Date: 07/12/2018

Welcome to my quick guide for the Path of Exile Beserker Sunder build! Note: The gameplay footage shown is by a level 64 beserker.

Spells 4:24
Gear 4:55
Passives 5:45
Pantheons 7:11
Gems 7:29

Berserker as an ascendancy exchanges defense for increases in offense with passives such as 10% more damage taken for 40% more increased damage! Sunder scales really well into endgame which result in killing bosses in no time while levelling.

Pros:
+ Easy Damage Scaling
+ FAST
+ Feels Smooth to Play
+ Solo Self Found Friendly
+ Cheap to Gear
+ No League Specific Uniques Required!

Cons
- You get fucked by damage reflect 
- No Regen mods (if running Vaal Pact)
- Less Recovery is Annoying
- Less defence for more offence

The build is also EXTREMELY flexible with gear and you really feel each upgrade.

Your primary defense mechanism will be high life leech on hit which when paired with infinite mana leech (from passive nodes) keeps you at max hp when fighting bosses and holding down right click. Remember to cap out resistances (cold/fire/lightning) at 75%!

First of all, how do you level with sunder? 

1. Pickup the highest base damage 1-handed axe you can find that you can find for dual-wielding. Then apply the whetstone recipe:
Weapon x1 Blue or rare
Rustic sash x1
Blacksmiths whetstone x1

2. Focus on increasing resistances early on, followed by life. Two Stone and moonstone yellow rings give decent % res and other stats, look out for them!

3. Gem setup while levelling can be as follows. Feel free to experiment while levelling to see what fits you!

Level 1 
Molten strike + onslaught + chance to bleed  + ruthless

Level 4 ish?
Pickup the ancestral protector from Nessa as a reward from the quest Breaking Some Eggs in act 1, it has great single target dps and melts bosses.

Level 10+
Equip leap slam. Any amount of attack speed makes leap slam animation faster than base run speed (great when linked to faster attacks support)

Level 12+
Molten strike for sunder (quest reward from Nessa from The Siren's Cadence in act 1).
Add maim and added fire damage supports for 5th and 6th links if using the chestpiece Tabula Rasa (has 6 linked slots ideally) 

Level 16+
Equip Herald of Ash (bonus elemental damage on hit) and replace maim with melee physical damage support
Link maim to ancestral protector/warchief/golem later as they will proc it for you
Add blood rage (green gem) A great attack speed and life leech buff.

Level 18+
Add concentrated effect support to sunder
Add faster attacks to leap slam

Level 24+ 
Add hatred to sunder (cold damage on hit bonus) Great with Herald of Ash

Level 31+ 
Add fortify to leap slam

Level 34+
Add stone golem (life regen)

Level 38+
Replace onslaught with multistrike, this when paired with high attack speed and high global physical damage melts anything infront of you in a long shotgun aoe!

SUNDER-FASTER ATTACKS-MELEE PHYS DAM-CONC-RUTHLESS-MULTISTRIKE

Some good weapons for Sunder (Look for anything with attack speed +global physical damage)

Main hand:

+ Flesh-Eater (mace) - Level 32+ Gives everything you need including life leech and bleed chance

+ Rigwald's Command (axe) - Dmg, block and frenzy generation

+ Callinellus Malleus (mace) - Stun https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Callinellus_Malleus

+ Soul Taker - Level 59+ High attack speed and % cold resistance

NOTE: In betrayal, your off-hand weapon type counts towards the requirement of sunder (maces/axes/staffs only) as well as your main hand so the following previously solid picks can't be used:

- Prismatic Eclipse (sword) - 12% attack speed for each green socket (counts both weapons) or 25% global physical damage for each red socket. Insane and my personal favourite.
- Tempestuous Steel (sword)
- The Princess Sabre (sword)

This could see more people use two handed weapons such as:
+ The Wideswing - Level 18+
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Wideswing

+ The Cauteriser - Level 40+
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Cauteriser

+Marohi Erqi - Level 57+  Huge stun and physical damage increase

+ Kaom’s Primacy - Level 58+ One of the highest physical damage weapons for leveling
