I tried this out again and I finally got the game play cadence down. I wasn't weaving the Defiance/Dread Banners before with the linger effect to make sure they had 100% uptime so I was taking way more damage than I should've. The slow attack speed doesn't matter when nothing can hurt you.
The 500% warcry CDR axe is really amazing. I'm probably only at 1/4th the damage since I'm using potato gear and I'm taking no damage auras/items and no damage nodes other than Admonisher. My 4th ascendancy node is the breach one with double damage to graft skills and Seize the Flesh/Return to Dust w/2 damage mods to supplement single target since I wanted to try out the skills. They do a lot of damage too even without Pride. Right now my only auras are all warcries except Rallying set to autoexert and Precision. I cast Rallying before a boss to charge Seize the Flesh and then less than a second of slamming instaphases or kills them. Most fun I've had in a long time.
Yeah, you are right. I just tried the 500% CDR , its amazing , but it is getting annoyingly loud.

I'll just say this. My second version of the build I'm workshopping as it currently stands has enough damage to phase uber Shaper in about 5-7 seconds of uptime.
I did not use damage auras or Rallying Cry, and I do not have the Uber Shaper helmet yet. I also have not equipped a +3 Earthshatter Replica Dragonfang I found yet since it feels unethical for SSF.
I still have more things to work through on this character before it's worth releasing, but things are going well.

I wish we could mute warcries like that one patch a while ago. Actually a huge downside of the setup IMO. The 500% CDR axe is also definitely a survivability nerf unfortunately. Makes it hard to see what's around your character.

I was noticing a detail, and I didn't quite understand it: if we have "Unwavering Stance," why did you leave "Soul for the Brine King" selected in the POB settings? Excuse my ignorance...
