I think either monk or mercenary is good for this, esp gembling legionnaire provide double to stats bonuses

The stat bonus for Int is 2 mana per 1 Int and 1% Increased ES per 5 Int. So it's just a little more ES and mana, but not Int itself or damage.

Hey guys!

It's time for a new PoE league (3.26)! Haha, just kidding. Instead of the next league, GGG gives us a new treat - a chance to play PoE 2. WOOT!!

Of course, I'm going to be in the Early Access, although not from day 1 and with a bit limited play time. December is always a busy time of the year for me.

I've looked at the classes available in Early Access, and so far the closest thing to our PoE 1 build seems to be the Monk. He has block, CI and ES leech. Just need to see what The Whispering Ice 2.0 looks like. GGG promised that all uniques from PoE 1 will be in PoE 2. And this staff was shown in one of the very first PoE 2 teasers back in 2019 when they talked about how the support gems will work in the new game.

We'll see how everything works out.

I'm heavily contemplating focusing on a Sorceress first.
If Icestorm is in, and stacking plays a role, then depending on how bursty it is, we can add cooldown to it, then play Chronomancer to play around this self-imposed limitation. If is not that heavy hitting and more spreadable around (who knows if there is a 4 limit again), then the elemental tree could help out, we can chill, ignite, shock and maybe even set all of that off by discharge supports. And if ice storm is not in...Well, then I'll settle for anything that freezes half the screen somehow :P
