Is Frenzy skill viable as main attack?

I was thinking about making a pathfinder dualwield with frenzy skill and poison on hit from pathfinder passive.
I would probably get about 10 frenzy charges so it's 40% more damage
Does it make sense?

Frenzy isn't the greatest skill any more, but of course you can still make a build around it. Consider raider instead of pathfinder for melee frenzy, and use something like Cospri's will or even the poison gem for the poison on hit.
Face it, all of your suggestions are worse than this idea:

There is a helmet enchantment that further boosts your Frenzy damage per Frenzy charge. I'd imagine this would be essential to any build that uses Frenzy as a main attack skill.

If you are going to make a frenzy build then go for Snakebite, you get Poison, a lot more of AS and completely clear all your accuracy problems, while the reduced charge duration becomes irrelevant.

Raider is also a better choice for a frenzy user than a pathfinder.

In your tree pick that Survivalist node, max res is really powerful, and as a raider get Avatar of Slaughter and Avatar of the Veil, onslaught is not good for you since you already have such massive AS improvements.

If you're trying to get street-cred like "look guys I played Frenzy build to level 97", then yeah, I guess. Go for it.

Otherwise the only reason to play Frenzy as main attack is if someone puts a gun to your head.

Could you recommend a better singletarget skills for a first time bow-user? I'm building towards phys damage and Chaos damage, just in case if thats important.

Thanks
