Wow I am also bored of my bane pf, and am considering this build too. Could you share some experience and perhaps budget advice? I have less than 50 ex and not sure that's enough to phase Maven easily?

This build does do pretty insane damage even at low gear. IMO phasing maven instantly isn't required, but you can certainly get to the point where she gets 1-2 abilities off.
I killed her by basically sacrificing a life to each memory phase.

Things I've learned:

-Explodey Chest helps if you have it for some other reason, but since it only triggers if you kill something with cyclone, it's hardly necessary (I was ground slam before)

-Fortify Boots are nice, but if you've got a good pair already and just want to try this out, fortify in the links is fine.

-Cluster Jewels are important, but they're not too expensive. Furious Assault/Iron Breaker/Master the Fundamentals is ~80c, Kitava's Teachings is like 2c, and Some combination of Unwavering Focus/Precise Focus/Mob Mentality/Warning Call/Lead by Example wasn't too bad for me either.

-The rest is just Generic Rares which you can upgrade over time if you feel like this is for you. Diedbellow is a great budget helm, for eg.

You can make a shopping list with everything you need and price it out, but my gut tells me you'll be fine unless "less than 50 ex" means like 2 :P

Thanks a lot. Haha of course I mean real close to 50 ex, I can farm and pay more but at least I need something to work reliably at end game first. Im leveling now with basic hollow palm + random melee skill.

Abyssus with enchant is so pricey, but it seems many run rare helm with enchant. I wonder which option is better, non enchant abyssus or enchant rare helmet?

When do you think I should respec to the main setup?

Leveled up the Champion version of this. Just starting to get into maps but how are you supposed to utilize Berserk and generate rage if on the Champion? I'm trying to learn the play style. Do we use Blood Rage for mapping or just on the boss?

Personally a +1 minion normal helmet is enough. You don't really need a +1 Abyssus in order to instant phase bosse. Also Abyssus makes build squishy, remember that we don't really invest in defenses on Passive Trees, only more damage, less warcry cooldown and life. (Warcry cooldown is really important for this build, even in PoB it shows no difference in DPS)

And yeah 50ex is already more than enough to destroy all bosses.
