A quick showcase of DPS against Cortex.

Build Mechanics
No Fleshcrafter because I don't like it being mandatory for elemental scaling.
Iron Mass is the mandatory unique weapon, it makes the bois look cool with giant shiny mtx sword.
The physcal dmg isn't important, aim for the highest attack speed because the skeleton's based attack speed is based on the weapon.
The concept is simple, scale with as many flat added damage to minions as possible with ghastly abyss jewels.
Choose Guardian, because you can have all 3 Elemental Relics that give Hatred, Anger and Wrath auras for free.
Because of using Utula's Hunger chest piece, other gear slots became more flexible and opens up with more alternatives without stressing on getting more life.
For some reason PoB disabled the chest, Eternal Struggle amulet and Legacy of Fury are working as intended with Utula's Hunger because their modifier tags are unique, not life.
No spectres or animate guardian because they die easily unless you invest a lot into your gears or skill points to keep them alive.
Stone golem is used to semi-automate the exposures on enemies.
Last but not least, using Triad Grip to fully convert the physical damage because this is a bad build.
Source of elemental resist reduction/penetration:
Elemental Weakness = -33% with 20/20
Scorch with Legacy of Fury boots = -15% (with max rolled scorch effect)
Archdemon Crown (ritual helm) = -10% (all fire, cold and lightning exposures are applied)
Minion Offence Mastery = -8%
Anomalous Predator Support = -4%
Tattoos
Loyalty Tattoo of Kiloava gives recovery on block against unique enemies.
Honoured Tattoo of the Berserker gives onslaught for 4s on hit.
Other tattoos just to fix resists, stats and curse reduction.
