Hello everyone. So, as I already mentioned in this post https://old.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/mwx9ci/petrified_blood_perma_berserk_flaskfinder_life_is/ I was thinking about running Petrified Blood + Berserk package with Elemental Hit to see if it works as well. And well, the result is that it does. For details about how the rage generation works, see the first post (first comment there).

On top of that someone in comments suggested Strength of Blood, what was very good addition, 23% less damage taken for around 8 point investment or so, pretty solid.

Also dont be confused by the low HP in the video, it is actually really tanky setup thanks to combination of 3 less damage taken sources, Berserk, Petrified Blood and Strength of Blood.

I am also using quite interesting setup for boosting single target damage. Hydrosphere in Asenath's Chant together with Vengeant Cascade. In ideal conditions, this doubles my damage. How it works is:

• You position Hydrosphere behind the boss (its getting autocasted by asenath so simply put your cursor there)
• Your projectile splits from boss thanks to Sniper's Mark, hits Hydrosphere as now its final target for Vegeant Cascade and returns, hitting the boss twice

I also automate Berserk and Sniper's Mark in Asenaths Chant. And I also have PCoC on Hydrosphere what ends up being very reliable source of power charges. On top of all this I am going for 50% increased flask effect to get extra projectile from Dying Sun for better clear and better single target.

All in all, I think at least at the moment this is one of the strongest, if not the strongest hit bow build setup (without Headhunter, with HH you cant run the perma berserk combo) and im enjoying it quite a lot, would highly recommend (especially because I think some of these things might be nerfed next league, as at least to me, this combination of Petrified, Berserk, Strength of Blood feels a bit too good for the investment required).

Here is PoB for my current character: https://pastebin.com/Wzp7AzjV (around 15.4M dps, I just finished gearing it today with some basic stuff, will improve later)

And here is final/theoretical PoB with nicely named items and stuff: https://pastebin.com/3DNavTNU (around 40M dps, can go a lot higher with better items)
