Video overview (clear + some guardian kills)

Summary:
-
20-30 mil dps clear setup (ancestral call + melee splash)
-
up to 60 mil dps single target (damage links + tincture + rage)
-
surfcaster makes enemies deal 15% less damage, fortify, evade + suppress cap, 20% instant leech
This chronic hipster has finally found a sufficiently interesting way to make melee ele hit. Surfcaster's lightning -> cold conversion very strongly enables pure cold ele hit. Recombinators make crafting multi link weapons way more realistic and they have a much higher ceiling than paradoxica in this use case.
We can max shock, chill, and consistently freeze any boss. To maximize the scaling per ele ailment on the enemy we get scorch from Legacy of Fury and a lvl1 Armageddon Brand to smoothly proc ignite.
I could cut a lot of damage for a lot more survivability. I have 5 uniques with no life, and the nuclear option so to speak is to replace Squire with Svalinn. But it feels comfortable for the content I've been running (destructive play guardian farming) so no need to change.
