Gem Priority

Herald of Ash has reduced ignite duration due to reduced skill effect duration which is the key for this build so eventually I want to get flat lightning damage on rings/gloves for Herald of Thunder.

Used it in first league even level 7 is enough and procs often with enough lightning damage. Lightning Infusion in Earthquake very good for this.

You can also run Splinter in Earthquake or drop Seismic Cry and get any mark Voltaic Mark Bloodhound's Mark with Single Out to auto-break armor with any hits.

For boss fights you can swap Cannibalism for Vitality.

Reduced skill effect duration is CRUCIAL for this build (Earthquake and Time of Need) combined with Hulking Form it is INSANITY.

Weapon set 1 (red lines) is set for damage for bossing

Weapon set 2 (green lines) is set for AoE (area of effect) to cover over 1 screen!

How it Plays

1. Earthquake - AoE clear KING (weapon set 2)

2. Rolling Slam - undefeated single target ability - single use hits 4 times thanks to Aftershocks (weapon set 1)

3. Infernal Cry - big damage buff

4. Voltaic Mark - very EASY armor breaking with Single Out gem for bosses and amplifies our shock debuff (more damage)

5. Shield Charge - mobility to be faster in maps

How it Works

Earthquake and Time of Need benefit from Near at Hand and Forthcoming passives and small passives around it to make them proc INSTANTLY almost without any delay so it is very important to run with Hulking Form.

Running non-Titan ascendancy would be a massive downside losing this passive node in both damage and speed.

This alone brings Earthquake to 0.8s detonation and with Swift Affliction its down to 0.6s. Fast Forward brings it down to 0.4s but we really want to use this one for Time of Need. You can run without Swift Affliction if 0.8s is suitable for you and get damage support gem instead.

Polcirkeln with Cold Infusion in Earthquake and flat cold damage on weapon/ring enables Herald of Ice. Does not work in Simulacrum as mobs don't leave corpses so there is nothing to shatter.

If you want Herald of Thunder simply get flat lightning damage anywhere you can with Lightning Infusion in Earthquake.
