PoE Raider, Cold builds

WARNING: THIS BUILD IS MOST LIKELY BAIT but I'm stupid so I'm trying it, if you want good Heatshiver melee then Frost Blades Trickster is probably what you actually want. SC TRADE WARNING: I am 100% six portal pilled and this is not hc viable and probably not ssf friendly either It should be obvious to everyone, but beyond wild strike being in a bad spot for scaling it's in a worse spot to level with. I will be suffering because I like leveling with the skill I want to run. I'll be maybe leveling frost blades until wild strike feels competent, no I will not test this before league start. W

I posted my little raider here before but after a brief dalliance with infinite Vaal Molten Strike I decided I liked this better and specced back to it and upgraded it a little. It's _fun_. Reports indicate we need 140% inc projectile speed which is easily achieved thanks to the massive 50 from dagger mastery, then we have 23 from gem, 30 from helmet enchant, 15 from Vengeant Cascade which is 118% inc, so that's x2.18 and 15% more from projectile mastery is another x1.15 which comes to x2.5070 -- PoB says 2.51 I am not sure whether it's rounded up or down but luckily it doesn't matter: the vid

has my goal and the "Default" tree/skillset is where I am at, real character. It only uses one very cheap rare, everything else is a unique, two were somewhat pricey: heatshiver was 45c, 5L Daresso's was 40c. From where I am to the goal I do not need to change items at all, it's just gem levels and skillpoints. More can be done later, this will be enough to very comfortably fill the atlas and do the story big bosses. Once again I started with running Heists with a pConc Raider and while it's no longer endless, I managed to run quite a few of them (I made a snapsho

If EC was a well designed skill then the interesting aspect (flask usage) would be extremely beneficial to the skill. As it is, this is not the case. &x200B; This isn't going to be a math heavy post, but long story short, you can only regenerate so many flask charges, and that number is way lower than what you need to constantly use sapphire/topaz flasks outside pure mapping. The new sapphire/topaz flasks are quite good, but really only modestly better than just slapping on a diamond flask and require massive investment to sustain. The recent 3.21 change to EC which makes you use massive am
