Rage Vortex Berserker 3.25 League Start Build Guide - Path of Exile

Leveling Notes Start using Ground Slam right after hillock, with Chance to bleed support and Maim support get Frostblink for movement and Blood and Sand as aura, and War Banner for utility. After Brutus get Leap slam with Lifetap support and Faster Attacks support and Intimidating Cry for more damage, you can also start using Enduring Cry for endurance charges but it shouldn't really be necessary at this point. At level 12 you can use Sunder after you enter Merveil's cave, use chance to bleed and maim at first, then Melee Physical Damage support in act 2 from weaver and Fist of War in act 4. Pick up Herald of Ash after fidelitas, and Blood Rage and Herald of Purity from the vendor in Act 2 In Act 3, get Vulnerability and Rallying Cry after crematorium. You can also replace Herald of Ash with Pride if mana feels good, but with the increased mana cost it might be hard to fit until you start using Rage Vortex which cost life as baseline. Kill all bandits, helping alira is good early on but then you will need to respec it for endgame. Take Crave the Slaughter as your first ascendancy, then War Bringer or Aspect of Carnage for cruel, merc whichever one you diddnt take before and Rite of Ruin last in eternal lab, make sure to have Soul Tether to mitigate the life loss. If you are playing SSF or want to use another belt, you can pick up the "Hearty" node on the tree to possibly outregen it. Not completely sure how early you can switch to Rage Vortex since we can't test the new Rage changes yet, but you can comfortably use Sunder all the way through the campaign. You may need a source of mana leech from your gear/jewels early on, until you get enough sockets to lifetap where its needed
