Hey Zish! Just posting to say thanks for all the work and showcasing on the Frost blades vids this season and the crafting guides from previous seasons. Genuinely most fun I've had as a semi casual player and so much so that I've pushed into the 120M DPS according to POB, something I dont think I've ever achieved before 😅. Looking forward to your SSFHC runs!
You blasted through the whole game like it was nothing. FB is so good man, amazing as always, especially now with Warden. And now here we go with SSFHC, I'm having so much fun just watching you play the Bleed Gladiator that I'm thinking of making one myself.
Thanks for the updates this zish. I leak started this in a small group Private league. I managed to get a lethal pride with three double damage nodes, a melee crit chance, a melee damage and two life leech nodes.
I got a shipment from the league mechanic that gives me +1 all skills with +70 Int and Dex after catalyzing it. Insane drop that solved all my int issues. Other than that, 2 tamings, heat shiver and a 550dps claw I still use from white maps. Damage is insane and only lvl 92 right now. Defienetly my new favorite build. I used to me a LA/TS andy but this one is so much more fun to play. Thanks for the great build.
I died like 150x during the campaign and I've been playing since Incursion so it's not like I don't know the mechanics. 2nd lab I took barksin and re-specced later and that made the build feel much better during leveling. To be honest I had a few doubts but once the build took off it really ripped. Thanks for posting the build.
Im having trouble using tincture, like in your film it lasts only few seconds till my mana ends. What's the point of using it can you explain please? Thank you
Following you since Affliction, you single handedly hooked me on this game. Warden feels great, but bossing is kinda sad, at least with current gear. Looking for more info and you mentioned Discord. Link in description is dead, could you provide another one? Thanks!
Hey Zish, quick question. I've been farming a ton with high rarity, but can't seem to find the Berek's respite to craft a taming. Any tips on getting there faster? I've also tried running atoll/crater for div cards, but they don't seem to drop much either.
hi zish what map modes can you not run? besides obvious ones like no leech and ele reflect, i found out the hard way that phy reflect cant be run cause of vaal ls. I also avoid mods like: poison no regen mana/life % avoid ele ailments not sure about temp chains yet
Hey there, you are the reason I started playing my favorite skill again and it feels amazing. One question though. In your first pob where you have some loadouts like Day 1, Week 1 etc your gem setup is with inspiration, el dmg with att, but in this one you have cold to fire and trinity. So which is better?
Am I tripping or can I not find any rage on hit nodes when I'm searching for Lethal Pride jewels? The "Find Timeless Jewel" option in PoB does not show this node. How did you get yours?
Great build as always - it's definitely very strong. Tinctures push it even further and I believe will definitely get nerfed by next league. Cheers for another great build Zish
What's your character sheet crit chance please? I never know how these are set up in pob... I sit at 32% unbuffed while your pob shows 100% so .. confusion strikes :(.
Hello Zish, I'm loving the build but I don't understand why you take the dagger mastery, is it for the elusive effect + nightblade effect but you don't get the attack speed, right?
hey, quick question about avatar of the wild, i really 99% of the time forget to even activate it in maps, and i usually lways kill end game bosses before i get to 100 stacks, so since its not really doing anything for me, what would be another ascendant node youd go for?
Brother I'm so confused on accuracy cap, are you hitting it through just the t1 accuracy alone in the high-end phase of the pob? I noticed precision is level 10 in the pob but i cant get mine past like level 2 because of the mana cost. I only have 41 unreserved mana even though i have more mana than the pob and the same amount of mana reservation efficiency.
@@ZishPOEthanks for the reply, do you plan on making any builds or any starts for it? Seems like the meta is pretty much defined. This is going to be a league with extra of everything
@Zish about how long do you think it took you from start to finish for this character? Looking to benchmark for my own play so I can improve my efficiency. Thank you so much for all of the super helpful videos!
How to determine if I'm in accuracy cap? I have 93% chance to hit in HO from C menu, and 100% in PoB. I have accuracy on gloves, not top tier, around 340.
You might have the Accuracy Mastery "50% more accuracy while at Close Range" and in PoB checked in close range (like Zish configurations have), so in PoB you are accuracy capped but in game character menu it doesn't take into account if you are close range or not. That might be the difference.
@@larpera960 right, I have there blind check as well. So I'm guessing I'm good with accuracy then.. however I'm not sure if I'm applying it. I have it on jewel.
@@tylerderden8880 I mean if you are accuracy capped, you are accuracy capped. That's it. You don't need to specifically apply it or nothing. But of course if you are only accuracy capped in close range, you will only be accuracy capped in close range.
@@tylerderden8880 No problem! My pleasure. Also first time I play melee but played few seasons, so I feel more comfortable as I have spent alot of time theorycrafting on PoB with my previous builds in previous leagues. My gameplay is like 50/50 PoE/PoB 😆 (joking .. but also not joking)
Hello again. I am currently aiming for the High budget version of PoB and slowly gathering the needed gear. Got 4 voidstones, everything eplodes in maps on sight, I haven't died for a long time, life is good. One thing is bothering me a bit that I don't understand. Rage. My lethal pride does give me "Gain 1 rage on melee hit" on one passive node, which I DO have allocated, but I never gain any rage in combat. Any idea why is that, please? I would send you PoB but youtube doesn't allow links in comments and I don't see that you have Discord or something like that.
