Uber Neglect Showcase

Disclaimer: Not the most charges ever but I like the meme

I can't be the only one who saw the Tidebreaker rework during the league reveal and immediately thought of Slayer and Flicker Strike, scaling Frenzy charges to scale Endurance charges to scale Brine charges. By the time I finished my challenges, I'd gotten up to 14 max Frenzy charges:

• 3 by default
• 1 from Slayer ascendancy
• 3 from the passive tree
• 3 Precursor's Emblems^((one Kalandra's Touch))
  • extra ring slot via the Nameless Bloodline
• 1 from a Grace Sublime Vision
• 3 from gear:
  • Cobra talisman
  • Warlord gloves
  • Darkray Vectors

With unlimited budget, I think there's room for 5 more, using corrupted implicits and a perfect Eyes of the Greatwolf. I tried the Hands of the High Templar tech for +2 gloves but got bored of beastlocking.

Some notes about the build:

• Trauma Support self-hits, and self-hits proc Gain an Endurance Charge every second if you've been hit recently from Enduring Composure
  • Gonna need this for bossing, probably okay to do without if you're just mapping
  • Before you have the cash to buy the Frenzy Precursor's you can also find this mod on any red Precursor's for pretty cheap
• My path through the Nameless Bloodline removes utility flasks! That actually turned out fine, because tinctures and Writhing Jars are very useful in this build:
  • A well-rolled Tincture adds ~60% DPS with Runegraft of the Imbued
  • Worms can be used to generate charges before boss fights
  • Life flasks just grant rage with a Runegraft of Fury
  • Big sustain against certain rapid spell damage hazards, as we have 100% spell suppression and all life flasks gain 3 charges whenever we suppress spell damage; see the Uber Neglect showcase
• An easy leaguestart-ish flicker sustain combo is The Red Trail with The Golden Rule
  • Slayer has a node that grants Unaffected by Bleed but you can also inflict microscopic bleeds by converting 99% of your damage to elemental, leaving only 1% physical for the bleed damage
  • Another sustain trick is to use a Runegraft of Time to not consume a cooldown use
• Fiddling with stats to get both benefits from Rational Doctrine was pretty annoying until I realized I could fine-tune my stats with intrinsic catalysts instead of divines (unfortunately not a joke)

Plenty of inefficiencies and places to improve still. Had some trouble capping chaos resistance, and of course the build fails against mobs that steal or remove charges. The rares are all self-crafted and therefore mediocre. I'm also missing a bit of accuracy which really should be patched up with some tattoos. Unfortunately, once I finish my challenges I lose the motivation so I am now off to pursue other hobbies.
