3.25 Frost Blades Warden - Final Update, Min-Maxing Options - SSFHC TIME!

hey guys thanks for checking out my video it's time for the final update I think on the frost blades Warden I'm still level 98 I didn't uh bother trying to XP push anymore past this I think I'm pretty much done with the character at this point I'll talk a little bit more about that later uh I've made a bunch of upgrades to my gear which I'll go over later but I'll start the video off with this with the map showcase here I'm going to run this Dunes uh veritania map uh with Maven so let's do

that you guys can see with build looks like I hit my plus two strike gloves and a bunch of other upgrades uh the other day I'm uh still no heat shiver though I could have gotten a heat shiver uh basically given to me by somebody else that's in my private League uh but I kind of thought about it and decided that I didn't really want one uh and uh oh yeah my loot filter I changed my loot filter because I'm I'm uh spoiler alert I uh I'm going to solo self found hardcore now I started

that on stream today and uh so I have uh super scuffed like regular strictness loot filter on yeah the warden uh it basically it met or exceeded All my expectations for the league it has very very excellent damage the survivability is basically the same as the trickster which is highly linked to your play Style by by the way uh as long as you have all the right you know foundational pieces of the build on which are very important uh cover all that in my video about defenses uh except for like ailment immunity I think is

the only thing and as long as you play you know move around a lot you play the build the way it's meant to be played uh you're you're not going to have much issues with survivability time to up and damage is just absolutely fantastic so here's the triple boss and we'll go in Kill veritania real quick got one Shrine on me I'll click that off for veritania I'm going to VS kind of ahead of time and then you can see she dies in about one second so the DPS is excellent and my claw isn't great

uh I don't have don't have Fizz damage on it I don't have a heat shiver uh my lethal pride has like no damage on it there's tons and tons of more upgrades I could still get for this character I have no cluster Jewel I'm level 98 with no cluster Jewel which is insane so yeah there's the map that's what the build character looks like uh here's the stuff I'm going to talk about in this video uh my new gear first let's go over that so I made this claw I was using hatred Essences and I'm

because I was in a private League I was very very starved for resources so I hit this tier one attack speed with lightning damage and I decided to just keep it and multimod on it because it was still a significant upgrade over the previous claw I had uh and I went with the strength and int crit uh because I'm pretty strength and in starved a little bit still because I don't have strength on my lethal pride and uh you're going to be in starved a little bit on this build especially if you go two taming

which I'll talk about more later uh still same helmet no heat Shiver I changed my anoint to just static blows on the amulet to try it out I think this is a very very strong option uh it'll give you very long shock s uh sustain all the time even when you don't use VLS VLS pretty much gets you at Perma shck but without VLS even you can get up to like 60 65 shock even with just Frost blades which is like better than having Yol it's it's so good man so so good uh I made

a new Shield I had to settle for this one because uh I wasn't able to get the attack speed on it because I ran out of harvest juice but this one just has tier one suppressed with tons of life so decent um made a new ring which I wanted lots of int to solve my int problem and then I hit life uh with chaos res so this is a decent ring if you're not going to use two taming I suggest you use an amethyst ring otherwise it's going to be very very tight on chaos res

capping uh and then get some int on it too I suggest and then still a taming my chest is still the same one it's uh pretty good I hit my plus two strikes I made new gloves I did reforge chaos until I hit tier one accuracy and then I did suffixes can't be changed reforge speed I had to do that twice until I hit the tier one attack speed and then I did reforge lightning to guarantee the lightning damage so that I could get my lightning damage that I need somewhere uh I could redo the

prefixes better to get like really high life as well but I don't have the currency for that in my private league so I just settled for this and then I hit the plus two strikes and Pierce uh I think it took me 17 orbs of conflict to get this plus two strike I had eight originally and I bricked all eight of them and then I farmed another nine and it took me all nine of them to hit it so 17 total uh but yeah the gloves are very nice I have a very very nice belt

