Build Overview
Hit based variation of this build! - link. Currently playing it.
For any questions about build, feel free to join my discord. Just click small discord icon above.
Venom Draught Quest: Chaos Resistance and Ailment Threshold.
Build idea:
Hammer of the Gods is long cooldown ability with huge damage. Normally you can cast it once every 24 seconds.
Why Chronomancer:
Ultimate Command (
Time Snap), that reset all your cooldowns, in this build it's
Hammer of the Gods.
Now and Again will also improve
Hammer of the Gods by granting 33% chance for skills to not go on cooldown, as well as for
Time Snap.
Build Variants
Normal setup with Herald of Ice and
Polcirkeln.
If you struggle getting strength, consider The Vertex, it lower attribute requirements for all gear and gems by 50%, so you will need only half as much strength for
Giant's Blood.
But preferably just get more Strength. With decent rare gear and Morior Invictus you can get over 636 Str which allow to use all Maces.

Equipment










Gear above is my actual gear in game!
About Gear:
- 2Handed mace (FOR CLEARING):
- High Physical DPS, +# to All Melee Skills is not really needed.
- Low enough Strength requirement to use it.
*So if Mace require 150Str, you need to have 450Str to use it due toGiant's Blood.
- 2Handed maces (FOR SINGLE TARGET):
- Decent Physical DPS with +# to All Melee Skills.
- One of Maces should have Life Leech, or get it on Ring or Gloves.
- Any good suffixes: Strength, Stun Buildup. Stun Duration. - Shield (once you get
Giant's Blood):
- High Block, around 40% or more.
- High Life, Strength.
- #% Additional Physical Damage Reduction, roll up to 8%.
- Preferably cap Resists without Shield, so when you swap to Set 2, your Resistances are still fine. - Armour:
- Overall it's Life + Resists + Strength.
- Gloves with +2 to All Melee Skills.
- Boots with Movement Speed obviously.
- GettingMorior Invictus with Life/Attributes is first priority as it's greatly increase Life compare to any rare Body Armor.
- Belt and rings:
- Overall it's Life + Resists + Strength.
*You can get Accuracy on Jewellery to dropResolute Technique.
- One of Rings isPolcirkeln. For corrupted enchant look for %Life regeneration or %Skill Speed.
- Amulet:
- First priority is +3 to All Melee Skills.
- Then Life and All Attributes which will help withHerald of Ice Dex/Int requirements.
- Then anything extra like more Strength, or extra Resists.Titanic for Instil.
- Jewels:
- One Jewel with Gain 1 Rage on Hit.
- Magnitude of Bleeding you inflict.
- Attack/Melee Damage, Damage with Maces.
-Prism of Belief with
Hammer of the Gods, +2 lvl goes for 1 Div.
-Against the Darkness jewel with 4% strength on notable passives in jewel socket next to
Split the Earth.

Some notes:

For clearing use Shield Charge instead of
Solar Orb.
Select another Variant
Passive Tree
In skill gem menu:
- Weapon set 1 (Pink) for clearing, set all skills to only set 1 except
Hammer of the Gods and Warcries.
- Weapon set 2 (Green) for single target, set
Hammer of the Gods and Warcries to only set 2.
Herald of Ice and
Overwhelming Presence should be enabled on both sets.
How it Plays
Clearing:
Stampede, sometimes
Perfect Strike or
Hammer of the Gods for rares.
Single Target:
- Since
Hammer of the Gods does Bleed Damage, there's no reason to spam all of them at once.
- Drop
Solar Orb to generate Rage.
Infernal Cry then
Hammer of the Gods, then
Temporal Rift to get back to full life. Keep
Solar Orb up.
- Once boss heavy stunned use both
Infernal Cry and
Seismic Cry before next
Hammer of the Gods.
How it Works
Basically explained above.
