Yeah its a great build... But died once in ubertristam when taking on all three at the same time :/ Rejoined again and killed Baal and Diablo in 1 vs 2 and meph after that. So it works, just don't take on three at the same time :)

I'm too scared to uber with her on HC :P

I could get a LW, but I don't think the fade proc will do more good than harm. If lifetap keeps me alive and I need attack speed to leech often, overwriting BoS with Fade seems like a bad idea. LW is excellent for my smiter in SC, but riftsin/hc... not sure.

1on1 defensive style is the way to go I guess.

First I would like to congratulate you on what I perceive as a refreshingly creative build.

I did not have the time to read all 36 pages so I appologize if this has already been brought up:

Its seems to me that a Voice Of Reason PB would be an excellent weapon option for this sin...

Rift =
20% Chance To Cast Level 16 Tornado On Striking
16% Chance To Cast Level 21 Frozen Orb On Attack

20% Bonus To Attack Rating
Adds 160-250 Magic Damage
Adds 60-180 Fire Damage
+5-10 To All Stats (varies)
+10 To Dexterity

Voice Of Reason =
15% Chance To Cast Level 13 Frozen Orb On Striking
18% Chance To Cast Level 20 Ice Blast On Striking
(instantly freezing all enemies within radius)
+50 To Attack Rating
+220-350% Damage To Demons
+355-375% Damage To Undead (varies)

+50 To Attack Rating Against Undead
Adds 100-220 Cold Damage
-24% To Enemy Cold Resistance

+10 To Dexterity
Cannot Be Frozen (Giving you the option of switching out a Ravenfrost for something else?)

The fact that Voice Of Reason can be made in a Pb will make hitting the need kick frames a lot easier too

Ive messed around with a vor, its a nice temp and budget option for this riftsin, and works on a conviction pally nicely as well. With BOS, you dont need any ias to hit the 3fpa followup on talon using a scept/caddy ie -10wsm base. So the extra speed on vor isnt a benefit for the spec, so whats left is a weaker ctc aoe. The extra damage on kick cold damage on kick is indeed nifty.

The 30 ias referenced in the guide is mentioned in context for ubers while using fade instead, which truefully depends on whether you keep using rift or swap it out for something else. That something else picked may or may not require additional ias.

A really ez swap is simply grabbing wizzy, popping an UM in it, and using gface instead of vor. There's a bunch of option you can go for that swap, so plan accordingly.

One other reason I prefer rift to vor is the ctc on attack vs striking. Rift doesnt need to actually hit to get those procs.

I do like this set up.

Im just curious, if you remove Rift and uses Last Wish instead as primary, you loose the frozen orb, and makes the cold damage useless. Can you replace those items with some other ones? Like, Instead of Nightwing you uses CoA instead, instead of Ravenfrost, Bulkathos, and instead of Head Hunters Glory maybe Spirit or stormshield?

I want my assa strong for situations like ubers, clone etc...

Basically keep the same builds and gear except replacing rift. Will this greatly weakened my assa or make her a more suitable kicker for certain situations instead of everyday use?

Anyone who can tell me whether or not this sounds doable?

No. Only a sorceress would benefit of such +cold amulet, and only through the +Cold Mastery.
A conviction aura could also be improved by an amulet with +pala skill (or +all skill).

But orb damage, delivered by Rift, can not be improved - except by hard points synergy for a sorc (icebolt : +2%/hard point).
