@OP: Have been wondering, have you tested running a Dying Sun instead of a second life flask during normal mapping? I noticed that while the coverage is pretty good, sometimes enemies are missed by the projectiles. Adding 2 projectiles to every spell cast could be quite nice. And it would build on and increase the biggest advantage this build has when compared to CoC Discharge: The huge AoE so we don't have to move to every pack and spin.

Sorry for the late reply, didnt notice the question before..
I have not tried using Dying Sun, but it would certainly not be bad for the build. As you say, it should heighten the map clear speed a bit due to lessening the chances of leaving stray mobs. Though I really like having two life flasks..

I see that you have it, how does it perform for you?

Hello, will this build still work if I use dual cospri instead of the lycosidae. And glacial cascade instead of hypothermia? I separate freezing pulse + cold damage + cold pen on 1 cospri, and glacial cascade + cold damage + cold pen on the 2nd cospri.
And I'm thinking about Scion, so I can grab winter spirit and flash freeze also, and don't have to spend a lot of Int,Dex,Str points just to travel to the important nodes.

There are a few issues with all of that.

Why cold damage? Hypothermia is much more damage.

Cold penetration is not the best choice for damage at this point, we already have 45% penetration and -48% enemy cold resistance.

Glacial Cascade will work, but would make this build much more "melee". Forstbolt has an insane range. I just don't see a reason to make this change. Won't really be more damage or anything as we don't scale physical and cold but only cold. Just much less range. If you really want to go CoC Glacial Cascade, make a seperate build, because then scaling physical damage would be what you want to do. But then I would go with purely Glacial Cascade in your 6link and also in your Cospri with Lycosidae in offhand. Here is why:

Getting rid of Lycosidae is the biggest problem. You will have to get T1 accuracy on gloves and the open ring socket. And even then you won't get over ~83% chance to hit. Which will translate into a massively lower crit chance (think almost half) for Cyclone which will result in actually lower DPS with two Cospris than you would get with Lycosidae. And even if you somehow manage to get 90% chance to hit by getting some accuracy nodes (which in turn would mean less damage nodes) 90% chance to hit is ~20% lower crit chance when compared to 100% chance to hit. There is a reason why Lycosidae is used in pretty much all the non-bow crit builds :D

Scion should be fine as a choice. As long as one of the classes is Assassin. For second class my choice in order would be: Elementalist>Inquisitor>Pathfinder

All in all I think that only the choice to go Scion is actually close to being as good as following this guide. Everthing else you have planned should result in much lower damage potential. Provided of course that you don't massively change the tree.

I think CoC Glacial Cascade could be pretty sweet. But as I said, the tree for that would look very different from this.

Edit: Just realized what you propose is pretty much Mathils current build. If you want to do that too, just follow his build at this link: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Mathil/characters

This build here has very few things in common with his idea. Just a warning though, his has significantly less damage potential.

Hey guys. Does the wise oak snapshot? Like I use wise oak to get the pen of the element I want, then after I used it I use dying sun which gives me 50 fire res. Does it update when I press dying sun or is the "original" oak still active (which would be cold, , Fire > cold if I use dying sun)
