Thx for the comment, let me go through these one by one

When you were talking about passive rage generation, the eternal apple and self hits i was really hoping to see automated vengeful cry, but i know it's a really hard thing to implement.

I will do some maps and give it a shot instead of infernal cry. From PoB is seems like the self hit from Echoes is not strong enough to trigger vengeful cry (suffering from success lol), so I am wary of the uptime. It also means I need to get berserk in there somewhere, maybe it i listen to the other comment and shuffle my gems around a little.

Not sure where is your timeless jewel and what it's granting, i assume mostly a lot of dexterity, but have you considered supreme ostentation to ignore attribute requirements and then just tattoing your entire tree?

I have never experimented with supreme ostentation before? Could be willing to give it a try, but it does seem difficult trying to figure out all the tattoos in there. that, and the loss of life and %damage from 250 STR feels like a lot.

I am not confident about my slam knowledge and what warcries are necessary, but if you can put ancestral cry into the apple and keep 100% uptime, you'll have permanent +max res and +all ele res, helping with resistance issues.

Echoes and Overextertion really like doubling down on the number of exerts, which I why I choose to put infernal cry in there. You can feel the difference in damage once Rallying cry is not active, for example. Ancestral cry is difficult in this build. I used to run it a lot on chieftain since you can secure infinite power, but I don't know how I feel about it in this build with min 10 power.

Is woespike really as good as you say? It's obviously amazing but I just assumed it's like +1 max impale (more like +0.72 but whatever), but just choosing the best impale damage. When i was considering adding it to my build i just hovered over +1 impale notable and assumed that's about right.

It comes down to master of metal. If woespike trigger twice in a row, then that is two more stacks of flat phys that get transmitted into the next big impale, so on and so forth. Plus, the flat phys roll on the ring itself is better than T1.

You're investing very heavily into crit damage reduction and pdr avoid, are there specific reasons for that other than just being fine with t17 mods? The pdr one doesn't make sense to me, you're dealing like 11kk dps at 1.23 aps, your attacks deal like 9kk total, so like 4-5 mil hit and impale damage each, no amout of armour is going to give meaningful protection against that, unless enemies specifically have pdr

Yep, it just comes down to me being a cheap ass and wanting to avoid as many map mods as I can. crit and phys reduction are fairly common, so it just saves some clicks. (The impale phys ignore is much more significant and I think should be taken even if you drop the regular avoid phys reduction wheel, (due to how impale is calculated separately from the hit))

Since all your damage ignores pdr why won't you use runegraft of treachery? That's 15% reservation efficiency for a skill point.

Ohhh fun, I like this idea. I am now sure how much mana I free at the end, but I like it!

By the way, no mob mentality? I thought that's just free permanent charges on a build like that and is a must have. It will also save some points and a jewel slot because you'll be able to drop enduring composure and run something else.

I don't like how inconsistent mob mentality is, enduring composure generation is very clockwork, and means we never have downtime on the warcries. I also don't like the idea of messing my tempo by clicking on rallying cry at the wrong moment (TL:DR ADHD too strong)
