BUILD IS NOW A SLAYER BUILD in 3.1.
Build link: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2037091
OLD 3.0 GUIDE ARCHIVE
SonicSunder is a build that lets you leap slam at sonic speeds everywhere while being able to easily survive all end game content with budget gear. This build has a perfect trifecta of tankiness, clear speed and DPS. This is a very versatile build where it can dish out massive amounts of damage, while also being budget and beginner friendly enough to be a HC/SSF/League starter.
Now, what makes this build different to other sunder builds? 1) Sunder (22+ attacks per second) = VERY VERY FAST, STUN IMMUNE 2) Tanky - Facetank all guardians with 7 endurancshae charges and 100% life leech (yes, you heard that right...100% life leech) 3) DPS & Clear speed - Dual wield 2 minute phoenix runs with 7 frenzy charges and 40% more berserker damage, and berserker having the most attack speed in the game) 4) Uber lab farm viable, I farmed my helm enchants on abyssus myself Other stats 1) League starter & budget friendly, SSF/HC viable (Can replace any unique with a rare) 2) Facetank ALL shaper hits, uber izaro and all guardians 3) Beginner friendly, only active skills are sunder and leap slam

Recommended gear
Recommended gear PoB
https://pastebin.com/77EKq3t6
- 1.15M DPS - culling strike princess - Sunder DMG abysuss - 100c rings/amulet (craft urself with screaming/shrieking essence of contempt) - 100c jewels for life/ias/res (prices will differ) - 200c insanity gloves (craft urself if you can't find one) - Use poacher's instead of warlord's
BUDGET GEAR
If you can't afford any of these items, you can just down-grade, no big deal. The uniques without good implicits are pretty cheap even early on into the league.
You can have full a full set of gear for less than 1ex, with a 5 link brass dome/tabula (i used tabula until lvl 95 until I bought a brass dome for 6ex). For mapping and first character ez profits with fast clear speed for a budget character: Abyssus (15c), Tabula (15c), rare amulet (5c each), soul taker (20c), prismatic eclipse/tempestous steel (1c), kaoms roots (1c), belt of deceiver (1c), rare gloves (5c) That's 74c, and exalts are currently 80c right now.
Main gear
Accessories
If you can't afford Bisco's, use a rare
Flasks
For Shaper/Guardians/uber lab for more tankiness: I personally tried using a tabula and I was able to tank guardians and uber izaro with it, so I recommend going tabula over a 5 link brass dome if you can't afford a brass dome 6L. If you don't care about DPS as much , a 5 link brass dome is still good. More budget flask options:
Jewels
No budget showcase for jewels, but 8% ias with axes and 7% life are the two most important ones.
With two bonus cheap temporary jewels for int/res/ias
My Current Gear
Gear I had for races
Turmoil, played 6 days, pushed to 96, top 160 players in ladder
http://poe-profile.info/profile/xcise/SonicSerker
Mayhem, played 2 days (BUDGET)
Took less than 2 days to get to lvl 90 in the 10 day mayhem race. I gave all the gear away, but I managed to link some gear before the character was cleaned out:
Passive tree
passive tree: http://poe-profile.info/profile/xcise/SonicSunder
(gave away all my shit to guildies, jewels are gone, you can still see the passive tree though)
How i leveled
Interestingly, I used brightbeak all the way to t10 with abyssus and the same rings/amulet. The high amounts of flat phys made it easily able to clear t10 maps.
I just spammed t10 shaped dunes until lvl 90. Unfortunately, the only brass dome on poe.trade was 150c, so I had to 6L a belly. I actually didn't even bother to do the uber lab ascend, didn't need the 40% more damage.
Most expensive gear was:
Belly cost me around 200c of fusings and the chest itself (bought at 1:3)
Soul taker 180c (bought early, so was expensive) Three insanity essences, 40c each, ended up with a pretty crappy glove Ended up giving around 1,000 chaos worth of gear in around 13 hours play time. Didn't really need the bismuth flask, but I didn't really need a basalt flask either since I wasn't dying much.
Harbinger (LUXURY)
Current gear and skill tree (Changes depending on whether i am farming uber lab/atziri/shaper/guardians/beachheads - http://poe-profile.info/profile/xcise/
BEACHHEAD GEAR
Beachheads are OP in 3.0, profitable + easy leveling.
(Special note, staunching flask is for corrupted blood, pretty much the only real danger in harbinger)For regular mapping, change the staunching silver flask into a silver warding flask or overflowing chalice. If you are still using a tabula, consider using a silver curing flask, because porcupines + poison on hit damage over time will hurt a lot unless you have high armour (which then it'd tickle).

