Caedei's Notes
I play melee almost every league and this build (I played this in Settlers/3.25) was probably the most fun I had with it, even more than when I did Lacerate on the old busted Gladiator tree. I saw the weapon was getting buffed so I figured I'd throw it out there for anyone still looking for a build to play.
From the 3.26 patch notes:
The Replica Wings of Entropy Unique Two Handed Axe now has 50-100% more Main Hand Attack Speed (previously 50-70%) and +10-20% to Off Hand Critical Strike Chance (previously 8-10%). Existing items can be updated using a Divine Orb.
Weapon is already cracked for this build, the buffs look very nice on top of that. It's basically all you need to start rolling, so I would think it's this build is pretty SSF-friendly.
This is my PoB that I ended Settlers with: https://pobb.in/e33BgzD4GrUP
Honestly felt like it was still pretty scuffed, I was having a good time just crafting but eventually got bored missing all my double corrupts. But it was very strong, T17s were a breeze. Here is a scuffed T17 run thru: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSqsB8gKIYs
I started originally with this thread, so credit to this guy: https://redd.it/1ej2jbr
They have an under-1-div PoB in the thread, which is roughly where I started: https://pobb.in/u/PaintMaster/9QdBYIyQWhzY
