Pros: - One-Shot almost every boss in the game - Easy league starter with infinite scalability - Real Tank with massive defensive layers - No gem swaps - Not "life-flask" dependent - Screen-Wide AOE - Fun and Active Playstyle (which can be a con for some plebes) Cons: - Mediocre clear speed compare to the META - Require some time to learn your rotations and git-gud - Can't do no-regen and phys-reflect map mods Offences: - Huge damage burst - Prefire Warcries and earthshatter spikes - Screen-Wide AOE - Using Crit-Impale build combo which scale really good. Defences: - Permanent fortify (buffed) - 4% less damage taken from nearby enemies with the alt-quality Dread Banner - Stun Immune - Easy Ailment removal thanks to warcry node - A-lot of phys mitigation - CWDT-Molten Shell and Vaal molten shell - Stun huge packs of monsters The Good Stuff (Items, POB and manual)
Spoiler
Items: POB: https://pastebin.com/UTEwntjW (Im using HH so the belt is a filler I used to record the videos, you can get much better one) How to play: Start of the map - Blood rage + Sand Stance Heal - Endurance Cry Extreme heal - Endurance Cry + More Warcries Burn\Bleed\Shock Remove - Any Warcry Before Extreme Situations - Vaal Molten Shell Extra Safety - Place your Banner (I've never done this) Boss Rotation - Blood Stance, Intimidate + Seismic Cries, Vaal Ancestral War-chief, Slam the enemy 3 times and Warcry to activate the spikes. The Cool-Looking Move - Leap-Slam on the spikes instead of Warcrying Choosing Your Axe:
Spoiler
Attack Speed - 1.4 is enough IMO Critical Strike Chance- 6.5% + Physical Damage- get the best you can pay for. Important: Attack speed is for feeling-good, not so much for damage, Don't fall into the trap of high pDPS Axe with huge attack speed and low raw damage like i did. FYI I did all the content with Sinvicta's Mettle so dont't worry if you got no currency for GG axe. Crafting:
Spoiler
I'm a plebe crafter, please take this section with a grain of salt. Helmet: Step 1 - Get elder base with the Earthshatter enchant and roll "nearby enemies eat %increased shit", Step 2 - Get crusader helmet with T1 increased fortify effect. Step 3 - Use awakener orb on the crusader helmet and slam it on the elder base. Now you have the desired mods and both are suffixes, so "suffixes cannot be changed" + scour combo is a viable option. Axe: Get ilvl 83 6-link Fleshripper with Elder or warlord influence, use perfect fossils to get 30% quality and choose one of these Methods: Method 1 - Spam with Zeal Essence (can make the fastest axes in the game) Method 3 - Spam with jagged fossils Method 4 - Spam with Jagged + Shuddering + Sanctified Fossils Method 5 - Spam with Alts and Regals + Multimod Always look for combination of attack speed, flat phys, %increased phys, crit chance and Hybrid mods. culling strike is also good. you probably want to craft whichever mod you are missing + quality. Using methods 1-4 will most likely require you to annul some bad mods and multimod. Before you start to annul and craft I highly recommend to check your axe in POB and simulate the end result. check the trade site for similar pDPS axes to see if its worth it "Physical Modifiers have #% increased Effect" enchant is desired but expansive. Leveling
Spoiler
Axe:When your DPS feels bad use the weapon vendor recipe (highest ilvl base axe you can use + rare rustic sash + Blacksmith's Whetstone). good unique axes: Reaper's pursuit Soul Taker Sinvicta's Mettle (can easily kill conquerors) Auras: Precision, Blood And Sand, Flesh And Stone + Maim. Once you got enough accuracy drop precision and get Herald Of Purity\Pride (depends if you got -mana cost jewelery and enlightened gem). Mobility: Leap Slam + Faster Attack Support until you got enough attack speed to drop the support. Flasks: get Lion's Roar and Diamond flasks ASAP Gem links by priority: Melee phys, Brutality, Fist of War, Pulverise, Fortify. Passive Tree progress: In the POB there are leveling trees including Lv90 tree without cluster jewel. Pro Tips
Spoiler
1. Leap-slam on the mobs will stun them - this is great defensive tool for hard content like delirium incursions. 2. Remember to Vaal Molten-Shell before extreme situations. 3. Every time you warcry you gain 10% life thanks to the node on the tree, abuse that when needed. 4. HH is extremely good and fun with this build, I highly recommend it. 5. you can use Sinvicta's Mettle to proc rampage and then switch to your main main axe. you can't do that when your auras are in your axe, unless you actually put another set of auras and enlighten in the Sinvicta's. 6. The DPS on the POB is not important in this build. you better look on your average hit damage as long as you got enough attack speed to feel-good. FAQ
Spoiler
Q1. Why are we using fortify support if our ascendancy give us permanent fortify? A1. The only 2 better support gems are Concentrated Effect & Ruthless. Concentrated Effect require gem swap and personally i hate it. Ruthless is effective every 3 hits, ain't consistent enough IMO, might worth checking. Since we don't hit so often we want the permanent fortify node. Q2. Is the Imapler node good for the build? A2. Nope, leap slam will ruin the effect. Q3. Should I inverst into the extra impales-watcher eye? A3. Nope, in very rare occasions an enemy will get enough hits to actually benefit from the jewel. you better invest in other gear.
