[EA] Poupado's Corrupting Cry Titan

— INTRODUCTION —
This build is mainly the use of only Seismic Cry with Corrupting Cry for corrupted blood stacks that scale with 25% of your strength, making this a strength stacking build. It is quite a surprising map clearer and has decent boss DPS, not as good as the meta but still better than it should.

Pros
- Tanky (Lots of life and regen);
- AoE clear around you;
- Can focus on dodging while having to only cast once to maintain stacks up to 5 seconds;

Cons
- May decide to mute your Sound Effects after awhile;
- Less one suffix for resistances;
- Less attack speed if using shield charge for travel;

— GAMEPLAY —
You just run around screaming your lungs out and mobs die.
Use shield charge around the map for speed (dodge roll before hitting a mob so you don't put your warcry on cooldown!)
For bosses, scream while they're in their starting animation as the stacks will be at 10 once the fight starts and create Shocked Ground with your minions for another 50% dmg, these minions being a fodder minion whose job is to die at the boss and Storm Mage minions who you command them to create that ground with their corpses.



— GEMS —
Seismic Cry
The main skill for damage has the following supports:
-> Pin(Mandatory, skill never goes on cooldown)
-> Corrupting Cry (duh)
-> Brutality (+35% dmg)
-> Swift Affliction (+35% dmg)
-> Magnified Effect (More AoE)
In the future, possibly switch Magnified Effect with Rageforged (+35% dmg) for bossing if I get a way to generate rage without compromising much.

Skeletal Warrior
A skill to create minion corpses has the following supports:
-> Infernal Legion
-> Minion Instability
-> Freeding Frenzy
Essencially, anything that will help them die faster.

Skeletal Storm Mage
A skill to use the previous corpses to create Shocked Ground with the following supports:
-> Overcharge (20% shock into 35%, duration of ground is the same)
-> Despoiler
-> Last Gasp
-> Elemental Army
-> Minion Mastery
Essencially, anything that will help them live longer.

Voltaic Mark
A skill to use with Shocked Ground to turn it from 35% shock to 45% with the following supports:
-> Persistence
-> Arcane Tempo
Essencially, anything that will increase its duration and faster casting, because we can and we're not using those anywhere else, leave this gem as lowest level as possible, level is pointless. Quality however will have ground shock for 50% instead!

Blasphemy
Extra defenses:
-> Enfeeble
-> Heightened Curse

— ITEMS —
They're not necessary to make it work but if you want to truly scale strength and have the best items in slot, you have the following two unique equipments:
-> Black Sun Crest Helmet
-> Astramentis Amulet

Besides that use Sceptre & Shield and just get strength wherever you can with the resistances you need, it's straightforward.

For the Sceptre, get these stats by order of importance for maximization:
-> Strength
-> Intelligence (Can use higher lvl minion gems for extra minion life)
-> % Spirit (Can have more of both minions for uptime)
-> Any minion defensive stat

For my last recommendation, due to the very high life we'll have, the Expert Steel Plate is our best body armour base due to the life regen based on our maximum life.

— TREE —
Current tree Here
Since our main damage isn't an attack skill, there's little modifiers that will help us increase our damage, the ones that do are the following in the tree:
+% increased physical damage
+% increased warcry damage

That's it for the tree itself, however, we can indeed scale it further with jewels, you should look for ruby jewels with the same damage mods and defensive mods:
+% increased global physical damage
+% increased warcry damage
+% increased life regen rate
+% increased armour
Bonus points if corrupted for strength.
Because of this, we take all those sockets we can to slap these in, it is possible that a time-lost jewel with large radius in the right socket can be better.

All else we can get on the tree is strength and a whole lot of life regen which will scale nicely due to our large life pool.

Since Titanic's (+5% str) cluster doesn't do much for us, I like to annoint it instead to save some points.
