When I watched a videos of this build or similar builds I realized the number of frenzy charges rarely go below 4. So what is the point of travelling that far in the tree to get frenzy charges.

Is it the speed bonus or is it the small possibility of using 5 of them with out any critical hit? Or is it for bosses where we can't generate any frenzy.

I think this is a great build for using weapon swap imho. And we can get more and more dps and life nodes instead of frenzy charge that can compensate our attack speed.

You do sometimes drop below 3 charges sometimes on single target and when you do, you're going to have a bad time mmmkay.

But you're mostly right, you want the 5 charges for single targets where you get the charges up with diamond flask and have enough to sustain with bad rng. It's easier than you think to get stuck sometimes with dick in hand and no frenzy charges. Even with close to 70% crit.

Don't ask how you fail to generate frenzy charges on single targets with 70% crit and multistrike. GGG makes it happen.

Thanks for the fast answer.

Yeah yeah probability isn't that low in the case which you farm with this build for ten hours a day. But we are not playing in HC I feel like for a single frenzy charge we can gain a lot. But I'm pretty noob when it comes to build a char. It would be great Kargot would try this instead of me :D

That's the thing, I personally am playing HC with this build and even with 5 frenzy charges i need 2 life flasks for those odd times that 5 charges doesn't sustain single target. It's rare, but it does happen.

BUT

You also need to remember that each frenzy is 4% MORE damage. 8% more is nothing to sniff at.

This build is a BLAST! (quite litteraly)

I started the 2h non-crit version of the build, when suddenly a Terminus dropped and I knew what I had to do. A quick day of leveling later I was blazing through maps again and the fun isn't stopping.
It takes some time in the beginning to figure out what makes your flickering stutter (frenzy charges/mana/dps/fps). Once you get the hang of it though your eyes kinda get addicted to the fast mashup of all the different visual effects.
I tweaked the tree a bit to run Inspired Learning (right side of the tree) and I run Shadows and Dust too for the rampage explosions. The colours are just amazing!
Will be hunting for those juicy Assassins Mark on hit rings next to get some Hatred going too.

Worst thing about the build: the backtracking for the loot! If the packs are tightly together you end up on the other side of the map faster than the loot filter can trigger the sound of the drops. But that's what it's all about, isn't it?

Thanks for the awsome build!
