The easy way to fix it is to socket in Added Lightning Damage into your Static Strike setup instead of Rage.

I think P2L is a better support, it will ensure 100% of exposure applications are lightning since the fire/light damage ranges don't overlap at all. Added light (20/20) has significant overlap, meaning a low-roll with lightning damage will apply fire exposure -- I estimate this will happen with the POB damages around 30% of the time.

[Light damage < 1998 (~18.6%) ] + 0.5 * [Light damage between 1998 and 2910 (~22.3%) ] = 29.75%

You really should have a warning about anyone wanting to use Aspect of the Cat. Every 7 seconds (or less if you use lesser duration support gems...) you hear "Ch ch ch" ringing type sound when your charges expire. It's one of the most annoying sounds you'll hear on repeat while playing the game. It's so bad I have sound effects disabled. Anyone know if there's a way around that (aside from leaving sound effects on and embracing insanity)?

*EDIT* I assumed less duration support would make it so these charge depleting sounds happen more often, but it stops them from happening entirely. Shuffling gems around to make that happen fixed the issue!

Thanks so much for this build; I am absolutely loving it so far! It saved me when I was starting to feel really bored with steel skills, this was the perfect pivot!

Any chance I could ask for a little help pushing the damage on it? I've done A8 Sirus now and delved down to 250, so the damage isn't bad. It's super tanky and feels good, but I'd love to squeeze a little more DPS. The only low hanging fruit I see is the Blizzard Crown, for which I'm saving. Maybe the weapon needs upgrading?

Glad you're enjoying it!

Things I see:
1. You should be able to get a better claw without much expense. The attack speed is a more multiplier. At least craft on better speed. Edit: because we use secrets of suffering and can get 10 stacks of brittle on bosses, crit chance on our weapon isn't as important. Its great to have, but not necessary. Keep that in mind when searching for a new claw.
2. An anger crit multi WE can give you 30+ more crit multi.
3. I didn't see +1 pierce craft on anything... it won't help you single target, but it feels really nice with multiple enemies around.
4. I tweaked your current tree a bit to give you a decent dps boost by sacrificing a little life. Take a look: https://pastebin.com/ZLWqBSw6

For going extra hard... Drawmonster and I have been pushing the build beyond my original recommendations. Here is what I am playing right now: https://pastebin.com/uaqc3NYd One thing to take away for you without bothering with clusters, etc, is a large thread of hope could allow you to get +2 pierce with a single passive, as well as a chunk of elemental damage with flask effect down below.
