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

Hey all, wanted to share my variation of the build. I (sort of) lucked out early on and found a 670 pDPS axe, so I decided to try to make a budget crit axe variation of the build to carry me through maps while I farmed up currency for the crit staff version.

Here's my POB: https://pastebin.com/yLW8JQPQ

It's accuracy based, but I've still managed to get to 100% hit chance with a few passive nodes including a large cluster jewel, and two pieces of gear with high accuracy rolls. This was way cheaper than a 3ex craft, but wouldn't stretch as far in a high budget version.

Gear was put together for around 2ex total, and obviously there is plenty of room for improvement as I slowly move into the mid-budget range. Next up will be a chest upgrade.

The build performs well, only real downside is that the crit chance is still <50%. Doesn't really make a difference for clearing, but boss damage can be a little bit unpredictable and sometimes takes a few hits to kill. I also can't swap out Combustion for Fortify just yet.

Sorry if this has already been asked, there are a lot of pages of comments to go through:

Do you plan on switching any of the medium cluster jewels to the ones that have Exerted Attacks deal 20% more damage (with possible notables that have to do with exerted attacks)? Or are the fire damage over time medium clusters better for damage?

can somebody explain to me step by step how you rek single target?

its only my 2e league, for clearing thrash nps.

i have a general idea so that we.

be4 boss we shout for endurance charges.

6charges +totem => +2 warcries ( cant even remember their name ) => slam?

In Q&A section, the "I have same gear but can't kill normal mobs" question answers your question exactly.

Do i have a good item filter for this build. With bases and other good things?

I just use the Neversink item filter, what's important to us will already be highlighted by the filter.

Is this base sufficient enough to craft "hit's cant be evaded" on it? It's a 3ex craft so I wanna make sure it's worth it lol

This is similar to the one I used in mid-tier build in heist, so yeah.

I wanted to thank you for the guide. I've been having quite a bit of fun with it. As I'm far from a professional, my question to you is how I should proceed with this staff?

Is this worth continuing to craft on, and if so, what would the next proper steps be? I have the physical attack modifier harvest mod saved (the one that costs one exalt) if that helps.

Thanks in advance!

I would not recommend this staff base, in gear sections, we explained what are good staff bases.

Hi,

the exerted attack cluster jewel has 20% increased damage, not more damage.

the fire damage over time cluster is still preferable because the notable skills are stronger.

New neck, who this? haha

Scored it for 5c until I can start working towards better gear.

Is there a better base than judgement staff for wep crafting? Wouldn't a better method be alt spamming for good phys %

what do you think of this staff cost me 7 ex total.

of course i wanted more physical got 2 t4 but all the rest of the mod are pretty good and on the market right now for this price there nothing crasy. Almost all of them have a craft on them already so cannot craft cannot evade
