aer0's Rage-Stacking Perforate Berserker

First post! Hey everyone, for those who aren't familiar, I'm aer0, and I make content on youtube and twitch. My favorite thing to do in PoE is create off meta builds that take advantage of underutilized items, mechanics and skills.

This character began as a chain hook rage-stacker, as with huge amounts of rage you can get absurd base radius on chain hook from the gem and helm enchant (over 100 aoe on PoB, well off the screen). It was fun, and it actually was really good, but chain hook feels SO bad (even when its good). I decided to take this fairly cheap archetype and test some other skills. The result was that a BUNCH of skills felt really good. Ultimately I settled on perforate, as its great for mapping and has a blood stance mode that effectively gives you 4x damage. With the unbreakable ascendancy node from the forbidden jewels, we become essentially unkillable while mapping!

This is NOT a bosser, but excels at bosses than give you some time to get to max rage (guardian bosses). I farmed a lot of my maven invitation maps with this build for the EGG challenge.

With only a few items and points on the tree, we reach 125 rage. This gives us:

375% attack damage

186% attack speed

75% movement speed

84% increased physical damage

Stun Immunity

Enemies are Crushed

There's a ton more than can be done with this archetype, and I'd love to explore rage stacking further. This is even a league start viable archetype. You can get all 3 mandatory items for less than 20c on day 2-3 (per poeninja prices). When I start league start testing in a few weeks, this will be on the list.

Cheers!