that I made I used I made this with Envy Essences uh I just hit um hit the resists with the Envy Essence and the life and then uh I Redeemer slammed on the cold damage so pretty lucky craft here actually but this is a this is a very very nice stigi in here that would probably never be replaced unless you went uh for a unique belt and then same Jewel which is good I made new boots with a loathing Essence uh with avoid ailments I hit double res which was good and big tier one life

with some Rarity so I kept that for sure and then uh the avoid ailments I I am able to avoid ailment cap now without avoid ailments on the shield so I used to have avoid ailments on my shield too but I rolled it on the implicit here instead so now I have uh I have 56 avoid ailments here and then 24 here so that's 80 and then there's 20 on the tree on the thick skin wheel so that's all you need I'll talk a little bit more about how you can minmax that later and then

I upgraded my flast a little bit I got curse effect uh crit evasion with flask on crit uh tinctures a little better higher attack speed with qual and then my tree is pretty much the same I unspec the crit wheel and the strike wheel uh and I moved those points over here for stun immunity which I'll talk more about in a minute and then uh where else did I put them a couple masteries extra and then it's another another the the other side of the cold wheel here it's when you don't have a cluster Jewel

at this high level you're pretty much uh oh and the tincture wheel here too you're you're you're running out of options on where to put your points when you get to this high level without a cluster Jewel and uh so that's where I'm at I did make this cluster Jewel and I considered putting it on it would have been an upgrade but that's around the point when I decided that I think I was just done with the build so uh I did do uh the some tier 17s as you can see here uh I did

the feared and uh so yeah let's keep moving on down my list here the fear down I have a clip of that right here I'll show you guys what it looked like this is the feared I ran it was Giga hasted feared with fizz's extra cold uh and I'll play this on double speed for you just so you can see how it went so first in at Ziri came out first and uh I melted her down pretty quick and I wanted to I wanted to highlight this the shock Stacks so this is with no VLS

yet and you can see the shock here I can get up to 50 there 60 right when I use my VLS uh you know you can see 50 55 shock there with no VLS like that's very very strong and that's all from the anoint and so I killed at Ziri first and then Elder melted down almost instantly and then I struggled a little bit on the other three because I stood in some shaper balls I died a couple times here uh I got hit by some shaper balls and then uh came back in and dashed

over into some DJ I think right here some D gen over on the side on the right side right there and then I came back in I accidentally moved too early and died one more time to a slam so that that death was kind of just skill issue uh and then I cleaned up the rest of it here cortex down and so there you go that was the fear pretty easy overall uh you know you could do it deathless easily especially if you had way more damage and you you know played it played it properly

or if you just W it rolled it white that was a pretty juicy fear to be doing in a private league with a scuffed character uh but no problem okay so I got stun immunity and the way you can get stun immunity is with tattoos basically the tldr so you have this avoid stun and avoid ailment chest craft here which gives you 25% and then uh oh um hold on let me let me uh let me d& D for a second you can get a void stun right here which I took which I don't recommend

I just took this because I'm such I have nowhere else to put my points and then I got five stun avoid tattoos on the tree that I put over here so this is 100% stun avoidance so I'm stun immune uh but then if you don't have those points you can still use the tattoos and you can just use a avoid stun uh flask like this one and then when your flasks are up you can be uh immune to stuns which is very nice instead of uh curse reduction so that's a very good option for you

guys okay I'm talk about some progression points for you guys when you accuracy cap I'm seeing a lot of people that are aren't doing these things when you get accuracy on your gloves and you accuracy cap you don't need to keep uh this wheel right here so get accuracy on your gloves and then that lets you drop this wheel okay that's a very important Milestone that's four points back okay when you get your plus two strikes on your gloves then you can drop this wheel that's five points back so those are two very important things

to do on the gloves gloves are very very important the gloves save you like nine points if you get good gloves okay and then once you have all those points back oh excuse me I'm still sick guys that's when you want to go to a cluster Jewel cuz you're going to have all these extra points on the tree like I do with nowhere to put them uh and get yourself a nice cluster Jewel that's how you like take the build to the next level amulet choice I get questions still constantly about amulet what about yoke

okay Fury valve is the best amulet for mapping okay it's it cannot be beat it's unbelievably good for mapping if you're doing bossing yok is the best but it's probably not needed at all just use what whatever just keep on Fury valve or you know put on some other amulet with damage or you know whatever it's it's not that important I don't think if you're absolutely mid maxing then just get a yoke anoint Choice static blows is what I'm doing for shock up time I think this is a very compelling Choice especially if you use

