I've similar build with single Malice/Lacerate and tried to cap asp to not exceed 5.00 (10 procs).

Took me long to notice that with 4.95 asp on lacerate does Not proc Twice on single boss, only twice on multi targets. I took a few test, try remove my faster attack gem and found tht it procs twice with single target at 3.6 asp. Any faster asp than around 4.00 will result in Half procs D:

I did a few test on cyclone as well, its hard to notice but i believe that it does not proc a lot as we expect with asp >5.00 on single target.

After this discovery i changed to dual wield Malice lol

You were fake dual wielding? If you yes you were propably a bit above 5.0, the offhand stats affect the tooltip even tho you're only attacking with the sword.

1) how do you generate power charges? Is "Unstable Infusion" so good to keep our charges up? Is the crit chance enough?

You hit the crit cap with attacks, but some of the spells still don't crit, you get your power charges from there, Glacial Cascade even does multiple hits if you like it, it's VERY easy to maintain the charges.

No, I was first using Malice with es spell cri shield, I was focusing on maximizing single spell dps on Malice.

My assumption is that it's because of Lacarate's hitting rhythm, try taking out FA and MS gems and see it for yourself. you'll get what i mean...

I believe maximum asp for lacerate single malice to double proc is somewhere around 4.00

What about the leech? which are the sources of leeching?

Have you tested the build with EE and getting fire/lightning dmg on a ring or something?

If you played in standard with an infinite budget, would you make any changes to the build?

Weapon has cold damage to attacks. Infinite budget I would go lowlife with skyforths.

I'm currently using Arctic Breath - Freezing Pulse - Cold Penetration as my 3L's in both my Cospri's. Any suggestions to improve it? Mainly looking for single target damage for bosses - currently flying through yellow and red maps with ease. On Pathfinder BTW so I don't have Life Leech gem - Vinktars (added to spells) + Warlord's Mark is doing great for me so far.

How would you integrate skyforth into the build?
The build already have a couple of power charge generators such as the ascendancy skill and from assassins mark.

Let me elaborate some more. With infinite budget I would go inquisitor with Headhunter, skyforths and lowlife, godly multimodded -8 diamond rings, godly crit multi, spell damage, crit chance amulet. Crit chance everywhere possible to make inquisitor viable, this is atleast what I would try to make happen, but obviously don't have that kind of bulk for testing right now.

Skyforths aren't amazing on assassin but useable, since they help with charge generation to get started quicker, help with stun and nets you more mana. If you are using assassins mark on assassin you can drop it completely for skyforths.

The build just doesn't work as well on Inquisitor. I tried both, and Assassin is just far superior for harder bosses. For the easy stuff of course they both melt maps and T12 and below bosses. But for harder stuff, Inquisitor just doesn't proc enough.

I've made a few changes to my build and it's working much better than the original. First off, I'm using leech gems in my swords now so even curse proof bosses I can leech off.

And I've added a 2nd curse, so now I have elemental weakness, Frostbite, and cold penetration. It's basically like Inquisitor's ignore resists because of how far you reduce their resists, and I have crit cap at 95%. When I finally get my 6L armor I'll also add accuracy gem and get that to 95%.

It's also easy enough to switch Frostbite for enfeeble for bosses that can one shot.
