I have a lvl 89 EQ juggernaut that uses cospri's with temp chains and vulnerability. I'm thinking about buying a starforge and going lacerate. How do you think a juggernaut would do?

And how do you feel about the perserverance vanguard belt? Perma unslaught with fortify support.

That belt is pretty neat actually, I think I would prefer it over the Retch if you can get enough resists elsewhere. There's just not a lot of space for more uniques in the build if you want to be ele weakness capped or close to it, so you kinda have to choose between uniques. If I were to remake this build now for myself, I would get +1 haemophilias and rare boots and go from there. If I had space for an extra unique I think I would take Perseverance over the Retch.

As for Juggernaut, the lack of Bane of Legends and Brutal Fervour will hurt a lot. You might be able to make it work, but for myself I would just reroll a slayer instead, it's an awesome ascendancy anyway, you can do so many builds with it.

I've made some changes to this build that I think makes for better overall DPS.

Ancestral warchief: I replaced Bloodlust with Void Manipulation. This makes for more consistent damage, considering our low chance to bleed. VM is still surprisingly effective, as a lot of our damage is poison (chaos damage).

Jewels are among our best ways of increasing DPS. Taking one or maybe even two additional jewel slots.

Increased chaos damage, attack speed and area damage are the best three affixes we can get on jewels.

Lacerate:

Melee damage on full life is super good when playing Slayer. Our life is topped up like 95% of the time. We lose Fortify, but it's a valid sacrifice considering the massive effective DPS increase.

A few changes to the passive tree as well.
Link. Considering taking the Berserking nodes when I get one or two more levels.

Running these changes in Path of Building shows that AW does more damage with Void Manipulation (instead of Bloodlust), even against bleeding enemies.

That's what I thought too until I tested it. If the tooltip is right, the melee damage on full life buff is active as long as leech is active. Which is most of the time.
