Build Overview

// 0.4 LAST OF THE DRUIDS UPDATE //

Perfect Strike got a slight buff but only if you mistime the attack (and do a "regular" hit instead of a "perfect" one)

everything else about the build works the same! enjoy!

there is a chance that the new Druid area of the tree has some good passives for us but it's not likely worth travelling over for them. I'll update the build accordingly, once the patch goes live, regardless.

----------------------------------------------------

This is a LEVELING guide for any Warrior Ascendancy.

It is NOT an "endgame" build guide - the intent is to get you through the campaign as efficiently as possible to then transition into whatever build you're actually playing.

If you don't have an endgame build in mind yet, consider checking out my FIREBRINGER: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/Woolie/builds/0-3-woolie-s-firebringer

// VERY IMPORTANT INFO //

If you feel you're not dealing enough damage / not clearing things well enough:

1) make sure you are NOT FULLY STUNNING packs w/ Rolling Slam / Leap Slam
> Brink support fully fixes this issue (t2; mid/late Act 3), until then, use a lower level skill gem

2) buy / craft a better 2h mace

if you're on trade league, I guarantee that you can buy a better weapon than your current one for only 1-2 exalts and, for SSF, check vendors constantly and don't be afraid to toss a few exalts on the best basetype available to you (preferably with 2 sockets)

Use the "Build Variants" tab to see different equipment, skill and passive tree breakdowns for various progression-points.

Refer to the "Video Guide" link (and PoB) if you're looking for more details.

// SKILL ROTATION //

CLEARING

1) Rolling Slam/ Leap Slam into the pack
2) Boneshatter on any "primed" enemy (yellow circle indicator)

be sure to ANIMATION CANCEL Rolling Slam by using Boneshatter IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FIRST IMPACT OF Rolling Slam

SINGLE-TARGET

-- BEFORE Perfect Strike --

1) Earthquake
2) Mace Strike (yes, default attack is actually good)
3) use Earthquake again after it detonates & repeat

toss in Infernal Cry + Boneshatter on a "primed" enemy, if you're feelin' frisky

-- WITH Perfect Strike --

1) Infernal Cry
2) Earthquake
3) Perfect Strike

your weapon will glow "white-hot" for a brief moment - this is the time to release Perfect Strike

also, if you truly despise Perfect Strike (I don't blame you lol), try simply tossing & recalling Forge Hammer, instead.
Forge Hammer links are: Fist of War II > Aftershock II > Fire Attunement

For a Leaguestart scenario, ignore the unique items (obviously)

For your weapon, you want as high phys dmg as possible - attack speed is just icing on the cake

For all other items, you're simply looking for:
- Life
- Resistances
- Strength
- Armor

4) Brutality (Boneshatter)
5) Fist of War I (Earthquake)
6) Brutality I (Earthquake)
