Now that I think about it, Berserker is pretty strong. Just kinda scared of the 5% increased damage taken (makes it a lot harder to run high tier maps imo as well as doing deathless uber runs). Offensively though, Berserker is the best choice that I can see so far for this build. Any other ideas for the 2nd ascendancy, though?

I'm not opposed to testing it, by all means. I just know the answer beforehand because 2.2 does not affect CtF in any way. Fire was better than cold before 2.2, and it will still be better than cold.

We always had 3 MORE mods: CtF effectively gives you 15% MORE.

Hypothermia doesn't work where you need it most. Enough said.

And with cold damage you are more vulnerable to reflect: AA helps against fire but not cold, and you will chill and freeze yourself even with Auxium.

Well... I give you the reflect point, this might be relevat, altho if yo don't sleep while playing it shouldn't really matter.

I also accept defeat in the fact that Hypothermia won't work against most bosses. It would still do more dmg than AoF, that was all I wanted to discuss, because more dmg is always good. I just didn't thought about that the downsides might be that huge.

But "CtF effectively gives you 15% MORE" is just wrong to say. Yes, it increases your damage, but it's still not calculated as a more modifier, it just gives very much increasedmg for 1 skillgem.

Guys do you think this build can handle twinned t15 maps and other challenges when gear not optimized (in new league)?

Yes, probably with some deaths. My gear is only about half-way 'optimized', and I do those things deathless and almost risk-less. It can definitely be done with lesser gear. You can always choose easier mods to complete challenges.

This build is extremely safe, but Core Malachai can still wreck me if I get sloppy. Nothing else comes even close to him though.

P.S. I've just looked at the Perandus League kill challenges. Yes, those will be pretty easy with this build. Acquiring WI in a new league will be harder than completing those challenges. That's the only issue with this build: it can't be your 1st in a new league. Make whatever cheap and easy for farming first, level the gems while at it, and whenever you get your hands on this staff - time to shine.

Also, this is NOT a build to race to lv 100 with. If speed running thru Gorge for days non-stop is your thing, go with Vaal Spark or w/e.

How hard is it to farm The incantation in cruel until you get a WI? If it's possible what skills would you play with to grind the WI? Firestorm?
