Slam Warrior is one of the strongest leveling builds for league start in PoE 2. The build has amazing clear and single-target damage. It is also very tanky and requires very little gear to clear the campaign quickly.
Ascendancy
Titan is one of the most powerful Ascendancies in the game, thanks to
Hulking Form, which massively increases the offensive and defensive bonuses you gain from the passive tree.
For the rest of your Ascendancy,
Earthbreaker stacks with your other sources of Aftershock chance and can scale up to 100%, effectively doubling your damage. Once in maps, you can spec into
Ancestral Empowerment. This bonus works with Fist of War III, overriding the 14-second cooldown and granting enormous increases to damage and AoE.
Breaking Armour
You can break armour on enemies by heavy stunning them thanks to
Shattering Blow. This bonus scales with sources of Break Increased Armour and can apply Fully Broken Armour to enemies, granting 20% more damage against them. It also synergizes with
The Molten One's Gift to grant increased fire damage against enemies with Fully Broken Armour.
How to Clear Zones (Act 1):
Cast
Boneshatter immediately after the first hit of
Rolling Slam lands to quickly kill packs of enemies. Mastering this quick combo is key to smoothly clearing Act 1.
How to Clear Zones (Act 2):
Replacing
Rolling Slam with
Leap Slam makes pulling off the
Boneshatter combo even easier.
As a bonus,
Leap Slam helps with mobility!
How to Clear Zones (Act 3+):
Switching from
Leap Slam to
Stampede gives more consistent damage and is safer when moving quickly through campaign zones. You can still use the
Stampede-
Boneshatter combo, but most enemies will be dead after you've hit them with
Stampede.
You should still keep
Leap Slam socketed and use it to jump over terrain.
How to Kill Bosses (Acts 1 & 2):
Cast
Earthquake under bosses and refresh it each time it expires. You can hit them with
Rolling Slam or
Mace Strike until they are primed for a Heavy Stun, then use
Boneshatter and attack them with both hits of
Rolling Slam (the second hit does more damage to Heavy Stunned enemies).
Once you unlock
Perfect Strike, hit bosses with that once they are stunned instead of
Rolling Slam. Be sure to time it correctly.
Once you unlock
Leap Slam in Act 2 and support it with Crater, you can spam it against bosses.
How to Kill Bosses (Act 3+):
Throw
Forge Hammer at bosses, detonate it with
Infernal Cry, and stomp around the area with
Stampede. Once the boss is in Heavy Stun range, hit them with
Boneshatter, then cast
Hammer of the Gods. Boom.
You can add
Sunder to the
Hammer of the Gods combo for even more burst damage.
