ouroboros_winding's Notes
Dumped a ton of end of the league currency into this one and was very underwhelmed by the results. Idea was supposed to be similar to https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/1578ohd/spellblade_champion_ft_kitavas_thirst_and_the/ except on a Berserker, using the added physical damage when crit and access to attack speed.
It is terrible for the investment, can't even clear T16. Neither the damage nor the tankiness is there. And I don't exactly see why? It seems like the scaling should be there in theory - Berserker attacks fast to spend mana quickly with Prismatic Burst--Archmage and the Legion Sword--Archmage. This should frequently trigger Absolution in Kitava's Thirst, which is also boosted by Berserker added physical damage on crits. Then since we need a lot of mana to be able to spend 100 mana over and over again, keep a large portion of mana unreserved and use MoM + Agnostic which should be a strong defensive layer with all the mana regen I also have. In my head this all made sense but clearly I am missing something.
