[2.2 Video Guide] Tanky, High DPS, Crit Blade Vortex Build [HC/SC & Atziri Viable]

I just ran a un id'd corrupted onslaught t12 village ruin, map was fine but stonebeak.....rip. Chilled patches of ground plus onslaught makes it really hard to stay outta vaal rain of arrows.

How safe is this build? Also would this chest be a good replacement to the Lightning Coil?

I run this build with

3pts assasin (for powercharges) & Berzerker (3 pts) this gives me place for bloodrage + increased duration instead of powercharge on crit in one weapon

i dont have any sockets yet but with the frenzys up im at 13,5k dps
their is so much potenzial and dmg left

I did try the recommended ascendancies but ended up going with 3pt to Slayer and 3pt to Assassin instead, Assassin because I'm lazy and I didn't want to run another BV for power charges, whilst the optimal dmg output would probably be significantly boosted with Pathfinder, I'm not a flask clicker and it's not my style of play.
I found I dealt enough damage with creatures and was leeching enough life to give up Berserker, the only issues I had were with uniques taking a bit long to die but Slayer sped that up quite a bit.

It's also worth noting that I killed Atziri with Slayer and Assassin and have been breezing through T12-T13 maps, haven't tried the other ones yet and I had to be careful with some uniques in the unique maps, otherwise this has been a great build to play.

What Gloves and Boots enchantment for this build?

Hi all im taking some big hits.. not quite sure what im doing wrong but i definetely dont feel "tanky" yet. Is it really lightning coil based?

Also i haven't ascended.

Thinking of going Berserker and Assassin. Thoughts?

Spoiler

Lightning Coil and Taste of Hate makes a SIGNIFICANT difference yes - get them asap! :)

I absolutely love this build. At first I just followed the build with lightning coil and pathfinder. After reading some comments I tried to experiment a bit aswell and found that with carcass jack 5L and assassin instead of pathfinder the clear speed goes up by a lot. I am just unsure what to do with the leftover sockets from the extra blade-vortex setup for power charges (as I now gain them from assassin ascendency) Anyone has any tips for a nice setup there?

Excellent build!

And bro.... do you even blend? :)

A second CWDT set-up works wonders; Rallying Cry; 1-2 Vaal hastes. Pick and choose really.
