[3.25] One shot Tectonic Slam Chieftain. Great Damage and Survivability. Melting all content.

Hello there. I'm interested with this build but I am intimidated by the amounts of rare items required for this build. I am kinda new to PoE and I got my first character to maps tier 10 and pushing more, however I am getting tired of playing this build since it requires to flask non-stop. Although the build consists of plenty of uniques instead of rares which makes it easier for me to play around/max a gear slot.

I know my question might be confusing, I just want to know how newbie friendly this build is. Not in the currency side, just how to properly gear the build.

The build does state that the budget can be done with 30c. I personally would continue playing your current build or play something else that can farm currency (Poets pen bladeblast/bladefall costs 25c to play and helped me farm up to t14 and the currency for this build.) This build is really fun to play but it feels like it would be tough to play on a budget. I just started plying this yesterday and I’ve already thrown 10 ex into it. Your mileage may vary.

I want to craft a double curse ring, for the curse Astral Plate. Then I will keep a free place for another good ring.

I want to keep Flammability, and find another curse.
Is Assassin's Mark really nice for it ? Because it will work only for bossing ( because rare enemies will be one shot ). And will not give any power charge.


I hesitate to craft flammability + Ele weakness. Is it a good idea or not ?


I don't find any of this on the trade market. That's why i'm not sure. Maybe it become totally useless.

Love the build so far managed to get perfect clusters for less than 5ex total and now my damage is up to 68m. I am looking to try improve my defence now I tried to simulacrum yesterday got to wave 18 and got one shot 6 times in a row. Am I am missing anything obvious survivability wise or its just a matter of not having effective HP/ES due to my low lvl?

Is there a way to target craft curse rings?

If you are going for "the best" then no.

For the flammability ring, you can craft other mods first then use harvest to get the curse. For the assassin's mark's ring, it's the other way around.

POB has me hitting for 60m now, starting to get rolling.

Just had my first Chimera kill where he skipped his hide in the clouds phase so dps is where I start considering it pretty good. Nearing 70x invested.

Looking into rings and an amulite to switch to anger and replace my no life rings.

I see you take dex nodes in your end game tree, getting dex in is where I'm looking now. I might still try to get it on gear but I probably need to farm a couple dozen more exalts to determine how I'm going to fit this on. I'd prefer to not have to path to dex on the tree but one node wouldn't be too bad.

4.7k life with 1.3k es is a little thin and I'll need this life up when I drop the timeless es node.

Needing to keep that life flask for emergencies for now, I'm feeling pretty squishy and more so when I try to run without it.

You can check your POB, go to calculation and see your Effective Hit Pool. It it is too different from my mid-gear POB's number, you probably want to add more life on your gears also find out where the differences come from.

I don't see your staff.

There's a reason you can't find it on trade, because it won't work. lol

Your character is squishy is because of many reasons. Your level, gear, tree, and play style. Also, it seems like you have not been using the most updated mid-budget POB. I see lots of mistakes, here I'm just going to point out some of them that caught my eye. I recommend you to go to your POB, and compare yours with mine carefully.

As for your gear, you don't have much HP or ES. Get more life on your gears to make sure your life is at least 5.2k. Also we've been using crown of the inward eye for mid-budget gear for a long time, you don't have that. Your weapon itself doesn't have much block either, going in end-game you probably want to use either maelstrom staff or judgement staff to increase survivability.

Your tree, the biggest issue with your character now is stun. I'm sure the 6 times of being one-shotted is because you are stun-locked to death. We've been using Unwavering Stance to get stun immunity for a long time, so you should get that node immediately.

Play style, I don't know how you use phase run, but if you are not an active phase run user, I suggest you to get another phase run linked to your CWDT so your survivability can increase. Also, read the "how to be tanky" under Q&A.


With things set up correctly and played correctly, with mid-budget gear, I cleared wave 20 facing both bosses at the same time without any issue.

Ok, but why it's not working ?

Flammability + Assassin's mark is ok, but not Flammability with Ele weakness ?
