[3.22] 2H Fire damage Ice Crash Berserker

Killed all non-uber bosses with this build, so I'll probably explain a bit more.

Ice crash is a slam skill, that heavily benefits from warcries (in my case at least). Using Avatar of Fire keystone and Cold to fire support gem we getting 100% conversion physical->cold->fire, allowing to scale damage from 3 sources. With Resolute technique keystone you don't need to think about crit and accuracy here, berserk ascendancy provides more than enough damage here.


Pros
+ Easy league start
+ cheap
+ good map clear
+ decent bossing

Cons
- not tanky (offense is the best defense)
- hard to get uniques on ssf
- lots of buttons to press

Items
Spoiler


Weapon: good pdps 2H axe, with at least 1.2 attack speed, so you don't die while swinging.

Helmet: https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Echoes_of_Creation no doubt. Gives 45% more damage with 3 warcries. Damage taken as I understand just got reduced by armor and your life leech right after hit (bought 15% helmet for 15c this league).

Rings: https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/The_Taming with 80%(92 with catalysts) damage I think, and probably amethyst ring with good stats.

Amulet: turquoise amulet with stats, you need to get intelligence and dexterity somewhere

Body armor: I'm using just armor based 6-link with good stats.

Gloves: same as body armor.

Belt: probably https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Ryslatha%27s_Coil

Boots: https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Dawnstrider making your vaal ancestor warchief grant 64% more instead of 32%.

And 2 Tukohama's, War herald unique forbidden jewels https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Tukohama,_War%27s_Herald granting 7-link. Bought them this league for 1 and 2 divines.


Skills

Spoiler

I'll write my gems as of writing this post.

Weapon: Infernal cry - Combustion - Controlled blaze - Endurance charge on melee stun. Infernal cry when cast grants you exerted melee aoe attack that hits (combust), meaning that you can support it with some utility. In my case endurance charges, -10% resistances from combustion and chance to ignite for combustion and fire mastery (100% increased damage from hits against Ignited enemies) from blaze.
Also blood and sand and berserk.

Helmet: echoes of creation grants us +1 warcry use, so here goes Intimidating cry and seismic cry, in my case flame dash and arctic armour. I'm using arctic armour because most of my deaths happened during swinging animation, when you stand in one place, anomalous version grants chance to freeze enemies, which adds survivability.

Body armor: Fist of war - Elemental focus(prevents main skill from igniting enemies, we need ignites from infernal cry to apply combustion) - Cold to fire - melee physical damage - Pulverise(Divergent version grants +20% more damage) and if you get forbidden jewels Elemental damage with attacks.

Gloves: Flammability, Determination, Vaal Ancestor Warchief and Hatred. Hatred gives the biggest damage boost among 50% auras, granting more cold damage and extra physical as cold.

Boots: CWDT - molten shell - lifetap(to not die on low mana) - and some utility ( I use frost bomb for 75% reduced Life regeneration)
