Notes

## Concept
- Damage over time from Reap and Exsanguinate are scalable by Spell Damage.
- Ravenous Passion turn Rage Attack Damage bonus into more Spell Damage.
- Berserker as the only class to gain Rage from range attack (those are enabled from small nodes so can't get it via Forbidden F/F in other Marauder's ascendancy).
- Poet's Pen casts both Reap and Exsanguinate alternatively, with extra utilities like Power/Frenzy/Culling based on triggering attacks (Power Siphon/Frenzy) and supports.
- Admiral's Arrogance fills rage bar quick, so we don't have to wait for the slow 2 rage per hit to generate.
- Berserker's other ascendancy nodes also grant increased Rage effect (which scales the more Spell Damage), and global More Damage via Aspect of Carnage.
- Get some regen and max fire resistance to sustain RF, for more Spell Damage.

## Requirement
- Ravenous Passion (Uber Eater of World)
- Poet's Pen (Rare but not expensive)
- The Squire (T0)
- Admiral's Arrogance (Settler league exclusive, should be global after league's end) - Only %chance mod is important

## Frenzy vs Power Siphon
- Frenzy have higher damage cap, and freeing up a jewel socket and a passive points
- Power Siphone have auto aiming + free culling strike

## Big Upgrade
- Circle of Guilt - Physical Damage + Buff Effect
- Unnatural Instinct and The Light of Meaning - Physical 
- Militant Faith - Dominus (if using Power Siphon)

## Notes
- Need to get leech from Watcher's Eye (vitality)( or Circle of Guilt's implicit (physical leech)
- Prioritise getting max fire resistance before the other, use harvest swap to reroll their value/elements
- Berserk is good PoB damage but sucks when automated, use only on full rage for a short burst of DPS.

## Notes for Reservation
- 2x jewels with 3% increase Mana Reservation Efficiency required for lv.3 enlighten; If using Enligthen lv.4, none are needed.
- Ravenous Passion with "socketed gems get a 90% reservation cost multiplier" is good before getting enlighten; Place Herald of Purity into it and use a jewel with 3% increased Mana Reservation Effeciency.
