[Completed/Updated] Thunder Slam Jam: The Herald Prolif build that doesn't use Ash.

I think I went Oak, skill point, skill point. I didn't include it because it isn't very important to the build.

I saw this on reddit some weeks ago and thought it was by far one of the coolest builds I've seen. It boggles my mind how little response its gotten and how few pages/views there are for it.

But to my question: Vaal pact is how you solved the issue of reflect but its imperfect at least based on the more recent video you put up where you came very close to dying. Because you deal fire damage with your cold spells, have you tried skilling EB with one point and running arctic armor? You could then use the points from Vaal pact to get more life (cover survivabily lost from your 600 es) or mana/mana regen to make sustaining AA easier. AA would then absorb the fire reflected back, and it shouldn't be an issue anymore. You also get the other wonderful benefits of AA (dog/miscreation/chimera immunity, near fire immunity, and movespeed).

Also, I haven't played since HoT was introduced and didn't use HoI when I was playing, but does buff effect have any interaction with them? More damage from buff only, more on kill effect damage or anything? Genuinely curious as I didn't see it in the wiki.
