Since you seem to favor dmg output, try this variant. http://www.d3planner.com/717874743 vs. your http://www.d3planner.com/925751529
Assuming both builds are: Solo w/ Templar equipped with Occulus Ring/Overwhelming Desire, gemmed with an Effcacious Toxin/Iceblink. Leg Gems at 80, 10 stacks Taeguk, 50 stacks Stricken.
Assuming the tests benefit the skills selected. For mine because of Frost Nova/Audacity, in melee 10 yards, spread of 1, 20 white, 1 elite. For you because of Power Hungry and no Frost Nova, at range 35 yards, spread of 1, 20 white, 1 elite.
Your simulated DPS: 2571.450 B vs. my variant's simulated DPS: 4778.769 B.
You end up freezing nearly half of the enemies due to your blizzard, my Frost Nova's end up around 10%. You receive damage reduction if those frozen mobs are within 25 yards from your APD, which seems a wash as your benefiting from Power Hungry. I think you might do better with Audacity as your DPS is roughly the same 2573.311 B under the 10 yard test.
In which case considering the dmg outputs of both, I would remind you of your own words "You don't quite understand how LoN builds work. Its best to use a skill with a high dmg multiplier and gear support." -Kamui1770.
Realistically though, I think all the builds linked on this thread with the exception of the one TrueColdkil posted which giving him the benefit of the doubt accidentally lacked a channel skill are fairly powerful in their own rights.
And I think you're absolutely right when you said "Play your way" as that's what likely will make the game more enjoyable in the long run. I want to thank you though for giving me insight to look into the Energy Twister, as its damage output is truly scary.
Adding an extra 350 INT x 13 = 4550 INT, and upping the gems from lvl 60 to 80, hardly seems like a fair comparison of your build compared to mine. You know what I mean?
I'm wondering if some of you with experience calculating the numbers for builds might be able to shed some light on what I calculated for my build and be able to discuss its overall feasibility and possible theoretical limitations. I ask as I'm new to creating my own builds and likely could benefit of some of you with more experience
Here are the two relevant links for the build to examine:

Greetings,
I'm wondering if some of you with experience calculating the numbers for builds might be able to shed some light on what I calculated for my build and be able to discuss its overall feasibility and possible theoretical limitations. I ask as I'm new to creating my own builds and likely could benefit of some of you with more experience
Here are the two relevant links for the build to examine:

Obviously, in an actual usage the numbers will be lower as the build discusses the potential maximums. Thanks for the help.
