T17 Abomination boss rush - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_e3j_ie1Jg

POB - https://pobb.in/964fBw_0wnFZ - Budget around 180-200 Divines, mostly from the ring, the adorned, and corpses for crafting the axe. I did not edit the Trauma stack because it really varies, please think of it as the maximum DPS possible. The actual DPS will be lower, that's why I won't advertise this build as DOT capped.

I've been cooking a kinda weird build, using a 10 link combo from Elder axe and the Squire, but for bleeding. At first, I want to use Lacerate of Haemorrhage. The idea is to stack Elder mods mods in an axe, using graveyard craft - https://i.imgur.com/DVjdjTO.png

What I want is fractured Chance to Bleed + Melee/Brutality/Ruthless + Bleed dot multi + Bleed cull. But instead of Bleed cull, I got Ancestral Call instead, and the other three axes got +2 to melee gems. So I have no choice but to use another skill, which performs better than I thought, Boneshatter of Complex Trauma.

Why Boneshatter of Complex Trauma?

The idea behind this is, Bleed can stacks up to 8 times with Crimson Dance. Boneshatter of Complex Trauma has a unique mechanic that reset its Trauma when it reaches 10 stacks, rewarding player for keeping their stacks at 9, however, bleed build can use this to our advantage with enough attack speed. Because only the strongest bleed (or 8 strongest bleed stacks in this case) will deals damage.

So, if you can stand still and hit the boss till you get the stack reset, unless Volatility is trolling, the bleed stacks will be from 2 hit at 7 stacks, 3 hit at 8 stacks, 3 hit at 9 stacks, and after that it's still fine that the Trauma stacks got reset, because you have 4 seconds to reach the 6+ Trauma stacks again.

.... But what I said was just on paper before I started the build, as you can see in the video, I have too low attack speed to abuse this properly, but staying at 6-7 stacks is good enough for me because the skill already has high base damage.

How the build works?

The build use two main mechanics for damage, Frenzy/Affliction charges stacking with Olesya's Delight + Ralakesh's Impatience + Usurper's Penance, and 10 links main skill. Both are very popular this league so I don't think I need to explain it, but feel free to ask if you have question.

Why Slayer, not Gladiator?

Because I want to commit to the Adorned route, using two jewel slots for Masteful Form will creates more problem for me. The Adorned makes me curse immune, ailment immune, and fixing resistances and life problem for my build that use so much unique. Slayer is also quite good for bleed, especially bleed build that have enough hit damage to leech. I actually want to try Gladiator for juicy bleed pops and faster attack speed, but I don't want to lose the comfiness from jewels.

Tankiness?

The tankiness is quite fine, as I've showed in the video. I also leveled to 100 in Dunes without dying even once - https://i.imgur.com/LG1F2WX.png But it's nowhere near Juggernaut or Pathfiner level of tankiness, you'll still need to move around a lot.

Is it worth playing?

I sure have fun, so it's worth. But if we're talking about power per money sink, I don't think so, it's too expensive for this level of tankiness and QoL in my opinion.

Uber viable?

Yes, but requires skill be deathless, which I don't have, - https://i.imgur.com/KEt3Kvd.jpg

And that's the end of my yapping, if you have any question or recommendation, feel free to comment. Thanks for reading!
