2.5 Elementalist coc discharge. no cospri; no brightbeak; no clearspeed; shaped strand only

This build is mostly stolen, but not from anyone who posts on the build forums.

Tree isn't finalized, but the main concept is similar to this: http://poeurl.com/2Ix (left side of the tree is intuitive leap, the unique jewel).

Bandits are: Kraityn (resists) or point in normal, Kraityn (attack speed) in cruel, and oak (endurance charge) (or alira for the power charge if you have a +1 endurance charge belt).


Additional notes:
Shield charge still costs 4 mana with these links despite two -8 elreon rings. Cyclone costs 0 in this case when only linked to cast on crit, so I can still use that to regain mana if I run out on a no-regen map.

Assassin's mark can be swapped with enfeeble (if you have +1 curse that is) if you care to do maps harder than shaped strand.

I was thinking a poor-man's tree to get +1 curse without it on the ammy would look something like this: http://poeurl.com/2Iz

If you don't want +1 curse from anywhere, I'd go purity of lightning, or honestly, no joke, purity of elements because it just flat out gives more resists than any single purity, and additional max res isn't that important with elementalist's ascendancies.
