I was thinking of using a CoC setup in the 6l.

Something like this tree for CI -> click me

Going into Templar gives 1 power charge, a lot of all resists and increased damage, attack speed, accuracy and energy shield. Even some dex :)

Main 6l:
Lacerate - Multistrike - Increased Critical Strike - COC - Frostbolt - Ice Nova

Alternatively maybe slot one Frost Bomb in here?

The increased accuracy gem can be dropped with some accuracy on gear. I have 72% increased on tree. The templar AoE nodes will somewhat compensate the loss of Inc AoE gem and also boost AoE on all spells we use.
Loss of faster attacks may be bad though. Could compesate by buying 3 x atk speed jewels (attack speed with one handed + attack speed with shield + general attack speed)

This may allow the use of a shield or just boot dps even further.

What is your opinion on this setup? Also - how do you deal with stun/freeze?

Also - does a single swing from Lacerate proc both gems socketed on single mobs hit?

OK, those were some fair points. In this case i propose this tree:

241 vs 263 Es
26 vs 27 attack speed
137cold+50 area vs 147cold+20area+30proj damage
220 vs 270 crit
6 vs 5 jewel sockets
72 vs 32 %accuracy
7 vs 6 power charges
0 vs 3% cold penetration
30 all resist vs 10 all resist

Direct comparison at 112 points. My tree is on the left. I'd say they are pretty close together.

Faster attack does seem important though. I just don't see what else can be dropped. CoC for 1 spell seems like a horrible idea.

Hi

Nice build, but to clarify, I am always having this question about multiple socketed cold gem cast at same time issue. As you can see:

It reads cast a socketed cold spell, not cast socketed cold spell, so I am thinking each melee crit only triger one spell not two or three, so what is the point of putting multiple cold spell if it only trigger one gem per crit. I haven't tested this yet anyone can reply on this one.

Correct me if I were wrong, I looking fowrard for your thoughts. Or you can pm me ingame: VeganexileD to discuss this issue.

Go Vegan for the animal welfare.

I was now thinking - the guy talking about his Templar build was a jerk, but he does raise some good points.

Using the 3% crit chance gloves with something like my tree will produce capped crit on Lacarate. 3% flat crit from the essence is like assassin with 6 power charges for Lacerate only. We now replace Cold Pen with Life Leech on both rapiers.

This frees curse for something more defensive - like Temp Chains, which will stack nicely with all the chills we produce.

Now spells won't get that flat crit increase, which is a huge downside, but we should manage to get around 50% crit with all the power charges and tree nodes.

After seeing your video I expect that trash mobs will melt regardless of whether crit is capped or not. However, having the cold pierce against bosses and red tier maps (which often roll ele resist mods) will boost single target dps. There are also rare mobs with ele resist auras, maps with endurance charges and more. Most map bosses indeed have only 40% cold resist, but end game bosses like the guardians have their resists all the way to 75%. For those the templar will definitely produce higher dps.

Lastly the Inq Ascendancy nodes are superior to those of Assassin. 16% more spell damage, 8% reduced elemental damage and 30% attack speed are much better than what you get from Ambush/Assassinate line.

PS: All of this assumes that you can proc both spells on the Cospri Rapiers on single target with one use of Lacerate (if both waves hit). Are you absolutely certain that this is the case?
