I tried my own take on the build, absolutely wanted those channeling nodes on the left side, I know I'm missing some life nodes here and there but I don't wanna make a tree for lvl 93+ for a league starter, if I feel I wanna go further with this character I'll push higher level

Why didn't you take the 3 channeling nodes next to Pain Attunment?
44% increased damage instead of 43%
5% cast speed instead of 6

But you safe some skill points and get another jewel socket

What TheBigMic said, you should take Lucidity and a 2 point jewel slot on the right side of the tree instead of Singular Focus.

You also shouldn't take Melding, it's 15% life for 4 points. You can get 20% life with 4 points on the scion life wheel or just 15% life and free a point.

Tbh, I didn't see that there is another channeling cluster, thanks!

Now grants Infusion after channelling for a duration. Infusion grants more Damage of types matching the supported skill gem's tags.
Now causes supported skills to deal more damage based on the gem's level.

yeah that sounds sick. the perfect synergy with winter orb.

this part is crazy:

I am still kinda a new player, but this looks good to me.
I tried out Winterorb myself the last days, because I want to play it coming league. But my build was a little different, had 2 maces and triple herald.
Anyways, I think in your passive tree I would do one little change.

I personally would take out that whole "Blast Radius" path and instead go on the left side up and take the 2 "Spell Critical Strike Chance" points. That would possibly solve the Elemental Overload problem, now that we don have 5% crit chance granted anymore.

Then you still have 2 more points left and can take Frost Walker,
which will give you in total 25% cold damage, 10% ele damage, 15% cold res, 5% cast speed. I wouldnt mind losing the area damage for this.
And in PoB it even shows me a small increase in DPS.

Thats would I would do, based on my own experience with winterorb.








edit:

I cant tell from PoB how much total crit chance those 2 nodes are.
I believe its around 2-3 %. Can anyone confirm that? PoB still displays 5% as the minimum so I cant tell. Do you think thats enough for elemental overload ?
