I dont really consider ANY crit builds as HC viable. Damage too spikey.

What you want for HC is same equipment (but no crit jewelry just life and spell dam) wear pyre ring so all cold to fire and 24-26 AA prtects u. along with fire purity. Also wear Cloak of defiance so you have like 8000 health EHP, instant leech and totally immune to refelct.

and this no crit tree

Hello. About tree:

Maybe should remove Overcharge, duration and take crit multiplier? This will give more DPS, imho.

And about +9% cast speed in Witch tree. Is 30% spell damage (Because in the crit arc build, it gives you more) will give a little more DPS?

So:

And because you are using herald of thunder and ice skills - is it possible to somehow use Storm Weaver for even more increase DPS))?

What you think?

You cant sustain power charges in map that way. Even 13 seconds in tough anyway sometimes. Sustaining 7 power charge is key to huge DPS and freeze. 6 and charges falling down you lose about 30% DPS and don't freeze as well.

As far as taking elemental nodes. Yeah little more DPS UP to you. I like cast speed given choice. More fluid gameplay with faster warp and better freeze since Cast Speed (and crit) relates to freeze strengths.

Shadow start is marginally better now due to 4% cast speed instead.

Update to tree. Thanks to thoughts from Ming decided to drop Deep thoughts for Celestial Punishment 25% more hidden DPS. All jewelry needs greater than ~40% mana regen with this change.

Celestial Punishment isn't 'more', as in it's not a multiplier. Therefore it is at best a situational 25% 'increase' in damage, highly doubt it is worth it. I prefer Celestial Judgement, non-situational damage 'increase' as well as a penetration buff which is 'more' damage.

ps. You might also want to take the Heart of Ice cluster instead of the Mental Rapidity cluster, the effective increase to DPS for this build is higher than regular caster builds because you're using PoH, effectively limiting your spell damage increase from 2 weapon slots to 160% at most.

What do you think about using romira instead of assasin mark's?

well if you are bored out of your mind playing every other build known to this game, you can always spend rest of your fortune on mediocre build... and them quit the game :D

It works like shocked status alignment apart from being half but also applies frozen and ignited.
Hence, if the target is shocked 50%+25%= 75% more damage output than you normally dish out, 25% if frozen.
Target should be shocked or frozen by this build since you crit and even if you don't those chances on tree will help a bit.

Lose all Power Charges on Critical Strike <= this is just bad. no it is horribly-terribly. what are you thinking...

Removal of overcharge is not an option, 50% crit chance+ 4% spell dmg <= why will you remove it??
In my experience, you need to at least take a power charge duration node. Plus it is 10 int or the node in the templar tree.

Generally 9% cast speed >>> 30% spell dmg usually, since rng roll. you might get shit low dmg rng roll.
On contrary in Crit build, you especially want cast speed, particularly if you are using spell echo. Cast speed >>>>>>> almost all dmg scaling (maybe not crit chance or crit multi).
Reason 1 to do dmg, you need decent dmg rng roll + you need to crit. <= (For cold dmg less of an issue)
Reason 2 Spell echo repeats spell, if spell not crit , repeated spell won't crit too.
The only method to overcome RNG is Crit Chance and cast speed.

Storm Weaver cluster are good nodes but Celestrial Punishment and Judgement are amazing nodes. After that i will pick up cast speed before i even consider picking up storm weaver.

Please get your facts straight before sounding educational spreading false info on some newcomers who might just be passing by. The shock status increases damage TAKEN by the entity by 50%, so it counts as MORE, as in multiplicative, 50% more damage like you said. HOWEVER, Celestial Punishment isn't MORE like I said, it 'increases' YOUR damage done to the target, and it is additive with spell damage, elemental damage etc. It is effectively a situational 25% spell/attack damage node. I'm not saying the node isn't bad, it would be even great in group scenarios where most targets are usually shocked/frozen/ignited. I'm just saying it is not as great as you make it out to be, since it doesn't work like half a shock, since it is not a multiplier. Feel free to google celestial punishment.

Hmm interesting.

I do some searching.
But bad news

Modifier Stacking
In general, integer modifiers are applied before percentages. Percentage modifiers using the words "% increased" or "% reduced" stack additively with one another, while "% more" and "% less" modifiers stack multiplicatively.
From http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/11707#p216023

Shock is an elemental status ailment associated with lightning that causes the affected target to take 50% increased damage from all sources.
From http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Shock

The wording makes me think that Shock too is situation additive. Are you sure that shock is multicative.

Maybe the wording "taken" is used because not only the character that applied shock but also everyone in the party or everything on your side get the bonus. Maybe even self inflicted damage by the enemy receive that bonus too.
