Sorry to sound like a complete noob but is there a way that Wild Strike could work with this build into higher level content? I did a little research into Wild Strike but found it hard to understand exactly how the skill works. All I know is that it is a lot of fun to use :)

It is fun. It will kill monsters just fine. However, blade flurry is better.

This is a mechanical difference, wild strike usually uses the inferior multistrike targeting system, and so it distributes your damage to the back and to the front as there are often enemies in both directions. Plus, you can't really attack from range as you can with blade flurry, so death is more likely, which can be a setback after level 90 or so.

Also, wild strike abilities all scale on different mods that we don't really get into, only the initial basic melee strike would be scaled by most of the mods we have. So the skill can be hard to really optimize.

When I have tested clear speed in maps, wild strike is definitely second tier at this time.

Sure does look nice though.

Hey Sovyn, how does ranger,duelist,marauder fare to templar when it comes to ascendancy?

They will all work, more or less. I would say that the guardian is the closest to the inquisitor in terms of overall power. When comparing the guardian to the inquisitor, you are just shifting things around a bit for pretty much the same end result in terms of defensive stats and clear speed (although I do think inquisitor has a slight edge here).

hi sovyn, have any ideas about upcoming glacial hammer upgrades? with 2 jewels converting our damage to 100% cold, how woould the tree look like?

aegis aurora + doryani catalyst is BIS i guess

SOVYN why i only have like 4k dps ?? i have good build please help me xd

Is there an alternative elemental build?

Since we're using phy dmg and crits and the next league looking to be the last ride for poison builds, I've played around with the tree and started shadow/assassin to utilize poison stacking just for fun and might try this as a league starter.

Edited: Please see Sovyn's post below for explanation on how this build is considered "elemental" in second nature.

New uniques for 2.6. Seems the second wep suits your style :)

I can't foresee any circumstance where glacial hammer would be overall better than ice crash for the cold skills.

Additionally, elemental damage nodes are significant;y worse than physical nodes. Melee skills that feature elemental damage generally scale best based on physical damage. (So, the tree would remain unchanged to try Glacial Hammer, other than the lost points to use the threshold jewel).

You may be looking at the blade flurry tooltip which doesn't display DPS... read closer. :)
