Dear Exiles! Today, the Professional Gaming Store MmoGah will show you a useful Path of Exile Build, which is about Cold Ethereal Knives. You can watch the original video or read this article to learn more details.

 

 

EQUIPMENT

Mandatory Uniques

Ring of blades viridian jewel:

You need this unique jewel in order to cast Ethereal Knives in all directions.

 

Hrimsorrow goathide gloves:

- 50% of Physical damage converted to Cold Damage

- Since we are using Hatred, converting as much Physical damage to Cold damage as you can is a great way to scale damage and grant those sweet explosions.

 

The covenant spidersilk robe:  

- Socketed Gems have Blood Magic, so you don’t have to worry about Mana.

- 10% increased Maximum Life.

- Socketed Gems are supported by Added Chaos Damage.

 

Essence worm unset ring:

- This Ring gives the chance to use an Aura without reserving more mana.

- Let’s use it to boost our DPS with the Aura Hatred.

 

Recommended Uniques

Singularity platinum scepter:

- Honestly, Singularity gets the best DPS results and even grants the Hinder Effect that increases survivability.

- To beat it you should buy a GG dagger with 20% Phys as extra Cold damage, 20% Elemental Damage as Extra Chaos Damage and a bunch of Critical Chance. And even then, the difference won’t be that big.

- During the gameplay I’ve used a rare Dagger and a rare Sceptre, with Physical as extra Cold and Physical as extra Fire, both with Elemental as extra Chaos Damage. Long story short the PoB DPS was almost the same with Singularity.

 

Recommended Rare Helmet

A sharper helmet also grants a benefit for this build:

- socketed gems supported by level xx hypothermia.

- The following is an example, they are quite cheap.

- We are equipping Vaal Blade Vortex on this helmet. It will help our single target damage.

 

Recommended Flasks

Divine Life Flasks:

- Your Divine Life Flasks must have Instant Recover.

- To maximize your defenses, looking for “Immune to Bleeding” and “Immune to Freeze and Chill” as secondary Stats.

 

Quicksilver Flask:

- Another good choice if you want more speed.

- Best Mods for QuickSilver Flasks are “Increased Movement Speed During Flask Effect” and “Increased Duratuion”.

 

Sulphur Flask:

- 40% increased damage

- Extra Life Regeneration

- When fighting big bosses replace the Quicksilver flask for one of these.

 

Stibnite Flask:

- Great Flask for a great Evasion Boost and blind source for your enemies.

- Best Stats for Stibnite Flasks are “Increased Evasion Rating During Flask Effect” and “Increased Duration”.

 

Diamond Flask:

- For more Crits

- Look for Increased Duration and Increased Evasion as Secondary Mods.

 

Atziri’s Promise Amethyst Flask:

- An offensive Flask that provides a huge boost to your DPS and also increases your Life Leech.

 

Sin’s Rebirth Stibnite Flask:

- This Flask is awesome, it will give all the benefits from a regular Stibnite Flask and also a big DPS boost.

- Use it instead of the Magic Stibnite Flask.

 

My Gameplay Gear

This is the gear I’ve used to record the gameplay seen on this guide. Please note that my equipment is not perfect, you can achieve way more with an expensive one. Every piece is fully linked.

 

Recommended Enchantments

Of Reflection

- Creates a clone of you that attacks with your weapon. Good for not taking all the damage.

Ethereal Knives Speed

Penetration

- Damage penetrates 10% of enemies’ elemental resistances if you haven’t killed recently.
