Mercenary
Gemling LegionnaireEnjoy 1 button full screen explosions ?
We run around releasing pulses with 
Infernal Cry and Paquate's Pact causing monsters to explode.
For bossing we send out a few pulses, run around the boss until it hits +-30% Hp and then we 1 tap it with 
Blood Hunt
Give it a try, its definitely worth it !

There are 3 ways that we can scale damage on this build.
+ levels is the most important
+% Global damage or Global Physical damage
+% increased damage with war cry's
Our Sources of + levels are : 
Fireflower
Atziri's Splendour
Saitha's Spear
Sunsplinter (max res: 3 fire, 2 cold, 1 lightning)
Prism of Belief - +3 Infernal Cry
Get as many of these as you can afford, the build will still work if you are missing a few + levels but will feel much better the more you can get.
Your Global damage modifiers will mostly come from 
Ruby.
You need Global Physical damage and war cry damage rolls.
The order of priority for jewels is :
- Global physical damage
- Increased damage with war cry's
- War Cry cooldown recovery rate - Effects the cooldown of Infernal Cry.
- War Cry Speed - Effects how quickly the Infernal Cry animation happens, like attack speed on a normal build.
- Increased armor
- Increased life regeneration rate
Get Jewels with the best mods you can afford. They make a big difference for DPS. 
Killjoy Will also help a lot with early damage as its doubling your explosions.
Our Survivability is all about stacking as much raw HP as possible.
You get extra life from your ascendancy based on how many motes you have. Make sure you have at least 14 red motes but push for 16. Motes come from your ascendancy 
Essence of Virtue which gives 
Virtuous Barrier.
You can get Flat HP on your ring, boots and helmet.
Ward is basically the same as life so you can get ward on your ring too using the alloy. Prism of Belief +3 Infernal Cry is very very good but be careful on the pricing they are often price fixed. 
Rite of Passage (BEAR) is not required but is nice for some extra tankyness 
Crown of the Victor is a good budget option for the helmet until you can get a crafted rare.
If you need help with the crafting or want me to craft one for you hit me up in game MT_Viking.
The rare helmet is a pricey craft but worth it if you have the funds.
Important socketables :
Helmet - 
Emergent Vigour if you have a rare helmet
Armor - 
Soul Core of Tacati if your chaos res is low or 
Soul Core of Jiquani if you are chaos capped.
Gloves - 
Courtesan Mannan's Rune of Cruelty
Boots - 
Farrul's Rune of the Chase and 
Rune of Acrobatics are my choices for speed

How it Plays
Recap :
- Use Infernal Cry which gets echoed 3 times by Echoing Cry as your main DPS
- Use Seismic Cry if you get into any risky situations with low HP. ( it consumes your endurance charges for no cooldown)
- Use Blood Hunt once the boss reaches 30% HP
- Pop into stream, Viking0071, if you need any additional help
- Message in game if you want to copy my helmet MT_Viking
