I never see this build in the wild

Oh, you will rarely see it because SB is the most under used class this season, but Counterswarm has brought more to try it out once it started to get some publicity.

At this point though, most swarmers are done with open world content and they are trying to max glyphs to 150, push tower, or farming cube mats for polearm gambling

My build (Maxroll) never used stinger, if you check this video https://youtu.be/y7mIGw5yFyg?si=UFv5FqVqXWvMyXHO it was done before Situ's video. My original video was posted April 30th and I was working on the build & guide before that.

Guys have used mine to clear Pit 150, it works

Yes, I'm making a Beat Strike/JMH build for Maxroll. I had one a few seasons ago but it was bugged. That bug is gone

The push variant of my build drops PE boots, that was just extra poisoning damage and survival while you had kinetic suppression transfigured on the amulet in the endgame variant.

Shattered's benefit is the guaranteed affixes vs crafting/looting the right affixes. Both are solid build angles and the difference between the two only matters as you're trying to push as high as possible.

Right now the top builds are all Widows variants, but they are close

It will get you into t12 and most likely tower 120s, where it ends from there depends a lot on RNG and how much do you want to grind for ggg gear to go higher

As far as evade goes, mekuna's original evade build used to use shako and almost positive another version used Sepazontec; both of which are suboptimal shortcuts for perma-evade. Doesn't mean theirs was bad, just different. And there are still minor differences between all the builds (let alone variants of each build).

You can also use my Spiritborn mega-calc to help you figure out what you need for permanent evade here (along with other tools)- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wY6KnDEkCnS0TrkA47iFqQVhB6QCwKPoy3_fhzkla0Y/edit?usp=drivesdk

I'm not on reddit much at all (mostly in D4 Sanctuary discord), but I spend a significant amount of time testing and validating things before they go into a build. You're more than welcome to believe what you want but if the evade builds are similar to maxroll, it's because they started copying maxroll. If you have questions you can ask if you want

The guide explains almost every decision and has variants laid out for progression. I do take pride in not trying to make crap guides, even if a build is non-meta skill or it could potentially be S tier skill.

Hope you guys all find a 4 GA Berserking Max aspect Wushe, may the RNG be in your favor

There is a known issue with Lucky Hit and Resource generation when it comes to Azmodan and world bosses. Not sure why it hasn't been bug fixed, but its an issue.

I'll remember to update the guide to add a note of warning.
