Piscators "Buzzsaw" : Crit or RT?
With the new Kinetic Blast Wand skill I think a "Wand Buzzsaw" is more then viable. I'm having a problem with choosing the build though. I defenetly want to use a Piscators Vigil.

I know that the Idea of going to build a noncrit wander is redicoulous, but the "pros" of going RT is visible on the tree. I could take more life nodes, have 53% reduce manacost with 20Q Conc effect, not oneshotting myself to ele reflect. I think that CONC and WED is enough multiplier on top of the 120% base to be enough dmg even noncrit, and I am more flexible on the tree and gear. On the other Hand, Crit would go to insane dmg values, but would be MUCH MUCH more expensive. Wat do? E: I know its more a question of currency liquidity. If you got enough currency to sustain crit (read: can purchase an Acuity), its upsides are clear. But RT is much cheaper and can be build "budget".

I don't think it's even viable to go RT with wand builds. I think life based elemental wander should not be too expensive, even if you do decide to go crit.
Sorry I can't really help you with the tree, my only experience in this game as of yet lies with melee and bow builds. Finally for reflect, I've seen a lot of ele builds take vaal pact, since you already use a life leech gem. For try, for see, and for know.

I think you're vastly underestimating the amount of damage you need to do to regularly one-shot yourself to reflect. Honestly, if you're that worried about it, you could wear Ungil's Harmony and use a tree like this:

This is what i would run with piscators:

It's silly not to run crit with piscators, 10-11% base is incredibly easy to scale for high crit chance. If your worried about reflect just take it is easy on the crit multiplier
