Hi..

I'm in no way an expert, but i'm a huge fan of self-casts, and the poet's pen mechanic.
I also really do like this build, so I took it upon myself to test something.

I Believe, that this can be done as a starter.
I leveled for as long as I could with pulse/volley (later to be swapped with lesser projectile -> to greater protjectile)/arcane surge just for cast and mana, that in itself turned out to be strong enough to carry me.
Kept looking for weapons with spell/cold dmg and just kept my 4-link chest.
I then found a first snow Jewel and put that in to and removed greater projectiles.

A poet's pen isn't the hardest to come by, and with some rng, you can have 2 early on.
then farm a tabula and make the chest link with the clear poets.

If you are not lucky, then w.e weapon that gives spell damage/cold/faster casting/ crits etc. And get a tabula, and run a freezing pulse -> cold supports until you get the poet's. Not to forget spell echo! That really changes the pace.

Did something similair this league but with arc, the process is not really different. Just set a live search for poet's pen on poe.trade and/or farm it yourself once you get there, with a pure freezing pulse setup.

Just putting my thoughts out here

Should this build still use ice spear, since in december they changed ice spears to have wind ups and in turn got kinda slow and clunky? What other skill could I swap it for in the 2nd wand?
build is still working?
Ill let u know...Have most of the gear needed for this build laying around...bored...nothing else to do...think I will level a character today, knock back a few beers and fire up the grill...lol..though I heard the pens got nerfed a bit...however everything that get gets nerfed is still kinda viable to a degree.
I was reading your calculate tab and had some questions.

You show how to calculate the attacks per second that that is supported. I guess in 3.6 there's now a total of 35% Cooldown Recovery between the boots and belt. The 250ms Internal Cooldown only triggers for the spell in the offhand wand if the spell shares the same name, correct? So theoretically if our attack speed is just under the maximum attacks per second factored for the Internal Cooldown of Poet's Pen, we could use Freezing Pulse in both wands, no? If we use a different spell our theoretical maximum Attacks Per Second doubles, correct? Since when the Offhand Frenzy triggers, let's say, Glacial Cascade, Freezing Pulse could still be on Cooldown and it would cast, correct? It seems to me that you would do a lot more damage per second if both Poet's Pens were socketed with Freezing Pulse and you were able to consistently get off every single cast.

I put Freezing Pulse in both Poet's Pens to check it out. I have 35% Cooldown Recovery, so .25 * .65 = .1625 and 1 / .1625 = ~6.15, the problem is with my maximum Frenzy Charges I have ~5.15 attacks per second and it seems like I'm missing every 10th or so Freezing Pulse. Is this due to some latency with the server or am I making an error in my calculations?

Later in your calculations you say that the Cast on Critical Strike Internal Cooldown is 500ms, but it looks like in 3.5 it changed to 150ms. So the theoretical max attacks per second is much higher than even Poet's Pen. The question I have about this is that it seems like you calculate the damage per second as if you cast Freezing Pulse every time it's off cooldown. My understanding is that in order for Cast on Critical Strike to proc, we need to both hit and crit the target with Frenzy. My Frenzy Hit Chance is ~66% and my Crit Chance is around ~50%. To me that would lead me to believe that on average 1 out of every 3 Frenzies would cast Freezing Pulse, but that's definitely not what I'm experiencing in real time. It seems to me like it's only ever casting every 10th or so Frenzy. It doesn't seem to me that the Freezing Pulse socketed in the Chest shares the Internal Cooldown with the Freezing Pulses in the Poet's Pen, but I can't understand why it is proc-ing so infrequently. My question here is, do you somehow have 100% hit and crit on your Frenzy? Because to me that seems unattainable with all the other stats we need for this build. It could also be that I'm misunderstanding how this effect triggers so if you could correct me if I'm wrong I would appreciate it.

Lastly, you list one of the Pros of this build is it being "Tanky", I'm seeming to have some issues on certain events/boss mechanics where I'll get one shot or run out of Flask Charges and die. I have about 5400 Health and 600 Energy Shield. All my Elemental Resistances are at 75%. My Mana pool is at ~850 after the Heralds' Mana Reservations. I have (I think) 20% Life and Mana Leech per second. I have about 16% Chance to Evade and around 16% Damage Reduction with max Endurance Charges. Are there some other defensive stats that I'm missing out on being important, or are any of these stats too low?

Thank you for your wonderful guide, and in advance for reading these questions. I absolutely love this build!
