N6 Rain of Vengeance - GR120 - 2.7.3

While waiting for the next PTR, I decided to push Natalya's Rain of Vengeance. Seeing the full potential of this skill required a similar build setup to the N6 Thorns push from months ago. I geared N6 w/ Captain Crimson, Aughild, Hellcat Waistguard, and Odyssey's End.

I was surprised by the ease of clearing GR120. I expect this build to top out at ~GR123-124 at my paragon.

If I planned a future PTR update to return RoV back to relevancy, I'd raise the N4 bonus from 100% to 1000%. Then I'd buff Crashing Rain with a 400% Rain of Vengeance damage multiplier.

Squeezing in Crashing Rain AND Hellcat Waistguard together requires dropping Captain Crimson, the proposed gains from N4 and Crashing Rain are 18.33x or 18-19GRs with the Anathema rune. Eliminating Anathema altogether may require a more complex edit to Crashing Rain.

Perhaps Crashing Rain should offer separate damage multiplier based on the number of Rain of Vengeance stacks on the skill bar. With Shade, the next best rune choice, I can get somewhere between 3-4 stacks of simultaneous RoV. If Crashing Rain gave 350% per stack, it'd likely balance out the Shade, which is roughly 6-7GRs weaker than Anathema.

Ronin, a fellow DH player, suggested making the N2 bonus reduce the cooldown of the Vengeance skill eliminate the need for Dawn entirely. That'd be a nice touch.

What would you do to make a stronger N6 RoV build?
