Generator really means Bolas since Grenades suck so bad. They'd need a decent supporting legendary if they want to be competitive... This leaves a single slot open for any variance, unless you just don't run Fan of Knives. The FoK dagger sounds really good though, and it's just easier if you don't have a second spender competing with Impale. It's really limited in this case, and it's much more likely a single optimal option exists if all you choose is one more skill.
That being said, I'm looking forward to trying it out. I want to see if Chains of Torment are any good. On paper, it sounds amazing. Scatter might be a good choice for AoE too instead of FoK, but they really took down the potential for every other rune. inb4 Spike Traps gains the Scatter rune legendary. I think just Bolas + Emimei + Leonine on Cube will be better than Chakram + Seething Spines of Hatred, though there's other great weapon options in the cube like Fulminator for dat sexy AOE.
The way they said it in the reddit thread...
"a new dagger will have the power "Every second, the damage of your next Fan of Knives is increased by 250-300%." To help with movement, a pair of bracers has the power "After using Impale, Vault costs no resource for 2 seconds." That item will allow you to Vault into position to Impale the high-value targets."
The set isn't really focusing on AoE as much as spiking down the high value targets.
