Detonate Dead with 
Fire Spell on Hit is really insane for clear and Smith of Kitava has some really interesting defensive layers to go along with it. The character is really fun but 
Flicker Strike is by no means a perfect skill, try 
Falling Thunder for single target and see which skill you prefer! 
Boneshatter has a perfect synergy with Minion Pact II + 
Wolf Pack + 
Cast on Minion Death to cast very consistent 
Profane Ritual which feed our Power Charge + Flicker Strike interaction. 
Charge Regulation lets us benefit from constant up-time of all 3 charge types and makes the character significantly faster and tankier.

Gem Priority
+54
Lineage support gem priority is Garukhan's Resolve, Rigwald's Ferocity, Atalui's Bloodletting, Uul-Netol's Embrace OR Rakiata's Flow, Dialla's Desire with 
Solus Ipse Equip Tech, and Uhtred's Omen if you have the currency.
In the tooltip of your skills you can pop out a carrot on the right side and manually bind their Weapon Set Slots (it looks like this >)
[Weapon Set I]
Boneshatter [Weapon Set I] this moves very fast with Rigwald's Ferocity, enables our Cast on Minion Death engine with Minion Pact II and Wolf Pack so that we can generate infinite Power Charges with Profane Ritual AND is our primary source of movement!
Wolf Pack [Weapon Set I] this MUST MUST MUST only be on [Weapon Set I] because they can avoid their respawn death timer with Weapon Swapping to Boneshatter.
Cast on Minion Death [Weapon Set I] this MUST MUST MUST only be on [Weapon Set I] and it has inherent synergy with our Boneshatter + Minion Pact II and Wolf Pack + Minion Instability combo!
Frost Bomb [Weapon Set I] is used to generate Cold Infusions, these Cold Infusions are then consumed by Spark to generate Power Charges with 
Infusion of Power. This is exclusively used in a Boss Room Single Target Environment!
Spark [Weapon Set I] is used to consume the Cold Infusions created with Frost Bomb so that we can generate Power Charges in our Boss Room with Infusion of Power.
[Weapon Set II]
Flicker Strike [Weapon Set II] consumes Power Charges to destroy everything! We have multiple Power Charge generators and a Weapon Swap engine designed specifically to service the Power Charge demands so we can Spam this skill as often as possible. After a Flicker Strike use let off the button for a half second and maybe mix in a Killing Palm because while its being USED you cannot GAIN more Power Charges.
Killing Palm [Weapon Set II] is used in-between Flicker Strike and also generates Power Charges itself. I press my Flicker Strike and immediately start holding the Killing Palm and it procs the second the Flicker Strike is done. By the time this Attack concludes you'll be ready for another Flicker Strike.
Cast on Critical [Weapon Set II] is basically just Profane Ritual automation for 90 Spirit!
Herald of Ash [Weapon Set II] BOOOOOOOM everything when it dies. Also destroys Abyss, Breach, and aids the clear alongside Detonate Dead.
Herald of Thunder [Weapon Set II] because we shock enough to justify it, kind of a why not? No real logic behind not taking a little extra damage for 30 Spirit
[BOTH Weapon Sets]
Fire Spell on Hit has a socketed Detonate Dead and is our Endurance Charge Generator via Armour Break III. This has insane Area of Effect and does % based Damage from the Maximum Life of the Monster Corpse it Detonates, helping the clear for our character out a ton. This is the primary reason we play Smith of Kitava!
Charge Regulation gives us a permanent % more Defenses, occasionally % more to Critical Hit Chance, and an increase to our Skill Speed

Heroic Tragedy needs a VORANA modifier and should be socketed next to what is usually 
Chaos Inoculation, you are looking for as many increased Energy Shield notables as possible. Your Strength will turn into increased Energy Shield with Black Scythe Training. Good seeds for the jewel are 3610, 1295, 4366, and 7276.
From Nothing is either passives in radius of 
Conduit or Chaos Inoculation, whichever gives you the most Energy Shield nodes from your Heroic Tragedy
Controlled Metamorphosis has a MASSIVE radius and as little -% Elemental Resistance roll as you can afford.
Heart of the Well takes a Gain As Extra Prefix, % of Leech is Instant or another Extra Prefix, and in a perfect world Increased Critical Hit Chance and % increased Critical Damage Bonus or Attack Speed.
Megalomaniac should only take Infusion of Power or Overflowing Power. Whichever is not anointed on your 
Solar Amulet!
Flesh Crucible takes 
Blood Magic, make sure to get Less Movement Speed as the other mod. We don't need Movement Speed because we use Boneshatter to move (Attack Speed). This saves you a support in every gear slot so you don't need to take Lifetap.
Sapphire should have increased Maximum Energy Shield, increased Critical Hit Chance, Increased Critical Damage Bonus, or 2% Recover Maximum Life on Kill. The rest of the mods are whatever you like!
The Chosen Nodes in our 
Smith's Masterwork are 
Heatproofing, 
Tribute to Utula, 
Support Straps, 
Tantalum Alloy, 
Kitavan Engraving, and 
Leather Bindings.
Make sure you immediately socket Detonate Dead in your Fire Spell on Hit from your ascendancy 
Heat of the Forge or you'll get this weird Spirit reservation bug.
