[3.0] Glacial Hammer Staff Champion 650k dps


Preamble
Spoiler
It seams that I'm addicted to creating new builds in PoE.
That combined with the fact that I had a month free from work resulted in 8 characters this league.
It's my pleasure to share them with you.
Also a disclaimer, I'm not saying that these builds are only done by me, only that I have created them by myself and are my take on the skill presented.
As always I enjoy improving my builds, so if you have any suggestions or questions please write them down bellow.


Introduction
Spoiler
This build is a Champion named Divine_Glacier.
It uses new staff with Glacial Hammer to deal massive cold damage with each hit.

Additionally we get permanent onslaught form this belt

This build can do maps up to tier 15 fairy easily and is really tanky.
I did not try it on guardians and shaper but I'm confident it could make it.
It's my 6th build this league.


Skill tree

First easiest way, link for Path of building, it's an amazing tool and I encourage you to download and use it :)

Ascendancy
Spoiler

First of course get Fortitude for permanent Fortify and then go for Conqueror and Worthy Foe.


Pantheon
Spoiler

Soul of Arakaali with reduced damage over time, avoid lightning damage, reduced shock and all other upgrades is the best.
For the minor i went with Soul of Yugul.
Because we deal such big hits, even fortify won't help us against reflect.

Leveling Tips
Spoiler

About level 50 I dropped Pillar of the Caged God https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Pillar_of_the_Caged_God.
That was the moment I figured out that it is a best in slot for leveling.
No need to change it until endgame, but if you want, go for one handed unique maces like me.
It might be a little more damage, but still, Pillar with lot's of strength is the easiest way to do it.
For leveling also get
The Magnate https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Magnate
and
Meginord's Vise https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Meginord%27s_Vise.

As for skill tree, first go for life and staff nodes around the templar but only if you want to use pillar of the caged god.
Also try to get threshold jewels for glacial hammer as soon as possible.

Some items in this post are currently unavailable.
sustain mana ?
some math then :D
one attack cost 26 mana, we get 3 attacks per skill use, then we need...
4,58/3*26=39,6933333333333 mana regen.
as you can see from the printscreen from path of building we have 39,8 mana regen thanks to clarity lvl2

Edit: played with path of building a bit and optimized the skill tree.

you think it would be good to use kongor's undying rage?
I don't think so...
we get lot's of damage from critical strikes and kondo's...
Your Critical Strikes do not deal extra Damage
You gain Onslaught for 4 seconds on Critical Strike

If you mean for leveling, about level 50 I dropped Pillar of the Caged God https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Pillar_of_the_Caged_God.
That was the moment I figured out that it is a best in slot for leveling xD

For leveling also https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Magnate and https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Meginord%27s_Vise.

edit: added a small leveling guide.
