ShatterBolt [1.3 Viable end game Self substainable Herlad of Thunder/Ice build]

Tons of fun so far!

yeah i die offscreen in shrine maps with -minus max mods just from my herald of thunder.
im playing with vaal pact ofc. got almost 4k hp.

with the life leech gem as 6th slot its better 1 death so far but that was my fault, chest..

btw iam playing at 1920x1080 and you would notice that your hot is hitting offscreen all the time.

i gonna try the added cold damage gem after my level up, maybe you are right but i feel pretty safe with life leech and almost 12k hot dmg isnt that bad at all.

Took a look at the new tree. The cluster with Celestial Punishment and Judgement look very nice for the build.

Haven't read through all of the pages yet, but would The Taming be a good 2nd ring?

1.3 changes look awesome for this build.

Duration nodes are closer to each other. +15% additional chance to freeze on the tree. The Illuminati cluster should add about 50% increased dmg to the build.

This build looked strong as is, now it just looks amazing: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYARXyXl_v1tDjlGYw2E54C_lBCVUukkd-ELUdh4hzcJpV_xsHF7BiIQjeBgh5SsuTr9OkUsONWT682iUwtZ70XVBEPnwF-r6yY0eS1hffXOliNgu9Qm6FVxlPUwbR4L49Gg9stfRhqHRQEB3zl-tJMs1gHZp4Wb5eVwBrjalJTcYUaOD1fl_RXKfMRkFVG17FCJy_sOIKbmjs8BeFzn9_vfKIA8B8Es2jyr2xM_zwtHb7GrjOHtz4D7v4K8kXYvTrhNZKmV7Xy_o9N426qX5hZbc8y

Great build. I really like that you fit in dual curses. I feel that 5% shock and freeze at the shadow start are somewhat overkill tho.

Loving this build. Can't wait to play with the new tree. hopefully major improvements.my tree is slightly different at 100 points I have 118% max life and 160% increased ele damage. (versus 138% life and 120% ele damage on your tree.) as soon asi gotadoryani's catalyst/invitation thebuild really came to life. I wouldn'tsay they are required...but they make it 10x easier to perma freeze packs. I also use prolif on my vaal storm call instead of spell echo to ensure the deep freeze.

if i swap to the dual curse boots and asenath's gloves i would probably pick up the life nodes instead of the damage. but hopefully I'm just able to level to 86 and have them both by then.

Maybe I missed it, but do you guys think the fire based Doryani's Invitation is the best one? I havent gotten far enough along with mine (just started a couple nights ago!) But im thinking this would be the best one for leeching?

Thanks!

P.S. ISO new theorycrafting for the posted 1.3 tree. (Celestial Punishment!)

Recreating the old tree seems pretty straight-forward:

This is my take on 1.3 tree.

Edited after looking at the above post. I took the life out of the wheel at the bottom and moved it into teh reduced mana/+life cluster.
