CRIT STAFF BERSERKER - upwards of 24M sweep DPS medium/high investment (10-70ex) ssf viable

This is a simple crit staff sweep, we go almost full elemental conversion (did this so i could take use of all my staff explicits), but you can change the tree and equip for a full phys + impale one, but beware, i think you wont have as much damage

PROS:
-Big damage
-fast movement speed and attack speed
-off meta sweep + staff build
-great clear capacity
-great bossing ability
-no abyssus
-Quite tanky and tough for a zerker build (thx to glancing blows)
-no gem swap for single target

CONS:
-Aspect of carnage
-reflect maps, be it phys or elemental, are a big no
-you dont wanna be doing no regen, no leech maps
-less recovery rate maps are doable but be careful

How does the build works?

So, the build works through direct conversion of physical damage to elemental damage, around 65% to cold and 25% to fire, and you cold probably convert another 25% to lightning, but the dps increase wasnt worth the investment. The big damage comes with aspect of carnage, but as everyone knows it, there is one big drawback to it, and that is that we take globally 10% increased damage, and to counter that i decided to go staffs for an "OK" amount of block (around 40% atck blck), and for more consistent defence, we go for glancing blows to cap our block chance, and get that sweeeet 35% reduced damage taken, pair this with perma forty and 3 endurance charges and we get quite tanky.

-Herald of purity
-blood and sand
-Precision
(you should link Precison, blood and sand and herald of purity to a enlighten gem, without it you might run into mana problems)


Secondary damage assist
-Frost bomb
-Berserk

you should change your gems to their respective awakened equivalent when you can, they are not mandatory, but they DO get your damage significantly higher. level 21 gems also help, but they are secondary priority except for main Sweep gem

You DONT need to copy my gear, much of it is self crafted in std, you can get better stuff or cheaper stuff in your gear slots, and i will be talking on the end of this post about possible changes to make the build overal cheaper. Having this is mind, i do absolutely recommend an explody chest, it helps A LOT with clearing trash mobs.
(For secondary jewels look for, from most important to least important)
-Increased maximum life
-Necessary resistances
-Accuracy (just until you cap hit chance)
-Crit Multiplier
-Other damage mods

Ascendancy choice

in order
-Aspect of Carnage
-Crave the Slaughter
-Rite of ruin
-Flawless Savagery
You can change Flawless savagery for any other node you want, feel free to play around

Gear talk : So, when making this build, you should look for some specific stuff in your gear, mainly the seventh link on your staff, the explode mod on your chest, and LIFE, you wanna have life on absolutely every place you can have it. So, about the staff, you should look for one with Fortify support or Power charge on crit, fortify one should render you more damage. If you go for it, you can change your fortify gem for conc effect/inc area, and you should probably be doing more damage than me, but have in mind you will need to gem swap for bossess. Having that out of the way, the ammulet is the second most important piece, you NEED a replica Hyrris´s truth, and can only change it if you happen to get the reduced mana reservation helm enchant for your herald of purity, but you may run into mana problems by doing so.

Things to avoid, change and upgrade in this build
My helm is kinda garbage, an armour based one with a power charge, crit mult and less cold res to nearby enemies will not only be MUCH more expensive, but will also net you A LOT more damage, getting better life rolls in each item can also be easily achieved, the build should have around 6k like at level 95, i have 5991 at 94 with the gear you saw before. You can change the ascendancy of this build too, feel free to play around with the cluster jewels combinations and mechanics. To cheapen the build, you can substitute the conversion gloves to a Hrimburm unique glove, and your chest piece for a kaom/any rare with life, this 2 changes alone will cut on about 35-40 ex, you can also quite easily use a Hegemony era warstaff for quite a while before you craft a big staff with all the cool mods.

Conclusion: This is a fast paced, soft core build, you can probably push it to level 100, as it is more tanky then it looks. The new fortify effect helm would be an amazing addition to the build. This is also my FIRST forum post AND build guide, so please be gentle, i am allways open to constructive criticism and neet build ideas

I WILL BE TRYING TO PUT VIDEOS OF THE BUILD UP, i just dont have a big pc to be able to do it yet

1 video is up, this isa baran map and the fight against him with this build, A8 fight
