BM 2H Big Physical Bigger AoE Ground Slam guide [1.3 Torment]

Ground slam is a strong melee skill with many possibilities. It comes with built in range and AoE. It is also easy to level with and can be done on a tight budget, so works well for new players. If you have currency to dump into the gear you can push the power.
I choose all physical to maximize life leech. The more physical you put out the more you leech back. There is also a large amount of great physical nodes on the way to the keystones and other important nodes you will take.
Blood Magic is the easiest way to get rid of mana woes. While I may be losing out on a little life while wearing 2 auras I have very little survivability issues.
BM is paired with a fair amount of life regen so you never have to worry about what your links are or how fast you attack, you will be able to support any 6 link combination with no problem.
Once you get this rolling it is EZ mode. If you want to manipulate mechanics and have a lot of keystroke play then this is probably not going to thrill you. You will walk into almost everything, right click, it dies.

Blood magic – No mana problems
Resolute technique – Never miss. We’re not stacking crit, so go for constant damage and life steal
Unwavering stance – We don’t plan for evasion gear, so we are only losing our base %5 chance to dodge. Well worth never being stunned, this would become a problem late game
Increased AoE – While ground slam is a melee skill it is also considered an AoE. This will make your hit radius enormous and allow you to use concentrated effect and still cover half the screen
Endurance charges – I love endurance charges. This build runs 2 CWDT to keep them up. (And auto curse) I took a max of 5 but you can probably get away with 4 if you want. We also take the %0.2 life regen per charge from the tree, so they serve a triple purpose. (Damage reduction, life regen while charges are up, longer Immortal Call)
Executioner node – Will increased your damage by %20 to enemies on low life (%35 or less life)
*** Please note: If you are planning to play mostly solo then the “Skull Cracking” node located in the wheel below resolute technique may be good for you. I purposely avoided taking this for group play. There is usually someone with an MF culler and to take that node would simply conflict and end up costing you a lot of IIR / IIQ ***

Pros:
- Good DPS
- Great survivability
- Cheap to start
- Great clear speed
- Seems to only get stronger as you go, I had no drop off in map ability
- Reflect isn't a problem
Cons:
- Play can get repetitive, you will mostly just hold right mouse down
- Until you have a large enough life pool can only run 1 aura
- Can’t do no regen maps
- Large amounts of chaos damage will still hurt unless you can gear for it (which you can, will just cost)

I took
oak>oak>oak
However in torment you could probably opt out of oak in merciless and take the extra point. If you opt out of the 5th endurance charge you can lower the level on your higher CWDT

You will be fine with a 4 link while leveling but will need to make the jump to 5 link when you start to get into maps. Marohi Erqi is amazing for this build and you can get a 5 link for 1.5-2ex last I checked. I would use a rare with good attack speed until you get enough from the tree to make the jump to Marohi. You can wing it with a rare if needed you will just have a little less radius.
Meginord's Girdle is pretty cheap and great for this build.
The rest is typical stacked armour, life, resistance and attributes

Marohi
ground slam - multistrike - melee physical - conc effect - faster attacks

Quality on ground slam is 1.5% increased Stun Duration per 1 quality. If you have it there is no hurt but it’s not necessary for this. The quality on faster attacks, multistrike and melee physical are pretty nice though and I recommend getting as high of quality as you can.

Chest
static strike - melee physical - added fire damage - multistrike - faster attacks

Quality on heavy strike is +0.75% increased Attack Speed per 1 quality. Will help your single target dps to get. When I get to 5 link I will add faster attacks.
---
CWDT (lvl 11) - enduring cry - immortal call - extended duration
CWDT (lvl 1) - enduring cry - vulnerability - extended duration

With 5 charges I found this to be the best. Our high level is 1350 damage taken, low level is 440. In a perfect world that means we proc enduring cry 4 times before IC. I have no problem keeping 4-5 charges all the time, although more commonly 4 because burst damage will proc IC.

reduced mana - herald of ash - hatred - leap slam

Use Brightbeak as your swap weapon for using leap slam very fast
I switched from heavy strike to static strike because the knockback was annoying to me
