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

Hello there,

I chose this build for my first poe character, enjoying it so far.

The problem I am facing right now is that i can't keep shaper alive during red elder fight. Is this due to my low dps or am I just bad at the game? :)

I am going to try today again with Frost wall and see how it goes.

Otherwise, I would really appreciate if you could suggest improvements to my build. Thanks in advance.

Update: Frost wall worked like a charm

Looking at your character, here is what I observed:

  • Get 3R2B1G on your 6L Bronn (very hard to color but gives the most damage)
  • Get Tombfist with 2 abyssal sockets (1 is fine). Intimidation + abyssal jewels give you more damage
  • Get 2R2B2G on your Ngamahu. Check the gems section for recommended setup
  • Use Stygian belt with abyssal jewel. More survival, more damage
  • Replace Basalt with Writhing Jar to proc Headsman
  • Get anti-bleed on your life flask
  • Prioritise life roll on your jewels
  • Get Watcher's Eye with "Gain #% of physical damage as extra fire damage when affected by Anger" (do not get the wrong version)

Good to know that Frost Wall worked. Did you use it to block the projectiles in the fight?
Thanks again for your reply, i really appreciate it as a new player trying to understand some game and build mechanics.

Yes, i used frost wall to block projectiles from hitting shaper and that helped a lot.

Why exactly is 2r2b2g on ngamahu better? I tried simulating it in poebuilder and molten burst does lower damage in that case.

About the gloves, I am very anxious of losing elemental resistances. How much exactly is necessary for comfortable all around play style? From my understanding it is the capped 75% and + 35% to cover elemental weakness on maps.

Combustion provide more damage than Added Fire. It increases the chance to ignite and also provide more burning damage.

Tombfist with 2 abyssal sockets can provide you more life. The 2 jewels can roll resistance and damage on them. The benefit from is too huge to ignore.

Alternatively, you can use a granite flask with anti-curse for elemental weakness maps.

You are on a 5L Bronn. A 6L Bronn with 3R2B1G will give you a lot of damage increase. At least 50% more.

Use Tombfist. It will apply intimidate on mobs and making them take more damage.

Use Stygian belt and you can socket an abyssal jewel in it for more life, more damage.

Looking at your profile, it appears that you are missing 5 skill points from skill book quests. That will open up multiple jewel sockets for you and will further improve your life and damage.

Prioritise life roll on jewels.

Instead of Dying Sun, Writhing Jar will be better as it proc Headsman.
Any idea the best way to get the 3R2b1g on the bronn. Feel like I am just wasting my chrom… better to try the bench and get the 3 socket r?? and hope for 2b or better just to keep spamming chrom till I get it.

Vorici bench 2R1B if your Bronn is 6L give better chance for me.
I figured Slayer with overleech could be a good leaguestarter and be able to delve deep, let's see if this build can meet my expectations :)

I'm probably gonna level dual wield with sunder and respecc into cyclone when i can afford ngamahu axe, those are quite pricey at the start of a league
I really want to get Vaal Pact. Is it a bad idea?
icarly without the car