VLS for rage uh because VLS will give you all the rage you need and then as long as you have one rage node on your lethal Pride like this you'll be able to sustain it when you're fighting a boss uh regardless veterans wrath can be anointed for uh your own more rage generation uh and up time but I don't know I'm kind of torn on that choice I don't I didn't have the golden oils to test it anyway uh and then if you don't really want to do either one of those things you can just

come into po go to your amulet click on the anoint button and click on sort by DPS and pob will show you which anoints uh have the most give you the most DPS so you can just come and choose one of these ones if you want Divine judgments very decent uh and cheap uh but there are some some better ones for most people uh so yeah just choose whichever one anoint you want there's it's a pretty flexible slot nowadays double taming implications I'm going to talk about this for a minute if you use two taming

the rest of your gear needs to be perfect basically otherwise you're not going to be chaos capped you're not going to be suppress capped uh your attributes are going to be in big trouble uh Etc so if you have perfect gear on the rest of your slots then it's fine to use two taming uh two taming are insane damage but it's going to create a lot of friction on the rest of your gear so keep that in mind you better have perfect gear if you're going to use two taming okay guys unique belt is sort

of the same thing uh belt gives you a lot of flexibility for res capping and it's lots of extra life uh and you can get lots of damage out of a rare belt too so if you're going to use Head Hunter it's probably not going to matter but any other unique belt like darkness and thron in particular might be the absolute best gig turbo late game minmaxed belt but like I said before the rest of your gear has has to be perfect if you're going to do that okay mid maxing ailment avoidance so if you

want and you have ancestral Vision the best minmax way to get ailment avoidance is with ancestral vision and then with a perfect avoid ailment implicit if you orb of conflict avoid ailments up to perfect it can get to 30% and you get 30% from the implicit and then you get 20% from thick skin and then the rest of it comes from ancestral vision and that's it that's all you need need to avoid ailment cap is a perfect boot implicit and that's it that's what you're going to need to do if you want to use two

taming and a unique belt that's what you're going to have to do because your suffixes are going to be so tight you're not going to be able to afford to get avoid ailments anywhere else okay uh so yeah and then other endgame Giga minmax stuff uh probably I haven't done a lot of pobing for Turbo late game investment setups because I just don't usually take the build that far uh it's it's possible that pandis packed cold damage up here is the best uh it's possible that double large cluster Jewel might be the best uh large

cluster Jewel with two mediums could also be very strong uh I haven't really taken the build to that point because I just usually don't invest that much in my builds especially since I stopped playing trade league but if you're interested in seeing like turbo Giga min max late game setups uh follow the Discord and check out uh spra another guy in the community he does a lot of that stuff and you might find some inspiration there uh so yeah that's that I think for the build I think I'm done with it for now though I

kind of thought about it and decided that there's not really much else I really am motivated to do on it because the build's just too good it's too good guys I I wanted to move on I wanted a challenge so I decided uh to roll hardcore solo sell found so I started doing that I got to level 63 on the on the Block bleed glad so that's what I'm going to be playing now for a while and I'll see where that takes me uh so I'm having fun with that the league mechanic one last thing

I'll talk about I think the lead mechanic is starting to starting to wear on me a bit guys the the ship management and the map management it's so much loot it's so much loot but it's also so annoying to go go manage it all and collect it all and you know send everything out and put the maps in loot the maps put more maps in loot the ships put more it's it's just it's getting to be a lot already so I don't know I have mixed feelings about the league mechanic but I am having a

lot of fun in the game still uh so that's what I'm going to be doing uh for a while so come by the stream uh say hi twitch.tv/ dispe and I think that's it for this one hope you guys enjoyed the build thanks for playing it thanks for all the support and the feedback oh so dying IRL and uh thanks for watching guys I'll see you next time
