No problem and thanks for the compliment.

Now, on the topic of Channeling Builds, they are definitely viable for Hysteria but are a completely different situation from the other builds because you need to watch your energy considerably closer and there is alot more preferwence due to balancing DPS against Energy Drain. So, sorry I'm not going to do a nice list of builds like I did for non-channeling because there are just way too many combinations of QOL Mods and Channeling Mods. I will however give you advice on the Channeling mods and how to build a good mod to your preferences.

First, looking at all the chnneling mods. Quickening is just not worth it, you have Fury and Berserker to use and the decrease in efficiency is just too big for the tiny gain. Life Strike isn't useful for a Hysteria build as you'll be invulnerable and draining health anyway. Enduring Strike isn't particularly useful as status chance is very low to begin with and you want to avoid lowering the channeling efficiency. Parry isn't useful either because of the limited number of melee enemies and already being invulnerable. What's left in the useful pool is Killing Blow, Corrupt Charge, True Punishment, Reflex Coil and Focus Energy.

When making a Channeling build Killing Blow should be first priority then balance out your Damage to Drain ratio using the other 4. Making one of the builds above and replacing some or all of the QOL mods with Channeling mods will have good results. If you want to use a combination of 3 QOL and'or Channeling mods then use the build; Pressure Point, True Steel, Organ Shatter, 2 90% Elemental, 3 QOL.
