Brome; a build critique

Let's analyze this build [updated to be more analysis and basically no quotes b/c it caused a post issue]. It has a lot of good points, don't know if I can argue with [much of] them. The article in question: https://www.ofzenandcomputing.com/all-characters-absolum-builds/

I'm interested in the skill+direction Drill Rush part... I've definitely used it a ton in the later stages of the game (end of the undead area, etc.). Drill, neutral Skill burst, Drill back the other way repeat is great in many cases. Also great to get past a lot of junk in that undead boss area. 

BTW, List of all inspirations they say: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3590526648

For the analysis, here we go on Brome's (and I like their Cider info too. I don't want to keep reading though, b/c it'll squash my creativity). 

 https://www.ofzenandcomputing.com/all-characters-absolum-builds/ quoting [OK quoting less b/c they didn't like over quoting I guess, sorry about that]:

Rage Barrage for Arcana. Drill rush for hit and run. Resonance Field and Battle Rage (incr. dmg when combo counter incr.). 

Rituals: Mana Flow (more mana with incr. combo count). Lightning Skill for chain lightn. Firey Arcana for a burning ring when using Arcanas. 

Trinkets... they think Brome's drill will do more damage with the Juggernaut Helmet (running attacks do more). That's cool, I was specifically wondering that recently and wanted to test it. They like Jaroba Oil for him, but I'm still undecided on that. It seems like the more I play & better I get, the more the sliding of the oil messes me up. But on a relaxed run with an OP build, probably fine. Tentacle charm... well not so much, the speed runner (almost speed runners) seem to avoid it in favor of other things. Mana ring - yeah always love it. 

For advanced tips, they say use drill rush for positioning, and I totally agree. Try to keep combo counter on big numbers, that's sort of a given but not always convenient... I say stay kinda loose there for the fun factor. They like Brom in coop when the other guy can group up monsters so you can AoE -> sure thing, but then what do others do that groups up monsters? Maybe... ... ... just knocking them back with Arcanas (Javeline bolt?) or lots of hit hit hit melee.
