[2.1] (Atziri kill) Old school Sweep and Vaal ground slam build

Helm Abyssus, because that your damage. I try this build with other rares and devotto's, but abyssus best choice.
Chest I use nice rare chest: life+res+armour, but best choice will be Lightning coil, because we use Abyssus. But, coil is really dont cheap, and you need very good res+crit+life+accur ring for it, that will be so expensive. That why i use nice rare chest.
Belt Nice rare: life+res. For Atziri's trio will be nice +1 endurance charge for immortal call and vaal immortal call.
Gloves Nice rares: atck speed+life+res+(or) mana leech (or find it on jewelery). 2nd choice will be Maligaro's, but this choice will be expensive and you will not have life or res. I dont prefer this. 3nd choice is Empire's grasp that gives you funny black hole effect with your vaal ground slam with 20% quality (+75% knockback distance) that invert your knockback. But this funny and nothing more for this build.
Jewelery Nice rare: accuracy (you really need this 250+)+life+crit+res (nice diamond's rings will be best choice). Before you get Hegemony's Era, you can use Romira's banquette (that will get your power charges). Amulet: life+accuracy+crit+res. You need mana leech from gloves or jewelery 0.3 or higher.
Weapon Hegemony's era will be endgame choice and best weapon you can get. That gives you power charges and nice crit that mean very nice DPS and strong hits with vaal ground slam. Before you will get it you can use nice crit staff (72-75 maps) and Marohi Erque (68-72 maps and then regret with refund points to crit staff build)
Jewels Nice rares: crit chance+crit chance with two-handed weapons+accuracy+melee damage. That most important items in this build. You need get max jewel socket in your passive tree. You also can get Vaal sentencing jewel fot vaal ground slam, that will be pretty nice too, but I prefer nice rares.
Flasks 2 nice life based flask with remove bleeding nodes, Atziri's promise that give you nice DPS boost and survaivability against reflects mobs, Lion's roar grants you nice survaivability (3000 armour, knockback and added knockback to attack that nice with our Hegemony's era, nice dps boost) - cheap version of Taste of Hate (8 ex is so expensive, but that will be best choice).

Nice flat phys damage for sweep and leap slam. Use it before refund all typical maul build nodes.


Use it on early stage of crit staff build, then use hegemony's era and start use fine diamond ring.

Defence: Enduring cry+blood magic, Immortal call (20lvl 20q)+Icreased duration (20q 20lvl), Decoy totem
Golems: ice golem/chaos golem will be nice against hard bosses
Blood rage: use it for more attack speed+life leech (with new hematophagy passive node that grants 20% damage while leeching)

Use bloodrage?
Bloodrage gives you nice attack speed that means more crit and more DPS, but reduced your life regen (and life regen from endurance charges). You can use it, but I don't like this.BUT in 2.1 with new passive nodes that increased your damage while leeching Blood rage very good choice
-Why you don't use chill of corruption jewel?
That pretty expensive and gives you only vaal ground slam boost (you can spam you slam=)), but I prefer nice double crit/phys damage/accur rare jewel or vaal sentencing jewel.
-Why don't start with crit build?
That hard. Start from zero point character and move to crit will be hard, expensive, and you lost survaivability. I recomend you start with simple 2 handed maul build with Marohi.
-Why not rat's nest?
Abyssus grant's alot of damage, Rat's nest not. Both of this items doesn't have res/life bur abyssus grant's you one shot kill pack of monsters with vaal ground slam.
-What about Atziri?
You can kill double vaal pretty easy. Trio not a problem with 20q/20lvl immortal call and increased duration and 20q decoy totem (don't be dumb and risky and all be ok). For Atziri you need control your all flasks. You can kill her fast but that not saffest build for it, and ofcourse for HC kill.
-Why so low armour for that build? Why not Iron reflexes?
7 endurance charges, over 8k armour and Arctic armour grants me nice survaivability. Iron reflexes spend you alot of passive points, just try use pure nice armour gear (abyssus grants you couple of this). And yes, if you can get more armour - find it!
