Questions

Why Bringer and not Abyssus?
. A Berserker with bringer has more dps than a Jugger with abyssus.
. We go dodge + blind with %Physical Mitigation.
. Bringer has more life than a rare chest.
. Cheap.

Why Berserker and not Jugger?
. A bringer with Berserker has more dps than a bringer with Juggernaut.
. We go dodge + blind with %Physical Mitigation.
. Mana leech is sex.
. Deeps.

Why do I use Dodge instead of IR?
This debate has been going on for some time. I prefer doge due to being able to synegise with blind and savagery. If you are getting chunked 2 times in a row with a blinded foe while having Savagery Leech and Immortal Call, you might need to stop killing Kuduku and Kadaka and earn some Karma.

Why frenzy?
. More deeps
. And Bloodrage
. Something something double dip

Why Poison and not Added Fire?
. Poison damage gets multiplied by Carnage, Frenzy, Less Duration, Concentrated Effect.
. Final effectiveness is better than Added Fire.

Why no crafted life on gear?
. The build does fine without much life on gear as 1000 strength gives you +500 to maximum life. btw, please craft life on gear is possible.

My build has 1500 strength but my dps sucks, why?
. Get more "Adds x - x Physical Damage to Attacks" on your jewellery.

How do you cap resistances?
. Get it from Marauder's Diamond Skin or Duelist's Cloth and Chain or Ranger's Survivalist.

Specs for techs with 1000 strength
. 190% Maximum Life
. +600 to Maximum Life
. 1800% Increased Pillar Damage
. 59% -> 109% Attack Speed

What are your thoughts on Voidheart? You lose phys dps, but gain bleeding and another gem slot in the helmet.

Yes, Voidheart is also a viable option for the build. But you will really need good, and by good, i mean almost GG rings to supplement the loss of resistance from one ring.

You have only 4 pieces of gear to work on, out of which 1 suffix is used for +40-50 Strength.
Which leaves you effectively 7 suffix slots to cap resist.
(8 if you are not going to roll +All Attributes on Amulet)

If you are going voidheart variant, I'll advice to swap out Poison with Rapid Decay. This is to even out the loss of damage from Physical hits by compensating with the Damage over Time.

To effectively use voidheart, there will be other builds to do so.

(TLDR)
So to answer your question:
- Good for packs
- Bad for Boss
- Need High-Tier Resist on Jewellery/Jewels/Tree
- Overall, Not really recommended, But yeah, go ahead, its still fun/viable!

RT is a necessity for the build. For Vaal Pact, it's for your playstyle.

I'm quite a scrub at dodging traps in Labyrinth.

But yeah, VP is really good for bosses with lots of damage(over-time) like Plaza-Boss.

It's good, I would recommend if you are able to manage your life-pool efficiently.(Toggling of Bloodrage and stuffs).
