Thx for the nice build. My first slam build in a league and very nice to play.
You should consider updating your initial post with the changes e.g. to the warcries and the reservation mastery. Additionally there are no rapid expansion jewels anymore.
All the best for future changes!

i agree, the guide is in need of much of a rework but unfortunately its alot of time and im considering discontinuing the guide

Bad to hear, unfortunately I decided for slamming serker for this league. But still fun to play! Maybe you can rededicate it to earthshatter or another slamming skill...your work is still appreciated!

Think Im doing something wrong with gems/gear..
What gems/gear to swap out?
Feels like Im dying quite to easy sometimes and also lacking single target dps.

I am pretty new to slam builds and melee builds in general and understand that there is a lot of variation and skill expression in warcrys and slams. Is anyone able to give me an idea of a good warcry/slam rota for just general mapping.

Ex.

Infernal > Slam > Slam > Slam > Intimidating > Slam > Slam > Repeat

Any advice would be much appreciated, currently enjoying the build.

Thanks!

hey Frawrst, need some advice , do the rage gem stacked with Crave the Slaughter or we drop the gem after 3 lab ,the same with cluster overlord and passive node near call to arms ? if we use brutality we dont use the infernal cry yes ? what a good thing to anoint and how we can fit determination + def banner + blood sand + purity + pride + flesh and stone > thanks!

i typically drop rage gem by the time i get warbringer as it gives all the rage gen we need

cluster overlord is a bit outdated, i just go with fort gem or the fort on hit mastery

infernal cry still works, as long as IT (infernal cry) is not linked to brutality

you wont be able to fit that many auras without alot of aura effiency

pick and choose which ones fit your style best (determ is almost mandatory now)

annoint is preference, i like crystal skin for more max res

all your gear seems to be in a good spot

use 20 abrasive catalysts on belt for 48% more

you may also consider putting all your warcries into your helm, it has built in second wind link

berserker is not suited for how OP some of the archnem mods are, after they are nerfed next week we should be able to handle more and more

the "low" dps happens when you low roll alot of hits in a row with ryslathas, its a part of the build since when we high roll we can 1 shot bosses etc

Thanks!

this is generally the correct idea

warcry, slam slam slam, intimdating, slam slam slam, enduring, slam slam slam, back to infernal

you want to put down totems, pop berserk and bloodrage just before this as well

@frawrst

You went impale this time, is this considered the best idea by now?
I could get some great old one´s tentacles with vulnerability and run impale support, but would I have to take some node on the three or something else?

thanks in advance!

Hello frawst,

First of all, thank you very much for your guide and recent insights on this league.
I really enjoy the playstyle of this build, even though I was a bit surprised at first by the number of buttons I need to press.

I'm level 85, and I don't feel the need to take up further aura nodes. I wonder if it's better to go for a cluster jewel (right above Resolute Technique), or go towards the center and pick up more rage and life nodes (Berzerking and Consitution). I currently have ~5.2k life.
Thoughts ?

Thanks again

Does this build get better once I run ULab? Cause its frustating as hell fighting this ANem bullshit that literally has more health then 10 map bosses combined and can literally 1-2 shot me thru berserk and 90% DR.

impale has been a good way to scale non crit phys for a while, youd have to check pob for your own dps to see if its "the best"

you want to hit 100% impale chance, via gems, jewels, dread banner etc
