[3.0] Dark Pact Clearspeed Berserker (MASSIVE AOE) (Sucks in 3.1)

So, I've finally finished my Uber Lab and have Cloaked in Savagery. I find it kinda lackluster, like very. Maybe I'm not doing something right with it.

Even on T8 maps, sometimes I'll just fall over from nothing it seems. I have to dip in and out of packs to not get killed over and over.

Solid build. Decided to try it to replace me build that I use for farming maps. Uber lab is a must.

My gear so far

Does the Unique flask that is recommended make a big difference? And is anyone using a dagger instead of Brightbeak for damage? I feel like my damage is lacking in bosses.

I thought that was a skill gem, wow my noobness shows.

Just realized it's a passive node in the tree.

So I'm going to respec to it and see how it goes. That should let me finally get into red tier maps you think?
Can you farm uber lab with this build?
Thanks for the build guide Maddog, really enjoying it so far!

Few questions

I am a bit unsure about one thing in particular. Does controlled destruction somehow increase the cold damage from Herald of Ice since the cold dmg is added to our Dark Pact? If not wouldn't Void Manipulation be better since we are essentially trading 5% more multiplier back for the 100% crit chance loss. (Mainly concerned about shattering here)

Im guessing you do not take the two chaos dmg wheels since you dont feel a need for the dps?

Would a 5 link Carcass be preferable over a tabula for early mapping? I guess its a trade of Area vs DPS?

That would handicap you more than help you.

Yes controlled boosts the cold damage.

From my personal experience I had more than enough damage to comfortably clear without chaos dmg wheels.

Not sure about tabula vs carcass. 6 link should be more damage but carcass might feel better and slightly safer. Not sure. Let me know.

No the traps are very annoying on a Dark pact berserker. You can probably do it but I don't recommend it. Izaro is easy though.

What would be the ideal 5link gem setup?

EDIT: Also how important is the intuitive leap? Is it something I should be getting ASAP or can it wait until later?
