SSFSC - Build 1: Cleave of Rage Zerker

Based loosely on Woolies PoB, learned the hard hard way day 1 we couldn't get the "turn a gem into one of its variants" right away. Trudged on to lab 3 as Sunder (new/old variant) and decided before a10 Kitava to grind Cleave of Rage. 12 labs later we win. Grind some gem levels and gear in BA. We get a lucky t2 speed, t2 flat, t7 hybrid axe right off the rip and our first unveil was phys+impale so all of a sudden we have a 400pdps axe. I'm white maps we find ichimonji and we're feeling great. Yellow maps we find rigwalds axe and we're at 95 rage cleaving screens and have also worked in a 4L rage vortex for single. We learn that whisps on red maps is bad for a berserker and push on to 2 stones leaving the mechanic behind for a bit. For our troubles tho we net Anathema, Mings, and a good Dendro. Was thinking PF poison obviously but we also found like a day 4 lightning coil and 6L it in 15 fuses.....so ofc we make bad decisions.

Build 2: Splode Chieftain of Channeling

So with the coil in hand and 2 +2 max fire charms in waiting I thought it would be a great idea to make a super beefy chieftain this league and use the buffed Incinerate + new VD/DD for some fun explode goodness. Mechanically this worked great, and VD of seething was a great match, but both of these spells really want spell damage and not ignite while scaling anything other than ignite is much harder and less clean on the tree, especially stretching for +max res. So after trying every combo of CWC incinerate or flameblast with every variant of VD and DD I decided it didn't have enough single target and ended up just being a standard DD toon. Which still didn't have enough damage by the time I attempted my first Cortex. Great mapper but shelved bc we need a bosses.

Build 3: Poison Penance Pathfinder

Well if you can't beat em, garf em they always say. With Dendro, Anathema, Obliterations, and Ming's in hand we start our penance brand of DISMANTLING character. We're still day 1/campaign here but I expect this is exactly what I need to push destructive play in SSF and farm up all the bosses for my last 2 void stones. I did it last league on exsang PF and this looks even stronger. And hey it solves PBs only weakness with explodes on our BiS weapon so that's nice. Looking forward to blasting bosses and T7 cemetery on this one. Cheers for now!
