Haha, true. Vendor trash then, for sure :)

"a) Arakaali + Queen of the Great Tangle
50% increased ES recovery is awesome for tanking. 3 frenzy charges are good for clear speed."


What are the frenzy charges from?

Blood Rage.

I offer 1C for that belt. :)

Oh duh, that sounds very useful for mapping. Is that by far the best choice?

For generating Frenzy Charges, yes. Do beware tho, that this is still a kinda hefty degen. If you can regen/leech it (which you easily should be able to), it is worth it while mapping.

At end game we have enough ES regen from tree nodes + Soul of Tukohama Pantheon (when not moving) to counter balance the physical degen caused by Blood Rage. 12% more damage from 3x Frenzy Charges is a serious damage buff and don't forget 12% cast speed (improves Winter Orb, Frost Bomb, Flame Dash) and attack speed (improves Vigilant Strike) also.

Last league when Zealot Oath wasn't working with Vaal Pact, we couldn't bypass Blood Rage degen while not leeching so many opted not to use it. But now is kind a very good option for our build.

I only used Blood Rage last league for a while before removing it since I didn't like the degen. I'm only Lv 85 in the new league with crappy gear and this time BR is AWESOME. The degen is not an issue as the regen really helps and if it ever gets problematic I just pop a Sulphur flask and by by degen. And I haven't unlocked the Soul of Tukohama Pantheon yet either.

The only place it can be a pain is while delving...so I remove BR while I'm doing delves and problem solved. I might put it back while delving if I can get my hands on a Watcher's Eye with ES gain on hit but they are a bit out of my price range at the moment.

Finally switched to dual WI staffs...clear speed is insane with only a 4L and bosses just melt with my single target setup:



I'm not a fan of new league stuff but am enjoying the hell out of this build again.
