[3.13] 50K ARMOUR "Mr. T H I C C" tonic (Crit Tectonic Slam) Juggernaut Build +VIDEO GUIDE! 5M+ DPS!

Tectonic Slam was released just when i finished my updated Earthquake build in May 2018 https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2149501.
When it was released it was not impressive at all and since that day i've been just watching things and hoping for the best.
They day has come in 3.5 and obviously it was THE TIME to bring yet another skill to life!

======================================================================================
How does it work, in general?
You basically Leap across everything with 10 Endurance Charges and SLAM your way forward to the end game.
50-60k armour prevents 5-6k physical damage from hits and you regenerate 1.5% of it as well on top of normal regen which is quite high.
1 endurance charge gives you 4% all resistance. Nebulochs give you 4% Chaos Rsistance per endurance charge per ONE nebuloch.

Tectonic Slam is a Fire melee AOE Attack skill that has a 35% chance to consume Endurance Charge in order to deal 60% more damage with a Charged SLAM.

Why crit? Because DAMAGE, guys. Who cares if you are thicc but hit like a wet noodle and fight shaper for 20 minutes. Going crit solves the problem!
It's not as easy as going Elemental Overload of Resolute Technique, but the DPS greatly outweights everything. Oh.. and we are still THICC and not W E A K K.

PS: Keep in mind that this EXACT setup is not entirely newbie friendly and costs some money.
You also need to understand how mitigatiion works here and why you need to keep endurance charges as high as possible.
The build itself is more AOE mass-kill oriented, other than BOSS-oriented. You can kill bosses, but it's not as fast as your blade flurry or Molten Strike of cause. Please READ FAQ section about bossing!
======================================================================================
1) PROS
Spoiler


+safe across most content.
+6000 HP with 1k Leech and 1k (18%) Life Regen
+stupidly tanky against phys damage with 60000 Armour (Mathil's build had 23k)
+fantastic AOE
+insane Uber Lab farmer, AFK Izaro fights
+great bosskiller too, because *wink* CRIT and over 5+ Million Shaper DPS.
+you don't need xoph's blood

======================================================================================
2) CONS
Spoiler


-Weak to Elemental damage outside of Endurance Charges
-Hard to Balance Resists
-Getting to 10 Endurance Charges is expensive (2x Kaom's Way, +1 Kaom's Roots)
-End-Game Bosses (Shaper/Uber Atziri/Uber Elder) require precision and understanding as well as solid skills and a good eye to watch your Endurance Charges and buffs.

3) Skill Tree Progression / Path of Building / Ascendancy / Bandits
For the levelling tree please watch the video guide or check PoB!
Spoiler


Path of building:
Up to 97.lvl: https://pastebin.com/SVrPsiJP
IF YOU GET AN ERROR WHILE IMPORTING OR ANY OTHE ERRORS, IT MEANS YOUR POB IS OUTDATED ORIGINAL VERSION THAT IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED. YOU NEED A "COMMUNITY FORK" ONE TO MAKE IT WORK:
https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding
For Ascendancy: Unfliching, Unyilding (SC) / Unrelenting (HC), Undeniable, Unbreakable
Bandits: Alira or Kill All

======================================================================================
4) Early Levelling Gear / Skills
Spoiler


You will have to level with Sunder/Arc/Cleave/Whatever till level 28 when you get Tectonic Slam.
Tectonic Slam 4L: Tectonic Slam-Melee.Phys-Faster.Attacks-Onslaught
Tectonic Slam 4L (later): Tectonic Slam-Melee.Phys-Multistrike-Ruthless/Conc.Effect
These 3 are actually strong Unique Maces on your way to Nebuloch:
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Callinellus_Malleus
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Cameria%27s_Maul
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Cameria%27s_Avarice
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Brutus%27_Lead_Sprinkler
For chests you can use reworked https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Daresso%27s_Defiance
or https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Ashrend which will help mitigating Fire self-damage of Nebuloch. Tabula is good as always.
Swords for levelling:
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Princess is great all around.
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Tempestuous_Steel
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Innsbury_Edge
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Prismatic_Eclipse
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Scaeva
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Dreadbeak
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Razor_of_the_Seventh_Sun is not bad now after the buff!

https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Ewar%27s_Mirage is POGCHAMP for cheap

======================================================================================
5) My Actual Gear / End-Game Skills
Spoiler


For Uber Lab enchant: 40% increased Tectonic Slam damage (cheaper) or Tectonic Slam has 20% chance to create a Charged Slam (very expensive)




(3.9)
Tectonic Slam 5L: Tectonic Slam-Awakened.Melee.Phys-Multistrike-Ruthless-Conc.Effect
Tectonic Slam 6L: Tectonic Slam-Awakened.Melee.Phys-Multistrike-Ruthless-Awakened.Elememntal.Damage.With.Attacks-Conc.Effect
Concescrated Path 6L (lazy farming): Consecrated Path-Awakened.Melee.Phys-Endurance.On.Melee.Stun-Ruthless-Conc.Effect-Awakened.Elemental.Damage.with.Attacks

======================================================================================
6) Flasks
Spoiler



These make you safe.
If you Fire res is low = use Taste of Hate instead of Wise Oak
Cinderswallow Urn is not a bad option, since we actually Ignite and get the buff!


======================================================================================
7) Pantheon Gods
Spoiler


Major: Arakaali
Minor: Tukohama

======================================================================================
8) Hardcore Viable or not?
Spoiler


Indeed very viable. Just don't Leap Slam into death!
Elemental Damage would be rippy.
Always make sure you are in full Endurance Charges

======================================================================================
9) FOR THE RICH GUYS
Spoiler

Corrupted Nebulochs with % Phys Damage, Attack Speed, Fortify on Melee Hit


2x, 3x Crit Multi + Life jewels.

For Watcher's Eye:
Crit Hatred one and double Hatred ones (pen, extra cold damage, increased cold)

FAQ
1) How to kill End-game Bosses in general (Shaper, Uber Atziri, Uber Elder)?
Spoiler

1) Make sure you have max endurance charges up, or you will get one-shotted as you enter the room (spam Enduring Cry as soon as it's available)
As a trick = equip
Gluttony belt and Leap Slam around till you get all endurance charges up. Then switch the belt and enter the fight.
2) Make sure you have Blood Rage up
3) Make sure you have Fortify
4) Make sure you plant your Totem to get a buff
5) Make sure you have decent resists and at least 5k life.
6) Use Purity of Elements
7) Use Resistance Flasks
8) Learn the fight

If you are res capped outside of endurance charges then definitely drop some resists for Life!

Hi!!

With 30% critical is enough? :O
Can you tell me the major differences and pros/cons of this compared to Mathil's build with Oni-Goroshi instead of Nebulochs?

Also, could you show an uber elder kill with this build?
