[3.25] The White Wind Warden | Frost Blades & Katabasis | Tincture 100% uptime

3.24 update

I won't have time to rework the build completely.
For the moment, I've made some simple changes that have significantly improved the DPS. Now, it feels much better.

PoB : https://pobb.in/DOgDQnmuslPl
Up to 5M DPS (Vaal Haste, no flasks)

* Regular Frost Blades
* Added +1 target on the gloves
* Added Brittle ground on the boots
* Replace Inc Crit Chance with Elemental Dmg
* Yoke of Suffering amulet is getting buffed in 3.24, with up to 10% to dmg taken by enemies per type of ailments on them (we inflict all three).

I'll continue to make improvements in 3.24. I may test Spectral Helix again.

First post has been updated.

Good luck and have fun !

Demo video in 3.24, with Frost Blades :

#1 : The Frostwalker

PoB : https://pobb.in/DOgDQnmuslPl

DPS : 4.4M (Melee), 4M (Blades)
No buffs, no flasks

Hope you like it, good luck, have fun, Exiles :)

By request, here is a PoB link for league start :

https://pobb.in/PbTcnEq7djaS

Updated from the beginning of 3.16 Scourge league. Character is level 84, but the stuff requires level 70 max.

All you need to begin is the White Wind and Evasion stuff with life and res.

Before using the White Wind, you can level with a pair of Mightflay daggers (lvl 35), then the Widowmaker (lvl 44).

Get +1 target on the gloves (Searing Exarch Eldritch implicit) as soon as you can.

Hi Exiles,

here is an update of the build :

Frost Blades on a 6-link
I have added Frost Blades of Katabasis (FBK) on a 4-link with Bonechill support to increase the cold dmg enemies take.

Playstyle :
I hit once with FBK to spread chilling ground and then I spam regular FB.

Up to 4.5M DPS (no vaal buffs, no flasks).
(With all buffs and flasks, >7M DPS.)

Here is a new demo video with this setup :

#2 : The Breachrunner

This is a medley of the 5 Breachstones, with Uul-Netol and Chayula fights with Maven.

Hope you like it, good luck and have fun !

(edit)
oh nvm I found information that i needed xD

Improved setup with Trinity support

Last time, I have added Frost Blades of Katabasis (FBK) as a secondary skill to get the Bonechill support bonus (chilled enemies take % inc cold dmg).
I have improved this setup by adding Cold to Fire to FBK. Now the skill deals a majority of fire dmg, while regular FB deals a majority of cold.
Then, by linking Trinity support to FB and FBK, you can proc the Resonance buff.
Compared to the previous version, you get 15% more DPS.

Demo video :
#3 : The Cortex fight.

Monster and big robots are easily frozen and destroyed. The skill is now quite efficient both for farming and bossing.

DPS :
4M (Ancestral Call), 5.4M (Elem Dmg), 8.7M (full buffed)

*

On a side note, I was able to quickly level from 94 to 96 with an XP setup :
* On the Atlas tree, get full buffs for Shrines and Breach. Add Packed with Energy (dmg, movespeed and max elem res per sulphite collected)
* 1 Domination Scarab of Teaching : 30% inc XP gained per Shrine buff
* Breach Scarabs and/or Domination Scarab
* Domination or Breach on the map device.

Stack as much Shrine buffs as possible, get the sulphite packs, then open the Breaches. Get tons of XP !
I could easily gain 15% of XP per map between 94 and 95, then 10% between 95 and 96.
Map of choice : Dune.

Hope you like this, good luck and have fun !

3.25 update : The White Wind Warden

Hi Exiles,

Here is a complete update of the build, which is now a Warden.
First post has been updated.

PoB : https://pobb.in/MdGLgBU-HQNq

At first, I was disappointed to lose the nice features from the Raider (Frenzy charges, Onslaught, Spell Suppression). But then, I understood that Tinctures are amazing addition to the game, especially with the bonuses the Warden gets for them.
With proper investment in Ascendancy and skill tree, you can get 100% uptime with Tinctures.
This Prismatic Tincture grants 75% more DPS !



With Unbound Avatar, you also get 80% more elem dmg for 10 sec.
On the Ascendancy, Oath of Winter is a very powerful buff to Freeze mechanics.

Here is a demo video with all these new features and technical details for 100% Tincture uptime :

#1: The White Wind Warden

And this is how you perma-chill/freeze Chayula ;)

Hope you like it, good luck and have fun !

Hello, thx for sharing your build, i like it.

Build showcase on Poebuilds /Reddit.

Heya, I'm trying your build but I'm having problems deciding what statuses should I look for in the Timeless Jewel.

Should I focus Crit Chance > Crit Multiplier > Leech > Life > Armour > Resist

OR

Crit Multiplier > Crit Chance > Leech > Life > Amour > Resists?


Great build btw. Thanks a lot!
