At what point can you swap from firestorm mines to pure ice trap?

When you get chain reaction (cruel labyrinth).

I converted to Ice Trap as soon as I got Cluster Traps. It might be a little early, but it felt mechanically superior to Firestorm Mines. It's just getting better and better as I level and pick up additional Trap nodes. Soon to do Cruel Labyrinth!

Doing Ice Trap + Cold Pen + Increased Area of Effect + Cluster Traps.

No lol, you can switch at lvl 38 when you get cluster traps. Damage will be crazy right when you eq it

Can this build do harder challenges like twinned t15 etc?

There's no real content this build will struggle with, honestly. If your ability to dodge and stay alive is high, you can kill whatever.

Any chance someone can be arsed to make a summary post? (Gems/links incl. movement skill, stats to prioritize, flasks, viable uniques, highest priorities in skill tree, map mods to avoid etc)

Would be awesome!

Rip lvl 90 from Piety 1 shot ice arrow. Sad. 6k Hp. Viable for t15 twinned? Realy dont think. But create Ice trapper for farming

Piety will crush most builds with that Ice Arrow. Don't get hit by that kind of stuff. You can go up to ~7k HP on this build if you want to feel safer, too.

Yes, but adding spell damage only increases your damage by very little, idk how it's calculated - probably off the trap base dmg. Elemental damage on the other hand increases all elem. damage we do, let it be ice, fire, added cold, etc.

Added flat damage can be fairly effective. Flat added damage to spells is affected by all your spell and traps and matching elemental damage multipliers. To give an example, I'm still leveling my ice trapper, so my ice trap is level 14, does an average of 368.5 base damage. My wand adds a flat average 50 damage(39-61). The effectiveness on ice trap is 110%, so it's adding an average 55 damage, which is multiplied by all the spell and trap damage I have. So it's basically about 15% more damage. This % will decrease a bit because added damage only goes up a bit more, but the scaling from lvl 14-20 ice trap is a lot. But flat added damage is still useful. Now if you were running crit it would be different, but since we are looking at weapon stats, there isn't much else to look for besides spell damage.
