Just ripped mine for the last time. I really started to hate this build for a few reasons.

1. Warcry power is simply not consistent depending on proximity to the mobs. You have to be right on top of them and in the current meta with the aura stacked projectiles that's a death trap.
2. Everything revolves around you not being at max rage. This might seem fine on paper but in practical terms you as a berserker rely heavily on being max rage for the movement and attack speed which we know if you don't have in the current meta you are a dead man walking.
3. The vortex will sometimes go where you want and sometimes go in a completely different direction. Maybe bugged? Maybe slightly being off on the cursor who knows. It's just not good.

My summary of rage vortex is that it's situationally good against bosses but there are far better primary skills to choose from.

First two problems can be easily solved if you follow the build guide. You simply need to use that shield and rage problem is no more.

I don't want to use a shield. Let's call it ascendency fantasy.

I like berserker being a fast and hard hitting ascendency WITH 2 handed weapons.

I realize nothing is perfect but yeah. If you are sword and board and you have redblade banner, rage vortex probably isn't bad.

If not, it's not great.
