You can replace Fortify with Fire Penetration.

I have updated the guide to include the Champion variant. You can check it out under Elemental Overload section in post #2. :)

blood rage doesnt seem to go well with vaal pact. what should i do since vaal pact got buffed?

On reddit I often read that Ignite isn't as good as it used to be(?) , what do people mean with that?
I thought about going Chance to Ignite instead of Elemental Focus, but now i'm not sure anymore.
I saw some Ngamahu slayers with that setup, but they put Added Fire Damage instead of Fire Penetration in the Axe- Setup. Could you elaborate which is better or pro/cons? Thanks for the build btw, i think I played since Breach at least one Ngamahu-Build :)

You can certainly drop Blood Rage. It is an optional gem. Vaal Haste is a good choice if you want to drop Blood Rage.

Ignite used to double dip in the past but GGG had made changes to the way DOT works. It isn't as good as before but I still prefer having that in the axe because the damage difference between Elemental Focus and Chance to Ignite is minor.

With ignite, you will have much faster mapping speed because it can help to finish off mobs that didn't die from the initial hit.

EDIT: Missed out on the Added Fire vs Fire Penetration. Fire Penetration does more damage on Shaper so Fire Penetration is better.

one more question,
it says in our ascendancy 20% of overkill damage is leeches as life.
But the wiki says in regards of overkill damage, that neither Dots nor culling strike count into overkill damage. I don't understand, since we obviously leech a lot of life.

What should I do if I cannot afford a 6 socket Ngamahu at 55? Should I use something else in the meantime or get e.g. a 2 socket Ngamahu and work with only 2 support gems until I can afford a higher slot Ngamahu?

Yes, you can buy a 2 socket Ngamahu (not corrupted) then use your jeweler orb to increase the number of socket.
Since you don't need to have your socket linked on it, it is easy to get 6 slots on it yourself once you get some currencies.

For instance, the 2 ngamahu I brought were not 6 sockets already, I made it myself.

I have probally terrible newbie question but I have to ask to understand mechanics. Using Enduring Cry with Immortall call is really good idea? My immortal call with CWDT is activating very often so Im losing all endurances. Maybe the idea is to use Enduring Cry just for longer Immortal call? Is that right?

In 3.2 What belt you think is good to use?
