[3.1] BERSERKER/JUGGERNAUT 288k DPS Ice Crash/EQ Crit Staff AKA "The Shattering Karui"

Could you please, also write in main topic the level of CWDT, IC and Phase Run lvl which one suggest for proc.

Btw, as you mentioned before about Ice Crash with Concentrated Effect. Do heavy strike still do more dps with right gems or replacing Inc AOE with Conc. Effect in Ice Crash setup will out damage heavy strike?

Sure.

I'm actually not sure, I'm not playing atm so I can't check, but you can always do that yourself in-game.

The leveling skill trees are using the new skilltree, could you do the same for the completed tree for softcore? Not sure if you utilize any of the new leech nodes. Thanks.

The tree is up to date, I didn't go for the new leech nodes as using warlord's mark linked to blasphemy is much more effective.

Comrade what about double curse cluster near Blaunt Trauma cluster? I mean should it be better to run warlords and assassins mark or Warlorld + Determ/Hatred is better? Did you tested it?

Also what is optimal crit chance without Power Charges? How much average i should have?

It's better to run Determination, as you really need at least 1 defensive aura as a 2-hander. You would die too much otherwise.

What matters is that you take the crit nodes from the tree that I linked and that you use a staff with a good base crit chance, so either Hegemony's Era or a rare staff with the "Increased Critical Strike Chance" modifier.

well atm i'm 71 lvl on talisman league and my hit chance is 90% and crit chance is 16.49% still taking crit nodes and etc. Should i make more hit chance or just continue to increase my crit?

90% chance to hit is acceptable, just don't go below 89%.

Started with this build on the new league, had a rough start due to bad luck and no drops but i've gotten up to 10k damage now and can run t1-3 maps so far ok.

What's your preferred way of using ice crash in combat? shift+hold mouse 2 in middle of enemies or just target enemies with mouse2?

Also, is heavy strike necessary? Posts earlier indicate that ice crash is just fine single target, what are other options for gems instead of heavy strike? Vaal haste?

I also opted to use the +30 int and dex nodes above the marauder start, getting both dex and int to level up gems seems really hard without perfect gear.

Edit: I switched from blasphemy warlord mark to CWDT warlord mark, it seems fine so far, the melee skill mana reduce buff means i have no mana issues even before the cwdt procs, this opens up reserve to use herald of ash for bonus damage.
Thanks!

I just target monsters, but you can use shift ofc, it's a matter of personal preference.

Heavy strike isn't necessary, but it will make bosses easier for you.
