Build Overview

EARTHSHATTER WARBRINGER

This will be my League Starter and Endgame setup for 0.5.5 which you will be able to see LIVE over at twitch here once the League starts.

Endgame setup reaches 94% Block Chance which is the HIGHEST in the game and making you nearly IMMORTAL!

LEAGUE START

BEFORE level 22 we use Rolling Slam and Boneshatter combo so pick Boneshatter as the first Skill Gem from Quest reward in Clearfell after killing Miller.
Press Boneshatter after the FIRST attack from Rolling Slam to cancel skill animation and explode monsters for easy clear.

Earthshatter becomes available at level 22 and that's when you also do your first Trial Ascendancy for Warcaller's Bellow to always shatter those spikes for CRAZY damage. Add Volcanic Fissure which also unlocks with ES for even more madness.

This setup will easily clear all content until you get items for Endgame setup (see Build Variants).

ENDGAME

Playstyle here changes as we no longer need to detonate Earthshatter spikes with Infernal Cry and just simply spam Earthshatter as the aftershocks will deal MASSIVE damage.
You could add Forge Hammer for bosses to proc Fissures before they spawn for even more damage.

Lightning Warp and Ball Lightning will make you teleport around the map for really FAST clear and efficient farming but mainly proc Herald of Thunder!
Ball shocks > you kill > Thunder procs without needing ANY lightning damage on gear or support gems.

Gem Priority

You will get Rolling Slam in the tutorial from a chest and once you arrive to Clearfell go with Boneshatter from the first skill gem as a quest reward.

First support gem pick Rapid Attacks I in Rolling Slam (RS) and then Impact Shockwave in Boneshatter as that is our MAIN combo - you use Rolling Slam and right after the first hit you animation cancel the second hit by pressing Boneshatter (BS). In most cases RS primes enemies for a heavy stun which we trigger with BS.

Shield Charge can be used for mobility but Sprint is totally fine.

First Spirit aura Herald of Ash for better AoE.

How it Plays

BEFORE Level 22: Rolling Slam & Boneshatter - clear + single target

AFTER Level 22: Earthshatter - your main damage dealer from level 22+

Volcanic Fissure - another damage ability for bosses so your 1. can proc fissures

Infernal Cry - crazy damage buff as well as detonator for 1.

Shield Charge - for mobility but Sprint is enough

OPTIONAL: Sunder or Hammer of the Gods - single target beasts you can pick either or

ENDGAME

The playstyle is a bit different here as we no longer need to spam Infernal Cry to detonate Earthshatter spikes, you just simply spam Earthshatter which triggers Aftershock for massive damage.
