Hello Kelvynn! I'm excited to try your build for 3.6. I was wondering if you'll have an estimate when your skill tree will be ready? I'm imagining you'll be updating your leveling guide section as well?

What I'm wondering is if we could possibly selfcast Icestorm now. We got huge cast speed buff, and intensify looks interesting. On max (4) stacks it's one of biggest more damage modifiers (64% MORE!) and it also greatly reduce our aoe which means more shards will hit target. CwC will probably still be better (especially with clear speed boost winter orb gives) but it's worth at least considering imo.

As for the crit, if we can reliably create Consecrated Ground, that's an instant +100% increased crit chance, and we can easily get +100% increased on the tree. With Assassin's Mark, is that not enough crit chance to make it viable? Consecrated Ground also grants ES regen via Zealot's Oath.

Points spent on crit chance/multi = points not spent on Int. So far every attempt to create a crit version of this build failed because of the massive loss of Int. Even if the latest buffs can finally make the crit route viable, the theorycrafting alone would take more time than we have before the new league. If you want to try it - by all means, let us know what you can come up with.

Good points, thanks for the clarification.

How about dipping into Zealot's Oath? Even a 1% regen per second from the passive equates to 100 ES per second on a 10K ES character, which is very easily doable.

Yes, that's my current draft version (lv 85 base that I posted above + these 9 nodes + ZO = lv 95).

We already have huge ES regen on kill from Occultist ascendancy (Vile Bastion) so it seems life regen from tree converted to ES regen with ZO and regen from Consecrated Ground (triggered with a Sulphur Flask) will only be noticeable and useful against single target. And there is also Tukohama pantheon that can give us some ES regen while we don't move with ZO conversion
