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

most slowly and "piano-playing" build i ever played((( bad
I like the build up to T14 -T16 ultimatums, I feel that it lacks a bit of defense. I am only 92 so I lack the last cluster jewel as well as an assasin's mark ring. I am not sure that going higher level alone will resolve this tankiness problem.

Any suggestion ?
So I got my lucky fingers on "The Doctor" and could promptly upgrade to the 15ex budget build. I got all the cluster jewels but I'm only lvl 91 aswell. I noticed that I'm squishier than before and I'm not noticing a big difference damage wise - maybe because I die so often.

I do have 8ex left over though.

Can you maybe take a look at my character aswell as my items ? Very much appreciated !!

I assume you have path of building community mod installed so here is the revised version I come up with, you will need bunch of orb of regrets, 3x jewel which you can use the trade filter provided in the guide to buy, a corrupted blood immunity abyss jewel to replace yours in the belt, and replace cinderswallow with critical chance one, you don't need stun avoid mod. With those changes your survivability and damage should see an increase.

Thanks for the update, the possibility of moving fortify to the jewel gave me another idea, which is just using awakened elemental focus instead of fortify in my 6L.Totem/flamedash/conviction all have over 100% ignite chance at the moment anyway, so not being able to ignite with slams technically shouldn't be a big deal. Although my build barely looks anything alike at this point, I managed to achieve 167m max slam with a similar budget, Will be about 210m after I farm some more currency and craft crit+quality and hits can't be evaded to my new staff.
By the way, calamitous is ridiculously underrated. Not only it gives 30% increased elemental damage and 10% chance to shock/ignite/chill, it also gives 15% increased non-damaging ailment effects, which is same as +15 levels to skitterbots, and they stack. Although PoB doesn't respond to it, you can check from in-game tooltip, which isn't known to be reliable, I know, but I have yet to see a case where it says something adds X but it actually doesn't.
Could you be more accurate with what do mean with gain fortify from overload notable ? I have no idea how to get it
EDIT: I see where do you mind, from large cluster jewel :D

ALright, I'm still feeling very squishy. This wasn't before the change from 6ex to 15 ex.

I have the CWDT Immortal Call Setup up but it still feels like I'm dying way too fast and unpredictable too sometimes. I've died more than 50 times since the build change.

Can some1 tell me what's wrong with my Character ?

You simply don't have enough life/energy shield. With your current setup, you can tank at most 48k phy damage or 52k elemental damage, or just 1.6k chaos damage to not get one shot KO. Your effective DoT pool is even worse, and those calculations assume you are at full energy shield, without it you are even more squishier. I did send a modified version of your setup a while ago but you clearly just keep doing whatever you feel like, why ask for help if you won't listen in the first place?
https://prnt.sc/13b2k5h Where to go from here? Dropped some damage nodes for extra survivability. Does damage even matters past 200m/slam? Its so hard to even modify and min-max over an existing guide, can't even figure how it is to build one from scratch. Thanks for the hard work^^
