The reason i went trickster is because it has an amazing toolkit for clear speed and bossing. (Power/Frenzy charges for increased map speed and more critical hit procs to keep ele overload active). I also love the huge 50% DoT dmg node on the trickster ascendancy, as well as the free movement skills, and mana restoration (since we are rotating between cold snap, frost bomb, and vortex, and movement, we restore mana alot with this, which supports mind over matter alot). The build feels very solid and practical with Trickster. I love occultist, but as a league start, i ideally avoid ES builds, and occultist heavily favors an ES setup. Scion could probably work too, but i dont like it very much! It's all personal preference tbh.	Posted by H4RM4G3DD0N#7028 on Dec 10, 2018, 8:08:43 AM Quote this Post

I see, a lot of QoL improvements over other ascs, so i'll stick with trickster too. Playing this build rn, feels smooth, levels fast, thanks for the guide!

Got really disappointing with the current patch, tried hiero, tried scion for a bit, but new rewamped spells (like ice spear) seems to fail hard. Will probably try your build as last one and quit. Question: how would arctic breath work with your build?	Posted by Lukin#1992 on Dec 10, 2018, 9:53:28 AM Quote this Post

This looks pretty strong from having a look at your previous broadcasts on Twitch. When do you usually stream?	Posted by m0onknight#3858 on Dec 10, 2018, 11:56:07 AM Quote this Post
