THE WEAPON GEM LAYOUT I AM SHOWING IS FOR DISFAVOUR/STARFORGE AKA NON-FORTIFY WEAPONS - IF YOU HAVE A WEAPON WITH FORTIFY BUILT IN, REPLACE FORTIFY WITH DAMAGE ON FULL LIFE
If you have a white socket in your weapon, swap Pulverize for Impale
If you do not have a white socket in your weapon, swap Pulverize for Dmg on Full Life.
6L Fortify Weapon:
If you are lucky enough to have Fortify built into your weapon, replace Fortify with DMG on Full Life
Boots:
Enlighten | Pride | Flesh and Stone | Maim Support
Flesh and Stone blood stance maim's nearby enemies. Maim support provides us increased maim effect which is DEFINITELY worth it (600k+ shaper dmg at endgame)
Gloves:
Leap Slam | Endurance Charge On Melee Stun | Faster Attacks | Blood Rage
For shaper, you could replace ECoMS with vuln and manually cast 21/20 vuln for ~7% More dmg if you wish.
Helm:
Ancestral Warchief | Impale Support | Blood and Sand | Dread OR War Banner
Unavailable
AW Totem boosting our damage and helping our Impale stacks. Blood and Sand blood stance providing more dmg. Dread OR War Banner boosting our damage as well. Here is how the Banners stack up and what you should pick, depending on your playstyle:
IMO it seems Dread banner is the best one to use while mapping if you choose to never really place it. However, War Banner is still best for single target at endgame because of the adrenaline you gain for 2.5~ sec upon placing it. After making the adjustments to the PoB in it's current state with the aforementioned values we've discussed, it seems the best PURE DAMAGE results are as follows:
#1. War Banner planted (78% More modifier/impale) with Adrenaline it's 10.7m. #2. Dread Banner (110% More modifier/impale) it's 9.75m with or without the banner planted. #3. War banner planted, no adrenaline is 9.31m. #4. War Banner not planted is 8.98m.
So it's pretty clear, if you don't plan on setting a banner at all - choose Dread Banner. If you plan on setting the banner and taking advantage of 2.5sec of adrenaline at boss encounters, pick war banner. Again, these are just for damage values - defensive values use your own judgement if you want to take advantage of defensive banner traits.
