Looking good man, I'm a bit surprised you can cap your resistances with your purities being 2 levels under cap. With 1.56% effectiveness each level really matters so you'll get them up there :)

Part of what I like about this build is that 6% increased experience is quite noticeable.

I will note that I think I would have changed to arctic armour if my HOI wasn't 20% quality. the flat damage isn't actually that great its the global 15% increased cold damage combined with it that makes it so effective. I spent a while theory crafting getting some more reservation and swapping herald of ice into anger since anger would get the 1.56x bonus for being an aura but it barely increased DPS numbers without that 15% increased damage quality boost.

Current tree looks fine however with your future plan I agree that getting that 6% aura effectiveness node next to Soverntity is worth it but I think you'll find it tricky to drop both 4% reduced mana reserved nodes and still run everything. You don't appear to be running the arctic armour/herald of ice setup at the moment but if you want to one of those as well you'll need that extra node.

You may also need to spent the two points to grab Primal spirit below vaal pact. The 20 Int and 15% increased max mana helps get your total up to a point where you can reserve 95% of your mana and still have enough to comfortably cast the storm.

You also seem to plan to spend 3 points to get the 20 Int node Catalyse in Templar. Just a note that you can spend 3 points below Sovernity instead to get the jewel socket. Even a really poorly rolled Jewel will have at least 20 Int on it. The unique ones are cheap with up to 24 Int on them and there is the potential to get much more Int, %ES and damage then Catalyse ever could on rare jewels

I've a few times fantasised about the loot filter having a "pickup on walk over" section you could code like diablo 3 has with gold. Make all currency pickup on walk over and very slowly convert the mass into higher currency with the vendor.

I also stay with the non-Avatar of Fire build, but will keep my Cold to Fire Gem, because it still adds an absurd anmount of damage. It doesn't matter to me that the enemies burn sometimes, because Ice can also "burn" somehow, so it fits... =P This way I also don't give up the Herald of Ice explosions, and can keep the "safety" urgatorbait mentions.

With your help I settled to this tree at 90 and it should be optimized now for my needs with Grace and Evasion. (YAY for Sin Trek being double-good for me)

Thanks for your help and stuff, if you still see something to critique on my tree, go on. =)

Oh, on a sidenote, I read about the Kaom Boots on the last page, but I think you might lose too much with it, because you effectively drop 2 Unique-slots (Boots and Gloves) for no relevant "defensive stats" (meaning Res/Movementspeed/ES). I don't think the 3 "gained" Skillpoints and Antistun are worth the trade. (Also, you'd need to find a new way to the Fire/Ice Walkers)
