Trypanon viable?

Hey guys,

I'm a sucker for off-meta builds and love theorycrafting. I have doodled around with Trypanon in PoB and came up with this:

Anyone care to share thoughts on this? Basic mechanics are:

Power charge generation:

1) Assassin ascendancy offers 10% on crit, 20% on not-crit
2) CWDT with Ball Lightning and GMP

Frenzy charge generation:

The Red Trail + The Golden Rule for 1 Frenzy per hit. I don't know how well inflicting bleeds with Cyclone alone works, so this is one part where I'd love to hear feedback.

Damage is spread with Cast on Critical Strike + Discharge for rapid AoE damage. Choir of the Storm adds extra single target with Lightning Strikes triggering whenever the character crits.

Gift from Above gives 50% extra damage and creates lots of Consecrated Ground to move on.

Doryani's and Vinktar's for leech.

Build uses MoM, effective health should be around 5.75k the way I pathed the build right now.

Thoughts?

Marylene's Fallacy

Crits already have culling strike due to Assassin ascendancy

It's mostly about the +200% crit mult, combined with no penalty while using it with Trypanon.

You need 1 bleed node from the tree for it to work. I sustain perfectly my flicker just with bloodletting wheel, I even unspecced my frenzy charges (other nodes had more dps) and i'm still full frenzy all the time.

But you're gonna kill yourself, like hard... I have 99% phys to ele conversion and the pantheon to not get poisoned. Without that you'll die from your own hits. You should probably just get blood rage and maybe poacher's mark.

The most important problem a lot of people here seem to forget about is accuracy. You only have a 56% chance to even hit enemies with that setup. I mean, sure, you always crit, so the accuracy confirmation roll for crits that's normally needed falls away completely, but it's still only a 56% chance to hit.
To be perfectly honest: I wouldn't take my chances with that weapon if I were you. You can look through my characters, I have a ton of totally whacky stuff myself, but even I do not dare approach that thing.
Even with some pretty good setup, like marylene's and abyssus on a champion to avoid accuracy problems, I couldn't get any decent numbers.
The CoC idea is pretty good, not gonna lie, but I don't think it could work with the setup you thought up. Another personal recommendation: romira's.

Hits that allways hit or crit cant do non crit or even miss. That means, you allways crit, that is a difference to 95% chance to crit, where accuracy do play a role.

In this case Typhanon is similar to resolute technic where you not allways hit, instead you allways crit.
