[3.15] Earthbreaker EQ Totem Bleed Build- Not active

Pros:
-Defensive playstyle, Totems will take care of business
-You can warcry and dodge manually without losing out on dealing dmg
-The playstyle should be Newbie friendly

Cons:
-Totem playstyle is not for everyone, if you like to do the work yourself,then this isn't for you!
-The clear of maps aren't going to be fast, mainly because i decided not to use Less duration support in the main setup, because i wanted to focus on dealing more damage.
-Totems aren't leeching life to you, so you have to rely on your own life regen & warcry (Enduring cry)

I decided to go with the Gladiator, primarily because it gives some much needed defence, in this case a ton of both block to attacks & spells.
Furthermore it gives us some physical damage over time, which helps us deliever more bleed damage.

I picked these ascendancy nodes in the following order:
1. Blood in the eyes
2. Gratuitous Violence
3. Painforged
4. Versatile Combatent

Totem setup ,Socket in body armour
Gems in priority of importance:
1. Earthbreaker lvl 20
2. Earthquake lvl 20
3. chance to bleed lvl 20
4. melee physical damage support lvl 20
5. Unbound ailments lvl 20
6. Brutality or LifeTap lvl 20
Note: I have considered Cruelty support, i just don't have any way to correctly calculate the damage it adds, so using Cruelty support might be worth it. Some testing is needed to dertermine whether it's worth it, or not.

WHY not use LIFE TAP in the main setup?:
Its possible to swap brutality for Lifetap, by doing that all mana issues will be solved, and an enduring manaflask is no longer needed.
Furthermore, by using lifetap, makes it possible for us to reserve more mana% for 1 extra aura (WAR BANNER) & linking MAIM support to Herald of purity, monsters will be then be maimed. By making the swap our damage will increase, a little, and the playstyle will be more comfortable. You could afterall also swap in deadly ailments instead of Lifetap/brutality, but then again might feel worse than simply using lifetap -> A long rant about how lifetap rocks!

I want my totems to use EQ with less duration:
If you want the Earthquake to have less duration, then it's possible to swap Melee physical damage support for Less duration support. The result is several million dps loss, but it might make clearing smoother, quite alot. (even with less duration, each totem will still do 3.4mill dps, so all 3 totems combined will still deliever quite alot of damage.

Movement setup ,Socket in boots
1. Shield charge or Leap slam lvl 1
2. Faster attacks lvl 20
3. Fortify lvl 20
4. Lifetap lvl 20

Warcry & CWDT ,Socket in helmet
1. Enduring cry lvl 20
2. Cast when damage taken lvl 10
3. Steel skin lvl 15
4. Life tap lvl 20

Cwdt & Tempest shield ,Socket in weapon
1. Cwdt lvl 1
2. Tempest shield lvl 7
3. Life tap lvl 20

Auras & Buffs ,Socket in shield or gloves
1. Pride lvl 20
2. Herald of purity lvl 20
3. You can use War banner & link MAIM support to Herald of purity if you're using Lifetap instead of Brutality support in your main setup.

Note about ensnaring arrow: We are using ENSNARING ARROW on stationary bosses, because it will make them count as "moving" which makes them take additional bleed damage. So swap to the bow, shoot the boss before spamming your totems.
OFFHAND weapon slot socketed in your secondary weaponslot
1. Ensnaring arrow
2. Greater multiple projectile support
3. Increased duration support

Mandatory uniques:
Jack, the axe
https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Jack,_the_Axe
I went with that specific axe because it gives us a nice buff effect, for a low cost. It gives us life sustain (life regen), whenever we are near bleeding enemies - Which should be all the time.

Ive created some custom gear on pob, just to give you guys an idea about possible gear choices. I've on purpose not added anything super empowered or hard to get items, so it should be beginner friendly.

It's a work in progress, videoes will be posted here in the future

How do we avoid dying?:
- We have a decent life pool
- We have a semi high lvled Cast when damage taken setup with Steelskin, that will mitigate some of the damage we take, if we take a substantiel amount of damage
- We have the life regen from enduring cry, which we can spam quite often, because we got a bunch of warcry recovery nodes on the passive tree.
- Jack the Axe grants us a buff that gives us a ton of life regen pr enemy nearby, up to 5 enemies.
- The totems are doing all the heavy lifting, which means that we can take our sweet time and dodge stuff manually.
- We should be capped in both block to spells & attacks.


Will mapping be insanely fast?:
- The short answer is no. The totem playstyle isn't exactly known for being fast,and in this case we are using Earthquake, which is a skill with a delay. So no, mapping will be slow / average, at most.


Is this a boss killer?:
It could be considered a boss killer, mainly because the totem playstyle allows you to dodge boss mechanics, while the totems takes care of the boss. The damage should be decent, so as long as the boss isn't immune to damage over time effects / ailments, then we should be fairly good vs bosses.
