DOT Spider build

I'm looking for a second opinion on this build. I'm using Frenzy to build bleed and poison stacks, Bite to refresh, and Massacre for big damage. Any feedback is appreciated.

    If your crit chance is high enough, maybe use Relentless over Supernatural Power?

    Maybe Thrash over Conviction?

    Overall look like a good build.

    As jaazaniah1 mentioned, you may want to swap out the Supernatural Power EU for something like Relentless. High energy cost powers like Massacre can stall or kind of sputter with Supernatural Power. There's a bit of lag with Supernatural Power refreshing your energy.

    I would consider dropping the Quills advantage from Antagonize and taking Rank 3 instead. Quills is a little underwhelming for me and I think you'd get more out of having a Rank 3 block.

    You could also consider swapping out Conviction with Endorphin Rush but Conviction and Thrash are good too.

    For Specializations, you could swap out the Vindicator tree for the Brawler tree. Looking at Penetrating Strikes in particular but both trees are good. Just be mindful that the Vindicator Aggressive Stance specialization only bases it's Defense bonus off of Offense from gear. Offense boosts, like The Best Defense, won't contribute to Aggressive Stance. If you're gearing mostly for Critical Chance/Severity, it may be worth investing the points from Aggressive Stance to The Rush of Battle.

    Depending on your travel power, you could consider spending some points on Pounce advantages; Furious Rush and/or Nailed to the Ground.

    If you have decent End and Rec then Supernatural Power can be okay to use here (End can help w the proc threshold, which is nice for more expensive powers), assuming you use Frenzy_Bite enough w/ Massacre, but you can always test the rotation in the PTS/PH w/ different stats before rolling it out or trying a different EU (like Relentless). It may also be nice to add Shred w/ adv in for Shredded (instead of LNL), but it's up to you if you want to make room for it (also up to you if you want to replace Conviction w/ ERush or Thrash, or even Life Essence if keeping Supernatural Power). And yea you should prob pass on the Quills adv (don't necessarily have to get R3 instead), and I may get a different self-res that Rebirth (due to the self-dmg). Most of the rest of build looks okay to me, considering the concept.
