In my opinion, CI strictly better then LL version of build. Some of my friends uses LL BV Pathfinder and unable to handle Minotaur under multiple AoEs or charged Izaro. Besides higher ES pool CI protects from Chaos (i.e. Vaal Temple bosses uses Chaos DoT). Maybe for the Shaper LL will be better, but I have no issues with 2ppl Shaper with CI.

Almost completed the build. Better dagger will give me +25% spell damage and better gloves finally bring my ES to 12K. Better belt probably isn't on the market (need T1 ES, reduced charges roll, lightning res and free suffix).

Final version of Skill Tree:

Master Alchemist in one choice to remove Shock + Freeze and be able to use all endgame flasks.

My current gear:

For Phoenix I use Ruby Flask instead of Quicksilver, for Hall of Grandmasters Quicksilver of Warding. For Izaro with Charges I use Basalt Flask of Iron Skin instead of Atziri's (Quicksilver of Adrenaline is main item for Uber Lab).

11.8K ES, 73/75 block chance with flasks and Tempest Shield.

Pros:

- Vaal Temple with 4 other people (leave reaver with bleeding as last boss)

- The Shaper (up to 3ppl)

- Hall of Grandmasters (still can die to DanziG, but one-two times, Dy'Ness just oneshotted, legacy Aegis builds takes a time with Concentrated Effect but doable; completed 20+ HoGM, one death to DanziG over all).

- Uber Atziri (deathless, most difficult part is Vaals because they spam their skills and it hard to see slam)

- Uber Izaro with Charges and Essences. Other versions of Izaro is joke.

- Guardians with various mods (most difficult is Hydra because she always teleports from you)

- Can tank most of bosses even without Vinktars - fullblock allows to mitigate a lot of damage and leech from Atziri's is enough to stay inside of three AoE of Minotaur.

- PvP viable, can obliterate most of builds (except EA because secondary damage cannot be blocked)

Cons:

- It is melee so Detonate Dead and Volatiles.

- Vorici missions


In my opinion, CI strictly better then LL version of build. Some of my friends uses LL BV Pathfinder and unable to handle Minotaur under multiple AoEs or charged Izaro.
