[3.16] General's Cry Blade Flurry Build | Berserker | Scourge | Path of Exile 3.16

What are the benefits of using a nerfed soultether in this build?
Soul tether is not nerfed. It's the hybrid builds that got nerfed. We use soul tether for overleech, we don't give a shit about ES.

I'm not sure if I should trust the path of building DPS calculation.

With Abyssus and 9.7 Attacks/second, it gives me 9.6 million DPS. With Deidbellow and 10.4 atttacks/second, it gives me only 7.6 million DPS.

Should I prioritize breaking the 10 a/s threshold, or stick with the higher DPS helmet?

If you use blade flurry's "Release at 6 stage" for both calculations, thats the problem. I havent tried it yet but if BF's cant reach to 6 stage release point without 10 APS, you shouldnt be using that calculation for lower APS breakpoints.
just dinged 94 on my char and it has been a pretty smooth ride overall. did all the big bosses (uber elder, AL8 sirus, maven fight, etc) with minimal issues. I checked blade flurry stacks by running a mao kun map and thanks to the fairgraves invincibility, i can verify that my mirages hit 6 stacks every time i cast general's cry. (i see the green pillar which is a sign that BF has reached 6 stacks) POB puts my general's cry at just under 39 million and there are still plenty of upgrades that I can go for. my priority right now would be a +1 mirage warrior and then a crit and curse chest paired with an assassin's mark ring. those upgrades should push my general's cry to 54 million.

you really need to play it much like an evasion-based character and try not to tank avoidable hits. we have extremely high mobility so use it to your advantage for positioning. Ultimatums are almost brainless level. just spam flasks and berserk on cooldown, spin around the middle of the arena in one direction and sooner or later, the mobs will die. as for proximity shield mobs, if you're confident enough, you can get up close and personal and don't use lion's roar so the mob doesn't get knocked back.

as for defensive measures, blood and sand as well as berserk is your best friend. keep berserk up as often as possible and while mapping. stay on sand stance to blind enemies and only switch to blood when you're about to engage the boss. personally, I keep blood and sand on my right click and cyclone on Q. i can just hold down my cyclone and general cry the entire time and switching your stance doesn't break your actions. you can also use vaal grace in more sketchy ultimatums or when you're diving to kill a proximity shield rare.

here is my POB if you guys are interested

paradoxical sword is expensive. Would you have another one to indicate? tks

Can Someone explain me why my pob only shows 23 mil dps with generals cry while if i import one from poe ninja the damage is like 140 mil with similar items?

I ve noticed that on their build under the calc section, blade flurry gives 3x DPS increase for this gem while on mine doesnt.

Any ideas? Here is my pob https://pastebin.com/ETC1hSDi

and here is the imported from poe ninja https://pastebin.com/XvViZtKL

you didn't set blade flurry to release at 6 stacks
edit: nvm. made some incorrect assumptions

Any suggestions about what I should upgrade next here? It's my first league in forever, so not really sure what to focus on.

My map clearing speed is good, but I feel way squishy. Frequently getting one shot on bosses.
