[3.13] ICE CRASH BERSERKER Build. 4M DPS + 700% CRIT, ALL Content & UBER ELDER Viable!

Just when 3.7 launched i really wanted to play reworked Cleave with Ahn's Might.Once i started and got to maps though, i quickly faced the reality of SHITTINESS that Cleave is. It's just bad and reworked threshold jewel does not fix it :(So i've started looking for options WHAT ELSE can work with my original plan to use Ahn's Might and Berserker and stumbled upon Ice Crash and OMG it just perfectly fits! AOE! Great single target! Fantasic eye cancer effects! P E R F E C T!This build is balanced around offense and defense. Berserker in general is very glass cannon and can be very frustrating to play through rippy League content. Esepecially if you are a new player. So after decent amount of experiments i came to an optimized balanced setup which allows you to sustain most incoming hits while dealing enough damage to destroy pretty much everything.

How does it work, in general?
You slam monsters with swords and BIG DICK damage. They freeze and die before they can even realize WTF happened.

======================================================================================
1) PROS
Spoiler

+satisfying AOE and single target that does not suck
+crazy mobility and jumping speed with berserker TRIPLE enRAGEd Attack Speed.
+Can reach very decent damage numbers (2-3 million) with low investment
+bosses can be frozen to death
+is actually cheap since uses unique swords 2-10c each. It was my league starter as well.

======================================================================================
2) CONS
Spoiler

-Eye cancer cold explosions. You either like them or hate them.
-You can't see shit, so very hard to prevent ground-based and projectile attacks. Because you CAN'T SEE SHIT!
-Melee, so in general is harder to boss (need some melee skill!)
-Pretty squishy. You can't tank as much as JUGG.

3) Skill Tree Progression / Path of Building / Ascendancy / Bandits
Spoiler
Path of building:https://pastebin.com/Fg14GFy5
IF YOU GET AN ERROR WHILE IMPORTING OR ANY OTHE ERRORS, IT MEANS YOUR POB IS OUTDATED ORIGINAL VERSION THAT IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED. YOU NEED A "COMMUNITY FORK" ONE TO MAKE IT WORK:
https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding
For Ascendancy: Crave the Slaughter, Rite of Ruin, War Bringer, Flawless Savagery (Aspect of Carnage for absolute madman)
Bandits: Alira / Kill All

======================================================================================
4) Early Levelling Gear / Skills
Spoiler

In current state of the game you can level with whatever skill you want: Cleave, Sweep, Sunder. I personally used Cleave.
Link it with Melee.PhyS.Damage + Ruthless + Multistrike (when you get it) and you are good to go till maps.
In terms of gear there are plenty of good swords that can be used:

5) My Actual Gear / End-Game Skills
Spoiler


Chest with bowht Maim and "Attacks Have +% Critical Strike Chance" is very expensive, but is a nice stretch end-game goal (that's what i have in PoB)
JEWELS:
Life, Crit Multi with Elemental Skills, Global Multi Crit, Crit with One Handed weapons, Crit while Dual Wielding, Crit with Cold Skills. Cold damage. Intelligence, Melee Damage.
1 PACIFISM

For Uber Lab enchant: 15% of Ice Crash Physical Damage as Extra Cold Damage. 40% Ice Crash Damage is second best!
------------------------------------------
I use different setups for different content. Another reason why i like this build. It's flexible and you don't need to recolor anything!
Mindless Mapping 6L: Ice.Crash-Melee.Physical.Damage-Increased.Critical.Strikes-Fortify-Multistrike-Pulverize (this ensures guaranteed crit and good AOE. You can use Fortify in Leap Slam 4L)
Bossing 6L (Uber Elder/Shaper): Ice.Crash-Melee.Physical.Damage-Concentrated.Effect-Elemental.Damage.With.Attacks-Multistrike-Fortify
Maximum AOE with Carcass Jack 6L: Ice.Crash-Melee.Physical.Damage-Increased.Area.of.Effect-Pulverize-Multistrike-Fortify
For 5L setups just move Fortify to Leap Slam!
Carcass jack is AWESOME for aoe!

6) Flasks
Spoiler



======================================================================================
7) Pantheon Gods
Spoiler

Major: Arakaali
Minor: Ryslatha

======================================================================================
8) Hardcore Viable or not?
Spoiler

It can be done, but you need to be very careful and take warcry as an early point. You need to know what you are doing since berserker is literally a glass cannon sofrtcore POWERHOUSE!

======================================================================================
9) FOR THE RICH GUYS
Spoiler

Watcher's Eye with Hatred Penetration + Precision Crit Multi (40-50 ex). Triple Crit Multi jewels. Double Currupted Ahn's Mights

======================================================================================

FAQ
1) What is the best base for a chest?
Spoiler

item level 86+ Elder Astral Plate

2) How can i craft Maim + Attacks have Critical Strike Chance?
Spoiler

Pristine + Serrated Fossil (+ sanctified if you are super rich)

3) I tried using these fossils and never got Crit Chance!
Spoiler

Check if your chest is ELDER or not. Crit is an ELDER mod.

4) Can i get Maim in any other way other than fossils??
Spoiler
No

5) I can't for the life of me get Maim + Crit! I've spent million of fossils!
Spoiler
RNG

6) How did you get 30% Quality on your weapon?

8) Can i use something else other than Ahn's Might?
Spoiler

You surely can use some 400+ pdps Jewelled Foils. They are a billion times more expensive though

9) You have just over 4M dps in PoB, LUL clickbait LUL!!
Spoiler

Close Combat is not calculated and it's 59% MORE DAMAGE lul. Put some Ruthless and you'll get the numbers. LUUUL. Maim double dipping on Blood and Sand is not calculated as well. LUL

I am thinking about transforming my Frost Blades raider to a version with Ice Crash. It uses The Pandaemonium (that penetration and blind is awesome) and other different equip of course, also makes full use of Frenzy etc.
But basically it should work well with Ice Crash, don't you think? To not suffer less frenzy charge I need advice on weapons, though. I thought Cameria's Avarice (might also help with drops) maybe? (+ shield)

Also, what exactly is the point of Melee Splash if the skill already has insane AoE? For mapping, wouldn't Ancestral Call be an awesome choice because you launch 3 crashes each hit? Why Combat Rush and not, for example, Hypothermia or Ruthless? No Rage, why?
I trust of course the build is well-made and there are good reason not to pick these gems, I'm merely interested why.

Thanks for all advice. I'd love to see hyper-speed raider with Ice Crash :D

Pandemonius is not so awesome as it gives you no resists or life. You chill be default because Ice Crash is a cold skill, but since enemies are frozen most of the time
Melee Splash is actually an ERROR lol, sneaked from my skeletron build as i copied it as a template.
Frenzies are great, but you won't get them for bosses anyway, and there's a reason why Ahn's Might is here. Insane swords.
Close Combat gives insane multiplier for close range, which is where bosses are.
Rage is not needed, most map bosses die in a few seconds, and you will 50 all the time. It's berserker here. He naturally gains Rage.
Absolutely no shield here, if you want to do damage