Zish I love your build and its so fun to play. I however made the same build but going CI. Would love som feedback on what to do so I can push the dps further. Would love to come in contact with you just to show u the Pob and get some feedback from you
Hi anyone having corrupted file issue on playstation this league , i deleted and reinstalled the game and everything but it still says corrupted file any help would be great thanks
Lightning strike is always going to have straight up better single target dps because of the doublehit mechanic on top of vaal lightning strike. It will do like 3x as much single target damage as frost blades. However, frost blades has better clear with less investment. Also, my frost blades character roughly following Zish's guide is at ~30 mill dps with unbound up, and ~19 mill dps without it, so I don't have any problems with single target at all and phase most t17 bosses in a second or two of uptime.
@@ZishPOEI see :( I tried to replicate that build but ended up in a pretty rough spot where my damage is decent but im still pretty squishy. I only invested around 80 divines so far so Theres a lot of space for improvement but I’m lost after many changes to champion and the tree/items.
Should start out nice at ~5-10 divs and annihilate all content at somewhere around ~100 divs-ish. I'm out of touch with trade economy so I can't say exactly, I'm entirely SSF
I am still struggling with survival. I have about 1 divine into the build plus some. I do need attack speed on a weapon but it does 550dps currently. Lvl 86
Have a quicksilver flask with chance to freeze, shock and ignite. I did that early in and it helped me a lot because of the crowd control, you can pick 1 "10% leech is instant" passive as well, it was a big deal for me early on, are you using the blind node on the three? Buy a jewel with immunity to corrupted blood as well and slot it on the stygian vise, that will free 1 slot enchant on the flask. Another thing, use instilling orbs for "Use when max charges" in your evasion flask, and Alt Spam it until it reaches "Gain charges on crit strike + #% Evasion Rating during effect". Try to buy a timeless jewel, it will take the strenght pressure out of your gear, I bought mine for 100 chaos, 3 +15% crit multi, 1 30% crit chance, 1 5% chance do deal double dmg, 1 gain 1 rage on hit, you can also look for 1 with 5% chance to gain endurance charge on kill, I didn't felt like I needed it, but it sure can be helpfull. I guess that's all that I did to fix my death problems.
Also, !!SUPPRESS SPELL DMG!!, there is a node on the tree that makes spell suppress chance luky, it rolls again if you fail to suppress it the first time, that one also helped me a lot.
Hey, final update from me. Collected high budget gear, 60M DPS, lvl 99, don't see much space for upgrade anymore. I just deleted The Feared within like ~20 seconds? Deathless. Fastest I ever did it. Without a doubt the strongest build I've ever had, great job on that! I think I'm done with this league, there's really no point for me to farm anymore and the league mechanic feels extremely unrewarding. btw.: your Discord link is expired, I wanted to join
@@ZishPOE Thank you, completely forgot about that pantheon choice, been just waiting to do the feared, also, thanks for this build, I am crushing everything
@@ZishPOE You can self farm all pf that in a day, and I have watched your other videos. I understand you dislike blight, which you stated in a prior video - but its still self farmable. The runes you can get entirely from shipments.
It does work…. But not that good as it states on melee hit so the first hit is melee but the frost bolts that shoot out arnt classed as melee when the hit the other enemy’s so you don’t get the rage from that. It doesn’t seem worth it after testing… better off with double damage nodes
It works - your rage shows above your mana. The rage on hit is more to sustain your rage after you use VLS to generate it, and its definitely worth. Rage is 30% more damage.
@@ZishPOE oh my... ty so much x') I've been playing your build since league start and it feel so good. Frost blade always been one of my favourite skill since ages and been playing berserker befor but warden is a blast. Since I bought the timeless jewel I was looking for the buff on the top of the screen and assumed it is just not working. Ty for your work and tips. Here's a lil clip of me having fun without noticing my rage ramping lmao ruclips.net/video/c81EoG5FKPk/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Im playing Zishs build and my buddy is doing katabasis. FB Warden has far more damage and far superior single target. Normal FB has like 12 projectiles compared to just 1 from katabasis
yeah it’s hilarious to see that the general consensus on reddit is that katabasis has better clear… some of my most downvoted comments overall on that platform are from trying to reason with people blasting Zish’s 3.25 fb warden for being zhp BS just by looking at his day 1 pob…
Thanks for the updates as always! Hope you feel better!

Crit chance tincture?
Or crit flask? Never look at crit % in char panel, its trash. POB allways
In-game crit is kind of useless - it doesn't include your Power Charges, Assassin's Mark, Nightblade(elusive), or Brittle if you use it.
Nice build but what Warden Ascendancy Points we need? :D
