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

Cant afford the craft and i do not have it yet. womp womp. I will have to see what i can manage.
Hi, I finally managed to pop 15 ex to invest into mid tier of this build.

Sadly, its extremely underwhelming.

I am almost 20m less dps than your build in PoB. ( here is link https://pastebin.com/08wiq1zX)

I really dont think our gear is much different, even if I add the missing levels into the tree i still dont reach 40m.

Just did my first sirus this league at A5. Bricked. I just cant get a single second window to manage to cast a fucking slam to hit him before he procs a new special attack. And for some reason he was slowing me or crippling me or whatever and I just couldnt dodge his stuff anymore.

Wouldnt have been an issue if I actually managed to reach a 1 shot slam level of damage.

Idk really, I kept trying and trying, really liked the guide cuz you put trade links and craft guides for almost everything, but, it just felt underwhelming really, it was amazing 1 shot all the way up to A2 conq. After that they started taking a few hits and I was still budget gear.

But it is kind of disappointing that even mid budget gear still does not 1 shot most bosses, or even some juiced up rares in maps, let alone conqs or sirus.

Hopefully you can find out why I am truly missing almost 20m damage compared to you. Otherwise I think league might be over for me, or I might try to salvage anything from gear to make a miner.

Hey there. I'll try my best to explain my point of view here.

First and most importantly, your Amulet is annointed with Winter spirit, which is a wasted damage for us. Make sure you get Measured Fury asap. It makes you jump up in max damage by a little over 20%.

Also you need to get a few more levels, so you can get the remaining notables on your medium clusters and 2 more small jewel slots for the juicy crit multiplier damage. This will push you forward another good junk of damage.

After you got the cluster notables, you could swap combustion support on your Chest for Fortify.

Last but not least, swapping to Anger instead of Herald of Ash will push you forward even more, although this will require a new Amulet, Enlighten level 4 and a Watcher's eye.

For now I'd suggest you focus on that amulet annoint and getting more levels for the Medium Clusters!

Cheers

To pump the one shot damage even further beyond, I'm thinking of adding explode onto the chest.
While expensive, this change lets us drop the devastator nodes on the large cluster jewels. For one large jewel we can take the "Overlord" node which gives us fortify, and for the other any 3 notable jewel will work.
The key is that doing this allows us to swap fortify support in the chest with concentrated effect support (up to 55% more dmg vs 35% more on fortify support)
I pulled up these changes in the min-maxed POB and the damage went from just over 200M to almost 230M!

First thanks @Chara_xd for answering questions!

Now about your build. Yep, Chara's comment is right. On top of that, I also noticed that your skills aren't fully leveled up yet, which is another factor.

I used your POB and did a few tweaks on skills plus adding Measured Fury notable, then your max damage is becoming 36M now. The rest of the damage difference is due to weapon, if I paste my mid-budget weapon in your POB, your damage is now 39.99M - almost the same as mine.

You can buy Elreon's Veiled jewellery from trade, it usually takes ~8 unveil to get the t3 -mana cost craft. I don't think it's that bad. You can also pm me in game and I can help

That's pretty interesting, the only concern is the reduced AOE. That will impact our clearing speed and quality of life a lot. For example, we can no longer use slam as a ranged attack on bosses (like what we did in the simulacrum video).

About A8 Sirus.

With this build I seem to stagger/stun him. He stops the cast of the spinning ball when he gets hit by a big slam, so the most annoying phase doesn't even happen lul.

I love this build. It offers everything that promises.

2 more questions if possible:

What about stun immunity/resist- You only seem to run the enchant on boots and use solaris. Is it enough for bossing?

Do you have any tips for maven breach fight?

Thank you in advance for the swift support. Im editing my post and there is already a reply.

I managed to rebalance my res to get the enchant. I am struggling with dex\int requirements a little bit right now, so wasting two passives for the 30 nodes. Working on crafting my remaining clusters now, and going to see if i can find a 21 Tectonic Slam.

I did my first deathless sirus of the league, but my damage is still low. Trying to figure out what i need to do to fix that. I know my weapon is weak comparatively but can't afford a better yet. Got a staff in the bank i have been spamming harvest on but no luck yet. I know my gear needs work but i still think i am missing something. I got the slam rotation down, but it seems very feast or famine when it comes to damage, sometimes i feel like a god, other times rares take 2-3 hits.

We will use Unwavering Stance for stun immunity until the very very end-game, more detail explained in Q&A, you can refer to mid-budget POB for skill tree.

I don't see anything particular about the breach fight, I have cleared them even before the mid-budget gear. Once you get the stun immunity it shouldn't be any problem.

A general suggestion of maven's multiple boss fight is that first focus on finishing off 1 or 2 bosses while kiting the others around. Also, leverage our big AOE, we can use our tectonic slam as a ranged attack so we don't really need to be near the bosses.
