuck, i can't even do T13 maps... So i dunno if it's my gameplay whose wrong but...
