Since this league was so packed with currency I had a ton of currency to finally pursue homebrewing my own build. What originally started as a Bladefall power charge stacker became a EK Nimi, because of how easy it was to achieve 100% crit with the crit stacking per charge charms.

Who is this build for?
People who just want to push as little buttons as possible to blow stuff up. This is a solid all content style build, that has a lot of room for tinkering and tailoring to what ever content people want to complete. It probably will be the only time charges will be so broken since Ralakesh will probably eat nerfs.

Features
10 Power Charges/10 Frenzy Charges/ 5 Endurance Charges

86million single target DPS Guardian Pinnacle

25million single target DPS Uber Pinnacle
100% spell suppression/23k evasion/Chaos immunity

Scaling

EK of the Massacre scales on physical damage, but gets a majority of individual damage from skill level. Each point extra level is almost 2million damage so getting a empower is a major boost. Since the skill was 100% physical I decided to use cold conversion gloves to make mapping even comfier.
Charge stacking is broken this league with the changes to Ralakesh, as long as you even have 1 charge you are considered at maximum. This allowed a majority of charge base charms and That Witch Was Taken to be viable.

Playstyle

The build has one button for mapping and that is EK. Basically shield charge around and throw out some knives and everything on screen will explode. When it comes to bossing the build does have to manually cast snipers Mark. With insane amounts of leech (1,100 per hit) most the time degens or any hit that isn't a 1 shot can be tanked.

Suggested Changes/Notes

My original intention was to pickup a flame/flesh combo for deadly infusion, but charms are just so much cheaper. Given the chance adding deadly infusion would have boosted the damage by 2million. Since I have mageblood, but wanted to use Graven's secret cloth belt I didn't bother to plan for a melding of the flesh. So everything that was crafted didn't have melding in mind, but with a few changes melding could be added easily for 80+ all resist.
