To be clear: I've been doing this in Harb independently. A guildie mentioned that someone in the forums had a similar build, so I looked you up. You can look at my setup by importing on PoB - my profile's public.

You should get TCoH gloves. It'll be lower than 20/20, but still pretty good, and frees up the decay slot.

And yeah, the damage is lackluster compared to other stuff (the build I regretted from used to kill bosses in seconds with over 1.5m Shaper DPS), but it doesn't have the mana issues of self-cast and the AOE is actually pretty strong.

I think my PoB damage is within 10% of yours by giving up jewel nodes for dodge.

Also, I think you misread what I said about mana. The mod is "x% damage taken gained as mana when hit". So it helps with mana regain after a hit and ensures you're never oom.

Hello broski !

I made a quick video of a Gorge map with pretty mean mods & a cool beyond fight to showcase your build !

I will try to get some footages of T15 / T16 / T17 next !

The build is still fun as ever ! Thanks again broski !

I tried playing around with this build as a Shadow Trickster and going hybrid (especially because of Patient Reaper),thus relying on high life regen + Warlords for casting Dark Pact on life and getting some ES as a buffer.

But it seems like Berserker is the only way to go (especially self cast),which is quite a shame.You cant sustain your ES pool constantly and the damage you take always ends up hitting your life.

High life regen may work on a cwc blight build due to the relative low casts per second of dark pact. However it is suboptimal as far as sustainability is concerned. Sorry that you were put in a fix!

Yeah what was interesting was how you could easily sustain the increased mana cost from items like Voidbringer and Apep's Rage with Cast On Channeling Blight,whereas it would have been a problem if you were self casting DP.

Tried the unique hybrid belt but you always need the leech on your life pool so it barely gets used on your ES.Plus Vaal Pact doesn't work on the ES part so would just completely waste your life regen and belt slot.

I might just give in and do it the normal Marauder Berserk way,since its much safer and straightforward.
