I can't agree with you that Heart of thunder and the witch starting mana regen nodes are a waste of points. I also think Celestial Judgement is too excellent of a node to pass up, like you did in your tree.

The templar starting regen nodes I could agree that they are not neccessary for some people, but I would lack mana regen without these nodes so I chose to take them over the shadow starting cast speed/ele dmg nodes. This is just personal preference.

My general understanding of your tree is that you focus more on crit for damage rather than stacking elemental/lightning damage, which I agree would work but would only be effective with legacy crit gear and dual wielding wands.

You have to remember that this is a torment league setup, where crit is not as easy to stack and high end gear is still scarce. If I was playing this on standard league my tree would look very different and I would be using a pair of acuities and dual wielding wands and using a 6link cloak with dual diamond rings and a legacy crit amulet with spell dmg life and mana regen. But since I don't have access to this kind of gear on Torment like I do in Standard, I chose to just stack lightning damage and build much tankier than I normally would.

I've done plenty of mapping with this build and I wouldn't say its unoptimized. You can't be making statements like "your tree is clearly unoptimized" without giving more solid evidence or playing a similar tree and speaking from your own experience. I agree from looking at your tree that vaal pact would be greatly improve mapping capability since the build would be safer against reflect (I've thought about vaal pact for a very long time while making this build) but I decided that it would be too much of a point-investment on the tree and safe gameplay with proper topaz flask usage and having a high life/mana pool was adequate defense vs. reflect. I could take aura nodes on the tree in the future and run purity of lightning too, for added safety.

Overall I understand that ur build could also work but for the purposes of this build being for a budget, start-of-the-league atziri killing setup (like the title of the build suggests) I think this tree suits the build well (over 200 atziri kills on Torment now). I think your tree is better suited for standard (possibly more than my tree is), and as a mostly standard player myself, I understand what you're trying to get at with tree with you've posted.

Also I'm a little confused on the minion node you took on the tree near the scion starting area, I'm guessing you didn't mean to take it.
