amazing build ,lame question coming in hehe if used as a league starter what should i use untill i can get the One With Nothing
Small Cluster Jewel? and what would be the most optimal way to gear up ? thank you

Hey there! not lame at all.

I used Frost Blades 1H + Shield for the leaguestart levelling section, then swapped to Ice Crash at the end of act 3. It can use all the same supports.

Once you have the jewel respec into the Hollow Palm tree. Your first set of gear can be rare items with Life + Resists + DEX. I would prioritize a 5L Wildwrap and Astramentis, and also flasks are very important. We have several strong upgrades in the 20-40c range which is nice.

Thanks a lot for posting this build! I decided to pick this up just last week and had a really great time with it, even after just picking up Path for the first time ever in very late May! The build really takes off once you're able to pickup the One With Nothing jewel.
Hoping to see it get updated with whatever may change with Harvest!

Will add a section talking about any Harvest changes near the top of the guide! So far we know Ice Crash is getting buffed, and graphically updated which is awesome.

Thinking of making this next league, will wind dancer be good for this? it's 2 points to get it but i don't know if it's worth.

It's good oneshot protection, basically like having an additional fort buff for one hit. The 20% more evasion isn't super useful once we have taken a hit though.

I was thinking about going with something a little different next league this build seems fun good dps and tanky. How would you go about obtaining Hollow Palm in SSF as early as possible since ice crash can't be used with claws, should I just stick to frost blades till then?

Once you're in act 3 start looking for a good rare axe or sceptre, both work with ice crash. If you can't find one just make one with the vendor recipe. I did run frost blades through act 10 into maps on my test run so its viable as well.

Doryani's Catalyst is a pretty good SSF ice crash weapon, and we like the flask so a few atziri runs might not be a bad idea.

Looked through patch notes and updated the tree, we can grab wind dancer at the cost of 8% hp.

Ice crash buffed bigly, dual wield bonus phys nerfed. In the end we probably lost some dps but not a huge amount.

We dont need conversion on our watchers eye anymore as ice crash now 100% converts.

Build is good to go for 3.11 Harvest!

Hello, I want to try this for my league start it looks rly great.

By experience do you know if the jewel is expansive at the start of the league and if so is it still cool to play the first few maps etc without hollow palm ?

Thank you for your guide.

We're not sure how expensive One With Nothing will be, but yes mapping without it works fine. I was able to jump right into maps after act 10 using frost blades and 100% self found gear.
