Your build looks tempting. I have few questions regarding the content: Does it work well against Blight and blighted maps? How much is this build affected by Heatshiver's nerf (70% reduced damage) ?

It is still ok build, but heatshiver nerf is a dps nerf, compared to previous version, no way around it. Every trash mob, rare mob you hit, even on most basic rushed gear, you lose bunch of damage you would otherwise have with heatshiver.
All cold crit builds got affected by this equally, since heatshiver was best in slot for all of them, and also being fairly common/cheap item it was early massive upgrade for all of them, it was the item you rushed to buy, because how good damage gain was.

Your maps per hour should not go down with this build though. (Which is the important benchmark, in my opinion).
The Heatshiver nerf is probably a big deal for some other builds or Sanctum farmers / Uber farmers.
For any mapping version of this build, no tattoos seems worse than the Heatshiver nerf^^.
At least we get 30% movement speed from Oath of the Maji very early :D.

Just a question do we care about the icicle mines +proj from the detonation sequence or not ?
Couse i played with pyroclast mines before and i didnt really enjoyet that one. Standing in one place and just throw mines to get the chain going to get the best dps out of it felt clunky at least for me.

Also the transfigured icicle seems good, the one that doesnt shoot in a circle but at the enemy. It could be better at single target than EoW no ?

Few questions:

1) We can reroll new "bonus" ascensions later, right?

2) Why the "chaining range" notable? Icicle mine chains? Couldn't figure that out.

3) Scion works for that build, right? Or it's something specific about ranger in it? I just don't want to level another character later. (Slapped together the same build for league start https://poeplanner.com/b/UYD)
