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

Hi, recently found some high-value items that sold for a few exalts and decided to respec EVERYTHING and switch to this from Hank the Tank double strike. After the switch and some practice, I went from dying to physical reflect and elemental damage on t13 maps to a HUGE damage increase and CAKE corrupted t15 map runs. I actually even managed to (barely) complete the Hall of Grandmasters. I'm fine with losing the tankiness. Can't hurt me if they die too fast ;) thank you for putting a tremendous amount of effort into an easy to understand and follow guide that I assume hundreds, if not thousands, of people are currently using. Anyways I have a few questions regarding progressing further in tankiness/damage.
1) Why are Titan Greaves preferred? Is it for a specific lab enchantment? The gauntlets are explained but not the greaves.
2) I've managed to find a lot of items that are following your build, but I see that you recommend 3k armour. I only have 1057. My evasion is decent (thanks Bronn's Lithe) but I feel life would be easier if there was a way to get both armour and increased damage. What should I do to be able to maintain damage output while simultaneously maintaining defenses? I got Xoph's blood and ended the east side of the passive tree at Primeval Force and am in the process of getting level 92 so that I can get Vaal Pact. I got the Watcher's eye you described and even have The Red Dream with Diamond skin. Not sure there's anything I can do with my passives. I noticed you mentioning earlier to get a tombfist with TWO abyssal sockets (After I got the one with a singular socket, soml). Will getting the Maim socketed as well increase my damage output enough to try and search for a stygian vise with armour and lose the 42% elemental damage increase? Maybe I shouldnt be loading all of my resistances into my rings, boots, and a bit of my vise. I'm basically unsure of where to go from here lol.
EDIT:
Forgot to mention that my life pool is just shy of 4.9k right now. Would really like some recommendations to get to the next level and maybe do t16 maps, uber atziri etc. for the first time.

Guardians+Shaper,Red Elder, U-Atziri killed

Very nice tweak you have over there with the build. Thanks for sharing. :)

You can also consider running Tectonic Slam. This skill got a really nice buffed in 3.5.

Wow thanks for info. Tectonic slam also have good clearspeed, and more damage than Cons path(almost 2 mln shaper dps). i Will try Uber Elder

Hi All,

Thinking of starting this (in this point in league).

I have been playing POE for 2 years now and the closest i have ever come to doing END Game content is kill 1 guardian....its sad and pathetic.

I want to do this build and i am hoping to do ALL CONTENT and FARM currency/good gear as that seems to be the biggest problem i have...

Any advise/words of wisdom would be appreciated.

PS: As per last post, are we to modify this build for the most DPS with Tectonic Slam as main skill with Atziri's Disfavor?

All,

I have thoroughly enjoyed this build - however I am looking for a few pointers as to my spec.

I know I am missing Xoph's blood, 6L Brons and the dual Tombfist. I went the Champion route as opposed to the Slayer Spec.

Could anyone have a look at my gear / passive tree and see if I am on the right track?

What should I swing and wear to play on HC?

we're not taking "Iron Reflexes" anymore?
why is that? i have 2.8k armor without it
can somebody explain in detail pls

how can i sustain my mana ?

In addition i was wondering which corrupt implicit are good on ngamahu axes. would u recommend sth like life gain on hit , bleeding dmg?

I'm pretty sure any "socketed gems supported by (insert gem here)" wont work because molten burst is not a socketed gem and we only put support gems in our axe. I tested this with a fortify corrupt implicit and nothing happened.

I think "Culling strike" corrupt implicit would probably work and be the best one ?

Can confirm that Fortify does nothing i was hyped i could drop the fort on chest but doesnt work so what other options works is it even worth it trying to double corrupt the axe?

So i noticed that con path gives 50% psy to fire does that mean i don't need avatar on fire ? also i barely see any other info about the cons path version of the build just the 6l

Could this guide be adjusted for getting one of those OP two-handed Betrayal axes that have 750+ DPS?
