before i continue, take into account i'm perfectly happy with your build and i'm sure it works just fine. So no offense.

But that's my point though, because you have stacked so much lighting and cold, you have that issue with reflect, which you otherwise would not have had. In my current life based and i'm not too sure i haven't checked it before i wrote this comment, i get about 150-160% spell dmg with scold's and skill tree, without other items, than about similar values for both fire and elem dmg with other items considered and the skill tree, which results in a fairly balanced x fire dmg dealt, and than 0.5x cold-lightning dmg dealt which achieves similar to yours dmg, without creating that reflect problem. Which to me is kinda important because personally i'm a fan of playing eyes closed without worrying if i had pressed the flasks on time or if i have attacked too large a group of monsters and put myself into a dangerous spot. Also i wouldn't say that scold's is a different build, the way i use it is i incinerate the trash mobs and only ever use vaal molten shell for bosses, or in a full party with increased aoe instead for trash just to carry the party, very easily can carry full party of people doing nothing just gotta get used to timing vaal molten shell well and not activating it in dead ends of maps. Honestly to me scold's is one of the best uniques in the game now, it's simply a very nice mechanic for tons of damage, and anyone playing incinerate, the fastest cast spell in the game, should jump on it and abuse the damages ;D

I feel like Witch simply does a better job at this build though...
Templar forces you to take 2 extra nodes which actively hurt you by increasing your max life and making it harder to get the required regen.

Here's the tree I'd recommend:
Witch - 110pts

I completely agree with this and mentioned this fact in the original post. I picked templar because I had already done an 85 witch and needed a third class for the challenges.

Right, well...I've got a second suggestion for improving your tree.

Inner Force + Devotion add exactly 20% to your aura effectiveness, but also increase the rate at which you burn yourself dramatically. What happens is that the end result is less than a fraction of a percent different than not having them at all. You can take a look at the math here.

There's an argument to be made that it does increase your AA armor and RF "more spell damage", but you are better off picking up more damage nodes from the tree and just raising your max ES (this will also save on the amount of mana regen you need).

Here's the alternate tree you can switch to: Templar - 110pts

All it'll take is 13 regret orbs:
Current Tree
7 Regrets -> Place Points
3 Regrets -> Place Points
3 Regrets -> Place Points (Final Tree)

...that being said, the 20% increase to buffs does apply to all your auras, so do test it out to see which is better in practice.
