My other build got too intensive so I wanted to make a fun 1 button build. Also I decided to make as most out of Mageblood as I could (this is most definitely a Mageblood reliant build, I think you give up too much damage otherwise), so I looked across all the flask mods including crafted ones and came across the reduced reflected damage flask mod. With this and flask effect, I have 110% reduced reflected damage taken, which is perfect for a Berserker since it completely negates Defy Pain's downside of taking reflected damage and also Aspect of Carnage's damage amplification of 10%.

At the same time I also wanted to play a build that uses Blitz for high attack speed to zoom clear guardian maps for Endgame Grinds. To still have high crit, I would need Brittle, much like the Lightning Strike Zerkers. I decided to use Leadership's Price instead of Secrets of Suffering since Scorch and Sap are so strong as well. I thought about skill compatibility and immediately Elemental Hit came to mind due to its more damage per ailment on target modifier. This was perfect, since I need Avatar of Fire due to using my amulet slot (hence no Xoph's Blood) which is conveniently next to Marauder's start, and the conflux provided from Leadership's Price meant that my pure fire build would still apply all 3 alternate ailments.

Then Kirac's Vault came out and I wanted to use the Paradoxica skin, so I went with a melee version, and here we are. It's pretty tanky because of 83% on all elemental resists, 23% Fortify and 20% Sap. Also has nice clear speed because of high attack speed and added strike range on Ele Hit itself + the new eldritch glove implicit. Single target isn't the best though. For its budget, it's not an excellent build. I love the MTX though. Elemental Hit is a cool skill.

GV is for Immortal Ambition for overleech. Forbidden jewels for Chieftain's Tukohama, which is so insanely powerful for any melee build I don't know how it's so cheap. I literally lose 20m dps by not having it. Totems are also fairly easy to keep up. Incredible steroid that gives me 60% more and 50% increased attack speed from Ancestral Protector alone.
