DPS is somewhere in the 2-6m range depending on double hit mechanics, and without molten shell, you're at a 12-13k phys max hit, and 30-35k ele. With it procced, thats up to 18k/56k. And you heal stupidly fast due to having 12+ APS with 30% instant leech.

Merc provides pride, perquil's toe, cull, and blood price, which isn't factored into the POB. This is roughly doubling your damage, more then offsetting the extra hp they give things.

Using faster curse expiry to keep full soul eater stacks for attack speed, which combines with instant leech to give a crazy amount of healing. Then doing the typical berserker flicker things of ancestral fury + hydrosphere to hit a bunch.

It can have issues with frenzy sustain on enemies that move a lot, that would be partially fixed by anointing +1 curse and running a qualitied poacher's mark, but I want to transition to crit with a staff soon, so I haven't bothered.

Eventually I want to go staff crit, and get trauma support in there to scale off the ungodly attack speed. That would also let me automate the curse for soul eater, and the hydrosphere for more consistent damage.
