So, it's 1 in 8k to roll a 5B1G Cherrubim's Dark Pact- but why roll it at all?

If we're looking at the build it's 80% Damage and upto 100 Life right?

is 80% Increased damage ever better than a support gem?

Probably not right? So then why use this chest piece?

My argument chest piece:



The difference between level 15 and 20 Added chaos is
Flat - 99 to 148 +10% increased Chaos Damage
&
Flat - 170 to 256 +10% Increased Chaos Damage
(70% Increase in damage vs level 15 +10% Inc = 80%)

So the total increased damage is 70% + 80% + 10% (160% Increased damage vs 1 Socket)

So- being that we gain another link- what could possibly be more than 160% Increased Damage?

What about the Poison Gem? Mind you- this would be single target, so it's not an average hit upgrade- but this would give you 60% Chance to poison- and to my understanding of the skill now- you can get 5% Chance to poison on hit with jewels. Meaning you need 8 jewels to get 100% Chance to poison for a 119% MORE damage per second. But, if you're casting 6-7 times per second and poison caps out at 20 stacks. 60% Might be fine?

10% Increased life is usually about 108 life (54 life per 5%)(108 Life per 5% for my build)(So, it's double the health in my case)

It removes mana from the equation, which isn't a big deal for Berserkers- but this opens other paths for self-cast dark pact users.
has Energy shield(?? Eldrich Battery Options)(Maybe some EB MoM Shenanigans?)

Ontop of it all, you only need 2 off-color? vs 5?

i'd never go for cherrubim with dark pact, because colors are too hard to get

either go covenant or go carcass jack (which is probably the best option anyways)

carcass jack is shit no survivability whatsoever and aoe increase is negligible at best, and area dmg is meh
