Notes

Pros:
    Versatility: The Cold DoT Elementalist build is well-rounded and capable of handling a variety of content, including mapping, delving, and Trial of the Ancestors.
    League Starter: This build is a great choice for league starters due to its effectiveness with minimal gear investment, allowing you to progress smoothly through the early stages of a new league.
    Efficient Leveling: The build's leveling experience is smooth and fast, making it one of the quickest paths from Level 1 to Maps.
    Strong Clear Speed: With Vortex and Creeping Frost, the build can clear maps efficiently by passively damaging enemies as you move and dealing significant area damage when needed.
    Decent Boss Damage: While not optimized for boss farming, the build can still take down bosses effectively, making it capable of handling a wide range of encounters.
    Effective Defenses: The build offers solid defenses, including physical mitigation, block chance, ailment immunity, and spell suppression, ensuring survival against various threats.
    Engaging Gameplay: Balancing multiple skills and utilizing different damage-over-time effects provides an engaging and dynamic playstyle.

Cons:
    Limited Single-Target Damage: The build's single-target damage might be lacking compared to specialized boss-killing builds, making longer boss fights less efficient.
    Complexity: Managing multiple skills and keeping track of DoT effects can be overwhelming for players who prefer simpler playstyles.
    Floor Coverage: The constant placement of Vortex puddles can obscure the floor, potentially making it challenging to see traps and hazards.
    Higher Budget Optimization: While effective with minimal gear, the build's performance can be further enhanced with higher budget investments in end-game gear.
    Bossing Efficiency: Although capable of defeating bosses, the build might struggle against the toughest bosses, requiring players to be skilled and patient in encounters.
    Aura Reservation: Mana reservation can be tight due to multiple auras and aura effectiveness scaling, which might limit your flexibility in using other auras.
    Positioning Dependence: Effective positioning is crucial to maximizing defenses and avoiding damage, making it essential to stay aware of your surroundings.

Remember that each build has its own strengths and weaknesses, and the suitability of the Cold DoT Elementalist for your playstyle depends on your preferences and goals in Path of Exile.
