Any reason in particular for going Assassin instead of Inquisitor?

Yeah, its very easy to get ele pen for wands (and especially with fire) so inquisitor would be big damage loss. And before fire we have EE that devalues inquisitor even more.

what how you get Nature's Boon as Assassin?

Oh oops. I used my SA pathfinder build guide as template and I accidentally left that in, lol. Removed.

Any recommended way of playing this build before getting Indigon?

Going to try it as a starter for HC and Indigon will be a bit tough to get early on.

What kind of cluster jewel notables look strong for this build?

Before indigon I would simply go for some high life rare. Without indigon you will most likely want to run 1 life instant flask + enduring mana flask instead of one of the DPS flask, but outside of that it should be fine, rest of the playstyle of the build will not change.

So far the explody mods look promising, then of course wand notables and also the Sap/Scorch/Brittle keystone.

A day before delirium starts. I'm gonna assume my kinetic bolt and spellslinger build will fail.

Anyways,
Have you consider full CI? Or do you think that requires too much investment (in points) for it to work, especially with new cluster jewels.

Yeah, I don't think CI would be great idea, because the build would lose the "overleech" from indigon, also it would require change of ascendancy to trickster for stun immunity, what means speed loss. And we would still want to stack mana, but with CI MoM would not be useful and it would be relatively hard to make up for the current EHP of the build in ES (as getting >9K ES with all the wand nodes + essence worm and indigon is probs not easy to do). If I wanted to go CI wander, I would most likely just go with like Power Siphon and int stack.

One thing I would reconsider is going full tri-elemental. This is because those new cluster notable are insane for tri-ele.

I'm thinking something like Sadist (60% increase elemental damage) and Corrosive Element (-10 tri elemental pen), Inspired oppression (60% mana regen).
