Hey guys, this is my first build of the league and I just finished all the invitations yesterday. The story of this build is I was looking for some kind of mix between a boss killer and a curse support for my group. However, as it turned out, this build is very much functional on its own. The essential items are badge and void battery. We generate frenzy charges through the new mark mastery (and for mapping through ice bite support), although it needs some ramp up for bosses as you can see in the video where I'm losing my frenzy charges in between phases. You could bypass that by using a farrul's fur. I decided not to do that because I prefer the 100% spell suppression, same as with the shield that could be replaced with a second void battery for even more damage. Imo the damage is plenty already and survivability is nice for mapping and bossing alike.

All in all the build is nothing too special in terms of the badge/VB combo, that has been done often times before. The cold conversion however is interesting as it allows us to use double damage curses in ele weakness and frostbite and more importantly abhorrent interrogation which has almost no downtime due to the frequency of hits that BF and BB do. To touch on the forbidden jewels, those are absolutely not necessary, the build had plenty of dps and aoe before I added those.

As for the mapping, I can upload some footage of that as well if you are interested :)
