1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD

@eladir:

Well i won't try to turn BoR into RRRB again, it took me 61 chroms to roll it RRRR again the first time :(
But i did make it Q20, which i have forgotten to do before xD

The GS+Conc+Melee+Multi you ask is my current setup (+BM gem, no difference), so 9655 (13132 with Hatred) with current gear.
HS+Melee+Multi+Added (i removed my FA) is 16.298 (20.550). Values with FA at previous post.
GS+HS+Multi+Added on BoR gives me GS 10.3K (13.0K) and HS 21.2K (26.7K), using the gems below.


I hope these help :)

@Monty_The_3rd

Right totally forgot about chromatics needed to test it. Anyway thanks for the numbers, hopefully it will be worth it for me.

Yea, sorry but i'm not rich enough to "burn" 100chroms xD

I would give it to you for test if you were in Standard, let me know if you want any other tests with these colors/gems :)

It's not a bad helm, i just personally think that losing all those res (and other possible useful stats) isn't worth the dmg increase in my case and at this point ;)

hi i wanted to know what was the highest dps on ground slam someone here achieved using this build and can you post your gear that achieved this result ????
And i wanted to know if i use ming hearts i get 40% more dps ?

Eladir i didnt understand your reply.

@Monty_The_3rd

Thx for your job with BoR to non-BoR comparison :)

It will save some people their time and maybe currency :)

I always thought that BoR is best with one-handed and a shield -like Spartacus did in that episode :D

@Monty_The_3rd
I think the biggest benefit of BoR is bridging the gap between having 4 links and 5L+. If you've already managed that then there isn't much more it can offer.

PS: 15% block works on our 2h mace build too right ? It affects only auto attacks I guess, not spells ?

@jagan5454
Don't know about the highest dps, I am relatively new to this build. Guess by neglecting survival stuff you can reach 20k. As for gear, my guess is double ming's Heart, Bring of Rain, Meginord's belt, a 600+ pDPS rare 2h Mace and probably some other unique gloves and boots.

With Ming's Heart I don't think you will gain 40% more dps, at least if you are counting it with the tooltip number. It will be closer to 20% but in actual damage dealt I think the increase will be higher than 20% becuase it's chaos damage, something I guess monsters usually don't have much resistance.

Don't know the exact mechanics when comparing the two kinds of 20% added damage between Mings and Le Heup but that's what everyone is saying so it must be true. There recently was a thread in reddit about Ming's you can take a look too.

As for my previous answer, you asked what weapon is best for this build and you suggested Marohi and Kongor's. My answer was if you count only unique weapons then Marohi. If you count all weapons then a high pDPS 2h Mace will be best.

Well i don't have a suitable lvl AddFire or AddChaos to test (maybe someone else can help here), but 20% converted to phys will roughly give you 20% more DPS if your DPS is all phys.

My lvl18 AddFire converts 37% of my phys to Fire, i do 15.360 without if (pure phys) and 21.193 with it, that is roughly a 37% increase in dmg (well its more like 37.9% because it's a Q20 gem with increase fire dmg).
But chaos dmg is sweet because it goes strait to HP, not thought enemies Armor like phys, so it will "feel" like you gained more than just 20% ;)
All these change ofc if you already use some kind of EleDmg or if you have special mods on gear/tree.

And yes eladir, Block dons't work for spells, but there is a Unique that does that.


Edit:
BoR HS dmg with a bit more lvled (now lvl7) WED: 23.5K and 31.4K with Hatred.
Not the best gem to test, but i don't have anything more "suitable" atm :/
Gems used:

a ok now i understood thx for reply btw what is the max speed attack you can have on a gauntlet?

Just wanted to ask if this is ok(look skill gems).


When I take damage i only see immortal call casted and not enduring cry so I wonder if I even get larger duration than 0.20 sec on immortal.. And sometimes when I don't take a lot of damage it only casts enuring cry.

@jagan5454
16% attack speed is max roll on gloves. You can check indexers to sort through forum shops faster. Just google poe indexer.

@NobodySuper
Don't have experience in using Immortal Call on cwdt, I manually cast it with increased duration support gem. What I know is that you should level up Enduring Cry till level 5 as that's the limit where the gem's required level doesn't surpass the required level of cwdt. If that's surpassed the linked skill is not cast by cwdt.
