I'm doing a tweaked version for HC.

But right now it's pretty drastically changed since I swapped to Pathfinder. The only thing I miss is the ability to generate frenzy charges from hitting rare/uniques.

It feels a bit slower, but I prefer 100% uptime of flasks, (100% increased charges gained on killing enemies that are affected by elemental ailments, which is ALWAYS).

Would you mind linking your build or what changes you made to the original build? I'm interested in running this in HC.

Just started this build after speccing out of Spectral Throw. Anything to upgrade from here outside of Taste of Hate? Also, how do I deal with bosses? I'm trying to use this build to run shaped vault, but I keep dying and I have almost no single target damage.

few pages back a guy switched out for molten strike for single target for bosses.

I picked up a few different things, still having issues. Also where the hell did OP get 86% cold pen?

Thank you very much! Do you mind if I add you in game in case I have a question here or there? Very much appreciated.

Okay, that brings me to 80% cold pen, and it's still not very much boss DPS.

Out of curiosity, why don't you use phase acrobatics? Surely it's worth the four point investment?

Someone had already said it, but use Molten Strike. It is a bit of a shame to have to use two skills, but it gives you the best of both worlds. Personally, at the moment, my Tabula is using:

Molten Strike - Frost Blades - Hypothermia - Multistrike - Inc Cold Damage - Ele Damage with Attacks

And it works great. I am able to clear map bosses and shred things in AOE. My plan, eventually, is to get a pair of Elder gloves with Faster Attacks/Faster Proj and move one of the two skills in there to have two 6L - one for AOE one for ST.

I AM using Molten Strike, the single target still isn't enough for T14 maps. I've made a few changes to OPs build and it's working a lot better.

Shroud of the Lightless is overrated, Belly of the Beast is 10x better.
Carnage of the Heart isn't nearly as good as a amulet with crit multi and ele dmg if you can get one. Attribute bonus' on it also let you drop the two 30 nodes for another wheel.
-Added Hatred aura
-Added Frost Bomb to CWDT + Immortal Call setup
-Dropped Lightpoacher for Starkonja's.

Molten Strike damage is still a little sad and that I'm trying to fix, but Frost Blades isn't all that bad till around t13.

Wrote something before making sure I know what I'm talking about so nevermind :)

I'm not really sold on the carnage heart either, but cant ditch it yet because it has such nice attributes. You should of been using hatred from lvl 24 o.0 Great tip on the frost bomb, pob is giving me 12% more dps. Using starkonja's too, cant really go wrong with it. Abyssus is tempting but I have ptsd from my flicker strike last league who died ~500 times with it...
