Path of Building

https://pobb.in/FJ1bsmNWinWu

I would avoid bad layouts with narrow pathways such as Mire unless you want to path to boss nodes quickly and can't any other way.

Act 1 Gems

Frost Bomb - Spell Cascade - Concentrated Effect or Execute/Controlled Destruction if you don't like the small AoE

Essence Drain - Chain - Zenith/Swift Affliction

Contagion - Unleash - Magnified Effect

I would use Chaos DoT early on mainly for clear since it's pretty strong right now and then drop those spells when you get Frost Wall at 31.

Regex

"spell s|t speed|spell d|d block"

(spell skill|cast speed|spell damage|increased block chance)

If you like to have more Defence I would use an "increased block chance" shield instead of a focus.

Gear Progression

Look for +Levels to Spell Skills Gem at the Vendor. +Levels to Gems will provide flat damage. %increased Damage is important too but I would prioritise additional Levels to Gems over that. You can also get +Levels to Spell Skills on Shields (Focus), Wands and Amulet.

Additional Gem Levels will increase the base Mana Cost significantly. You might have to use Inspiration as a Support Gem.
