Hey, thx for being interested in this build.

Original thread is quite outdated. Im not runnin Pledge of Hands anymore.. I am usin Consuming Dark dagger for some time. I think it has a bit less damage, but way better survivability. On top of that you can use Whirling Blades as movement skill - which is best of all movement skills imho.

2.1 patch is going to hit me quite hard, but not hard enough! :) I'm still going to try to make this build work. Honestly I think I will have no issues at all.

Coming nerfs:

1) Echo wont work with incinerate anymore.
2) Echo wont work with Vaal Molten Shell anymore.
3) Inicnerate is nerfed at level 20 by 8%.
4] Incinerate does 50% more damage per stage instead of 100%.

Pros: since I'm running Consuming Dark, I do 75% percent of fire damage as chaos and I allways poison enemies with chaos damage. Since poison will be stackable, it is basically 20% multiplier to my chaos damage.

Echo on incinerate didn't work that great anyway since every second cast with Echo doesn't cost mana - therefore no explosion of Vaal Molten Shell. Since I'm using Taming+Emberwake combo I'm considering Chance to ignite gem as viable replacement. New support gem Controlled Destruction could be great too, but it does affect only Incinerate but does bring nothing to table when it comes to VMS damage.

Echo on VMS can be replaced by something else... honestly I think that damage on VMS is not even needed. Bosses are complete joke with it. Increased duration could be better and when u would need damage there is allways mentioned Chance to Ignite, Controlled Destruction, concentrated Effect etc.

Also I'm looking forward to try CWDT lvl 1 + Wither combo (movement speed reduction + stackable flat increase to poison damage).

Ok, thanks you for your answer ! :)
