Cyndershade's Notes

Want to get to red maps with a 4 link and a budget so thin you could see through it, 7 figure dps for less than what you can find in your couch cushions?

Here's a PoB if you want to choose violence for cheap (You will need the 2.13(beta) to see it, my bad!)

  • Your total rage pool with no gimmicks is 75 here, you can get to this in ~18 seconds without marks or other tools.
  • Expect to be around ~1m dps without buffs like totems
  • Try to get vulnerability on rings or just attach it to a leap slam for bosses, or ignore it, doesn't matter
  • Your 50% aura is a choice between more violence (Pride aura) or more survivability and cowardice (Determination aura)
  • You probably want a soul tether, but you don't need it
  • With max rage, vaal ancestral warchief, maximum pride aura, blood rage and berserking on you will do a hair shy of 3m dps for about 15 seconds with no flasks or curse up
  • Steel rings pop here, all your slots are open to do w/e you want with though really, crit shines here as well. I generally try to shoot for a soul tether because between slayer lifeleech and blind you will already be tankier than you'd expect. Carnage heart works well too, or Daresso's if you're wanting a bit more radius. For anoints I do Panopticon or a crit node if you're going that way. I switch between Pride and Determination on and off depending on how I feel about damage intake, but it's pretty tough considering.
  • This formula also springs well into migrating the build to do bleed explosions if you're into that kind of thing, shockwave crit works here, you can do a fire elemental conversion and go herald of ash for faster clear etc.
  • Once you find yourself a 6l weapon you can throw a Bronn's in there or w/e chest piece you want and swap out the helm, from here you can scale into just about anything if you want to keep this build going. I usually run it to endgame and then start hoarding wealth to do TR or w/e nonsense meta build cheeses the whole game with little effort
