Build Overview

INSTANT Earthquake and Hammer of the Gods ARE BACK!
This time even stronger as the base crit for Ruination Maul was increased and full Crit version is possible which scales the damage like CRAZY.

Titan is obviously the best Ascendancy thanks to Hulking Form but also Ancestral Empowerment which covers AoE in combination with Channelled Heritage passives.

PoB code on the right ---->

How do we make it INSTANT

Near at Hand and Forthcoming with new small passives on the druid side right next to Constricting which is PERFECT as we path towards the top.
With this there is no need for a support gem that reduces the duration further meaning we have extra slot for damage gems.

SURROUNDED IS OP

Constricting Command is still very strong even after the nerf which now requires to have AT LEAST one enemy around you which is basically nonstop.

All this makes it nearly a One-button BUILD!

SURVIVABILITY

Shield itself provides nice defense with all the Armor and Block chance but as a Titan we are stacking Armor.
Sturdy Metal with Heart of the Well (extra % armor from body armor) is amazing combination with other armor passives from Surrounded AND The Brass Dome is absolutely CRACKED.

AMULET

Using Strugglescream where you can allocate 4 passives from the tree. Going with Careful Assassin, Momentum, Tempered Mind and Struck Through. This will give us a chunky Critical chance, more damage and mobility. You are free to experiment with these though.

JEWELS

Heart of the Well - skill speed, attack speed, crit chance, crit damage, extra % armor from body armor - ANY combination of this

Prism of Belief - Earthquake

Controlled Metamorphosis - Medium range

From Nothing - Resonance for crazy Crit related nodes BUT also extra Attack speed Chakra of Thought

Megalomaniac - anything Crit chance related

Undying Hate (amanamu) - for extra sustain

BUDGET JEWELS

If you cannot afford the above just get Emerald jewels with Crit chance, Crit damage mainly which honestly might end up being stronger as we have A LOT of jewel slots.
It would also free up some passive points that you could use for either more damage or armor for sustain.

Once you get for Earthquake you can drop Armour Breaker and get Sniper's Mark for even MORE single target damage.

You can use Fortifying Cry for more defense (ward) instead of Seismic Cry.

IDEAL setup for Earthquake are Uul-Netol's Embrace instead of Armour Break III AND Garukhan's Resolve instead of Close Combat II.

How it Plays

1. Earthquake - main Damage dealer

2. Hammer of the Gods - is INSTANT as well thanks to reduced skill effect duration just like 1. and is amazing during a heavy stun or as a stun build up

3. Infernal Cry - huge damage increase (buff)

4. Fortifying Cry - extra sustain OR Seismic Cry for even more damage during a heavy stun

5. Armour Breaker - for extra damage - our OPENER

6. Forge Hammer - provides Rage on bosses

How it Works

Reduced Skill effect duration on the Passive tree makes Earthquake AND Hammer of the Gods INSTANT which is crazy for damage but also speed in maps.
