Noticed you didn't try to grab Tribal Fury (or annoint it). Is it too far away? I feel like it would give so much QoL that its too important to pass off. Also, how come onslaught ascendancy over frenzy charge ascendancy?

i tried leveling it from lvl 2 with GH and it was....painful. lol
i had to do a CA trickster just to feel myself again, but im really really looking forward to crafting gear for this dude.

i tried other slam skills too, ice crash, sunder, tectonic, etc and they all felt like garbo compared to glacial hammer.

one thing that does SUCK about GH though, that i came to find out from playing the build, is that the 33% freeze cull does NOT work on bosses (i think all unique names), which is very unfortunate


but its awesome to see you're still kickin around man! thanks for commenting

i don't believe tribal fury is worth the points at all, or the anoint. though you could anoint it if you felt like it.
ancestral cry is up 100% of the time. if you feel like you need another you can grab it. with the aoe from the threshold jewel it doesn't feel necessary but i also haven't done much with the build yet.

and onslaught ascendancy is the best ascendancy in the game. it gives +30% evade chance which is absolutely bonkers insane and allows raider to pretty easily hit evade cap (95%).

so just to explain, you have an evade chance and an evasion rating. both show in your character defense screen.
for instance you could have 20,000 evasion rating. this could give you, say, 60% evade chance.
to gain 30% more evasion RATING would only boost you to 26,000 evasion rating, which might only be....like 62 or 64% evade chance. but avatar of the chase gives you 30% more evade CHANCE which means you gain 60+30%=78% evade chance.
keep in mind that blind is an automatic 50% chance to evade (65% with raider/onslaught)

the frenzy route is pretty lackluster as well. doesn't really boost damage significantly, and kind of dictates that you spent points and gear gathering more max frenzy charges.
if anything you could drop avatar of the veil for it, but i chose to go the tanky route, so missing out on 10% attack and spell dodge + phasing + immunity to ailments + minus accuracy to nearby enemies isn't worth it either.
