That is interesting build but I know what Pohx would say, that you are much slower with cyclone than what he is doing.

Alur, I am confused about something with your build.

How are you using elemental equilibrium if your mainhand does fire damage?

so his cyclone does no elemental and then berek's gives it cold damage anyways?
it works like that? interesting

whelp, im copying it.
with a few twists. probably some different gear. but i will copy the brutality idea (thats really smart..) to use 2 dyadus

Not really, the main loss is that of a flask slot due to the Adrenaline Quicksilver. Notably I *can* also shieldcharge fast if I want to, but it's just slower and more clunky than simply running past packs at the gear I had. My endgame setup would be Brightbeak+RotP in one slot with a high dmg scepter & Dyadus in weaponswap (Doryanis works). At that point you do ~30% less damage than a Berserker while running through the map (the horror) while retaining 50% more dmg than him against bosses on top of the overall tankyness.

And if you'd pick Berserker for a Dyadus variant you're getting ~30% more damage out of it at high levels of gear compared to Juggernaut taking ~20% less. Glossing over the fortify effect & reduced damage taken like Pohx does and seeing Berserker strictly as "40% more done, 10% more taken" is pretty naive.

All the Berserker versions of this are imo strictly worse than any Dyadus Jugg or even Chieftain (more regen, easier Endurance charge sustain, less tanky) variant. The main reason to not pick this over Berserker is the Warcry heal, nothing else. That's definitely a good reason but also a debatable one for most scenarios, especially in HC, considering what you lose out on.

As for Alurrs DW version, he simply scales movespeed like crazy between Blood Dance, Adrenaline and Jugg passive while getting out wayyy more damage compared to Berserker with Brightbeak. Berserker without Brightbeak is strictly slower.

What stops you from going Berserker with 2x Drydus? That is way more damage than any other combination.

Takes 20% more and does 30% more compared to Jugg. Not a good trade.

How did you level the char? When did you switch into RF? Any specific tips on leveling? This looks too sweet to pass on completely, so I guess I'll give it a go with a couple of twists.. :>

I'm confused a bit by some of the math and builds: Glacial Cascade is physical with 60% to Cold and I saw that one build uses Hatred. So should I be looking for Phys damage or Elemental? I'm thinking especially on some of these jewel rewards.

Sort of on that topic: if you have multiple "Phys converted to X" type effects, can it go over 100%? Glacial Cascade is physical but then 60% of physical is converted to cold. But then a guide I'm looking at recommends linking the Phys dmg to Lighting support to it, which converts 50% physical to lightning. Does that mean:

a) "100% physical" -> 60% cold + 50% lightning + 0% phys
or
b) "100% physical" -> 60% cold + 40% lightning + 0% phys

... since there isn't "50% phys left to convert"... per se. Idk if I'm explaining this right, but just curious about how these sorts of mechanics work. With Hatred the idea of "gain %phys EXTRA as cold" makes sense, but converting is a bit confusing as far as which order things occur in.

Here, though, we have two skill gems, and skill gems are not supposed to get scaled according to the wiki. I think the main skill gem takes precedent and doesn't get scaled and then the support phys to lightning gets 100% of the remaining 40% (such that it would end up with 60% cold and 40% lightning).
