Few things I noticed, not gonna mention all here but the top two would be:

1. Getting rid of the fire damage ring, it lowers your damage by a huge margin as it messes with EE. Make sure you have no add to +# fire/lightning damage anywhere on your gear.

2. Leveling your damage/support gems to 20 would be helpful. Furthermore acquiring some Crit Multi & Spell/Increased Damage Jewels would push your single target DPS even higher.

so yeh. radius is pretty bad :/

A crude calculation but close, the real numbers are known to dev's alone, as I said previously the AOE loss is close to 30-40%, perhaps a bit more for the gems that didn't get buff at base range.

I believe it is still very manageable and not build wrecking at all.

ps: A discharge gem's radius hits 40% at max quality which I am sure most discharger's use.

It's certainly manageable.. All these changes did was further limit choice in mapping.

Do the devs not understand all it does is force (yes I said force - for anyone wanting optimized progression at least) people into doing narrow maps to compensate for this change.

As someone who likes to do all map types endgame, next league I can say for sure I wont be doing any more open style maps (ie: springs, shipyard, etc.)

I can not do T9 ++ maps ... I followed the whole build and I have serious mana problems, my mana always ends up in the boss and I die.

What is clear from the AOE changes is that GGG wanted the full screen AOE clear gone whether it's ranged/bows or melee.
Sadly now we have to clear packs individually in one screen rather than 1 shot clear as before.

Definantly change. Mobs are getting an additional 25% resistance to your fire dmg because of that ring, instead of -50% fire resistance. That ring cuts your dmg by a large amount. Even just a flat str/dex ring with no other stats would be a huge buff to your dmg output.

Don't do this build until you have some currency. If you REALLY REALLY want to do this as your first character, farm Dried Lake with another build that isn't too far off the pathing (ex. I tweaked it so I can do Pizza Sticks and with about 30 respec points, 24 of which come from quests, I can respec in to this build when I have enough). Keep in mind, even a Voll's Protector can be pricey in the beginning of the league, and Voll's Devotion is gonna be many many hours of farming for that alone. However, you don't need Voll's Devotion to get this build off the ground, and a Vagan Dagger is a fine substitute for Cospri's until you get it.

I'm going to guess you did Assassin. I guess this because you shouldn't be spending any mana whatsoever as a Trickster. Make sure you have two -7 or -8 Elreon rings, preferably Elreon Diamond Rings. If you have TONS of currency, you want Elreon Diamond Rings with accuracy from regaling. You also want some sort of mana gained on hit jewel. That should leave you plenty fine for mana. If you don't have that, you want to be a Trickster, which has literally 0 problems with mana.

What is the best ring mods i can have for this build?

-# cost of mana
elemental resistance to all
attack speed
ES %

what else?

As assasin
