[3.10] Akumas Sunder - THE League Starter Budget - Can do all content.

Hello guys and gals,

welcome to my Sunder Build.

3.10 INFOS
The new patch brings some interesting changes but not too much for us, YET we are changing from Gladiator to Slayer!
I am currently rebuilding some stuff and found that we can do much more damage on Slayer ascendancy. You can still keep playing Gladiator for Bleedsplosions if you want a bit smother clear, as the Bleedsplosion does this faster. But for general damage and the new Boss Healthpools we need more damage. We will end up with around 2.8 Million singletarget shaper dps and roughly 3.5 million clear dps. Those damage values are with 381 pDPS axes, very achievable.

Rewrite of the text will come roughly tomorrow. Until then please refer mostly to the Path of Building. Not much has changed. The tree is a bit different and we are now on SLAYER!

Guide Start

At the moment I am killing T15 maps in which I mostly only die because I react to slow. I could not yet test any Guardians, Shaper or Uber Atziri as I never got any of the maps for them.

Pros:
1. Fast Attacker
2. Easy to play
3. Kinda Tanky

Cons:
1. Can't do physical reflect maps
2. Can't do no leech maps

How does this build work?

Sunder is a "Melee" Skill with a range, which makes it a lot easier to evade everything that is being thrown at us. We are playing on a dual wield.

So all we do is: 1. Get in range of the enemy, hold right mousebutton and watch stuff die.
If anything is thrown at us, just use Leap Slam to evade stuff.

What gear is mandatory?
Really mandatory is nothing. You can fully play the build with 2 rares to get some currency BUT the build is so budget friendly that you will be able to buy your endgame items that bring you to t15 for less than you'd even imagine.

But I suggest the following uniques to make life easier:


Depending on the starter price, take either Jack, the Axe or Soul Taker as the main weapon.
Soul Taker is preferred because it is stronger then Jack but mostly costs much more than Jack and can make you fall for the "no mana needed to attack".

Kaom's Roots: Stun immunity, freeze immunity, can't be slowed under standard movement speed an lots of life. Nothing else needed.

Cinder Swallow Urn: Those awesome Item. Pop it while mowing down and you just can't die. Prefer 3% life mod ignore the rest. As Veilmod "Damage Taken Leeched as Life", "Reduced Mana Cost" or "Life Regen" are the mods we want. I prefer Life Regen.

Taste of Hate: Awesome Endgame Item. Expensive but packs a damn punch. Only get when you find the cards or are a rich bitch.

As Leveling Weapons we now take:
Bright Beak from Level 20
Flesh-Eater from Level 32

Old League Gear (Harbinger League) IGNORE THE SOCKETS AND GEMS ON THOSE EXAMPLE ITEMS:


Remember: Those items are only an EXAMPLE they are NOT live gear. They only show you how bad the gear can be while still reaching now a whooping one million shaper DPS! Also Swords (Prismatic Elcipse) may NOT be worn anymore!)

Gems and Links:
All in Order of importance

1. Sunder Setup: Sunder + Melee Physical Damage + Fortify + Ruthless + Maim + Concentrated Effect

2. Leap Slam: Leap Slam + Faster Attacks + Blood Magic + Dash (Level 13! Only level higher if you have enough DEX)

3. Vaal Ancestral Warchief: Vaal Ancestral Warchief + Melee Physical Damage + Bloodlust + Concentrated Effect

4. Utility 1 (In Axe): Steelskin + Cast when damage taken + Immortal Call

5. Utility 2 in Offhand: Arctic Armor + Pride + Blood and Sand




Build Tree (Step 1): Tree 1
Rush to Resolute Technique

Build Tree (Step 2): Tree 2
Go to the Mana Leech node first, then fill out as you want/need. I prefer the Axe Nodes left.

Build Tree (Final): Link to Build. Click me
Warning: We are respeccing one STR and one DEX node to save one point in the endgame tree. Those are the two nodes before Warriors blood. One of the points go before the Bloodless into the STR node. Keep that in mind when gearing up.

Bandits: Kill all

Ascendancy: Blood in the Eyes -> Gracious Violence -> -> Outmatch and Outlast -> Arena Challenger

Path of Building Link: https://pastebin.com/RzxV4WBD

Pantheon:
Big god: Brine King until you got Kaom's Roots, else Solaris for bossing and Lunaris for mapping
Small god: Whatever you like. Gruthkul might be the most interesting one.

Damage we actually do
**Needs complete Rework**

Thanks. nice to hear :)

At first I went to Resolute Technique so I never miss a hit, then I went to the Axe cluster on the left side and the Lifewheel and took what ever I needed most in that situation. After you got those you can max out the duelist area.

Added the Bandits selection: Kill all for 2 points

ah ok yea i was torn between going oak for the extra phys damage or killing all, seems either is decent.

Hey, what's the ascendency path ?

For the answer, let me quote the description of Sunder:

"

Requires a Mace, Axe, or Staff.

What exactly do you mean ? Until Level 12 when you get sunder?
Or Leveling trees?
