Akarenji's Notes
PoB https://pobb.in/mKoGv1iYdeum
Molten Strike of the Zenith is often maligned as a multi-mirror or bait build, but the changes to Berserker in 3.25 have made it a lot more accessible by granting access to attack speed much earlier than a Juggernaut can. This coupled with the melee buffs made me want to attempt a league start challenge, using a physical crit variant with the new crit tinctures.
Whilst this build is inferior to Onemanaleft's strength stacking variant and the Templar elemental variant at the high end, the relatively easy scaling of crit builds makes access to T17 farming a lot easier than it would otherwise be - even as a league starter!
This video highlights the finished product of this project: a character which can farm T17s with most mods and can down Ubers easily. It lacks a Mageblood to maximise on max resistances, but I believe I've demonstrated that it is fine without one.
You can go a higher damage version if preferred, I just wanted 7k life.
