Loving the build so far, still early maps and gearing up but it's a breeze. By the way, for anyone interested, I found an easy way to get either +1 fire spell or x% fire dmg as chaos on shield.
1) search for shield with block mod + high life roll + inc (fire) spell dmg (= prefix), empty prefix and 2 suffixes (1 empty suffix for block craft).
2) block all suffixes with any craft, or you can roll fire res
3) augment fire , the spell dmg blocks % inc fire dmg, only possible rolls are +1 fire spell skill gems or x% fire dmg as chaos dmg.

I rolled 7% fire dmg as extra chaos, not sure if +1 fire spell skill gems is better. Theoretically can easily reroll wtih remove/augment fire, haven't seen that craft yet though.

Yeah it is great, I already posted it in my guide as well. Be careful though, you literally cannot block while swapped.

Hey Moe, I wanted to say thanks for sharing the build. While I'm still rather new the guide was easy to follow and the build itself is a lot of fun. I'm just now getting into t14 maps but I've really enjoyed myself throughout the entirety of the league thanks to your build.

I have one question that I've been trying to figure out though.. I decided to roll on some hunter boots for tailwind, and I also have some redeemer boots with % chance to gain onslaught.. I was thinking of using an awakener's and then harvesting the ms/life or whatever else but I'm just confused how you were able to get both tailwind and projectile pierce on your boots since they're both hunter influence?

Thanks again for the build!

First of all, thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it.

About the boots... I just happened to buy them with both mods + life on and harvest crafted the rest. Tbh the pierce mod on the boots is basically useless, since I recrafted the gloves for it. We want EXACTLY one pierce, not more, because otherwise the projectiles fly through the pack and land in the wall. And since fireball has two damage components, the hit and the explosion, but only the hit triggers on the pierced mobs, we definitely want the balls to explode in the pack.

For your onslaught idea: I would strongly suggest you use a Cinderswallow Urn (with crit or stun avoid enchant), because it has triple benefits: It gives Salvo dps, onslaught AND 3% life/ES on kill. You could replace the Quicksilver, since we Shield Charge all the time anyway.

The perfect boots are probably Elusive+Tailwind, if you want to go on with the Awakener's Orb plan.

I'm having fun with the build overall and pretty maxed out most of my gear but I think the real issue with this build is life tbh. Way too hard to get to life wheel and by the time you hit lv 90 you barely start going to the life wheel. Also, you will be sitting at around 5k hp at lv 90 which really sucks when trying to boss. Dunno what to min and max anymore.... Lots of dps just not enough life to not get one shotted with this build.
