Build Guide

After failing badly to survive in the greater rift solo attempts with full Unhallowed Essence set (combined with Natalya 3pc bonus & new MS quiver), I decided to praise the new Natalya set. Initial thought was to combine the boosted Rain of Vengeance mechanics and damage with my current fire CA MR build. Limitations permit only 4pc MR bonus along with full set bonus from NV. The playstyle is; use RoV every CD, activate turrets, dump hatred via Cluster Arrows until RoV CD reset, rinse and repeat. Not being able to use Cindercoat or Pride's Fall and a generator would hinder effectively using CA - I thought - but then I realized 4-5 CA was enough to reset the RoV CD and there you have a rotation. You need to tweak paragon points and available slots/affixes on items to optimize RcR. Reaper's Wraps / Blood Vengeance also helps. Saffron Wrap on waist slot is more valuable than a WH belt, rcr on weapon and quiver are desired affixes as well. Hatred Regen on weapon+cloak+quiver are also handy. I'm still trying to get a feel for it in PTR but even with unoptimized clumsy gameplay it feels overpowered for T6. I still need a test run in solo greater rifts to have an idea and compare it though..