FACETANK BOSS GUIDES
Uber lab
Tips
- Pantheon: Soul of Solaris + Ryslatha
- desecrate + devouring totem helps, but isn't needed - MAKE SURE YOU REPLACE ABYSSUS WITH RARE HELM or starkonja - Biggest threat is the spinning gear traps on the ground if you don't see it. The quicksilver will help with this. - Izaro is a joke, just pop flasks, health flask when he hits a big hit, keep fortify up, totem and then facetank to kill. Enduring cry is optional if you have low life. 5k+ life is recommended. - With traps, I just pop all my flasks and leap slam through. Since the green circle anti-movement totems do physical damage and we have so much armour with lion's roar flask + iron skin flask affix + granite/ToH, it won't do much damage. - Brass dome, basalt + iron skin + lion's roar will help. ToH is nice, but you can replace that with a seething divine flask of staunching. Use one respec point to take out vaal pact. Should be able to facetank at around 5k life, keep using enduring cry and pot on big hits for ez facetank Passive tree should look something like this at lvl 100:
Guardian tips
For Minotaur/Chimera, I recommend taking abyssus off, because abyssus causes 40% more phys damage taken. I personally still use abyssus for guardians for clear speed, but it's a lot more rippy.
Phoenix/Chimera is the easiest to facetank. Phoenix gear setup: https://www.reddit.com/r/Xcise/comments/75gbf5/phoenix_guardian_guide_for_the_sunderserker_build/ Chimera facetank example: https://youtu.be/KNFmoM-aLz8?t=92 Minotaur with 7k life facetank: https://youtu.be/UqOzgpbsZUo?t=145 Facetank phoenix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2blCwrd-Xc4 You can facetank even hard mods with 7 endurances with enduring cry No video yet for hydra facetank, but there will be one up soon.
SHAPER FACETANK
Gear/Links for facetank shaper:
Requirements
Stats for shaper: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Shaper I have 6908HP while doing shaper with belt of the deceiver, and 7146HP with a rare belt. Strategy: Remember: Shaper will not use yellow balls if you are in melee range. 1) Cast blood rage and Ancestral protector to make sure both are up during the whole fight 2) Leap slam straight onto shaper to apply fortify 3) Cast enduring cry whenever the timer on your endurance charges drops low in duration 4) If Shaper uses shaper slam, pop Lion's roar, life flask + Taste of hate 5) If Shaper uses shaper beam, pop doedre's 6) Pop Overflowing chalice on mobs 7) Make sure you place the vortex balls outside or on the perimeter of zana bubble For better clear speed, consider replacing culling strike with frenzy, although I don't recommend it. DPS is high enough that frenzy charges are just a bonus. We also don't really care about the vortex balls since we have such high life leech with warlord's. Also, consider warlord's in CWDT with purity of ice.

