why this the claws.. is this only generating PC's like 1x every 10min?
Curses attached to Herald of Ice via Curse On Hit are only applied from the explosion that occurs when you kill a frozen enemy. You're running Elemental Focus, which is preventing you from freezing mobs aside from the procs you get from your Touch of Anguish claws. You should really only be using Elemental Focus on bosses, take it out when you're clearing trash and you'll frequently be at max power charges.
Well Shit, TY,
OP made it seem that once you got these clawws you woudl have maxe pc al the time, besides bosses which there is another set up and that is all good
SO besides elemental focus, what is best 5l? melee hit? which converts to cold? + dcold?

Melee Physical Damage is a good gem, but bear in mind it doesn't apply to the projectiles so it's better for bosses than trash. I'm not sure what the best setup is for 5L/6L.
The Elemental Focus thing is definitely a major downside. If you have a blue socket in your chest you're using for Elemental Focus on bosses, really the only other things you can swap in for it on trash are Increased Critical Strikes or Increased Critical Damage. Those aren't really great compared to other options like Ice Bite or Added Cold, but if you're stuck with that blue socket they are about the best you can hope for. I suppose another alternative is Power Charge on Crit for trash, allowing us to drop the Curse On Hit/Herald of Ice/Assassin's Mark setup (or use a different curse in that setup) and swap that out for Elemental Focus on the boss.

Hey guys,
Are Bloodseeker Hellion's Paw or The Wasp Nest Throat Stabber better for budget weapons?

They do, you need 2 ToA to have 20% chance to freeze then aka Shatter from HoI giving the curse. Before you have ToA you blasph ass mark and dont use HoI or just sub out Ele Focus
Just checked. Got 2x ToA and it works, but only from 20% freeze chance, and from those 20% u got 30% chance to get power charge. That means for whole map i had twice 1 power charge.
Without ele focus i got 3 power charges almost all the time.
Maybe if we get higher freeze chance it would be worth it to use it, cuz it gives a lot of dps.
Well, let's think about increase freeze chance.
Claws = 20%, if we change 2 nodes as on screen, we get another 10% freeze chance, we lose only 4% elemental damage, icebite gives 15% freeze chance, The Taming ring gives 10% also, The Halcyon amulet gives 10% freeze chance also. We got space for 2 rare jewels, that gives another 10% freeze chance.
That gives 20+10+15+10+10+10 = 75% freeze chance. That would work, i think i will test it, but those uniques are very expensive right now.
Sorry for my bad english btw.
i will post a bug report and see what GGG's reply going to be.
If hits from Oro's Sacrifice + elemental focus can't ignite enemies, i would like to hear whether weapon ability does ultimately overwrites support gems.
