5L RRRR R or B
GroundSlam , melee physical, blood magic, multistrike, added fire or conc effect
(switch to conc effect after getting amplify passive)

Conc effect will increase the dps greatly over added fire, but the range will be slightly shorter with amplify passive (18% reduced) which isn’t a big issue when you play solo as all the mobs will be right up in your face anyway.

4L RRGG
LeapSlam, blood magic, faster attacks, temp chains

4L RRRR
cast on dmg taken, immortal call, increased duration, Molten shell
(use a level 19 cwdt, as it is a multiplier of 440 so that the 2 cwdt sync together nicely, although this is not a big deal if levelled to 20)

4L RGGR
Reduce mana, hatred, grace, herald of ash
(running these 3 auras will require a level 16 or so reduced mana and the sovereignty passive and 4% reduced nodes. At level 19 reduced mana u can respect to aura effect for slightly stronger auras. )

4L RRGG
Cast on dmg taken, enduring cry, increased duration, vaal haste
(level 1 cwdt, level 5 enduring)

3L RBB (mace with int and cast speed)
blood magic, enfeeble, inc aoe

(I like to be able to run enfeeble with a weapon swap, to do this you will need int, as there is hardly any on the passive tree. Its extremely useful on hard hitting bosses like kole or flicker spiders, having this curse is a real life saver and makes the harder bosses much much easier.)

3L RRG (shield with int)
haste, determination, warlords mark

(its always good to be flexible with auras, if in a group with someone running hatred, you can switch to haste for more speed, or switch off herald of ash and hatred for determination if you need added defence.)

The gear is fairly cheap, although my gear is roughly 4-5 exalts worth on beyond. I had equally good and viable gear setup with 1-2 chaos items, the addition of masters makes gearing for resistances extremely easy and cheap. Also majority of players don’t play groundslam in this league so finding a high dps mace isn’t so hard. I bought a 460 dps one for 1 chaos, the one im currently using is 540 dps which costed me 60 chaos. And it is far from the best mace on the league which are roughly 650+ dps.

Priority of gear to get first, you want to get a 4% or better life leech ammy, don’t use carnage heart, its not worth the reduction in %hp. Youd also want about 2% leech on a ring and another 2% on the gloves, you can craft that on gloves. At around 8% leech you should be at the max leech rate. With 6k hp, the max leech rate is 1200 hp per second. And with 16000 physical dps, the leech is 1280 per 1 target. Even if you leech at half that amount (4%) given 2 targets you will be at max leech rate.

You want to build your gear around those critical items first, t hen afterwards you want to get enough stats to run grace and conc effect, they are 153 and 108 dex and int respectively. That’s pretty easy to get on 1-2 pieces of gear for int and 1 piece for dex, just fit them into the boots helm ammy etc….
And for the rest of the gear, just make sure you are overcapped resist for elemental weakness maps. This is very important because you want to beable to do all zana missions without being afraid you don’t have enough resist and need to forfeit the mission. And it makes curses from mobs a lot less scary, as they do almost nothing in terms of elemental damage. (although u still want to run a warding pot)

Oak(normal), for hp

Kaityn(cruel) for attack speed (you can pick oak again but I feel there isn’t a lot of attack speed on the passive tree or gear, but there is plently of ipd. You want to have a balance of both, but u can always just test it with an item and see what gives more dps to you)

Oak(merc), for endurance charge = longer immortal call

Sapping divine of stauching, seething divine of grounding, seething divine of heat, ample granite of iron, ample quicksilver of warding.
No need for an adrenaline flask, leap slam will be much faster than that pot.
