[3.7] Rake's Tectonic Slam Equipment Guide - from League Start to Endgame
" Hi, you don't have skilled Smashing Strikes yet. With it you should almost always have 4-5 Endurance Charges (with 5 Endurance Charges max). Furthermore, you've took one more Endurance Charge then shown in the PoB i've made. I took one extra Endurance Charge for the little extra defense and for the +0,2% life reg per Endurance Charge. But you can ofc just skipp all Endurance Charges if you feel save and just want more Damage. " 1. Hi, Immortal Call is not linked to CWDT because IC is meant to be used manually for maximum efficency. Ah fully buffed IC lasts 3.5 seconds which is quite a lot. But you can ofc link it with CWDT if you don't want to use it manually. And yes, if you don't use Rage and have the free Gemsockets, you can use two CWDT Setups. One on lvl 1 with Wave of Conviction and one CWDT with IC as high as you feel comfortable with. 2. The "all in one" Setup would probably be Ruthless + Pulverize. Thats an compromise between Damage and AoE. 3. Yeah, Tabula would be something like T6 because it lacks Armour and Life. " - Helmet with more life. Aim for at least 90+. If affordable 110+ - Amulet with more Life and at least 1-2 Damage stats should be pretty cheap - Your Rings are.... interessting. Plz read the Ring and Amulet Section :) - your Boots and Gloves can also have more life on them. But Gloves with this damage stats can be pretty expensive. So maybe wait with this item upgrade and do the others first " Yes, but that won't help for the 6-link. Read the Gem Section for this. " Hi, thats a method you can use to maintain your Endurance Charges (or use Smashing Strikes on the Tree). But in my suggestet Gem Setups are not even Place for Dash as soon as you use Tombfists. Unfortunally we just can't have it all. Herald of Purity grants a little more Damage in a lot of cases. The biggest upside for me is the that the Minions from Purity can Tank enemies and block projectiles. But if you like Herald of Ash for the overkill Damage - feel free to use it. " Hi, i didn't had time to write the Mana Sustain Section yet. Some short suggestions: You can skill Righteous Decree, and if that is not enough Spirit Void also. You could also skip Herald of Purity as long as your Mana Sustain ist to low to have a bigger Mana Pool left. " Yeah, Foils or Swords in generall can help with the attack speed. And they don't need to be that expensive. For around 20c you already can get Swords which are only 5% worse then Ahns Might. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Legion/mplkYwC6 If you are lucky and get a good one with crit chance, it should be as good as Ahns Might. But check this in PoB first to make sure you buy a good one: Click on the "+" on the item in the trade search you want to check. Go into PoB at the item section - ctrl+v to insert the weapon
Picture
Just in case you didn't knew that already. " Hello, please use PoB to see what the "minion" Node offers (i guess you mean Retribution). It is one of the strongest single Point Nodes you can get. " Just use the Golem which gives you the most Damage. As long as your are not having a lot of Accuracy, Ice Golem will be the best. " Permanent Frenzy and Power Charges gives us reliable damage when we need it the most - at tough bosses without adds. You never could afford a good 5 damage stat Amulet or a good 4 damage stat Ring + high life. These tend to cost 20-100ex. The T0 Rings i've suggestet are pretty cheap compared to that and just really strong. Read the ring and Amulet section for additionall info if you didn't already. " I'm glad you want to help, but i don't think is the best way to do it. Flat Elemental Damage on weapons scale very bad. I also couldn't find any weapons with Fire Penetration (or general Penetration). Did i miss something? " Before you choose Spirit Void, check Righteous Decree first. Reduces your skill costs and improves your Mana Pool by alot which leeds to a higher mana leech also. Last edited by Rake7 on Jun 11, 2019, 10:15:03 AM

Sorry if this is a noob question. Is there any particular reason to use swords instead of some small modifications to use axes?

HellO!
First of all: Really-really awesome build guide. The best I ever saw. Really good work. Thanks for that. I have a question tho: I don't know what am I doing wrong, but my phys damage reduction is shitty. (I even die a couple of times because of that.) Around 26-32% (with fortify always on). Could you give me some advice? I was following the version before the gem-chenges. My character: https://pastebin.com/iEAqN2Zp Thank you in advance! Edit: I don't really understand the high DPS-boost behind the transcendent flesh jewel. Could someone explain it? Last edited by Zekanyd on Jun 11, 2019, 1:23:28 PM

" Last time i tried Axes in PoB it was still noticeable worse. | |
so there is a problem with atack speed or not ?
Multistrike now is shit :/ why dont use blood rage? i need fucking more atq speed | |
Got a 6 link, 5 red 1 green. So I have to use Ruthless since the stock 4 are assumed. Which leaves me with 1 red left. Close Combat or Pulverize? Hmmm.
I'm thinking Pulverize. Also going off memory I may have had the wrong tree up but he took away some nodes. I'll have to check after work if that was the case, or I had an earlier Last edited by KitesAreFun on Jun 11, 2019, 11:20:12 AM

Great build ! Thank you so much !

Immortal Call without CWDT? Hmm?
| |
" Gem got changed? Read description? Hmm? | |
Great guide and thanks for the trade links!
Working my way through yellow maps at the moment as a JUGG, trying both Tec Slam and Cyclone. Managed to snag a foil that had slightly higher dps than ahns for 10c and it feels great! I personally like JUGG more as a starter because of the higher attack speed and binding leap slam end charge on stun ensures i'm always capped on charges. Jugg also makes Tec Slam screen wide which is amazing. Keep an eye out for foils at around 150-200 pdps. People are already selling them for 10-15c and if you're lucky you can snag one thats better than ahns and the extra attack speed makes a huge difference to the feel of the build. Getting the unique flasks, a 6-link and another good weapon will make me hit more than 1 mil dps with a screenwide aoe on a super low budget. 10/10 build. |
