*Notes:*
You will have to make a Templar and kill Hillock at the start of the game to get Smite. Duelist apparently doesn't get Smite to start the game.
I adjusted things from the original theory craft video and instead ran Vitality, Clarity (low level), Arctic Armour, Herald of Ash and Herald of Ice as my reservation skills during the campaign. I did not switch over to Lifetap until I finished the campaign. I also tried out level 30 Determination and decided to spec out of it to get Elemental Valiance as my second ascendancy. When going through the campaign, try to use the skill groupings I have in the Act 10 PoB above. I'm not even running Determination at all, even in maps. I'm instead running Arctic Armour and Blood and Sand (Sand Stance) -- it's actually more effective.
