[3.16] General's Cry Blade Flurry Build | Berserker | Scourge | Path of Exile 3.16

Does anyone have any suggestions to improve my build? Trying to do 2man hp "The Hidden" but sometimes I can't manage to kill the Breachlords quickly enough so they end up killing me instead (they do a LOT of dmg with 70%+ quant). The main problem is staying close so the General's can cast BF but staying close near Breachlords is very risky since they one-shot you and I can't seem to find a solution for better survivability.

Trying to get the skill rotation correct in my mind ATM, so just wanting to check as only been playing the build 2 days but feels solid so far.

Use rage whenever it's up to mitigate damage.
Cyclone and just hit generals cry near enemies and for regaining health.
Dash to quick move between packs and Vaal ancestral whenever it's up in packs I guess?

You do the opposite, at least I do, with Cyc/General. You hold down the General's Cry key down all the time to generate Onslaught, Frenzy/Power/Endurance charges and rage. Only cyclone when near enemies or if you need corpses.
Love your build, tweaked it a bit to my liking and I definitely don't do as much damage but got some toughness. Also still have some upgrades to make.

At one point I was running a crab chest piece and breathstealers anointed with charisma. It let me run aspect of the crab instead of dread banner, and if anyone is looking for a really tanky version of this build I highly recommend it. I think I used a mana reserve amulet or helmet too. I will say with the crab chest I was able to beat the hall of grandmasters which probably isn't saying much but it's the only time I've done it.

Here's the gear I have now and it's a blast, rips through bosses even with not as much dps.

Interested in the build and was wondering how it fairs against something like Maven? It seemed a little on the squishy side of things against phase bosses and I was looking for a maven/boss farming build with decent mapping speeds
This build looks awesome. How successful do you think it could be at 10ex?
Thank you for this build.
I got some lucky drops in the form of a 21/23 BF and Awakened Melee Phys, so I i thought this would be good.
As I am looking for a bossing char only, are there any optimisations to the build and gear that one would make?
One of your jewels in the POB has increased damage with 2 handed weapons, but you're wearing a 1H Sword. Is this mod useless or does it have some interaction with the general's cry?

I have pretty good/good gear I'd say but not incredible, and I've been able to kill Maven first try without having ever watched the fight, without knowing anything at all about the phases. The build is that good.
If you know the fight then you'll probably manage to farm it consistently, maybe deathless.

Awakener 9, The Feared, Uber Atziri, nothing is a problem with this build. Even if you die or play bad you'll probably deal enough damage to finish the fight before running out of portals anyway.

This build is incredibly fun, strong and fast. Even mapping is decent with sand stance, Onslaught, berserk, blitz charges etc., clear speed is really ok.

Thanks to wishdropper for the build, I had a blast with it this league.
