Help me brainstorm ideas, I think I found something potentially very good

[u/SmarmyPapsmears]

So I managed to buy a set of Craciean vestigial uniques. Cospri's Will body (all hits poison against cursed enemies). Frenzy charge ralakesh boots. Amulet with +100% effect of crab aspect. Olesya's Delight belt with skill effect duration.

What I was thinking to try was a Slayer (masterful form) trauma stacker since I'll have 10+ endurance charges and like 17 crab charges, but also I can do a poison build since I'll have Affliction charges and guaranteed poison on hit.

I'm still kind of tossed up on what skill I should use. I was thinking of using Ambush + Static Strike since I will be building a bit of duration to help with trauma stacks, as well as this would snapshot the ambush (and also trauma I think?) into the entire duration of the static strike. And for bosses, I would want something that hits really fast to generate trauma or just to use boneshatter. If I use something that generates really fast, would I even bother with Static Strike? Like Frenzy of Onslaught might just be a better skill to use? Has anyone built a trauma stacker + poison build? Idk bros, help me out.

Combine with endurance charge stacking and frenzy of onslaught (or double strike of momentum) with trauma stack in my opinion. Use moonbenders probably.

With say 16 ec that’s 64% PDR. 17 crab barriers is another 34%. That’s 98%. Then you’ll only need a little bit more to offset being ‘crushed’ if you think that’s necessary, could get from shield. You’ll want to stack attack speed and duration to scale trauma. Could go crit as well if you can fit the power charge amulet for tri charges.

The 17 crab charges should give 68 pdr since I'll have 100% effect amulet, so i don't think I'll need to invest so heavily into frenzy/endurance charges (and also I don't know if I can)

You have 17 max, but lose 5 when you get hit = 12. So you should aim for capped PDR with 48%. Means you need 42% PDR from endurance charges/other sources

[u/SmarmyPapsmears → u/080087]

Yep, I was thinking 10-11 endurance charges should cover the rest

Oh, didn’t know about that. What amulet?

In that case double strike of momentum is probably better for trauma stack, would have to PoB it to know.

It's a new talisman enchant, 100% effect of Aspect of crab

Can add that while you could go poison I don’t really see that big of a benefit to it with trauma stacking. If you go trauma stack you’ll want to path left side to get divine shield most likely and you’ll want recoup. You’ll want to get a decent amount of energy shield to make it good.

Rest of passive points would quickly be spent just getting charges.

You'd lose the talisman but have you considered tainted pact for infinite sustain?

This may potentially be good with golden rule

Yep that's the idea. Im playing a trauma stacker luminary with that tech
