3.4 Righteous Fire Apple Jugg/zerker

So I've been messing around with this build for some time now, I'm in red maps and doing well, although there seems to be some interesting mechanical and number related issues I'm having.

First off, the berserker version of this is pretty expensive, so keep that in mind.

Here is my current gear:(shared between both versions currently)

This is where it gets expensive. in order to make zerker even close to working we need some very expensive watcher's eye:

Life regenerated is a huge more multiplier to our regen and we need it given that we take 10% increased damage from our ascendancy.

other jewels:
These are all pretty inexpensive versions, as I've spent the bulk of my currency on the watcher's eyes.


Note that in path of building I have enduring cry and rallying cry off, as this greatly affects both my damage and my life regen, but they are not up all the time. I don't know what's going on with the item, as it doesn't seem to proc as often as I would expect it to. That said, it also DOES NOT COUNT as me casting a warcry when they are proc'd by the apple shield, as I do not gain rage when they go off, nor do I gain life or mana from war bringer being proc'd.

This means that ostensibly the only reason to choose berserker is the 40% more damage that Aspect of carnage gives, as the savage hit bonuses and everything else seem to be completely inactive. I'm not sure if this is intended or what, but in PoB when taking a savage hit is checked, my damage increases, but I don't get any leech( I could only leech with shield charge which does super minimal damage anyway, so it's not like I expect it to be too insane.)

The main problem here might be that I am just not generating endurance charges at a rapid enough pace, even with warlord's mark.

All of that said, the juggernaut version is pretty nice and tanky, and has a good amount of defense, it's just not nearly as damaging.

here is a PoB link to the juggernaut version:

It certainly works, and is fun, but I really want to see if I can get the berserker version working. Any thoughts or feedback is greatly appreciated.

The build as a juggernaut works very well and is incredibly tanky as well as having a decent damage output. I'm working really hard on making the berserker version work. It might be a pipe dream but I'd really like to see if I can make it work. The mechanics of the shield however seem to not work with war bringer and the shield itself seems to have some mechanical issues, I'm not sure though, it needs more testing.
