PoE Bear's Girdle builds

So I started with Cleave of Rage until I had enough currency to get set up to run this. CHAIN HOOK My gear is total dogwater and I've spent less than 40c altogether. All I did was slot out Cleave and sub in Chain Hook/Rage Vortex of Berserking. I'm only in yellows but progressing steadily, chain hook lets you zip around easily and RV/Berserk is plenty of DPS so far. I hate bossing just comfy mapping. Surprising after the swap I was faster than my Cleave build Any advice on how to keep progressing the build? So far I am just building like the other cleave builds

IDK, i was bored so put this together in pob. Pretty respectable, and maybe even red map viable.

Despite the title, this is not hardcore viable, but has been working for me in softcore. I've only made it to yellow maps but I'm confident in its ability to scale: &x200B; The game is to combine Petrified Blood, The Golden Rule, The Tainted Pact and Strength of Blood for absurd defenses and recovery. Petrified Blood gives us overleech, Tainted Pact gives us chaos damage over time as life recovery instead of damage, The Golden Rule gives us poison reflect onto ourselves for the Tainted Pact recovery. And, since we have something o

wicked ward + eternal youth combo doesnt show in pob, but with the helmet implicit, you regenerate 25% of life per second. 33.33 (Base ES regen) 1.25 (helm implicit) 0.60 (wicked ward) = 24.9975) budget: 33 div without amulet.

The build : Pretty happy how this turned out. Effectively being the hipster that I am I can't just take Berserker Rage Vortex without wanting to do at least something new and the Voidforge made it easy as am sure most people did it. I did decide to go with Ascendant mainly cause there were some interesting synergies that make it hard for the Berserker to do that looked fun to optimize even if you don't get to abuse the Berserker's More ascendancy traits. Budget at the moment is around 10\~ div What do we have going for us?

Hey Exile, I'm tinkering around with a build idea: Initially, I wanted to make the new Varunastra + Rigwald's Axe work but the damage just isn't there and PoB recommended using Wings of Entropy instead. Now the build is moderately tanky, 5k life, 11k max hit phys, 25k max hit elemental and 2.7k life leech on hit, and the damage also looks all right (\~4k million) all this without berserk/anc. totem/molten shell. Any ideas on how to improve it? :-)
