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 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 tan

No MoM, instead stacking reduced cost of skills to bring manabond cost down to zero, then permanently having 0 mana via Shavronne's Revelation + a Manastorm shield weapon swap.

Basic premise is to soft-stack Intelligence, since it will in turn increase mana and Energy Shield, then use the % extra mana as Energy Shield, % increased spell damage per Int, and % increased spell damage per Mana, to have a large amount of synergistic damage scaling with Energy Blade + Battlemage, Archmage, and Arcane Cloak. All this extra Lightning damage gets added to Ice Spears and converted to cold thanks to Call of the Brotherhood. Ice Spears will basically always crit thanks to Inquisitor + a few crit nodes.
