*Hellfire amulet = Grab Berserker Rage as the 5th passive

*Rings = Obsidian in cube / Both rings should have crit chance, crit damage, and a socket. 1 ring should have 6-7 attack speed and the other should have average damage (if ancient) strength (if not.) You need a total of 13 attack speed + swiftness gem for the 6.67 dust devil per sec breakpoint. So if your gloves have 6 your ring need 7 and vise versa.

*Bracers = Using attack speed bracers/gloves is also an option for getting 13+ attack speed with 2 pieces of gear.

Build Guide

Hey what's up chainer here from twitch.tv/chainerfails

Feel free to stop by my live stream if you have any questions or just want to hang out.

Whirlwind - Blood Funnel

Your main source of damage comes from the added effect to whirlwind from 6 piece Wrath of the Wastes

(Whirlwind spawns Dust Devils that deal 2500% damage)

The rate of dust devils you spawn are based on attack speed breakpoints meaning until you reach the next pre-determined ammount of attack speed your dust devils rate will not increase. Use this to calculate you're attack speed breakpoints http://whirlwinner.herokuapp.com/

Don't forget to add in all your buffs with the calculation.

Bul-kathos wepons increase your movespeed + attack speed while casting this so constantly whirlwind all the time even when there are no mobs. Whirlwind will also gain you stacks of taeguk (0.5% damage/armor per tick of whilrwind) and maintain the buff so long as you don't let go of whirlwind for more than 3 seconds.

Battle Rage - Bloodshed

Standard Damage buff. Can be repetitively used to increase the buff from your Taeguk gem (0.5% armor/damage after spending resource)

The new Threatening Shout: Falter is technically more damage but it is a cooldown and will eat into your obsidian ring of the zodiac which you are using to keep high uptime on Wrath of the Berserker. Obsidian ring of the Zodiac lowers a random cooldown by one second every time you hit with whirlwind so it is important to try and keep wrath of the berserker as your only spell on cooldown (Warcry is the only exception)

Sprint - Marathon

Standard Movement Speed skill. Movement speed gets you through rifts/bounties faster, so increasing movement speed with skills Sprint will net you faster clear times overall over using damage buffs.

War Cry - Impunity

Another Movement Speed skill. This one requires the mighty belt Chilanik's Chain. This belt gives you 30%-40% movement speed after casting warcry for 10 seconds. Cast every 10 seconds.

Furious Charge - Merciless Assault

This is a really nice skill to have slotted for multiple reasons. First of you will be using the ring set Focus & Restraint which increase your damage by 50% for 5 seconds when using a resoruce spending attack (Whirlwind) and another 50% increase when using a resource generating attack (Furious Charge.) So generally you Sprint/Warcry to run thru the empty part of the maps and than when you see mobs you charge > whirlwind > repeat after 5 seconds. So Furious Charge here is great damage and great mobility. Mostly everything dies in less than 5 seconds with good gear so you mostly recast furious charge for a quick position on the next pack to kill than sprint/warcy when there are no mobs left. You do not have to worry about Furious Charge dipping into your Wrath of the Berserker uptime because the rune mercilees assault resets the cooldown when you hit 3-5 mobs (depending on your cooldown -1 mob for every 20 cooldown you have.)

Wrath of the Berserker - Insanity

Standard Damage Cooldown. This also gives you 25% attack speed helping you get up to the 6.67(used in this build) Dust Devil Breakpoints that I talked about under whirlwind. Recast when ever this is up. High up time on this skill comes from obsidian ring of the zodiac (also explained under Whirlwind.)
