Warrior build talk. Also how does stun work?

I ran into the same issue re: "over-stunning", and dislike that you basically brick your AOE clearing skill as you invest into the mechanic which makes it work (hoping they can add a keystone like Crushing Blows instead primes an enemy for heavy stun, etc...).

That said, someone posted a build on the forums that I've modified and have been loving it: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3621333

Effectively, Rolling slam becomes your main clear skill. Supported with Overpower, Devastate, and Armour Explosion. So you rolling slam into a pack, heavy stun them, which breaks their armour, which then explodes and AOE clears.

I like sunder for boss killing, so I still use Seismic Cry + Sunder/Hammer of the Gods after a roll vs. rares/bosses to deal a ton of damage.

If you are overstunning, drop boneshatter and put armour explosion and the armour break on heavy stun support on one of your attacks. It will cause you to break armour of enemies you heavy stun which explodes. The explosion will then also stun nearby enemies, breaking their armour and exploding. This can chain and clear entire screens.


Best use over overstun builds.

This is no longer the case since the broken armor gem fix. Is it still effective?