Additional information
Permanent attack in place
Be sure to use attack in place when leap slamming and sunder! It will make your life a lot easier. There is a trick to do permanent attack in place with either a macro or numpad trick. (https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/5p8xox/helpful_easy_way_to_use_attack_in_place_movement/)
Map Mods
I don't even look at map mods any more, too lazy for that! (unless you are leveling or doing guardians, then be careful of some mods) No life/mana leech is do-able, I've done a t14 palace with no leech. With brass dome and flasks, porcupines and phys reflect is no problem. You just need to dodge the main attacks of dominus, and you'll be fine. Clear speed will suffer, so it won't be worth it. Just sell the map, use orb of horizons or scour and use orb of binding. Physical reflect is do-able if you change with , but it's very annoying. I've done T16 chimera/phoenix with physical reflect, but it's just not worth the hassle of changing gems. Just sell the map, use orb of horizon or scour and use orb of binding.

FAQ
Why is The princess sword better than pris. eclipse or Tempestous steel?
ANSWER
1) The princess steel has higher APS, so if you are to use whirling blades, it will be even faster than the pris. eclipse.
2) Cold damage is better for shatter if you want to go crit.
ANSWER
1) Leap slam uses main hand, whirling blades uses the offhand, so you'll deal more damage, resulting in more lifesteal, especially with berserker's 100% life leech.
2) If you have a fast main hand and slower offhand, leap slam will be faster. 3) Since most of your jewels and passive nodes will increased axe attack speed/damage, it will make leap slam go faster than whirling blades. 4) Leap slam can jump over some obstacles! 5) Leap slam is required for minotaur, in order to apply fortify. Whirling blades will make you move too far away, making Minotaur burrow. It helps with dodging things with uber atziri / shaper as well, because leap slam is more precise. 6) Be sure to use attack in place when leap slamming and sunder! It will make your life a lot easier. There is a trick to do permanent attack in place with either a macro or numpad trick. (https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/5p8xox/helpful_easy_way_to_use_attack_in_place_movement/)
ANSWER
Doedre's elixir alone should be enough to sustain endurance charges. Poacher's mark gives 100% flask charges gained, which should give you a doedre's pretty much every pack.
Tbh, I don't need endurance charges for guardians, but I use endurance charges/warlord's(blasphemy) to facetank shaper. If you are still having trouble (For bosses), try this: 1) Replacing poacher-blasphemy with warlord's-blasphemy 2) Replacing something in the CWDT 4 link with enduring cry 3) Make sure you're not using immortal call. At the moment I only use doedre's and blood rage and/or poacher's mark for frenzy charges, but putting frenzy instead of culling strike into your leap slam 4 link is a way for permanent maximum frenzy charges.
ANSWER
No, you can grab the charisma passive node to not need to use any enlightens in your gem links. It's just there to be levelled.
ANSWER
Yes, these are some of the maximum outputs I've reached with mirror gear. This build is very versatile. Every piece of gear can be replaced by a rare (except flasks and offhand). Reaching 9k Life and 9 endurance charges is possible, so is 7M DPS with mirror gear.
9k+ HP with belly - https://pastebin.com/KSgCLrac 7.5M DPS - https://pastebin.com/9691kKnf To clarify, it's not realistic numbers, and it's also not going to be optimal setups. I currently map and do beachheads with around 1 mill DPS. I don't need any more than that while mapping. I currently get around 1.5mill DPS on PoB on guardians with punishment, but it's not sustainable because punishment isn't sustainable. Also, my gear is very min-maxed and cost a lot, so you should aim for 1mill when mapping and 1mill on guardians with punishment for around 10ex worth of gear.

