- Tanky AF
- Decent DPS & near 100% uptime
- Clears fast with Shield Charge 4L. Lacerate only rares
- passive endurance charge generation with body

- degen bad
- mid range, can be annoying on some bosses like Sirus
- "monster phys dmg res" mod is annoying but you can use Poacher's Mark and Crush

- 4-5 divs weapon (lucky crafted with 30c)
- 1div shield (crafted for 40c)
- 2 div body
- 1.2div ryslatha
- 1.5 div ashes
- 5c circle of guilt
- 1 div helmet/ring/boots
- Cluster jewel 35c, others 10c each
- Not necessary but very nice for Crush on hit: Awakened Brutality LEVEL 1 UNCORRUPTED 120c + 4x20c for Wild Brambleback beasts to level it up. You save a divine instead of buying directly level 5

- not speccing Jagged Technique unless you run the Venopuncture + Tempest Rising combo (I don't, explained in the orange spoiler below). You need to aggravate non-Crimson Dance Bleeds and you have a short time to do it.

- don't use Deadly Ailments, PoB might tell you to for DPS but it kills your on-hit damage which is important for Fortify, Cruelty, (maybe leech) and other similar effects.

Clear with Shield Charge 4L. Lacerate only things that didn't die. For the damage of shield charge, you need a shield with high armour, or high evasion, or high hybrid armor eva

Lacerate with Multistrike for clearing, Cruelty for hard bosses (pinnacle etc).

If you run a lot of Simulacrum, T17, and invites swap Vulnerability for Poacher's Mark (linked with Mark on Hit). It helps a lot with "monster physical damage resistance" (which you should avoid rolling when possible).

My favorite strats are alch'n'go/low-investmnent Blight encounters and pinnacle Maven invitations (elderslayers, guardians etc). The build moves very fast and facetanks most of it. I'm not a huge juicer or simulacrum enjoyer so I can not talk much about that.

Farrul's Pounce + aspect of the cat = alternate between Crimson Dance and not. Crimson Dance & regular Bleed are considered different by the game so they stack on one enemy. You need a socket for less duration so craft it on an armour piece or unset ring

You can include Farrul's Fur but it gets pricey to fix resistances so I didn't, maybe later. We would also need to go Enduring Cry for charges

Ashes of the star = big boost with Lacerate of Haemorrhage quality (and level ofc).

Circle of Guilt = helps running Herald of Purity when you add in Aspect of the Cat without Farrul's Fur. HoP with Guilt is a 25% damage boost and they also tank some hits during bosses.

I don't use Venopuncture + Tempest Rising, I don't find War of Attrition and Weapon Master good.

Not currently using awakened gems or unique jewels, but a watcher's eye (pride, determination, vitality, ...) is always welcome.
