[Titan] Explosive Stampede | Tanky Super Fast clear and superb boss dmg (ENDGAME) (RIP)
" Thank you for replying! Are there any guides you might be able to recommend. I've been trying the Rolling Slam + Earth Shatter and its been such a brutal experience. Takes forever clearing maps, bosses are just difficult and almost feel impossible. Was hopeful I could ascend to maybe help, but being level 27 and doing sanctum.. I've died many times to the boss. |

" I feel you. I ascended at level 38-40, at the end of act 3, when i killed boss in 5-6 hits with sunder. Just try to level. Try to craft a good two handed mace. look at vendors. dont pile up orbs. use them. level up skills. until Sunder i was rolling with Rolling Slam + Boneshatter. also when i got a nice weapon i just auto attack that builds up stun then bone shatter. Get Herald of Ash, it helps. Didnt find Infernal Cry any good so dropped it for Shockwave Totem. that helps with some dmg to bosses. It takes time to kill bosses but my general idea was hit with auto attack then dodge. Had to respec couple of time. At the end of act 3 its just 1 auto attack then boneshatter, or just 1 Fist of war Sunder. Hope that helps. |

I'll share a bit of my experience leveling..might not be optimal, but I worked xD
For the most part I was using rolling slam + boneshatter, but I it was too slow for bosses or any other issue I just restocked my jewels and use auto attack with speed gem(forgot name) and usually brutality. And it's just tedious one hit one dodge until you're done. Not super fun but it works. Also if you feel like you hit the wall.. for me, weapon upgrade solved that most of the time |

Could you update the gem section to include 6-link options?
|
|
" I will when i have the 6 links, i need to do some tests to make sure what's the best. But I have only 5 links. Without tests I assume that the best would be Stampede + Overpower + Devastate + Fire Infusion + Armour Explosion + Magnified Effect or Stampede + Overpower + Devastate + Fire Infusion + Armour Explosion + Heft |

To my experience leveling with this build (aka all the levels before sunder) rely on a good gun. So go ahead and fuel that gambling addiction for the sake of a proper weapon. Rolling for 100-200 damage on a weapon (somewhere at act 2) should be a comfortable number. Assuming that you already tunneled your way to giant's blood. Everything else is the same as for other people: rolling slam + boneshatter, then jumping slam + boneshatter, into sunder, and finally stampede. Support gems are the same as in guide that you have access to at your current level. Wish you luck and hope you like the build as much I do!
Ah, and for bosses don't neglect perfect strike. Faster attack speed + ignite duration + extra fire damage support gems make it a good boss killing tool. Ignite adds a lot of DPS, especially with bosses that make you run around a lot. When you get warcry you can do a half-combo replacing god's hammer with sunder + aftershock support gem.

so is the idea that you're stunning and not killing with the initial stampede (just to clarify that you don't actually stun if a minion is killed)?
Also, for second vial, did you go with chaos res or stats to get enough str? |
|
" No, you should be stunning with the first stampede. The slam and the explosion of the steps (Not the armour explosion) on the stampede can stun, and you should be heavy stuning them with that. If you are not doing that then you need more stun buildup. And once a minion is killed by armour explosion, that explosion itself will heavy stun other enemies and make a cascade effect.

Have u tried 2x maces?
I mean dmg is almost 2 more! |

Sorry, i forget to add;
using 2x maces is way more better in early game during the campaign! |
