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

Hey :) So far, I'm using your build (at 2ex stage rn) and i try to make transition for enother stage, but things got very expensive (prob bcuz no harvests and burning arrow builds). Could you refresh some notes about how to transition regarding ultimatum league ? (Or its like WiP right now since you seem to be mid 2ex > early mid crit. The 2ex build seems to lack a bit on 14+ tier maps both survi and damage ;c
I'm looking forward for further updates on build :D

Thanks :)

I give up. I like this build, I really like the playstyle, but with the current state of crafting it's impossible to get endgame gear without throwing hundreds of ex in it. And I think sniping for the gear in trade is affecting my mental health.
I wish you all best of luck.

ELP! I've hit a wall at t10 maps and for the life of me cannot figure out why my dps is only 3.3 mil average hit when I have all the gear for the "Early Mapping version for Ritual - 5.5M max damage/hit with 30c budget with level 76" which is 8.3 mil average hit. Below are the pastebins:

Any help would be greatly appreciated I would love to fight Sirus for the first time on PC, I've beat him hundreds of times on Xbox. Console Andy cry for help.

only advise I can give is to use another build, this one is scuffed after the starter build, it gets you to red maps and then you're done. unless you can afford 30-50ex to move to a sub par crit version that still struggles you should move on.

I was honestly considering rerolling. I don't like the playstyle of this build. Lot of buttons, little damage from what I can see.

Hmmm, is a bit discouraging see you guys struggling with this build, I was already leveling a marauder to try out this build but at this point I'm a little bit afraid start to invest my hard earned 25 exalts on this build just to find out it just sucks...

Nobody already tried to maybe tweak it a little bit to use low life mechanics with Bloodthirst + petrified blood and maybe str stacking? I don't know, just giving out ideas about how we can make this build work without having to invest 100 exalts on it.

Any view from the build creator? Did he made any progress? I just see the 2 exalt build updated for ultimatum league, the rest is as before.

Well i dunno what problems yall be having but im doing just fine with the old version of the budget stage and im a total nub. (made it to first sirus fight but died too much because i ran into the deathswirls a couple times when going back after some bs beam hits and his second phase was at about 20% hp or so)


Also havent even been using herald of purity(waiting for enlighten to level up) and im not going to roll socket colors on the weapon for just phase run.
Through the gameplay of doing maps and delve/heist/alva and other cool stuff there is all im missing from the mid budget crit version are: 1 large cluster, 2 mediums, timeless jewel and the hunter influence body armor.

I can't really provide much insight, as I'm still fairly early into it. However I've been running through 14,15 reds and ultimatums for the most part without that much trouble.

I'm definitely not one shotting bosses in higher reds but it's certainly not taking ages to kill anything, and whilst ultimatums can be a bit sketchy at times its not as bad as others are making it out to be and my gear is pretty shit at the moment.

Yeah, it's working well for me too and I'm running the old setup. Most high red bosses die in 4-6 fully exerted slams. Can't remember the last time I died to an ultimatum and I've been doing t15-16 all week. Not the fastest but done t16 conquerors and a6 sirus easily, the only thing that I remember dying to recently is a veritania shotgun

Can some1 link me good leveling Uniques? I feel like I'm incredibly weak, although I'm only in Act 2 now. Also which Gem Setups are good for early on ?
Never played meele and I'm feeling a bit lost. Thanks in advance.

melee doesn't have super good leveling uniques you can use all story like casters do. You need to find or buy from vendors white axes with the highest phys damage available at your level, and vendor recipe them with a rustic sash (rare being the best result) and blacksmith whetstone; this adds %phys damage to your weapon. You need to do this continually throughout the story if you're not finding decent weapons on the ground along the way otherwise your damage will be pretty bad.

Most gem setups use the basic ones. Any slam, ruthless and onslaught at first, then add melee phys (and ele damage for tec slam), fist of war, pulverize or forify by end of act 4.

Once you get Resolute Technique your damage will also be a lot better and more consistent

Any reason you suggest formless flame over formless inferno? The latter has way more armor.
