IT WAS ZERO TO HERO Random Build RUN :)
Core concept -
Avatar of Fire +
Blistering Bond makes shield wall not only inflict pure fire dmg and big DOT, but also contribute this dmg towards BLEED, so it's DOUBLE DOT Dmg! Also cool scaling with WAND instead of weapon - so thats secret sauce :D
But my main task was to build something usable from Seismic CRY. So check HOW IT WORKS SECTION.

How it Works
THERE IS SECTIONS TO BUILD :
Act 1-6 is campaign part.
Here we focus on
Shield Wall eventually adding
Blistering Bond in combination with
Avatar of Fire which will result in double DOT dmg that scales from total 75% of your dmg.. Game definetly not balanced around this interaction and bosses just melt from 2-3 shield walls even without good equip! Totally underrated combo.. You can use THIS LEVELING BUILD for warrior which is more basic and separated ACT by ACT, since shield wall is only available from Act 2.
Main mechanic is simple, place
Shield Wall and detonate with ANY Warcry.
LVL 90 Endgame is my final setup to beat arbiter of divinity on first day.
Here it's kinda finally shaped up. You can continue using shield wall but its slow. So for clear we will combine
Seismic Cry and
Infernal Cry .
To make them work we use
Seismic Cry as armor melter with combination of warbringer passive nodes, while
Infernal Cry with Battershout will detonate armour, so more armour enemy got -> more dmg we inflict, and enemies will be inflicted with massive double dot. Slower enemies will be detonated with corpse explosion from
Deidbell and few more warcries, while being armour broken and inflicted with more double DOTs.. So its infinte ENGINE!
Since i use
Blood Magic it's really important to have good
Utility Belt with flasks that got alot of charges.
FINAL FORM
is optimized final version with more gems. It can clear 200% Deli or whatever you want. I actually enjoy to use it more as traveling build, since it clears alot of mobs fast if they're not as beefy as 200% deli.
Here we also will use runemastered
Hoghunt (as well as before if you want)
So this mace will have insane crit scaling, and now we can just spam warcries and then BOOM boss with
Hammer of the Gods. Remove resistance down to negative with exposure from warcries,
Xoph's Blood and
Elemental Weakness .
WEAPON SETS:
One set is FOR WARCRIES ONLY.
Another is FOR HAMMER OF THE GODS ONLY.
You can play just with shield wall, then another set should be used with shared weapon + shield, and instead of crit , just get flat AREA DMG nodes.
Comments
16What mageblood legacies should we be looking for?
do we put warcries and shield wall on set 1 when we suse hoghunt?
What passives should be allocated with the megalomaniac jewel?
This is a fascinating build, especially since Warrior seems to be considered the weakest/most boring of the current classes. I might give this one a go after I finish messing with my Lightning Spear/Spear of Solaris Ritualist. I absolutely love unique builds that work decently and still clear most everything even if not considered "meta".
Bleed is not supported by infernal cry !!!
It is with this setup. Battershout will trigger explosion that bleeds.
I am using this build guide but I use resonating shield for mob clear, what do you use for mob clear?
Warcries. Finished build, and added description on how it works. Also there is video added with showcase and explanations
How are skill groups set up? Why does it look different here than in the video?
I'm finishing write up. One set for warcries, another for dmg skills
This doesn't make sense.
Weapon set 1 for warcries only? Weapon set 1 you have a shield. Wouldn't you also have to have shield wall on Weapon set 1?
So is it just Hammer of Gods on Weapon set 2 and all other skills on 1?

You need to remove all weapon skills and try to then to equip it
If you put corrupting cry on the war cry would it still destroy and allow the shield wall to explode and do the dot damage along with being able to just run and war the mobs for clear?
sadly no, corrupting cry wont work with avatar of fire
Thanks for the build guide! it has been hilarious to use!
