Here's what I'm planning for this league. It's not a full build yet, but I thought I'd share the concept. Maybe it'll give some people ideas.

I'll post update videos as the build progresses. It's a little different than most builds out there, doesn't seem to require any fancy items, and seems like it could be a comfortable and relatively strong/fun build to play.

Feel free to ask questions, provide critiques, or throw out ideas that could put the build concept on steroids.

Note: Snap has a 4 second cooldown with the new patch. I will probably just cast it manually because it has a fast cast time. However, I'm planning to put Frost Darts on Cast on Elemental Ailments, and the Cold Infusion from Snap will power it up nicely.

I updated the build as I've gone through Acts 1 and 2 to ensure a smooth start. I included a PoB for how to start above. Updated the original theory craft PoB (level 94) too.

I updated the OP above with my current build going through the campaign. I'm working on Act 4 right now.

I'm still running ED + Contagion + Minions until I get a lot of levels under my belt.

I realized to power everything I wanna do with the tri-elemental curser, I'll need a lot of passive skill points. I plan to switch over once I get to maps.
