[2.2] HC | 2-h Mace Slayer | "State of Exile" tells you this is bad, beware!

I'll probably try something like this for the challenge league. I loved my stun groundslamer.

I'll just do a few tweeks with the tree, like taking Stun Mastery.

What slayer passives did you take?

What about bandits?

Why aren't you using the stun gem instead of Endurance Charge on Stun? It will help you to stunlock bosses. Then you won't even need to use Enduring cry :)

Thank you guys for all the feedback, sorry that i didnt answered faster!

I don't cast enduring cry manually, it's in my cast on hit setup, and therefor the "Endurance Charge on Stun" is for convienience and survivability in one! You could change your setup to manually casting and get better perma-stun results but you would lose perma 6+ endurance charge uptime at solo target etc.

Looks very solid, HC too. I appreciate that you shared it.
I made something similar myself from scratch, 'cause I wanted to play a 2H. But I used double strike with multistrike etc. Well, my first melee build on my own, wasn't too bad.

Only thing is, your guide really needs a gameplay example video.
And I'm also unsure of few things.
Do you skip Mstrike so you get harder phys hits for stun?
How reliable is your stun chance for charges, on high lvl bosses for example?
You have Hatred and then swap between Enfeeble or Herald, if I see it correctly?
I initially chose Dstrike over Heavy strike 'cause of the annoying knockback... how does this work out in practice?
I see you have a mana leech jewel and elreon ring but nothing else mana? Is that enough, can you spam Leap slam etc? Also isn't it annoying having to Leap for Fortify?
How does ICall interact with cwdt and charges? Does it proc all the time so you lose all your charges, get a few second immunity, and immediately start stacking charges again? Never used it.

Slayer passives are getting big upgrade soon, you've prolly seen already.
Anyway as you can see most of my questions could've easily been answered by a gameplay video, so you should really put one on youtube quick, IMO.
But like I said seems really solid, I like it so far, thanks for sharing man.
Peace

Yeah, i have to look what i can do about that.

Exactly!

"

Pretty reliable.

"

You have Hatred and then swap between Enfeeble or Herald, if I see it correctly?

I use Hatred and Enfeeble with Blasphemy, for an Herald i dont have any mana left but i have it for leveling.

I initially chose Dstrike over Heavy strike 'cause of the annoying knockback... how does this work out in practice?

It can be nasty sometimes but in the end its not too annoying.

"

I see you have a mana leech jewel and elreon ring but nothing else mana? Is that enough, can you spam Leap slam etc? Also isn't it annoying having to Leap for Fortify?

Mana leech jewel and one -8 Mana Elreon ring are enough to maintain your mana, to use leapslam for fortify is not annoying, its a movement skill afterall so i use it often even when i wouldnt use it for fortify so its just a win win.

How does ICall interact with cwdt and charges? Does it proc all the time so you lose all your charges, get a few second immunity, and immediately start stacking charges again? Never used it.

Exactly, you gain all your charges and hold them for any damage that actually hits you because the enemys are most of the time stunned.

I see, sounds good. Thanks for the reply.

I hope you make a video of few minutes of mapping or such. :) It's very easy to do nowadays.
I recommend using OBS: https://obsproject.com/
It's a great software and is free, it is what most livestreamers use, but you can also make local recordings.
cheers

i like the build but why no videos showing you mapping?... thats very important in any build imo , the clear speed must be slow coz lack of aoe i think . how much you spend in cleat a t13-14? imo thats the main reason why people use EQ . im sure you will be happy for buff in 2.3 for this class :D

How early does a build like this become sustainable mana-wise?

What do you do for Izaro? After Cruel he is stun immune. It seems all stun slayer builds are having this issue. IS there anything to be done about it, or simply deal with him being immune?
