Shield Crush Berserker is looking quite good on cheap/SSF friendly gear (3m+ DPS, ~100k eHP)

It can probably be optimized a lot, especially with clusters, but this is a very basic setup that's quite easy to achieve early and in SSF. Numbers look good, but Shield Crush doesn't feel super good to play due to the cone shape. Clear is somewhat improved with a Call of Steel setup as well as some extra AoE on gems, tree and gear.

Some notes:

  • If spells feel good due to capped suppression you can drop Versatile Combatant for huge attack avoidance.

  • You can probably equip the Adrenaline/Onslaught gloves (Tanu Ahi) for better clear since you don't need implicits for +1 strike or similar. You might even be able to have decent uptime on bosses.

  • If you hit block on shield you can drop some block nodes on the tree or swap The Anvil for something else. You can probably find some good corrupted Anvils for cheap.

  • Anomalous Blood Rage might allow you to sustain Frenzy Charges on bosses, but it's quite expensive AFAIK.

  • Best Watcher's Eye is +1 Impale, which is around 20% more damage, but there are a lot of good ones.

Overall it's likely not the best build, or even close to it, but it should get you through the Atlas fairly easily. 3.22 changes shouldn't affect it substantially (I think some nodes got moved slightly).
