Hey I got a question, why do you put points in inner force?

Buffs every aura + flasks

I didn't look through the all the pages, but in the "cold-pen" support rune section, you said it's useless if you already drop enemy resis to 0%.

I thought that you could get mobs to drop BELOW 0%, as your character can as well.

Or am I just saying some random crap here?

it means that if u can drop a mob down to 0% cold resist with just a curse then it will be better to use added lightning dmg or chaos dmg or increased crit.

Why?
This statement is so false on so many levels:
A level 15 cold penetration gives you a 30% damage increase NO MATTER what cold resistance the mobs have.
Added lightning or added chaos will NEVER be better on 0% resist mobs. Actually it's the other way round: the higher the resist, the better ALD and ACD become. With max cold resist, your cold damage will shrink to 25% of its usual amount, whereas the absolute damage amount of ALD/ACD will stay the same. That means the % damage increase with ALD/ACD will be much higher vs high cold resist crowds than against 0 resist mobs. It might very well give you more than the 30% increase of cold penetration, but NOT against low resist mobs.

Is that 2500 ES suggestion before or after discipline is factored in?

Why did you skip over the Throatseeker circle of passive nodes (northwest of the Nimbleness nodes)? From what I calculated, each % of crit damage multiplier gave me around 7.5 extra dps, so 70%+ should be over 500 extra dps from that wouldn't it?

Also if you're going for Elemental Adaptation isn't it better to just connect to the Inner Force nodes from the top path which is 4 int nodes instead of the bottom 2 int 2 str nodes?
