Notes

I'll be league starting this build and running it in SSF. Join me on Twitch (/Shakcentral) for launch!

Endgame loadout is obviously trade focused and will be very difficult to farm all the way up to in SSF

In the stage in-between the comfy mapping build and the endgame LL setup, you can start adding clusters to get extra damage while farming the LL items and currency

Pact of Ghorr looks nice but not sure where to fit it at the moment and the damage seems more than fine. 
Similar thoughts on perma Vaal Cold Snap uptime version. Probably very feasible but not a lot of time left before launch


LEVELING

- Get to the Wintertide Brand mastery above the Witch start ASAP. The build will basically play itself to maps once Wintertide starts jumping around

- Helping Alira for bandit reward. Early resists is good and both Cold masteries we want to take care about our res

- Take new Bitter Frost Keystone above the Witch start anytime your single target feels like it could use a boost and you have a free point
- May want new Arcane Conservation cluster to NE of Witch start -> Notable grants 10% inc Cast Speed, 20% inc Mana Cost Efficiency of Spells, and 3% inc Int.
