Landorak's Tectonic Slam Juggernaut (League starter / Budget) BEGINNER FRIENDLY

Hello friend ! Do you miss the good old Diablo 2 hellfire torch ? Well look no further for Tectonic slam is for you ! Tectonic slam is an attack that , once slammed into the ground, spread a floor of crackling flames and lava upon your enemies. Consuming an endurance charge improves the area of effect and the damages of Tectonic slam. Who says endurance charges says THICC JUGGERNAUT. Going away from the usual ''insert meta skill'' builds, this build will allow you to truly enjoy the smell of your roasting enemies.

In the PoB, you have the different leveling trees (bottom mid-left to select)

You also have access to the base version of the gear and the expensive version

What is Tectonic slam :

You slam into the ground making a cone of crackling flames and lava in front of you. If you you have an active endurance charge, you will consume it increasing the area of effect and the damages of the attack.

Now to fully use this attack, we must generate as much endurance charges as possible. The juggernaut ascendancy is ideal for us since you have 25% chance to generate your maximum amount of endurance charge every time you generate a single charge.

Our endurance charges are then used for offense and defense. Offensively for feeding TS (tectonic slam) and defensively to provide us with tons of physical damage reduction and other cool stuff.

You are ready for any goatman leaping on you.

(Skip to the end of the section if it's not your first time).

You just woke up on the beach of Wreaclast and you are wondering what to do with that nice stick you found on the ground.

Alright, you will want to grab Ground Slam from Tarkleigh and link it in your stick with the Ruthless support you found on the beach. From there, you can use this setup to easily complete Act 1.

You can also grab Leap slam in Act 1, it will vastly help you in going through ledges and others (doors and some walls).

Once level 12 : You can grab Sunder from Nessa in Lioneye's watch and replace Ground slam with Sunder.

In act 2, try to find a 3-link armor/weapon. Easily found while looting or you can buy one from the vendors (if they have one). With that 3-link, you will use Sunder with Added fire damage support and Melee physical damage support.

Grab Herald of Ash from questing and you should be good to go for a while.

Upon reaching Act 3, you will be given Tectonic Slam (lvl 28) but don't be tempted to use it already. Keep going in the Act until you have level 31+ then complete your first Labyrinth. Upon completion, you can get the JUGGERNAUT ascendancy and get Unflinching (Main source of endurance charges). You can now switch Sunder for this sweet Tectonic Slam and begin roasting your enemies.

In Act 4 at level 38, you will be able to get a Cast when damage Taken - Immortal call setup. With your good amount of endurance charges, it will be very effective. You can look into the Path of building to see what support to use with your TS.

Veteran leveling guide :

Uniques :
- Goldrim
- Tabula Rasa
- Lochtonian Caress
- Wanderlust
- Praxis 2x (Or crafted Elreon ring)
- The eagle 2x
- Limbplit
- Brightbeak 2x (you will run out of endurance charges)
- Rare 2H maces with good Pdps until level 65 for Tidebreaker.

Just grab Ground slam / Sunder (lvl 12 ) and shove as much support as you can in you tabula and run with it until you get to first lab. Then get Tectonic slam and go until you've run out of enemies.

You can help Oak or kill them all.

I prefer helping Oak but there is only a very thin difference between the two.

Juggernaut

Normal lab : Unflinching (for insane endurance charge generation)
Cruel lab : Undeniable (Accuracy + strong damage buff
Merciless lab : Unrelenting (Tankier since at this point you begin maps and
resists might be a problem)
Uber lab : Unyielding (More damages)

Look in the Path of building for the gem links.

You can use Multistrike for clearing and swap it for Fire Penetration on bosses. You can also keep Fire penetration in all the time for a tankier option since you will have higher charges in fight.

Also, concentrated effect is good for bosses but you can swap it for increase aoe for maping for else.

Maps : Grutkulh, Lunaris
Lab, guardians : Tukohama, Solaris

Uniques :


Look for rares with Life / Armour / Elemental resistances on them.

Flasks :

In early league when everyone's broke, you can use the following vendor recipe to get a nice Pdps weapon : 1 Blacksmith wetstone, 1 Normal/Magic Rustic sash and a weapon. It will then give you a magic weapon with +% Physical damage. You can then use an orb of augmentation to add another modifier.

Forget elemental reflect map because you will die.
Also avoid no leech / regen maps because they're annoying.

Avoid getting in the lab without flasks to immune to Burning / Bleeding.
