Yes, but know that the damage has been reduced, it might be a problem in the boss end game(Sirus8/9, Maven) I will try to bring a video with a setup that I get a dps similar to the current one after nerfing. Remembering that the videos are from the previous league, fights will take longer because they have less damage. NEW POB IN SECTION New Warcry Rotation Boss? Intimidating Cry - Earthshatter (x2) - Intimidating Cry - Earthshatter (3x). Changes 3.14: Petrified Blood has great potential. Seismic Cry 30% after / Now 20% Flesh and Stone increased mana reservation,I'm waiting for the pob to update to see how it will look. Update \/ Important
Spoiler
After the update of the pob, you have several options, so you can keep pride + flesh and stone + blood and sand + dread banner.
Option 1: You will have to use an enligthen 4 + annoit sovereignty. Option 2: Get the Stance Skill Reservation node + enlighten 4. Option 3: Use 3 items with non-channeling -9 to zero the skill cost +(Enlighten 4, annoit sovereignty or stance Skill reservation). Option 4: Take out the blood and sand + enlighten 3. To use Petrified Blood you have to remove the flesh and stone + enlighten 3 + annoit sovereignty. In most cases your mana will be low, so I recommend an item or jewel with phy leech of mana. There are also other options, I didn't list them all. You can also use pride + blood and sand + dread banner, there will be a good amount of mana left. You can also use herald of purity instead of flesh and stone, you lose the defensive part of flesh and stone, but you will keep almost the same damage, will only need enlighten 3. New pob. 1.1 Pros: -Tank -Good DPS -League start -SSF Viable -No need cluster jewels -Active gameplay -Easy to gear -Can do all content in the game -90% Effect of Fortify Cons: -No Afk Build -No One-Shot Boss Build -Not a one button build -No super clear speed -Can not do Phys Reflect maps 1.2 What is Earthshatter? Earthshatter is a melee slam attack skill. When used, it sends out multiple fissures outwards that creates a spike. When these spikes are hit by a warcry, they detonate to deal area of effect damage. You hit the ground, causing damage to enemies around you, with each hit you generate 5 spikes, you can give a maximum of 3 consecutive slams, so you will have 15 spikes.  2.0 Skill gems, passive tree, bandits and pantheon.

Spoiler
Body Armor: Earthshatter > Melee physical damage > Fist of war >Impale > Brutality > Pulverise/Close Combat Close Combat vs Pulverise
Spoiler
Pulverise = + DMG + Area Damage - Attack Speed Close Combat = + DMG based Proximity + Attack Speed Both are great, I played almost all the time in Pulverise, most recently I came to test closed combat, my opinion that in the boss category, close combat is better because it gave us a lot of attack speed, allowing for faster combos. In terms of maps, pulverise, but there is no need for exchange, the 2 perform well in both cases. Gloves: Pride > Flesh and stone > > Enlighten support > Maim Axe 2Handed: Enduring cry > Intimidating cry > Seismic cry > Second wind support > Dash > Blood Rage Support Boots: Dread Banner > Blood and Sand > Vaal Ancestral Warchief > Culling Strike Helmet: Vaal Molten Shell > Cast The Damage Taken > Increased Duration > Enfeeble (Vulnerability + DMG) Alternative Gems We have many options for alternative gems, they are not mandatory, but they are good options.
Spoiler
Anomalous: Maim, Flesh and Stone, Second Wind, Earthshatter. Divergent: Pulverise, Second Wind, Pride. 3.0 GEAR, JEWELS, FLASKS, Anointments You don't exactly need these items to make the build work, life and resistances are enough, the only thing you will need is an axe with good dps.
Spoiler
IMPORTANT: Requirements on your gear: Int for Enlighten 3 = 73Int /Enlighten 4 = 96 Int, Dex for Dash/Blood Rage 155Dex. (You can also lower the level of the dash and blood rage or use another movement skill, Smoke mine e etc) IMPORTANT: Two items must have non-channeling. IMPORTANT: The more armor you have on the items the better, attack speed I also recommend you have it on your glove, and then on your axe. Quickly analyze item: Helmet: Life>Armor>Res> Effect Fortify + Tank / Nearby Enemeis -9 Phy + Dps Enchantment Helmet

Spoiler
How does earthshatter damage work? The pob he shows the damage of his slam, he does not count the spikes, so if you have 15 spikes hitting(It almost never happens) total spike damage would be 15 x 0.7 (average slam damage). Warcry rotation with shatter? I'll bring an illustrative video later, but just before the boss appears, or when you approach the boss, I use seismic cry - Earthshatter (x2) - Intimidating Cry - Earthshatter (3x). Then you repeat the cycle, the enduring cry it also breaks the spikes, use at times when I need to regain life, or during a map to generate endurance. On maps I use it more randomly. I need more damage on t14 + /Boss Endgames maps. If you do not have the ring with vulnerability, you change the enfeeble for vulnerability in the curse setup, gems +20, and the main one an axe with 700+/800dps. Best Bases: Karui Chopper, Vaal Axe.

It's like you read my mind I was just thinking this morning to try Champion out with a Melee skill like earthquake or earthshatter! Thanks for posting!

I hope you like it, I'm updating I think until tomorrow complete with some explanations and etc.
I put the pob, but I still think I will have to make some changes, because of the flesh and stone. I put some videos, I was playing with another char, so I'm getting the hang of it again. Last edited by Alkatraz_BR#1251 on Apr 14, 2021, 3:55:56 PM

WIll this build also work for Vaal Ground Slam? if you wanna swap to it
|

" Yes, it is possible, it is that after Heist I did not see anyone using the call of stell + ground slam by the nerf he received. Last edited by Alkatraz_BR#1251 on Apr 14, 2021, 4:54:17 PM

" Vaal GS got a huge buff this league, You can Exert it, so I kinda wanted to try it out eventually. |
|

Horrible damage, horrible clear speed, overall a pretty horrible build, maybe semi-decent until like white maps, after that the damage is pretty bad.
However, survivability is through the roof. Would not recommend to anyone, unless you like wasting time I guess lol. [b][u]Zana[/u][/b]: Still sane, Exile?

" Ok :), I don't know what skill you are comparing, but I will bring videos making most of the game's content little by little. Now if you want "one-shot" boss, you have other options. Last edited by Alkatraz_BR#1251 on Apr 15, 2021, 12:46:03 AM

I wanted to try this build so I grabbed whatever gear I had laying around to get enough hp,def,dps thing is main skill dps is beyond horrible even at 6l 20/20 all gems, it's not worth investing crapton of currency just to raise it up to "barely playable".
