I've been playing WI on and off and finally had success this league. I finally felt like I had the build in hand. I intend to farm a bit more, push the build to see what it can do for me, but my mind is also already racing to other possibilities. Has anyone attempted an Avatar of Fire conversion with Scorching Ray and Legacy of Fury for the scorch? Go for something much tankier for stationary play, perhaps not a Trickster, but a Chieftain or Inquis.

How would you get the other 50% conversion to fire? Avatar of Fire removes all non-fire damage. I'm not sure you'd end up with more damage, as it wouldn't let us double-dip in modifiers.

As for tankiness, overleech + truckload of leech + Heartstopper + Polymath is probably tankier than Chieftain or Inquisitor. Plus, the travel nodes of the ascendancy give a lot of ES (20% ES + 1/6th of EV on Body Armour), which synergizes very well with int-stacking. What did you have in mind for Inquis or Chieftain?

Perhaps I wouldn't overall. I was thinking of taking advantage of Ash and Scorch for added sources of damage on a Chieftain, or using a Sab for the Triggerbots for both Vortex and Icestorm (with far less cast speed, as I'd cap out on 5 storms very quickly and would lose DPS otherwise). Not something that would cap out the DPS charts, but something unusual or different. As you can see, though, I can't fully answer whether losing 50% of the damage through conversion can be made up with a combination of Fire and Cold damage passives and the two debuffs. There's so many moving variables here.

EDIT: You mentioned AoF wouldn't allow us to double-dip modifiers. Would that effectively eliminate taking cold damage on the passive tree?

That's what I meant, but now that I think about it, I believe that was wrong. You'd get bonuses from +fire and +cold modifiers. However, I can't see the availability of +fire modifiers making up for the 50% less damage and the loss of the numerous -cold res modifiers we're using.

Sorry if this is a total stupid question, but how do you run 4 auras at the same time? PoE, Disc, Hatred and Clarity are taking more than 100%?
