Talon Winterfrost's Notes

-----PoB 1----- I used Ethereal Knives in the early levels, then quickly swapped to Freezing Pulse. I used Freezing Pulse until I got Wintertide Brand and Creeping Frost from the vendor. -> This is where I switched to Cold DoT. I replaced Creeping Frost with Vortex once I got Vortex from the vendor, then I replaced Wintertide Brand with Vaal Cold Snap. Before respec tree - The basic starting tree, without any respec-ing. Points can be taken in any order. I rushed Mysticism, then Vampirism. Vaal Caress is a broken Cold DoT leveling item. Socket Vaal Cold Snap in here. Dual Rune Dagger Setup with Whirling Blades is super fast, especially with Vaal Caress. Price: Daggers - 2c total Vaal Caress - 1c unique Other gear - SSF gear