ANSWER
Cloaked in Savagery -> Aspect of carnage
"
ANSWER
There are t16 guardian tips under FACETANK BOSS GUIDES, but yeah, in general focus on keeping your endurance charges up, hp over 5k, make sure you're always moving around when mapping to dodge volatile
There are also tips for uber lab under FACETANK BOSS GUIDES section. "
ANSWER
1) Those nodes are for the max life% nodes, not the life regen.
2) I use the flame golem. 3) My passive tree is actually just a theorised version, I will rebuild the levelling passive tree soon. I went a totally different route doing the 10 day race. I only got vaal pact once I got into maps at around lvl 60. 4) Check out http://poe-profile.info/profile/xcise/ for my 10 day race character. As you can see, it isn't hard to get currency to buy your gear, as this is only the fifth day of the race. Jewels are easy to gear SSF, just alt + regal. SSF gear depends mainly on your weapon. In the 10day race, I mainly used the vendor recipe to vendor one weapon + magic/rare rustic sash + one whetstone to produce around a 40% increased physical damage 1h axe. When I got to around lvl 50/60, I bought a 1h rare axe for 1c. At lvl 60, I bought a 1h rare siege axe for 5c with 1.8APS, which carried me until I bought my tabula, abyssus, soul taker then bisco's. "
ANSWER
Yes. I'm currently playing the 10 day race, and got all those gear by the 3rd day.
"
ANSWER
immortal call uses up your endurance charges so I chose not to use it. In certain situations though like minotaur or chimera, it's applicable.
"
ANSWER
Maim.
Ruthless is also the gem you want to swap out if you have a tabula into a phys to Lightning gem if it is phys reflect map. Else, you'd be swapping the conc. effect gem for the phys2light gem. "
ANSWER
Turn back! Innsbury Edge gives less DPS in Path of Building compared to a white normal sword. It CONVERTS instead of GAIN so you don't actually gain any DPS.
Also, maim doesn't actually give damage, but the maim SUPPORT skill gives damage. But you make an interesting theory. According to PoB, a 7th gem would be Damage on full life > WED > ele focus > phys to lightning > added fire damage You can even swap damage on full life with maim if you don't use blood rage, and just rely on poacher's mark for frenzies. The problem with this, is that poacher's mark doesn't work on hexproof maps, but I guess it'll work for unique maps like beachheads, uber atziri or shaper. But, blood rage gives more clear speed, so I never considered damage on full life. "
ANSWER
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Dual_wielding
ANY DW builds will have this compared to 2H builds: 10% more Attack Speed while Dual Wielding (10% more attack speed is 10% more clear speed!) 20% more Attack Physical Damage while Dual Wielding (20% more DPS is nice, good for bosses) 15% additional Block Chance while Dual Wielding (we don't really care about block in this build, it's not a very reliable defensive mechanism. We just heal back to 100% HP with our 100% life leech on savage hit with doedre's elixir proc) We also have the ability to offhand the princess weapon, which will give us 30% ele gained, which is a lot! (Also, a cheap item to vaal for culling strike) 2) Low APS of one handed axes of 1.88APS (max for soul taker) means that you'll be able to reserve all your mana because soul taker doesn't use mana for attacks. Which means, faster attack speed on the axe will mean you'll benefit more from added physical damage from your other gear, such as rings, helmet and gloves. Abyssus alone practically transforms your one hander into a two hander!
bonus
 Set looks pretty nice even without MTX!https://i.imgur.com/HQezAnG.jpg 2.2M tooltip DPS in a beachhead! Also, I'm offering [HSC] Shaper/Chayula/Guardian/Uber Lab service with this build. Last edited by Xcise#4722 on Dec 8, 2017, 2:45:29 AM Last bumped on Jan 23, 2018, 6:53:44 AM

Build looks really solid and hardcore viable, He can pretty much face tank anything based on the videos.
Great build! |

Seen this in action, its got crazy dps and clear speed. Great build, easy to play, easy to gear for and a great league starter.

Tried this build to 90. Really enjoyed it. It's an all rounded build. Guardians are easy even with subpar gears. I personally prefer this
over Abyssus. Enlighten + Blasphemy + warlord's mark and I never even worry about dying. Cwdt + molten shell is great as well Last edited by Elssa123#1479 on Oct 22, 2017, 9:38:53 AM

Thanks, yeah, I forgot to put in gem variants, I'll get right on that.
Warlord's mark is used for endurance sustain, while bloodrage is used for frenzy sustain. Arctic armour and herald of ash is interchangable Punishment can be used in a CWDT link for single target Ele weakness instead of warlords/poachers is for trash DPS.
