GEM LINKS (MODIFIED):

Basically the EK and Vaal setup seemed good. The use of AA / HoT / Hatred seem appropriate. But the CWDT and general setup seemed lacking...

GLOVES
ARCTIC BREATH
MULTIPLE PROJ
CWDT
*ASSASSINS MARK (low lvl)

WAND
ENDURING CRY
INCREASED DURATION
*VAAL GRACE / VAAL HASTE

SHIELD
CHAOS GOELM
HATRED / HoT / AA

EXTRA SOCKET (6S5L Chest or Unset Ring)
HoT / HATRED / AA

-Then a 4L totem felt more useful.

BOOTS (MAGIC FIND)
FLAME TOTEM
FASTER PROJ
CULLING STRIKE
ITEM RARITY

BOOTS (DAMAGE)
SPELL TOTEM
ETHEREAL KNIVES
FASTER PROJ
ADDED FIRE / CRIT CHANCE
-This totem receives hatred aura and spell damage from HoT and all the same perks as your EK (6% base crit, piercing, 10 proj / cone size, spell damage, ele damage etc.)

BOOTS (DAMAGE ALT)
FLAME TOTEM
FASTER PROJ
CAST SPEED
ADDED COLD / FIRE PEN
-Remember cold damage crits freeze. 5% base crit here. Gets HoT spell damage. Quality flame totem also gets more hp. Piercing projectiles are wasted here and no Hatred benefit (missing cold damage without skill gem or +flat cold damage to spells).

Another option would be to drop totem entirely, swap in the auras to the boots, and use lightning warp / faster casting / reduced duration for a movement ability in the wand or shield 3L



Advanced Play Notes:
Spoiler

SWAP HATRED FOR GRACE IN SHIELD FOR ELE REFLECT MAPS

SPEC AVATAR OF FIRE FOR PHYS REFLECT MAPS


WEAPON SWAP FOR PROXY SHIELD / ALLIES CANNOT BE KILLED

DIVINARIOUS WITH:
FIRE TRAP, FIRE PEN, CONC EFFECT

Swap is not ideal if using auras / golem in main hand or shield.

You want to be hitting your Doedre's often enough to keep frenzy charges at max along with Vaal's / Innervate for max DPS / clear speed. Currently 25k dps with auras. 30k+ dps with charges. 40k dps with onslaught and max charges.


My Setup:
