In the new Molten Strike version the Power Charges option is active in Configurations. Where are these coming from? I see the claw stealing mechanic, but that wouldn't work in boss fights?

That has Always been ticked in my PoBs.

Ralakeshs impatience before the fight, and jaws of Agony in between/before phases.
With the amount of DPS I have I Phase Bosses instantly, and the Power Charges are always Up while I Attack them. If I bother to Deal with it.
I'll do that once again in the new Uber Elder Video for the updated Guide later on.

That said, I get that its
A: too much hassle for the average Player
B: Not reliable at all for characters with less DPS.

So I Might end Up removing it/adding a note regarding that.
Its just that These are my personal PoBs that I use to gauge my max DPS, and that includes Power Charges on Shaper, Uber Elder and Uber Atziri.

For mapping theyre Always Up due to Assmark CoH on the HoI.

Hope that clears it Up.

Thoughts on leveling.

I did not pick this as a league starter due to sunder/stat stick nerfs. I instead leveled as arc miner and I'm glad I did because the league content is insanely difficult.

I am now leveling this character as a second character and I've found that you can make the leveling process silky smooth with <5 chaos. Get Facebreakers, Meginord's Girdle, Deidbell and The Deep One's Hide. Use a skill that can be used with unarmed attacks (Smite or Ice Crash for example) and get as much flat phys damage as you can on gear. Run Hatred and Herald of Purity for even more DPS. My gem link setup is Smite - Faster Attacks - Added Lightning - Ancestral Call. This is probably not the best setup, I just went by the socket colors I had.

Follow roughly the same tree as in Guffinn's leveling guide. I went into the Shadow starting area first to pick up Coordination for attack speed and Blood Siphon for life. Then I travelled down past Acrobatics to get Essence Sap (not in this build's endgame tree, but it takes care of our mana issues until we start using claws and get mana leech.) After that, I picked up the resists in the Scion starting area and then the life wheel. Having resists on the tree (and from Alira) is very helpful because we use a lot of uniques and iron rings.

With just a little investment this build has been smoother to level even than my arc miner. Damage is insane, even without a Tabula, and it's probably tanky enough for hardcore in the hands of a cautious player (I had nearly 2000 life at the end of act 5.) So this is my suggestion for how to level this build in the current meta.
