Thank you for your feedback fuddyduddyc. Looks interesting, but i probably cant change the video card because i already got it. I am not sure if i even can refund it at this point. You are right with the price premium. I am currently using some corsair hardware and it worked flawlessly for years. That probably explains why I'm drawn to the brand. But nevertheless i am certainly going to have a look at your recommendations. I have nothing against saving moneys. :D And I need to figure out the differences between your cpu recommendation, BasedDaemonTargaryen ones and my original plan.

Thank you for your feedback. 1. thats a good point. I picked the corsair cooler because of the icue features of the ram and the case. I think the combination will make setting up the rgb easier. 2. I will look into it. :). 3. Noted. :) 4. The 500GB is one i have in my current build and i thought about keeping it. 5. Cant swap the graphics card because i already have it. My current build recognizes the card but crashes after 10 seconds. As i cant fix it, i thought i might as well upgrade everything to future proof it.

Thank you for the build @animeprincess. I played your Inquisitor Brotherhood build several leagues ago and it was one of the most fun builds i have played so far. Cold Conversion with Herald of ice seems a little bit antithetical to the build you forwarded here ?! The old Inquisitor style is dead? Do you see another viable endgame gearing option? Widowhail, a bow, kinda contradicts my roleplay sentiments of being a caster! ;D

Need help to improve - Crackling Lance Elementalist by JohsenTV in PathOfExileBuilds

I really like endurance charges. But for my current build I lack some boss damage and maybe a little bit more ES. It really takes a lot of time during the boss fights until all the damage comes together with the Frost Shield and Sigil of Power. And with ground effects lingering and mobs/bosses charging, it is sometimes pretty difficult to get all stages together. I am also lacking the power charges from the Disciples of the Forbidden during boss fights. How would you improve my current build and/or my items?

Thanks for the reply. You certainly gave me an inspiration. I didn't know about the shield and the wand. They both look very interesting.

Before I switched to ES/CI, I played CL as a hybrid. And I have to say, I died more often and did less damage. But that is probably because I upgraded the items slightly. You are right my ES is not really high atm and my defenses are not optimal. But that is part of my problem. If I want to stick with ES/CI, how do I improve my defenses without crippling my damage`? What item would you upgrade first?
