↖ Gear Breakdown

• Budget-Friendly Might: Only about two Divines invested!
• Weapon Choice: Snagged a sword with physical damage and impale chance, plus T1 attack speed. Just added some Fizz – it's a beast.
• Armor and Accessories: Nothing fancy. A dropped helmet with AOE crafting, a chaos-res amulet, and a six-link chest bought for 15c. Budget-friendly and effective!

 

 

↖ Key Build Elements

• Rigwald's Savagery: First thing you should grab – cheap and effective.
• Cleave of Rage: Ensure 20% quality for that sweet rage generation.
• Jewels and Passives: Focused on life, impale chance, attack speed, and a bit of Mana leech from the cluster.

 

↖ Skill Gems and Links

• Rage Vortex Setup: Four-link with Rage Vortex, Rage, Brutality, and Pulverize.
• Multistrike's Importance: Despite not generating rage on repeats, it's a game-changer for attack speed.
• Cleave's Area Coverage: No need for extra area from Pulverize; Cleave’s range is already massive.

 

↖ Survivability and Recovery

• Resistances and Armor: Boasting 80 all-res and nearly capped chaos res, plus 17K armor.
• Leech Mechanics: Thanks to Defiance and the leech wheel, the instant and maximum leech is through the roof.
• Right of Ruin: Not using Berserk, so Deen from Right of Ruin is manageable with enduring cry's cooldown.

 

↖ Flask Choices and Tincture Benefits

• Flask Recommendations: A silver and a granite flask, for constant uptime thanks to adjacent tincture effect.
• Suffixes are Key: Look for attack speed, curse reduction, or extra armor.

 

↖ Mapping and Quality of Life

• Tech Evil Node: Shows pack icons on the map, even in the forest! Huge quality of life boost.
• Handling Tough Map Mods: Can do no regen maps, but avoid Fizz reflect and no leech.
