[3.20] Charge Stacking Impale Reap/Exanguinate Champion


Introduction
This is my first time writing a guide, I have always wanted to make a charge stacking duelist caster since the time Arn's Anguish came into existence. The introduction of entropic devastation finally made that happen for me.

Build Idea
The build is built around a Charge Stacking mechanic

Spoiler
First we stack power charges is done by picking up power charges on the tree and using 2 uniques which give us 3 maximum power charges combined and they also give our build the much needed increased damage per power charge. These are Void Battery and Malachai's Loop.

Next using max Power Charges to get Max Frenzy Charges using the Unique Badge of the Brotherhood.

Finally get Max Endurance Charges to get Max Frenzy Charges by picking up Masterful Form of Slayer.

We are also picking up Inner Conviction to get 3% More Damage per Power Charge.

To generate All the charges we use Ralakesh's Impatience, since we are stationary while casting the spell. This also offsets the downsides from Malachai's Loop and Inner Conviction

FAQS

Why is the unreserved mana so low?
Spoiler
Since our main skill costs life, I took the liberty to reserve almost all my mana. This lead to having ony 3 unreserved mana. Hence we attach life tap to assassin's mark and lightning warp


How do we sustain life?
Spoiler
We run vitality for life regeneration. Cannibalistic Rite for reduced life cost of skills. We are petrified blood build with 51% unreserved life this lets us have overleech.


How do you get leech?
Spoiler
Unfortunately there are not many sources for physical spell leeched as life. This mod is only available on Amulets(Elder/Hunter Influence and Delve Mod). Our amulet slot is a unique so we cannot use that. The only source I could think of the we can use is Vitality watcher's eye mod for x% damage leeched as life while affected by vitality


Why does clear feel so bad?
Spoiler
For clearing most content I swap Reap Spell Cascade Support with Exsanguinate Chain Support. With Exsanguinate and lightning warp the Clear feels amazing. The lightning warp is very quick as a result of all the movement speed we get while in combat.

Why does damage feel low?
Spoiler
You need Pain Attunement on your Sanctified Relic using Lysia's Invocation of Pain Attunement

Arn's Anguish gives us about 33% chance to deal triple damage if you are at 11 Max Charges. That's approximately 99% more damage. By giving up that belt for Mage Blood, We gain 11 Endurance charges which makes us more resistant to physical Damage, and if we use a Bismuth Flask with Resistances, we can probably drop Purity of elements and Start running Zealotry. We can use a watcher's eye Mod to get Arcane Surge while Effected by Zealotry. This might Offset some of the Damage loss.
