Hello! Very nice build! Ty very much for your work on it, it is very cool. I have a few questions.
1. What about taking the consecrated ground ascendancy points? It gives the same amount of damage and cast speed, but also gives hp and Mana reg.
2. We can use the curse on hit setup with HoI, it works pretty fine, unless I am missing something.
3. What about using a rare wand? Is whirling blades so much better? Can we swap that with lightning Warp, fire dash, shield charge?
Ty in advance.

1: I'm not a fan of it at all. You'll be losing something like 30%~ of your overall DPS.

2: The reason we don't run Warlord's Mark on Herald of Ice + Curse on Hit is because it would only apply the curse after the enemy has been shattered into another enemy and then that enemy will already be almost dead or already dead from the shatter alone. With Herald of Thunder it's active more often as there's always lightning coming out, cursing enemies at full or near full hit points. Herald of Ice + Curse on Hit is really only beneficial with something like Poacher's Mark and Assassin's Mark, basically stuff that procs when an enemy is dead, and not required to be active in order for it to be effective.

3: Whirling Blades and Shield Charge are the two best movement skills in the game. Lightning Warp requires Less Dura & Faster Casting in order for it to be anywhere close to the other two, and we also proc Fortify by Whirling Blades. Flame Dash only has 3 charges and isn't very good at all. Shield Charge doesn't work with Wands.

Thank you for the answers. However i still do not fully understand all of it. Why we lose so much damage? is it because we won't always be on consecrated ground?
And about the warlord's mark, you said we need it for the endurance charges didn't you? or you also want leech?

Fun build, I've been playing something very similar, just some minor poersonal tweaks to the tree. My questions is about vessel of vinktar, I bought one and started using it but I don't feel it at all. I think the problem is with CoTB converting our lighting dmage to cold, which means we don't actually do that much lightning damage to leech from. Wouldn't a taste of hate be better, I put in a taste of hate on PoB and it gives a lot better damage for the glacial cascade than vessel. Or do you think vessels exta damage to tendrils is worth it? Taste of hate is expenseive though but it gives us more mitigation too, whereas vessel makes us rip easier.
