Marauder - [3.7] Rake's Tectonic Slam Equipment Guide - from League Start to Endgame - Forum

I'm just wondering if the ascendency should remain the same? The whole endurance generation isn't really needed as cyclone doesn't consume like Tectonic. Would it be more worth going Ramako and Hinekora? Did you change much on the passive tree/ items? I want to try cyclone as well but I am SSF so it is really hard for me to change things. I went for Ramako and Hinekora on ascendency. Got rid of the +1 endurance charge on skill as well as smashing strikes. Picked up Brinkmanship like Rake suggested, and took some more damage and survivability nodes. That's the only changes i've made and it's working really well. Doing red tier maps feels way smoother than Tectonic slam, but I'm still using Ahn's Might, so maybe that had to do with Tectonic slam feeling clunky in the first place :)	Posted by nicklas3101#2185 on Jun 13, 2019, 12:43:06 AM Quote this Post
Need to Smashing strikes? or not ?There's something about the staffs. Please tell me and apologize for the translator ^^ He is for the sake of "10% chance to gain an endurance charge on melee critical strike ?" And about immortal call in gloves.How should he be level? do you have level 10? Should he be in conjunction with a golem? You have written that no.

I honestly haven't looked too much into alternatives yet since I've not pushed my atlas to where I want it to be, so I might in the future end up replacing them. For the meantime though I'm pretty happy with them considering they only cost a few chaos. i regret buying my gloves now :(	Posted by BonusCan#1600 on Jun 13, 2019, 12:52:53 AM Quote this Post
What are your thoughts on using Herald of Ash over Herald of Purity? Ash really feels good with the burn damage for clearing so I've been using it over Purity since I don't really care for the minions.	Posted by MoosieMax#1471 on Jun 13, 2019, 1:10:54 AM Quote this Post
Is there another reliable way to generate power charges other then the gloves? Especially for bosses. Could it be that the most items ( especially foils , rings and amulets with added elemental damage ) are skyrocketing due to the cyclone meta?

Hey guys, are you able to this build without enlighten? An Enlighten lvl 4 as marked in POB seems undoable for me :)	Posted by LesserForms#7751 on Jun 13, 2019, 1:24:38 AM Quote this Post

What am I doing wrong? Try to copy this weapon and look how the damage would be: Rarity: Rare Horror Hunger Corsair Sword -------- One Handed Sword Physical Damage: 69-208 (augmented) Elemental Damage: 30-57 (augmented) Critical Strike Chance: 6.80% (augmented) Attacks per Second: 1.94 (augmented) Weapon Range: 11 -------- Requirements: Level: 58 Str: 81 Dex: 117 -------- Sockets: R R R -------- Item Level: 78 -------- 40% increased Global Accuracy Rating -------- Adds 17 to 31 Physical Damage Adds 30 to 57 Fire Damage 25% increased Attack Speed 36% increased Critical Strike Chance +28% to Global Critical Strike Multiplier 87% increased Physical Damage (crafted) -------- Note: ~price 30 chaos If it's a good dps increase (should be 10-20%, depending on the roll of your Scaeva), than you just have to find the right sword. Many thanks for looking at this Rake I did as you asked and Im getting a -13% drop on my Ahn's equiping this weapon that you posted here.

I'm so confused with the weapons... I imported my character to PoB and looked up some 1-2ex foils but they are showing still showing DPS loss. I'm using dual Ahn's and the only foils that are showing DPS increase for me are like 3-4ex foils.	Posted by Exileee#0195 on Jun 13, 2019, 3:09:43 AM Quote this Post
Finally about to leave slow ass ahn's might behind and move towards faster weapons. Question now is when im able to get some frenzy charge's. What will be the best way to generate some?	Posted by Minihobbe#6068 on Jun 13, 2019, 3:17:13 AM Quote this Post
