Slam Titan League Start Build

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.
