I am really frustrated last 2 days

Lost over 8 shaped vaults and more then 20 other maps with the instance crash.
If i have nasty mods and die the map ist lost. But now there also instance crashs with
breaches or abyss monster.

So i give up the challenges cause its not really funny and there is no hope that ggg will fix this. so i think it will be also in the next leage.

It was a funny time with this build and thanks for the great build guide and the really good support all the last leages.

I will miss this build, but its not playable for me anymore with this crashes.

thanks a lot kelvynn.

I've found the game crashes quite a lot if I use Spell Cascade. As much as I liked using it for clear, after removing it I haven't had any more problems.

Luckily once you get your damage up high enough you don't need it.

Thanks a lot. Since i dont use spell cascade i had no crashes anymore. I tried this a view weeks bevore but it looks that it dosnt work. What i found and thats absolutly strange for me

IF i use spell cascade one time in a map, and then put out the gem in my inventory and dont use the skill anymore, leave the map and reenter the instance crashes.
I tried this in 10 low tier maps in 2 days. If i dont use the spell cascade gem in a map and only use ce and ef then the last 30 maps i had not ONE crash.

Thats so strange i had no idea what the reason can be behind. I reported it to the support, but if i get this earlyer in the leage i perhaps would have the chance to get 36 challenges.

So i have no chance anymore. But thanks for the help, the game is now funny again.

OK, then RIP Berserker :(

Its funny how they break builds just like that lol.

So they want casters to stay the hell out of Berserker class..

Maybe they're worried about people exploiting the leech via spell totems? When you go over the build list, those are the only entries that seem like they could really exploit the passive, but ... this is also the game where Ancestral Warchief lets you roflstomp everything without trying, so that feels a bit silly.

Alternately, they never intended the leech to be usable with spells, and it was an oversight. But it's not exactly like it was causing a problem ...

Well what about elementalist or templar now ?

Yep. Somebody at GGG decided that Berserker must not cast spells. It's a 100% melee class now. Oh well, it was great while it lasted.

Perhaps they are suggesting that we should try a different Marauder class? :)

Waiting to see what they do with those. I assume they are going to unveil the new look for each class in the next 2 weeks.

You have only 5k ES and 1254 Int.
Your belt, gloves and boots are not from this build at all; chest and helmet are weak.
Discipline lv 1...
You don't have any of the defensive links.
Your tree has some nodes that need to be refunded.
You are lacking Potency of Will and 2 jewel sockets.

Follow the build. Use recommended items and gems.

... yeah, the Hinekora node does provide leech + gives us ash for more damage. Aside from that, I guess the +100% fire resistance and the endurance charge generator look pretty solid. Not as good as berserker was, but serviceable, at least.

(Funny thing is, looking at the tree, Ngamahu axe builds will be just about the only Chieftains who can afford to skip Avatar of Fire.)
