Build Overview

Patch Changes: Devastate Armour Explosion chain explosions nerfed so probably just best to scale raw damage on Stampede, scaling raw damage is better vs tankier/harder content anyway

Earthbreaker is used instead of Crushing Impacts to get Stampede to 100% aftershock chance

We are focusing on making Stampede's aftershock clear

Tremors is okay for Sunder but still need to further test all it's interactions, this gem seems best for Earthquake and Earthshatter , Sunder is the least important gem so you can swap it with whatever you please


Lacerate was buffed and should always be used on Hammer of the Gods now as the mileage is too good, frees up some passives for bleed chance too


Thrillsteel is very good for speeding up the build

Mahuxotl's Machination is very good for rarity or tanking up the build vs bosses

Morior Invictus random mods with attributes%/life%/rarity are all good

Astramentis good for attributes

Ryslatha's Coil very good for more bleed damage w/ Heft


None of these are mandatory or should all be used together necessarily but all do help the build for whatever your current needs are


Brute Strength should not be taken if you ever have mana issues, otherwise it's good

We annoint Acceleration for clear speed

Stun Threshold seems to be quite impactful as gear so a few rolls on gear is nice too

How it Plays

Stampede clears trash

Hammer of the Gods (bleed/ignite/hit) kills tanky mobs

Sunder (supplementary high damage skill on armour broken bosses/trash packs)

Ancestral Warrior Totem (used to break armour and provide buffs/debuffs on boss such as rupture for more damage on Hammer of the Gods)

Leap Slam (mostly useful for holy descent and mobility, consecrated ground provides a lot of regen and still can kill trash mobs)

Time of Need (Sustain aura with sustain supports)

Herald of Ash (Helps trash clear)
