4 Different Cold Builds for Raider | High Budget | End game | Path of Exile

Timestamps

0:01 - Intro 1:26 - Dual Strike 4:57 - Flicker Strike 10:04 - Frost Blades 15:29 - Ice Crash

Information

All of the builds are designed for both mapping and boss killing.These are all high budget builds so do not try any of these as a league starter.You can absolutely play without Awakened Multistrike.DPS is 10million+ on all skills so you will be fine.Frost Blades is the worst one for boss killing so i recommend it to be a mapper instead.I was trying to figure out things while i was recording the videos so the final versions have more health(especially on ice crash) and maybe a little less dps.(About 1m loss) So expect 5.5k+ life on all builds.Only Ice crash is based on Cluster jewels, while other 3 builds only use one medium jewel.I didn't use the Saviour but it is recommended for Dual Strike and Flicker Strike.Finally i'm writing a detailed gear explanation at the bottom so check that out if you need more info about my gear.Enjoy!

Gear explanation

Weapons

Dual wield two foils (rare 400+dps with 6+crit, 2+attack speed) You can try the Saviour,it works well with Dual and Flicker Strike. You can use a Paradoxica with Elemental pen + Crit chance(or Attack speed) until you get 450+ foil. Helmet

Get the desired helmet enchant(85+ilvl and has no influence) This is very important otherwise you can't craft "Nearby enemies has -9 cold resistance." Then slam it with Redeemer's exalted orb and craft it with alterations or frigid+pristine fossils.You can also use Shaper base helmets for increased elemental damage but don't forget that there is no Shaper exalted orb so you need to get the helm with influence or use Awakened orb. Body Armour

Rare chest with "Attacks have %x Critical chance" Get tier 1 and roll it to 1.4-1.5 with divine orbs if necessary.Focus on high life and also open prefix to craft %8 life/mana. Gloves

Hands of the High Templar is an excellent item for raider.You can get "+1 Frenzy charge" and "Curse enemies with Elemental weakness" on it for very cheap(2-3ex) If you want to spend more, get attack speed,attacks have crit,life.This gloves also has %life and resists on them which makes it even better. Boots

Rare boots with tailwind modifier.Focus on life and resists.These builds use Leap slam for mobility so actually you can skip movement speed entirely to make the boots cheaper.It's up to you. Amulet

Life,attributes(int/str whichever you need),resists.For damage stats get at least high crit multi or a tier 1 physical damage to attacks.If you can get both then you are awesome.Make sure you have open prefix so you craft "Increased area or Melee Strike range" depending on what you are playing.And don't forget to annoint your amulet.Check PoB for details. Rings

If you struggle with attributes and resists, then use x2 rare rings(opal or vermilion recommended) and put life,resists,str/int and % elemental damage with attack,physical/cold dmg to attacks.If you are fine with res and stats, use Mark of the Elder.Then you need your other ring to be at least Shaper influenced. More expensive one requires the ring to also have Elder influence.You need to use Awakener orb to combine two different rings to get both influences on one ring.Then simply craft it with whatever you want(essence,alteration,fossils etc.) Belt

Stygian vise with elemental damage attacks,life and 2-3 resists.Make sure you buy/craft something with open prefix so you can slam Hunter's exalted orb to get %life roll.If you get something else,simply sell the belt for high price and repeat the process.You will make profit most of the time so it is easy to try this. Jewels

Check PoB for details. Watcher's eye with Hatred converts physical to cold is needed for Dual,Flicker and Ice crash.You don't need this for Frost blades.If you have more currency combine it with Precision crit multi or attack damage/attack speed.Or maybe another hatred mod.If you are playing Frost Blades, get one with Hatred Cold Penetration. For cluster jewels, Ice crash uses large,medium and small ones so check PoB.But there is something i use on all of the builds so i'm just gonna explain it here.Medium jewel with Cold conduction,Stormrider and jewel socket.Cold conduction let's your cold damage also shock, Stormrider helps you generate power charge when you shock a chilled enemy.So these 2 mods work together.This is a very powerful combination for any crit cold build. Rare jewels: Life, crit multi, attack speed, int/str whatever you need.
