Leveling strategy:
- Start with Rolling slam and Boneshatter. Hold in the key for rolling slam to direct it with mouse, highly recommend. Check Maxroll, for a leveling guide.
- Pick up perfect strike and infernal cry. This will be your main single target dps skill. Ignite supports are good for perfect strike.

- lvl 41, get seismic cry, link it with Corrupting Cry and Pin support. This allows you to spam seismic without worrying about it going on CD. Make sure to have Urgent Call and Blood Magic/ Price of Freedom specced on your tree to sustain the high mana/life cost

- Once you get your second ascendancy for no warcry cooldown REMOVE Pin support, and you can start linking damage supports. HIGHLY recommend Inspiration early since mana/life cost is high. You can also keep Seismic Cry at lvl 11 until you feel comfortable enough to level it up.

Equipment

Set 1

Set 2

- Astramentis NOT REQUIRED (I don't even have this kinda gear lol). Just make sure you have more than 97 Intelligence to use the sceptre and cast on block. Keep int gems low level and respec some strength to int on tree.

- Stat priority:

- Resistance (elemental minimum total 75%, chaos minimum 60-65%)

- Movement speed (on boots)

- Strength (on everything that can have it).

- Maximum life

- Armour

- Main hand on set 1 is a sceptre so that we can fit in blasphemy enfeeble curse and other buffs. If you have Astramentis, then int and lower attribute requirements here do not matter.

- DUPLICATE SET 2 WEAPON! We are dual wielding due to Giant's Blood, but this website doesn't have it ready yet. This is purely for totem scaling, only need + to melee skill gems and maybe increased stun buildup if you can get it.

- Breach Rings are ULTRA gear with attribute catalyst. They don't exist, but they are something to aspire to if you bother.

- Ruby Jewels, at least 10% chance to bleed on hit, and capped block chance. Can use this trade link: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/eVPdJB4hL

- Venoms/tinctures(Quest reward): Chaos resistance and elemental ailment threshold

- I recommend Titanic or Parrying Motion as anoint on amulet.

Support Gem Requirements:

Str 85

Dex 25

Int 25

Seismic Cry

Ancestral Warrior Totem

Infernal Cry

Shield Charge

Leap Slam

Scavenged Plating

Overwhelming Presence

Time of Need

Cast on Block

Blasphemy

IMPORTANT!

- Seismic Cry should have Splinter for bosses, and Devastate for clearing
- Infernal Cry and Seismic Cry should be selected to only work on weapon set 1
- Ancestral Warrior Totem should only be selected for weapon set 2
- Infernal Cry should be kept at lvl 3 if possible, the lower the cost, the better, we don't want to warcry ourselves to death, only the monster
- Bloodlust support only works once we get a source of bleed on hit. I recommend jewels with it - Scavenged Plating will only work with Devastate linked to seismic
- Time of Need is a bonus spirit gem for when we get extra spirit with sceptre - Blasphemy and Enfeeble need to be low level if you don't have astramantis

set 1:

set 2:

Red lines are weapon set 1
Green lines weapon set 2

In the jewel socket leading to the three totem nodes as well as Cranial Impact and Unbreaking we want a Unique jewel called Against the Darkness. Specifically one with "Notable passive skills in radius grant (2-4)% increased Strength". Giving us a total 24% increased strength
