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

I want to give special thanks to @sas115 for helping others while I'm away.

In the new league, I'm planning a much more tanky version of the build and I will update the guide accordingly.

Hey great build! Most likely gonna use something similar as leaguestarter.

What are your toughs on running Malachai's Artifice with a golem to have EE? Most likely with ice golem or stone golem with a jewel that adds cold damage to minions. Would't it be better than the profane proxy or as another alternative for a cheap ring?

Im at level 74 atm following pob without clusters.. Tabula plus that uniq 2h weap non 6l.. maan.. I feel the damage but the clearing is very slow.. I think this build without explo chest is a no no.. Correct me if I am wrong. I was thinking to use your fantastic build for ultimatum but.. Seems like there will be a prob without explo chest. Any advice?

Run Herald of Ash...

No, special thanks to You @JennoJoyce for making this awesome build :D

Im planning to start league with this build so i just kept being around as i have nothing better to do and it also allowes me to check few things while im at it, if i see somthing intresting to test i will most likely post it there and i may answer others questions aswell when i have the time.

New league changes will require us to do some stuff differently but the core of the build stayes the same and two early "tiers" are safe to be untouched.

The only thing that i would consider is using breathstealer already after the budget not crit version as we got ourselfs ritual 2.0 and those buffs will be once again really powerfull early on fixing some of the issues we may have coming from low budget (not to say the gloves should be cheaper now as people will be running rare or even corrupted blighted maps for those extra chest drops and rarity and quantity greatly affects how many of those unique blight items drop)

My first play on this build so maybe someone more knowledgeable can also chime in, but my experience was 30c is achieved pretty easily than transition into 2ex where your doing really good damage but yea clear is ok not terrible. Also when you learn rotation of keeping buffs up and dashing through your last exerted slams they travel pretty far.

I got to double curse chest with crit chance and got explodes through the cluster jewels, my gear is not great by any means I was really impressed with a ok 15ex type. Clear speed is increased and damage output is wild, also I learned how to craft a bit playing this build and makes things much more achievable. And you might roll some good clusters where you can make money or buy some that you need.

In the end I'm playing this again forsure. But long story short you can kinda back door explode chest with cluster jewels.

Hope this helps

And this is the correct way of thinking! Dont rate this build based on you having bare bones character that just got to maps because at that point you will be slowly going through low tier maps up to tier 5's where this performance is still good, somwhere in that you will upgrade your gear to increasee your clear speed and dmg aswell by changing to the next tier.

JennoJoyce made sure to give a proper advance line unlike a lot of the guides so please use it as he explained most of the things you may want to know.

Devastator is still going to be an option.

Will you update this for 3.14 ?

Yeah obviously but he is 74 and i checked his char, all pretty basic so that is not an option imho, he isnt running herald tho and it greatly helps with clear.

How about using Leapslam with Lifetap and using new Vitality extraction?

His issue is the fact that he want this build to clear like a build you invested 10-20ex+ into right out of the act 10 with bare bone items.

I really dont know what he expects at league start...

This build is easy and cheap to gear and is able to clear all early content you have to clear, as time goes you upgrade the gear with currency you made and improve everything bit by bit at the same time as you advance further into the maps, by the time you get to red maps you should end up with fully completed budget non-crit version of the build and slowly transition into crit version where things get really juicy.

Edit.

Leap slam as the name sugests is a slam and would consume our exerted attacks from warcries so Nope. Not to say leap slam is not really a good choice for a build that attacks slowly, dash or flame dash will perform way better.

I guess, but the question about Vitality extraction and lifetap still stands, it adds pretty good layer of life regen. Atleast for early maps before we get cinderswallow.
