Simple Warrior from a casual - Easy to build, easy to play

I have just efortlesly defeated Cruel Jamanra
(I'm lvl 59 he was 57, basicaly no grinding on my part at any time).
With warrior who is supossedly the worst.
And I play casualy and probably wrong, so I though maybe I will share.

1. The rotation. It's boring - I like it
Pack of mobs = Rolling slam (half or whole, whatever primes the enemies for heavy stun) + Boneshatter for AoE clear.
Single enemy or Boss = Mace Strike + Resonate Shield for block -> Boneshatter for heavy stun -> Mace Strike

I don't have the best supports (or even use all spaces) so here are all my skills with all support:
Spoiler
- Mace Strike: + Martial Tempo, + Overpower, + Close Combat
- Boneshatter: + Impact Shockwave, + Heavy Swing, + Brutality
For bosses I should probably change Overpower for Brutality in the Mace Strike, but I don't. I don't know what would go into Boneshatter there, I will figure it out later.
- Rolling Slam: + Fist of War, + Unbreakable, + Magnified Effect
- Shield Charge: + Mommentum. (No stomping ground. Because enemies primed for heavy stun by shield charege were hit and I couldn't Boneshatter them [bone them - hehe])
- Resonate Shield: + Demolisher (Block attacs and/or refresh before debuff disapers)
- Magma Barrier: + Fire Infusion (Block does some dmg - yay)
- Time of Need: + Fast Forward (Heals!)


2. Items - Good Flask and a Good Mace
Remember about vendor each level. Especially for flask, but they got them rares as well.

From the start I wanted a life flask that have 10 uses, for bosses. This is a life saver. Now I've found this baby and it's just perfect:

Then mace. Take one that hits hard (I'm a simple man), best if it's only physical dmg. Here is how my maces have progressed (and when I had which one). The current one is amazing, I would only love to change the accuracy for attack speed.
Spoiler
And here is my shitty shield from Act 2, that Im still using. No other shield had high block chance so I didn't change this one.

3. Passive tree - Took what felt right
Here is the base of that tree
https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/vsfqf0vs
What I think is most important?
Besides what is close or more obvious, the "In your Face" in the top left.

Only downside is two spaces for Jewels. Downiside cause they are rare. I have some almost random one, and one from trade, which isn't the best for the build but I wasn't looking for the best, cause I don't like trade (I traded only twice)

What passives to take after that?
Well there are some good options close to that base tree. (I've marked them on my tree in the next spoiler)
- Life Leech from Savoured Blood
- Block with life regen from Hunker Down
- Attack Speed and life regen, closer to the duelist. Both gives buff to the party, but I play solo and they still seem worth it.
(I went for attack speed cause I like attack speed - it's probably a bad choice, who cares)
Spoiler


4. End notes
- I hope you like it or it is helpful in some way.
- If you have suggestions how to improve it, what supports to use etc. please tell me.
- If you have a better physical mace, then daaaaamn good for you. I hope I will find/ vendor + exalt a better one.

Little update
- Cruel BlackJaw and the Sun boss - easy, fast, no danger of being one hit.
- I like accuracy now and I'm happy it's on the weapon. Not hitting even with 1/20 of hits feels kinda worse than fast swinging feels good.
- Shortly after I've said I use old shield for a long time I've hit a level in cruel act 3, went to ventod of act2, act3, and jungle vendor. I've upgrade some stuff including the shield.
Spoiler
- And lastly I'm going for dmg in oreder: Battle Fever and then Pile + Irreperable and Bestial rage + Feral Force
