Notes

> TATTOOS (IMPORTANT) <
For this build you want to stack a lot of the "10% increased warcry cooldown recovery rate" tattoos, try to get your warcry cooldown to about half your corrupting cry duration(so to like 1.1-1.2s)

> PLAYSTYLE <
Bind General's Cry to left click, walk around, everything dies. Proc Adrenaline every 20 seconds with Corrupting Fever.
When something doesn't die click Reap + Vulnerability.
When something still doesn't die click Vaal Reap.

> CALCULATIONS OF DAMAGE <
PoB doesn't have support for Corrupting Cry yet as of writing this PoB, to compensate for this I looked at the % difference between Corrupting Fever and Corrupting Cry numbers and added those in config.
One thing to keep in mind though is that any +1 all skill gems or +1 all phys skill gems mods won't work on Corrupting Cry, if you add any of those on gear make sure to lower Corrupting Fever level by 1 each time. 

> CRAFTING GLOVES <
1. Get gloves with suppress fractured(if not the next step might require multiple attempts)
2. Use an essence of Delirium(until suppress if you skipped step 1)
3. Suffixes cannot be changed -> veiled chaos. If no open prefix for Suffixes Cannot Be Changed you'll have to annul first
4. Check on craftofexile what your best mod to craft is for blocking
5. Unveil +2 aoe hopefully

> LEVELING <
We level with Spectral Throw, then overlevel a lot in Chambers of Innocence to be able to switch to Phys DoT.
The leveling in this build is pretty painful and not really something solved yet, if you're in trade league or this is your second build just level with something else and respec into it when in maps

For Spectral Throw leveling we want to use basic 2H axe/sword leveling strats, make sure you take Adrenaline in normal lab and proc it with Corrupting Fever - Lifetap

For the Phys DoT switch overlevel in Chambers of Innocence in act 5 and make even more sure you use Adrenaline. Try to pick up a minion wand and shield for damage.

> CHOICES/PROBLEMS <
What do I annoint early on?
Early on you can annoint suppress, for example Instinct is pretty cheap

Grace vs Malevolence
I feel like the build is tanky enough while mapping with just a Jade flask, if it's not though make sure to swap out Malevolence and swap in Grace(and be ready for the dex requirements)

Explosions?
We don't hit, so explosions are really hard to get(can't bleed mobs for example). We do get a lot of AoE on our General's Cry though, so it's fine

Any other warcries? 
Technically you can have perma uptime on other warcries, but General's Cry has the shortest cooldown by far, and cooldown will be key for clearspeed.

Can't you save 1 point at Escalation by pathing the other way around?
Warcry duration scales Corrupting Cry duration, so you want to grab it for some nice uptime

Frenzy charges?
Either blood rage or a frenzy maim setup

My warcry cooldown is too slow to clear with properly
Early on you can use an Eternal Apple unique shield to get shorter warcry cooldown, after that you want to try and get as many 10% warcry cooldown tattoos as possible.
