Rage Vortex of Berserking is much more “viable” with the return of tattoos + Phase Run abuse.

Previously, Rage Vortex of Berserking had 4 main ways to sustain rage:

• Cleave of Rage / Rage on Hit
• Shackles of the Wretched + Chains of Emancipation + cyclone self curse
• Chainbreaker with mana regen stacking, +/- manastorm
• Self cast warcry with redblade banner & War Bringer (CLUNKY because you have to time your warcries)

However, the return of tattoos allows us a “cheaper” way to perma sustain rage. Using Call to Arms + General’s Cry, and multiple warcry CDR tattoos, you can get General’s Cry CD to about 1 second. With War Bringer and Redblade Banner, you can sustain Rage Vortex of Berserking for about 20-30 seconds. And then – 1 second later – you’re at max rage again and you can start it all over.

Obviously you can also take advantage of this for permanent 50% more damage via Warbringer, and permanent onslaught via Lead by Example.

Phase Run “abuse”

So this is a known interaction – Phase Run will give 30% more damage to Rage Vortex (+/- of Berserking) as long as it is active. However, the “new” tech is that triggering skills via Call to Arms or Automation support does NOT stop Phase Run. All other methods of triggering skills, including CWDT, will stop Phase Run, but for some reason – Call to Arms and Automation supports do NOT. This may be a bug, but for now, the Call to Arms + General’s Cry variant of this build can ALSO enjoy free permanent Phase Run for 30% more dps. (buff is "permanent" since Phase Run can cool down during its own duration) You can even Automate Berserk if you wanted to make it more brainless.
