Path of Exile Gems PoE Builds, PoE Currency guide and other guides
Intro & build description
This is dual wield build  based on Sidefx’s frost blades build with some tweaks I made when playing the build (You should check out his stream). The build is focused around having lots of attack speed and cold resistance penetration. It’s great as a league starter build because it can do high maps with only a 4-link.
Build Pros
- Cheap but scales well with currency investment
- Fast clear
- Can do Uber Atziri, Guardians and Shaper
Build Cons
- Not meant for HC

Nice stream plug haha 🙂
seems like there is a trouble/issue with the boots and the “faster attack support”
as oer what i saw this is a green gem not a red one.
is it me that asnt seen the red one yet or this is a small error?
thanks
Yeah, I noticed that as well. Seems to be an error; faster attacks support only comes in green. “Concentrated effect support” is also mislabeled. It is a blue gem, not red.
Yeah, it happens sometimes – thanks for telling me! 🙂
It’s an error on our part, sorry! Been fixed now.
For the gloves:
Cast When Damage Taken Support (LVL 8)
Immortal Call (LVL 10)
Ice Golem (LVL 10)
Increased Duration (LVL 20)
What’s the reason for these gem levels? Why shouldn’t you just keep leveling them? I’ve already leveled some of them above these levels, not sure how big of a deal that is…
If the level of Cast When Damage Taken Support is lower, it means that damage threshold for it to trigger will be lower and it will happen more often. If you level it to max, it will only trigger after huge hits.
Oooh, I see! And then Immortal Call and Ice Golem have to be lower, since the level requirement has to be low enough for CWDT to support them. Thank you 🙂
Yes, exactly 😉
still viable in 3.1??? with vaal pact
Sure is 🙂
btw love you guides and builds!
Thank you, good to hear that! 🙂
