[3.14] Wild Strike Trinity Berserker [40+mil dps]

UPDATES
07/05/2 - added 62mil dps current setup

I really liked my previous tectonic slam berserker in delirium league, and been playing spell builds since then.

but i wanted to try out a melee build with really good clear like tectonic slam before rework, so i made a wildstrike build.

Pros
+ Cheap / League start
+ Scale very well with gear
+ Clears whole screen
+ Basically one button play

Cons
- Abyssus
- Melee
- weak against big hits

DEFENSE
This build uses many different defensive layers to counter Aspect of Carnage and Abyssus.

this build utilises
5 Endurance charges
Fortify
Berserk
Molten Shell (Lv20)
90% physical damage reduction
20k+ armour
Petrified Blood
Aspect of the Spider


EHP with molten shell is 56k and 20k without molten shell
it is hard to achieve such high ehp with petrified blood low-life.

I can greatly increase dps if i drop some defensive nodes, but i focused on getting as high EHP as possible.

#This build can use any attack damage type, so any elemental damage to attck mods are good to utilise in this build as if scales with trinity support.

Gear

Weapon


any rare sword with high dps + as + crit as possible
dual ichimonji is good to start the build
# Note if your running Dual Ichimonji, get a corrupted one with fortify on hit implicit
voidforge is also good if you have 6L body armour since you dont need 6L voidforge
or

would be the best in slot gear

Offhand


Redblade Banner is cheap, and grants QoL with infinite warcry power

chest


Any generic body armour is fine. attack crit, mana cost, explody chests are good QoL. Keep in mind tho there's no real way to generate frenzy charges on single boss fight other than anomalous blood rage, and no way to generate power charge. so i find frenzy + power charge generate very good for damage boost.

amulet


replica hyrri is the best amulet for this build. but its 1ex+ so if you cant afford it, normal hyrri is enough to start the build

Helm

There is no other helmet grants similar dps as abyssus. best enchant would be "berserk has 40% reduced rage loss per second" since you can have very high uptime on berserk

Belt


Ryslatha grants most dps. However, you can use Belt of the Deceiver as its only about 8% dps difference and also it grants up to 30% to all resistances with corrupt

other

one ring with curse. if you have assassin's mark shaper ring, other ring should be mark of the elder. otherwise you can use

as it grants similar dps increase as mark of the elder ring

Strike skills target # additional nearby enemy is very good QoL. my next upgrade would be 2 additional enemies.

any generic boots with high life/res/ms is good enough, tailwind grants most dps increase with boots so try to have tailwind whenever possible

flasks


Lion's roar, taste of hate is very good for both offense and defense,
and a diamond flask and last one should be either basalt flask, cinder or bottled faith

Jewels


cluster jewel with leech life/mana, and another jewel should be elemental cluster with exposure on hit

Watcher's eye with hatred mod. critchance, cold pen and added cold damage is best
mods.

No need for increased maximum life as we're lowlife, which means 5% life don't increase ehp as it would on normal builds



GEMS

6L - WS - Trinity - Close Combat - Ruthless - Elemental Damage with Attacks - Multistrike
I tried using bloodthirst, but its not as reliable since we're not low life when we use life flask
4L - Second wind - Enduring Cry - Berserk - Molten Shell
4L - Multiple Totems - Ancestral Warchief - Ancestral Protector - Culling Strike
3L - Leap Slam - Fortify - Faster Attacks
3L - Arrogance - Precision - Herald of Ash
2L - Cwdt(1) - Ice golem(3)
1L - Petrified Blood

this is my current gem links, but you can adjust as you wish

For example, when i was running dual Ichimonji i ran
4L - Enlighten 3 - Herald of Purity - Herald of Ice - Precision
4L - Cwdt - Immortal call - Ice Golem - Frost Bomb
3L - Leap Slam - Faster Attacks - Blood Rage

For VoidForge (6L) and with Kaom's Heart
4L - Precision - Herald of Purity - Berserk - Enduring Cry
4L - Multiple Totems - Ancestral Warchief - Ancestral Protector - Blood Rage
4L - Leap Slam - Faster Attacks / Cwdt - Immortal Call

hello
you are missing in the guide the body armour recommendations and you flagged your video "as private"
thanks for the heads up, ive corrected problems
10ex PoB seems.. not so accurate, with 10ex I could barely purchase the cluster jewels, If I had to buy the other gear pieces that'd be like 10ex more, maybe I'm wrong but each jewel seems to go for 1ex to 2ex (Ultimatum Softcore)

Build looks very good otherwise, first time playing Wild Strike and having a lot of fun !

tbh those pob are basically records of my changes in gear/nodes. so no need to actually copy everything :) large clusters are the ones that matter, you can probably ignore medium clusters and follow other nodes in different pob

when i first started this build i bought 2 clusters for around 2ex each, and other jewels 20~50c each look for something like this

elemental damage cluster 2ex

attack damage cluster 0.5ex

Nice build! I was just wondering if you could help me with my current setup. I think I got every configuration on PoB right and followed the tree path but couldn't get to your kind of DPS.

dps difference commes from new gem setups and some gear

Gem
anomalous trinity 15% attack speed and anomalous bloodthirst 5% attack speed.
also awakened melee physical damage gives intimidate which is 10% dmg increase

Gear
