Level 68 Frost Blades Slayer^3.25

Notes

Important Notes:
If at any point you have unresolvable strength or intelligence requirement issues, allocate one passive in Beef and/or Wisdom of the Glade. You can also use open suffixes and the crafting bench.
Gems from quest rewards and vendor purchases are always enabled in primary sockets ASAP unless specified otherwise.
A single Blacksmith Whetstone can add a lot of damage to your weapon, especially earlier on. Use them when you have extra. (3x Armour Scraps = Blacksmith Whetstone at vendors starting in Act 2)
Bases listed are recommended bases only. If you have a good magic/rare, use it.
Always prioritize Evasion/Armour bases over others for campaign. If you have a good magic/rare of another base type, use it until you find a good Evasion/Armour base.
Gems that you don't have socket space for can be leveled in weapon swap. 

OPTIONAL:
Purchasing gems to level in weapon swap and constantly managing them is completely optional and only serves to save time/resources later. If it seems overwhelming, just grab them when you're going to use them and catch them up.
Always prioritize leveling gems in weapon swap that you will use soon over LS and LS supports. Put others in stash and back in weapon swap when you have space.
Always prioritize buying gems you'll use now over gems to be leveled in weapon swap.
Keep extra 1 handers with 3 various socket colors in stash to swap around which gems you're leveling in weapon swap.
