Multiple users of this build already confirmed that they have been able to kill Shaper.
Spoiler
" Hello boys and girls! Before the Abyss league, I wanted to find a build that would be a fun starter, good endgame and would make monsters melt and explode. I instantly came up with an idea of Molten Strike + Ngamahu's combo build, but since the Vaal Pact was nerfed, I wasn't sure about it, now I am, because, ladies and gentlemen, I think that the change to the Vaal Pact actually helped us and with the new gem "Ancestral Call", we are able to clear maps super fast. Here we go, keep up with me guys: PROS: " CONS: " So, broken down, our build will utilize: "
Alternative Gear
Carnage Heart Onyx Amulet " Carcass Jack Varnished Coat " Devoto's Devotion " The Red Dream Crimson Jewel " The links to items are taken from Kira's post since I don't own these items.
Some explenations:
Avatar of Fire: We are aiming for Avatar of Fire in the end-game, which gives us 50% convert of all phys damage to fire damage and zeroes every other damage we do, that's why we want Ngamahu's axe, which converts the rest of our damage to fire. Dying Sun Flask Gives us more Molten Strike and Molten Burst Projectiles, therefore more DMG. The Wise Oak Flask Gives us Fire penetration in case that Uncapped Fire Resistance is the highest of all our uncapped resistances, that's why we need as much Fire Resistance as we can get. Jewels We can use both type of Jewels, Abyss and normal ones. Great Normal ones will be much more expensive though.

Leveling
You want to start leveling with Cleave until you are level 18-28, than you switch to Molten Strike and use some basic support gems - Added Fire Damage, Melee Phys. Damage, EDWA. (Don't use Ele. Focus and Controlled Destruction yet!) Once you get a hold of 5 link, you add Fire Penetration/Ancestral Call, depending on your need. Once you get Ngamahu's, you can start using Ele. Focus and Controlled Destruction. You can find some useful leveling uniques on PoE wiki. Videos: " Passive Tree: " Big Thanks for Build Enhancing goes to: Krovah

Bandits? :)

looks promising

" You take 2 passive points or Oak. But the 2 passive points are much more better deal. :) |
|
I think Molten Strike has built-in 60% convert to fire damage. Do you really need to get Ngamahu's 50% and Avatar of Fire?
|
|
" Once we get the axe, we basically get full convert on molten strike, but we also want a full convert with Molten Burst Projectiles, since they also do great damage, that's why we take Avatar of Fire node and later in game, we change it for Xoph's. |

I will post a video of 72lvl char on tier 8 maps tomorrow, the build does just fine and with 5l Molten strike together with 5l Ngamahu's, it's tearing everything apart. So far so good. Transitioning to Ngamahu's gives us around double the damage. I swear.

The physical damage life leech cluster at the bottom of your tree isn't doing anything because you aren't doing any phys damage. Can change pathing in your tree to gain 5-6 more points to place elsewhere. Otherwise it looks good, I'm running something very similar myself.

" I believe it gives us a maximum life leech rate, which boosts our life leech on hit by 6? Not sure now, I am currently travelling to school. You may change it for something else basically and you shouldn't lose much. I myself added it just before I started writing the build, since it gives us a bit more leech and therefore survivability, you can change it for some life nodes that will basically do the same and maybe even better... we still get 20% more dmg while leeching and some other bonuses... I wasn't taking the cluster because of the phys. Leech. It also gives us a good boost until we get our Ngamahu's and avatar of fire later.

Hey man, I'll add this guide to the list, but please consider an other color scheme. I had a really hard time reading it.
The yellow is fine, but the dark red is a no go ;( (In fact I needed to play with the saturation of my screen to be able to read it. Yes I have bad eyes.) Nice to read colors would be: " █▀▀▌ █▌█▀▀▀ █▀▀▌█▄░▌
