I've been thinking of trying an ED Trickster build next league, I'm gonna wait and see what the patch notes are though before asking if it's any good. I've been looking at this build for it, but I'm kinda worried it'll be sub-par once the patch notes are out (curses are already getting weakened so that tricurse set-up isn't looking so hot, though chances are I wouldn't get a Veil for quite a while anyway, and I've seen lots of speculation that Poison double-dipping is gonna get fixed too which seems like it'd hurt any build using Consuming Dark a fair bit IF it ends up being the case).

Apparently I suck at builds. What would you change about my ED theory build?

It looks really similar to the one just posted.

Agreed, except replace stupid-rear end builds with "what is the laziest build I can make so I only have to click one active skill or better yet none". Probably going to go with Summon Zombie + Knockback / Raging Spirits + Knockback again, I remember that being loving hilarious to watch enemies get bullied right off the screen.

Ice Spear Burn Prolif Inquisitor:
http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-...ZNVS_IdYeImlfnd

The plan is to hit monsters once to ignite, then hit again to take full advantage of the damage increases from Instruments of Virtue, Righteous Providence, and Celestial Punishment.
First hit applies a proliferating ignite, second hit applies a much stronger ignite.
Going to have to get a Realmshaper/Realmender, though. They were rolling prophecy into the core game, right?

Yep!

Inquisitor doesn't double dip with burns though, as the actual ignite still gets fire res applies to it fully. This is why I prefer the dual ele curse option, as the curse applies to both the initial hit and the damage on the ignite.

I'm going to go for vortex ignite though I'm pretty sure, so it won't be too different.

Oh, uh, that kind of sinks the entire build. Back to the ol' drawing board! Maybe triple Poison Stone Golem Guardian?

I mean ice spear ignite didn't seem like a bad concept, just that inquisitor wouldn't be the best option. I'm going vortex burn because the "spell damage affects damage over time" mod applies to the ignite too, which is insane with LL RF.

Unless I wake up tomorrow to find that ignite double-dipping is getting the same treatment that poison will almost certainly get of course.

Based on some key words in the markov'd version, I'm guessing poison is getting nerfed and earthquake's aftershock is getting reduced. Maybe mines/traps as well based on the 'trivializing bosses' part. I'm hoping killing Uber Atziri won't go back to the days when it was just incinerate and hundreds of exalts builds that could run her, and melee gets enough love in general to make up for earthquake and poison's nerfs. Honestly physical melee sort of needed poison to compete with elemental spells, its only really 'problematic' with earthquake and mines, and I'm not even convinced that earthquake/voidheart/poison double dipping was that broken of a build compared to any mine build or good spell builds.

Some very wrong things about voidheart
Voidheart alone made it so you needed to dedicate almost zero passive points to damage, which meant you could be the tankiest piece of poo poo ever and still clear all maps, and itt also let you drop the poison gem for another more multiplier. Sure, the clearspeed isn't as high as some spell builds, but you make up for it by being basically immortal

The bleed AND poison is what gets me. There's a fair amount of passives that really ramp up damage on the assumption that a reliable bleed is either a serious skill point investment or using an exceptionally rare/expensive item.
