Play around with this:

Arc and blade vortex are the vast majority of the metagame. After them is winter orb, which seems like it's pretty similar play to blade vortex but cold and perhaps for people nostagic for Diablo 2.
I'm playing a consecrated path jugg that's been pretty enjoyable and that should be viable for the uber elder with the right gear.
Aside, I'm really digging the Betrayal content. Einhar is super fun to play with, between the delightfully-now-easy beast catching, his catch phrases, and his awesomely powerful crossbow. The villains are fun, especially when the seem to remember and resent that you interrogated them and have the dialogue to let you know about it. In some leagues, like Incursion, the incursions were too difficult for early builds, so I ended up skipping them until I had something resembling a complete build. Here, it's scaled better, so you can still do most things.
