[3.17] For Slayer / Champion - Ngamahu Cyclone / Consecrated Path / Tectonic Slam

Will you have for 3.1 again 3 skill-trees? tank, pure dmg and ignote dot? And which of them are the strongest/best for season?

The only change is personal preference of taking VP. I personally would go tank until the league gets a bit further on. With the new abyss jewels, I'd imagine jewel sockets will become a high priority in which 8 can easily be gotten. Also if you plan on lab farming, tankiness is the best because the build does more than enough damage

Impact is meant for single target skill gems (gems without AOE tag). Cyclone is AOE so you won't benefit from it.

I know Cyclone isnt single target, i compare only more AOE. So does it worth it in your opinion?

Btw what do u think about new support gem "Volley support" for our axe?

Considering Ngahamus will probably be expensive as hell on league start, and I am not the luckiest person with chance orbs, any ideas on how to go until you get it? How well does sunder work on this build? Any possibility to do uberlab without Ngahamus and too many respecs?

How this build will work as lab farmer with this changes in ascendacy and VP? Can we still ignore traps cuz of overleech or this will change?

1. U can run some Merc lab early and got many uniq/currency.
2. U can use sunder/ice crash/mb EQ - same tree with cheap two-handed.
3. Manage your tabs for quick chaos recipes. Its worth early.
4. When u find all uber-lab trial i think u will be able afford Ngamahu. Its usually smth around 60-100c.
Btw i wonder the price gona skyrocket if support Volley indeed gona make this build much more insanse.

You can do story and even early mapping with a crappy rare 2h axe just fine on a 4L, but Kaom's Primacy/Hezmana should be cheap early on and are more than enough, farm with that til you have $ for Ngamahu. I'll go for Hematophagy/Vit.Void + VP for leech carry.

Will work just fine, i really recommend VP, overleech will be even stronger on 3.1 so it should be easier.

If you are picking Impact just for the AOE, it is not worth it because Brutal Fervour gives you 100% increased life leech per second, which allows you to reach the maximum life leech cap in a shorter time (faster healing).

On top of the faster healing, you also get immunity to stun and bleed (no Death's Door or Kaom's Root required).

We can try swapping Greater Multiple Projectile with Volley Support to see how it performs. Too early to tell at this point.

And I am curious if it will look like this:

Nope. I told Impact instead of Headsman

Replacing Impact for Headsman is not worth it too. The on kill damage buff is huge. Writhing Jar or even Vaal Breach on boss will speed things up tremendously.
