Spoiler
Major: Soul of Arakaali with captured 'Herald of Thunder'. 'Herald of Thunder' gives us '50% increased recovery of life and energy shield if you've stopped taking damage over time recently'. Therefore it is important to use a 'CwDt + Blood Rage + Immortal Call'-setup. (For HC, you can additionally capture 'Shock and Horror'.) Minor: Soul of Yugul. ('25% reduced reflected damage taken') Additional Information:
Spoiler
The Writhing Jar OP for Bosses
Against Bosses without Adds (like Shaper or Uber-Atziri), you can use The Writhing Jar to proc '20% more Damage if you've Killed Recently' from the Headsman-Ascendancy. OPOP.
Lion's Roar
Lion's Roar is a noob-trap, unless you are fighting bosses with the modifier 'cannot be knocked back' (e.g. Chayula, Shaper, Guardians). During normal mapping, with Lion's Roar you will be doing less damage, due to knocking the enemies constantly out of your hit-range. Also, knockback during normal mapping is annoying as fck. ^^
Helmet-Enchantments
Eternal-Lab Helmet-Enchantments, in descending order of damage-increase: 1. Ancestral Protector Buff Effect (if using Ancestral Protector) 2. Cyclone Damage / Cyclone Attack Speed 3. Lightning Golem Buff Effect 4. Blood Rage Attack Speed 5. Ancestral Warchief Buff Effect (if using Ancestral Warchief) 6. Vulnerability Curse Effect Tip: Do the math yourself, instead of just following the herd and buying an insanely overpriced cyclone-enchant. Especially, since the damage-increase from the helmet-enchant is pretty minor, anyways. Just check in Path of Building what enchantment works best with your gear/tree, or think about what enchantment you like the most. The enchants for Blood Rage / Ancestral Protector / Lightning Golem / Cyclone are quite similar in damage, but have considerably different price-tags on poetrade, and also differ in utility.
Ancestral Warchief vs. Ancestral Protector
Ancestral Warchief: • less range on paper, but effectively more range due to AoE • AoE-Attack • hits a bit slower • gives a bit less damage Ancestral Protector: • more range on paper, but effectively less range due to missing AoE • single-target-attack without AoE • hits a bit faster • gives a bit more damage
Mana Leech
If you don't have mana-leech on your items, just skill one mana-leech-node in the passive-tree. Path of Building:
Spoiler
All items shown in PoB are neither wet item-dreams only created in PoB (as seen in some other build-guides), nor unaffordable mirror-tier items (as also seen in some other build-guides), but actual items in my possession.

Spoiler
Starter-Items:
• Use Kondo's Pride (and make sure to skill 'Razor's Edge' in the passive-tree) until you can afford Starforge. • Use Brutality-Support-Gem + Lion's Roar until you can afford Sin's Rebirth + Atziri's Promise. • Helmet-Enchantment is not important, just use Devoto's without enchant. • Daresso's Salute is not important. Just use a rare-amulet, preferably with a lot of intelligence, plus some life and resistances. • Good Body-Armours for levelling are Tabula Rasa or Ambu's Charge. • Only use Blasphemy + Vulnerability (and no Aura), until you have a Lvl-3-Enlighten.
Item-Alternatives:
• Sword: Any rare or unique sword with high phys-DPS. • Helmet: Any rare or unique helmet that seems useful to you. • Amulet: Any rare or unique amulet that seems useful to you. • Belt: Any rare or unique belt that seems useful to you.
Levelling-Tree:
• The 'reduced mana cost of skills' from the 'Tireless'-Nodes is important for mana-sustain, as soon as you want to use your Aura (Grace or Haste) in addition to your Blasphemy-Curse. • If you have problems reaching enough intelligence, you can put a 'Fertile Mind' in the rightmost jewel-slot. • Other than that, just figure it out as you go. Should be pretty easy and straightforward. Last edited by Sossaman_ on Nov 1, 2017, 4:28:35 PM Last bumped on Jan 6, 2018, 12:35:34 PM

Wow, nice guide. This is really what I was looking for. Gonna gear my slayer and give it a try.
One Question, you just need the weapon on 6L? (Qoft version). Which links and gems do you use on armor? And its mandatory mana leech on jewel? | |
" Glad you like it so far. :) Yes, only one 6L needed. Preferably the weapon, so that you can swap QotF/Bronn's/Belly to your liking. Armour only needs 5S with 3L (Leap Slam + Blood Magic + Faster Attacks) + 2L (Ancestral Warchief/Protector + Blind). Regarding mana-leech: You need 0.xx% mana-leech either on gear, or tree (costs one skillpoint). Mana gained on hit on a jewel presumably helps with mana-sustain, but is not required. Be aware that high-lvl Vulnerability needs 155 intelligence. If you have problems reaching 155 int on gear, just use either a lower-lvl Vulnerability, or Fertile Mind in the rightmost jewel-slot.

Nice build. I love the QOTF version. Working on getting Starforge. What do you think would be a good pre Starforge? Kondos?

Why is there no passive skill tree or pictures of items? all i see is this broken pastebin link
| |

Pastebin link is for Path of Building.

" Glad you like it so far. :) Yeah, just buy the highest-DPS Kondo's Pride you can get for 5c, and make sure to skill 'Razor's Edge' to benefit from Kondo's '50% increased Melee Damage against Bleeding Enemies'. Also you can use Lion's Roar in conjunction with Brutality-Support (Brutality instead of Ruthless), until you have a Sin's Rebirth flask. Actually, that's in fact more damage than Ruthless + Atziri's Promise + Sin's Rebirth, but also with the above-mentioned drawback of Lion's Roar's knockback. " Those pastebin-links are for the Path of Building Offline Build Planner. You can import those pastebin-links in Path of Building, and Path of Building will not only show you the Skilltree, but also all used Items, Flasks and Skill-Gems. | |
" that is a bold statement to make without even posting your gear. note: I use PoB, but others might not. having your gear only there is meaningless to those that do not. eg: my QoTNghamu raider.
Spoiler
I can say its doable with 12 ex, but realistically, I put >50 into it. By putting the gear in plain sight, its easier to see where the currency was dumped into. Last edited by djfang on Oct 9, 2017, 4:09:28 PM

" Cost for Min-Max in Harbinger Softcore: 11 ex 700 pDPS 6L Starforge 4 ex Daresso's Salute 4 ex Sin's Rebirth 40 c Devoto's Devotion with Ancestral-Warchief-Buff-Enchant 20 c 5S 3R2G Queen of the Forest 6 c Glassblower's Bauble x40 1 c Aziri's Promise with 20% Phys as Chaos 1 c Belt of the Deceiver 1 c Divine Vessel to capture Herald of Thunder [Edit: forgot 20 c for Lvl-3-Enlighten] --------- 20 ex So 10 ex remaining for Rares + Jewels + Flasks, if you want to stay within the mentioned 30 ex.

How do you prevent being frozen in your build? No Heat Flasks?
Additional note, build has some mana problems. Any recommendations? Thanks. Last edited by DaedelisK9 on Oct 9, 2017, 9:30:06 PM
