Rage Vortex is a powerful melee attack skill that unleashes a devastating storm of rage, dealing damage in an area for a short period. This skill requires at least 10 rage to use, and if you have enough rage, it sacrifices some of it to send the storm forward. Welcome to guide on building a Rage Vortex Berserker in Path of Exile's Crucible expansion. This Poe 3.21 build is centered around the Voidforge weapon, which was buffed in 3.2.0, giving it 700% extra elemental damage and 50% more physical damage. The new weapons skill trees in the Crucible also give it a lot of potential.

PlayStyle

The core idea of this build is to use the Berserker ascendancy to gain rage with War Bringer and Redblade Banner and then unleash it with Rage Vortex as your primary damage skill. Blade Storm is also useful for generating rage and can be used while mapping or killing bosses.

 

Skill Tree

The skill tree for this build focuses on gaining maximum rage, life regeneration, and damage. You should aim for nodes that give you physical damage, increased maximum life, and rage, such as Berserk Girdle. You can also use the helmet enchantment with 5% additional rage to get up to 90 maximum rage. This is an important part of the build as it will allow you to maintain a long uptime on Berserk and have enough rage to release massive rage vortexes.

 

Gear

The build utilizes other items such as the Belly of the Beast, which gives you extra life, and Voidforge, which gives you additional elemental damage. The Interrogation Jewel is also valuable as it allows you to alternate between the elements and inflict scorch, brittle, and sap instead of freeze, shock, and ignite.

 

Leveling

To begin the league, you may level with Ground Slam or Sunder, but once you hit level 28, you can switch to Rage Vortex. To make it viable, you need to get Redblade Banner, which should cost around 5-10 chaos. This will give you infinite power for War Cry, allowing you to get full rage instantly.

The next item you should aim for is the Kaom's Spirit gloves, which will give you a lot of extra rage and make Rage Vortex more reliable. It has a level requirement of 69, so you may need to wait a few days before you can get it, but it should be relatively cheap.

 

Ascendancy

Finally, this build should be used in combination with the Witch Ascendancy to gain more life and damage. This will help you survive the tougher content and allow you to clear maps faster.

 

Conclusion

Overall, the Rage Vortex build is a versatile and powerful build that can be used to easily and quickly clear content. With the right combination of items and skills, you can take full advantage of the Rage mechanic and have a powerful and fun build that will carry you through the toughest content. So, give it a try and have fun with your Rage Vortex Berserker in Path of Exile's Crucible expansion!
