Hey Lighty was wondering if you had any ideas to improve my Berserker build. I checked back today and saw you updated the Ascendancys. Turns out I didn't have Cloaked in Savagery so I fixed that. I just bought a coil as well figured it would be useful for Uber Lab and things like that. My character just doesn't feel tanky enough I feel like I have too many close calls or deaths from map bosses. A redditor told me about Enfeeble and Blasphemy, it seems to work decent but if there is something you'd recommend I use I'm all for it that goes for any skills, like the warlords mark, enduring cry, golem, etc or changing Auras.

My end game goal is to beat the shaper just want to make sure I'm on the right path I just started getting red maps today so I still have sometime. Thanks for the build!

Ey Lighty! Im following your guide to build my cyclone marauder. At this moment level 50 with 5,5k in a 5L Cyclone and 5,6k in a 4L Ancestral Warchief. But... I have doubts about the ascendancy that I should take... I think Berserk, but I dont know if Juggernaut... What should I do?

Planning use Hezmana's bloodlast cuz I havent enough currency to buy Disfavour. I want to try Atziri with this and run good maps or uber lab if I can. Should I take in merciless Endurance charge and how can I proc this charge if I take berserk?

I hope you can answer my questions, ty! :)

I went axes and currently using Hezmana. With perma Fortify (Champ ascendency) and Blood Magic from Hezmana, I have 2 sockets in my 6-link to change around. Currently using Endu charge on stun and Item rarity on them. Build is super fun and clears maps super fast too!

I have noticed though that Vengeance seems to proc less while using Cyclone? I've no data to back it up but it seems to proc all the time on my Max block Gladiator back in Prophecy. Looking to replace my Veng+CoH setup with an Ancient Warchief setup.

As for gear, I'm saving up for a 6-link Lightning Coil. This is the a good next step right?
Still struggling to survive those spikes at 87:

Gear:

I have put life on every slot, and taken most of the more defensive passives for leech and health pool:

Trying to get into red maps, I can do some but i usually still hear the savage hit sound and see my hp drop to 10-20%. I stand at 6.2k with HoA reservation.

Should I focus on getting a Brass Dome instead? It does not feel like the Kaom's heart hp buff (1.6k ish) is worth losing the slots and armor for.
Hey thanks so much for this. This really helps a new person like me out a lot. I like it very much. I can'T afford any of this gear, so I am doing slightly differently so far. I use Blasphemy and Warlord's Mark because I don't have unflinching yet and need those Endurance charges! And I don't know how to get those Vaal gems working right either...
I just want to ask three naive questions, sorry in advance for not knowing all the stuff, I'm no pro.
1. Since you go Rampart and take particular care to have Fortify up all the time, why do you not like Unyielding as the Juggernaut's choice? (I'm a Juggernaut now and wanting to take it...)
2. You say this build works in principle for any 2h melee skill -- so in principle, I could switch out Cyclone and use ... Earthquake?
3. IC seems so short for me, even with my little Increased Duration. Would it be stupid of me to swap in something else, becauve having lots of Endurance charges itself is kind of nice instead of spending them on a few milliseconds of IC?

thank you!

1) Double chest armour is A LOT. Especially if you save up for a Brass Dome
Unstoppable is a good choice to up the speed on maps (especially on those irritating frozen ground)
Given your endurance charges come in almost every few seconds, your IC will be very long. Long enough to not bother about fortify

2)Yeah, just remember to swap the gems out. You might want shorter duration and aoe gems with EQ

3)Your IC might be still low because of your current endurance charges cap, the increased duration gem really helps in the long run, I can assure you that.

You seem to be lacking dps if anything, you also dont want the extra leech node in hematophagy. Your next upgrade should be Disfavour as more weapon range and dps is its own form of defense for melee, the faster you kill things the less likely those things will hit you. You may also want to get more jewel sockets and you should need some mana leech if your going blasphemy + hatred (which is fine), possibly on 2 jewels shouldn't be expensive.

I would suggest berserker, juggernaut isn't in the best spot atm but you gain endurance charges from either casting enduring cry, endurance charge on melee stun + vengeance/leap slam or warlords mark curse. Dont take the extra endurance charge unless juggernaut, either take the passive or the frenzy charge if your gona focus on mapping since your using bloodrage. In general berserker will make atziri easier giving you a nice dps boost and cloaked in savagery is effectively an "oh shit" mechanic when you take medium damage.

Yeah 6l coil is a fine investment, you may just be killing things to fast that vengeance wont proc since there not hitting you to trigger it; also keep in mind its when hit so many things wont trigger it
