Unless you are trolling, this build does not use weapons...

He isn't trolling, https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/The_Dancing_Dervish says

While The Dancing Dervishes are manifested, the player character is considered unarmed and is affected by Onslaught, therefore effects such as Facebreaker's, Doryani's Fist's, or Hollow Palm Technique's unarmed damage bonus will take effect. As soon as Rampage ends, the manifested weapons will vanish and the character reequips the weapon re-enabling the weapon slots.

emphasis mine. It's not unheard of https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds?item=One-With-Nothing,The-Dancing-Dervish and for example https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds/char/InvincibleSoul/WeSpinToWinAgainX looks not horrible expensive, the 6L Wildwrap and the woke gems are each 5ex the rest likely is cheap unless I missed something. (And the woke gems are just min-maxing cherry on the cake, you gain less than 10% of your DPS by using Awakened instead of not.) Since the rework it has "Melee Hits count as Rampage Kills" and so you Cyclone in, hit 15 times which takes a few seconds and then Hollow Palm takes over boosted by Rampage. It's not a bad idea at all...

I am running this build right now at level 93, with 1.5k dex. I think there is an opportunity that is not highlighted in this build, is that if you manage to get more accuracy than your life, you basically have an additional 40% more attack damage with the new Precise Technique Keystone.

There are two ways to achieve this:

1. "30% increased accuracy while your have onslaught" enchantment on belts + some accuracy nodes (12% inc accuracy near duelist starting tree for example) or some flat/% accuracy on abyss jewels
2. Obtaining the 5th ascendency Impact via Forbidden Flesh and Forbidden Flame - you may need to sacrifice a slot for unnatural instinct, but I feel that the increased AOE is very nice to have, though at a cost of some hp. Maybe at this point a few regrets to switch between UI + 1 rare jewel for bossing and 5th ascendency for map clearing would not be too bad

Having that keystone is such a boon to your attack damage, and makes it feel as good as 3.15 pre HP nerf

the dancing devish works fine with this build, free rampage.
