Onslaught Vaal Berserker (Theorycraft) Looking for suggestions

This is sort of a "dream" build of mine.

LINK: https://www.poebuilder.com/builds/Shakashin-vaal-berserker


Its very very niche and would need a crazy amount of currency to make it a reality...

I'm looking for suggestion or opinions on it.

The premise revolves around getting alot of atk speed from the Onslaught modifiers

Main Skill: HS + FA + CritC + MPD + MeleeS + BM

Auras: Grace + Haste + Vaal Haste

Gear:

Weapon: Kongor's Undying Rage

Helm: Starkonja's Head

Body: Daresso's Defiance

Gloves: Vaal Caress

Boots: Kaom's Roots

Ring: Death rush / FREE SLOT

Belt: Doryani's Invitation PHYS

Amulet: Carnage Heart

Thank you in advance for any input on this build !

I don't like spending so many points for Endurance charges.
Either lead your path next to them, or ignore them. For the Templar and Duelist charge, you are investing 3 skill points each.

I'd also boost the crit chance a bit. There's a pretty good 2h crit cluster at templar.

And don't take so many resist nodes. Resists should be covered with gear.

I'd go for a tree like this:
Click me
Couple more points than yours, but if it is a "dream build" of yours, you can certainly level it higher than your Lvl70 tree. ;)

Yes I like your tree ty so much for pointing these out !

Of course I could level it higher its just the core build :)

For the resists its because the uniques items dont give me much in total and I have one ring slot left. So they are best covered by passives . But since I get so many endurance charges the resist gap could somewhat be covered by that also idk.

ty for your input!
That's another thing I forgot to mention in my previous post:
I'd say most of your Uniques are not mandatory at all.
It's not the best idea to go for Uniques in each and every slot, as most don't have life and/or high resists.



Axe - build defining, has to stay.

Starkonja's Head - actually a pretty bad helmet. Grab a rare.

Doryani's physical belt - grab a rustic sash wwith a life roll, armor and resists.
This Unique doesn't do too much for you.

Death Rush - nice ring.

Daresso's Defiance, Vaal Caress - don't like them too much. Yes, they provide more Onslaught sources, but I'd rather go for life/resist rares.

Kaom's Roots - no movespeed, no resists. If you want to have Unwavering Stance, take it in the tree. You're right next to it, there's literally no point using these boots.

Carnage Heart - sure, why not?



It seems to me you grabbed each and every Onslaught Unique, and then added some other Uniques you like, but that's just too much.
You don't need all Onslaught Uniques, one should be enough. And you shouldn't use only Uniques, mix them up with rares.

Especially gloves, helmet, belt and boots can be easily replaced with way better rares.

yeah I totally get your point. You are probably right,
also I'm missing some more crit chance this way.

I managed to get the daresso(5 link :)) the ring and the maul ! playing on invasion.
They are not perfectly rolled tho.

I don't mind if die, anyway the leagues are almost over.

The good thing is I may be able to test much sooner than expected ! :D
the belt is totally optional the starkonja's head too they just fit the general theme.

this is certainly more of a theme build than a cookie cutter

leveling the marauder with facebreaker as been a total blast I highly recommend doing this !!!

punching devourers to the face is so god damn satisfying :3

thank you again for the input !

the vaal caress is because I have an empower gem level 2 so in theory I can squeeze +4 level to vaal haste.

on a side note: one thing I do have is a six linked carcass jack.
