[3.0]Bleed + EQ + Gruthkul = End-game shaper melting (6min shaper run)

I'm raising awareness on the massive dps boost given by bleed to skills which we all start ignoring such as EQ.
I've been playing bleed all season and I found that earthquake honestly rocks with crimson dance. The gist of the build is to get enough attack speed and reduce duration so that earthquake procs every 0.25s. This way, you only need 1sec to proc all 8 bleed stacks onto enemies including bosses. It is honestly great for hit/move/hit/move tactics and the bleed damage is significant to the point where you can see shaper's life go down. Here are some background information, I play on a laptop with an integrated graphics card so I can't stand too much flashy stuff - including shaper vortexes. I've never killed shaper with builds that take too long because of this limitation. This is the 2nd build other than my BLS molten strike 1500str berserker that I used to kill shaper, so the speed of using earthquake and bleed to kill is quite significant.

I wear gruthkul's pelt because all the damage I do is physical, but the armor is obviously interchangeable with anything else to suit your needs.

The character name is: Clondyke.

I installed obs but my laptop seriously can't handle both the game and the recording program. I can't stop dying on first contact to the shaper so you have to excuse the 1-2 fps... However, despite the shitty frame rate...
Here is a video of me killing shaper phases 1 to 3 in ~6min dying only once due to the retarded frame speed and another time due to the lag stoppig me from leaping out of slam.

(I swapped maim on EQ with ruthless in this video - seems good).

Minus the inbetween time
~1min to finish phase 1 shaper
~1min +20sec to finish phase 2 shaper
~<1min to finish phase 3 shaper

In terms of gear - warped timepiece and 30% reduced duration EQ helm is a must + a strong base damage 2-handed axe/mace.

Gruthkul's is absolutely NOT required - if you have problems staying alive from projectiles - take belly of the beast and use immortal call + grace + arctic armor.

Here is my gear.



I'm not sure how to post up jewels from my passive tree but they are what I use to get a lot of my resistance.
Prioritize (resistance, max life, atk speed with axe, atk speed, physical damage).

This build is easily uber lab capable. I haven't done uber atziri yet so I'm not sure how well it goes there.

K, cool. Build looks very interesting among all of these sunder-BF-KB-Barrage-Cyclone-shit.

Another Question. We go with Kraitlyn or 2 points?

Shaper. Not deathless but it's possible for sure

Interesting, I have a spare duelist on standard and all the necessary parts for this.
Will certainly give it a shot.

Also, why wise oak?
