[3.5]Wild Strike||T1-16 viable||UPDATED||500k+ shaper dps + instant leech survivability

Class:
Marauder/Berserker

Ascendancy:
----------
Berserker
----------
Pain Reaver
Cloaked in savagery
Aspect of carnage
do this with your last two nodes (getting rage from crave the slaughter gives too much degen)


Pantheon (situational)
Soul of solaris/soul of gruthkul

Bandits
Kill all the bandits

you dont have to have quality but i highly recommend you vendor recipe at lvl 20 in all your gems especially your wild strike setup.

the recipe is, 1 level 20 gem + 1 Gcp
you will roughly have found this many Gcp's by the time comes anyway and it doesnt take that long to level them back up, plus saving you a lot of chaos/ex

---Attack---
I highly recommend that you use a tabula rasa till you can afford a 6l corrupt rare with life, till you can afford a 6l belly of the beast.


You can switch out ancestral call with for more dps and physical damage defence when it comes to stronger bosses, i highly recommend this for fighting the guardians.

Ruthless does give us more dps if you can hold up fortify with whirling blades, its just my preference to switch ancestral call with fortify for QOL.

-----------------------------------------------------
---Movement Skill---


---Auras---


---Buff gems---
Activate both of these for a nice healthy damage boost, mainly for the boss's


---Cast when damage taken setups----
WEAPON OR SHIELD
IMMORTAL CALL lvl 3
CAST WHEN DMG TAKEN lvl 1
ANCESTRAL WARCHIEF lvl 20 (YOU CAST THIS YOURSELF ON BOSS FIGHTS)

GLOVES
CAST WHEN DMG TAKEN lvl 20
BLOOD RAGE lvl 20
MOLTEN SHELL lvl 20
ELEMENTAL WEAKNESS lvl 10-15 (depends on how much intel you have)
you can replace ELEMENTAL WEAKNESS for VAAL HASTE if you have curse on hit gloves, if you dont have the gloves then dont use vaal haste

---Weapon---

-Please refer to the levelling guide on what to use until you are level 62. (bottom of thread)

at level 62 use this weapon it is our endgame weapon so you may want to get the best rolls possible and add 20% quality. (your offhand will be a rare shield or lycosidae shield)



---Helmet---
Enchant: Wild strike chains 6 additional times enchant, dont bother with the other enchants.
your options for helmets are
-Rats nest (best for dps)
-Starkonja's head (good for more life)
-Devoto's devotion (usually cheap/2nd option to rats nest for dmg)


---Armour---
Tabula rasa

A Rare 6L with 5 Red, 1 Green socket, and any life/res roll

A 6L belly of the beast


---Boots---
Enchant: Adds # to # lightning damage if you havent killed recently
Kaom's roots

immune to, stun, freeze, temporal chains and 100-200 life :) make sure you use these as soon as you can they are an important part of the build.

---Amulet/Rings---
-Life rolls
-Resistance rolls
-------------------
any of these in combination.
-------------------
-Flat physical damage
-elemental damage with attacks.
-critical strike chance
-critical strike multiplier

(can be expensive if you add to many damage perks)

---Belt---
-90+ life (gained by high life and strength roll)
-60+ resistance
-elemental damage with attacks (check for open prefix and you can craft this yourself saving money)
-rustic sash is the best base belt as it gives us % physical damage
-Stygian vise can also be viable with a dps jewel added to it (flat phys/lightning/life/ect..)

---Shield---
Lycosidae Rawhide Tower Shield
This shield will grant you 100% accuracy rating, life, some cold damage, this is our end game shield, you can use a rare with resistances and life until you can afford one.


---Gloves---
-resistance rolls
-life rolls
-attack speed
-physical damage

aim for a pair of these to really enhance your dps and fun. they are a large contribution to end game content and work very well with the wise oak + penetration nodes we have :)

So there can be a lot of variation here but the main thing we want from a jewel is life
---------
-7% life
--------
and any of the following
-increased damage
-increased damage with claws
-attack speed
-attack speed with claws
-attack and cast speed
-chance to shock/shock duration

abyss jewels work too!
-40+ flat life
-physical damage
-lightning damage

possibly a thing
having +x energy shield on hit seems to 'absorb' random hits before our life pool can get hit so i recommend wearing at least 1 jewel with es on hit, im not sure if this is an exact science but from what i can see that is what is happening :)

This build depends on these flasks when it comes to being more tanky, if you comment negatively about the build and i see all your flasks are wrong, im just gonna facepalm and move on.

YOU MUST HAVE
- Immune to curses during flask effect (with 30%+ increased duration)
- Immune to bleeding during flask effect. (with increased 30%+ duration)
- A wise oak flask with perfect even resistances, if you cant even cap still use the flask.
- basalt flask, with % increased armour during flask effect.
- Atziri's promise, gives us a huge damage boost
^The Basalt flask takes care of physical damage, the wise oak takes care of elemental damage^



Basalt flask, this flask is so important and so are its mods, 7.2 secconds of physical damage reduction + % armour is insane and gives me around 40% physical damage reduction witch is vital for things like Izaro / Minotaur / Chimera



PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION
The wise oak is mandatory, it requires you to evenly cap your resistances in order to work.

if you do not even cap your resistance you are missing out on one of the main mechanics of the build, your damage and defence will be poop.

I usually cap it around Tier 7 maps you definitely want to have even cap for Tier 11+

all the information you need below :)



--How The wise oak flask works for this build--
-10% damage reduction to all elements if you cap all your resistances to the same.
-while giving 15% to all penetration if all your resistances are the same.


note: the number in brackets ( xx% ) can be any number but all 3 must be the same for the flask to function perfectly, i also recommend you dont go below 75% as you dont want to rely on this flask to stay resistance capped you just want its buffs :)

Pastebin:
My level 90 char @ 500k shaper dps

Grab Molten strike at level 1
add ancestral call at level 4
add any other gems you like till you are level 28 at level 28 switch to wild strike.
Refer to all my gem links above in the gem link section
here are the leveling items i used.



Buy a few 1c physical claws to fill this gap with the same implicit as this one below.
use any physical claws from around level 25-46


Use ornament of the east until you are level 62.

at level 62 buy the highest roll bloodseeker hellion's paw you can get, this is your endgame weapon.
