Build Overview

THE NEW BEST SLAM IN PoE

Holy Hammers is a new Slam skill that becomes MUCH more powerful when you consume a Power Charge on use.

I will be updating this guide constantly - CHECK MY STREAM FOR LIVE UPDATES / ASK QUESTIONS

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

SKILL ROTATION

CLEARING

1) Leap Slam & Frostblink to enemy packs
be sure to "animation cancel" Leap Slam by using Frostblink at Leap Slam's apex
*2) Rallying Cry (OPTIONAL - only use on tanky Rare enemies)
3) Holy Hammers

do NOT use your Tincture while clearing - it will annihilate your mana!

SINGLE TARGET

Holy Hammers is able to OVERLAP its damage on a single target - to do this consistently:

!! STAND AWAY FROM THE TARGET !!

your initial hit's AoE will deal damage AND spawn another hammer ("Cascade") to also hit

once you have perma Power Charges, you should also AIM OFF-CENTER of the target - your initial slam will still hit but, now, the "extra" Hammer that spawns (via Power Charge consume) will also hit
this "extra" Hammer has better overlap than a Cascade from your Slam

ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE "Always Attack Without Moving" TOGGLED ON FOR Holy Hammers
Left Click Holy Hammers' icon > toggle the option ON at the top

*1) Static Strike (w Power Charge On Critical Support)
*this is only necessary pre- Ashes of the Stars
2) Rallying Cry
3) pop Tincture (if you have one)
3) Holy Hammers spam

refresh Rallying Cry (and Static Strike) as needed

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

LEVELING

Holy Hammers requires level 28 and is acquired after killing Gravicius in Act 3

use Ground Slam until level 12 then swap to Sunder (after entering Cavern of Wrath)
you must BUY BOTH GEMS FROM NESSA as a Templar (for whatever reason lol)

at level 28, you can either swap to Holy Hammers (after killing Gravicius) or continue using Sunder
they are very similar at this point

HOWEVER, once you acquire a Romira's Banquet AND reach level 60, DEFINITELY swap over to Holy Hammers
Holy Hammers clear is 3x better when consuming a Power Charge

if you need more details for Sunder leveling, I have an ENTIRELY SEPARATE SUNDER LEVELING GUIDE written for Marauder that should fill in the gaps (USE THIS GUIDE'S PASSIVE TREE, though!)

BANDITS

VARIOUS ENDGAME INFO

MAP MODS

Regex of Map mods to avoid:
"!s rec|er,|f ph|eche|acl|tal d|gen"

  • Both types of Reflect
  • Less Recovery Rate
  • No Leech
  • No Regen
  • Monsters steal Charges

LV1 SUPPORT GEM CORRUPTS (new "Coins")

There are quite a few options for a Level 1 support on Holy Hammers (via the new "Coins") - I suggest doing Coins of Power (red) but Coins of Knowledge (blue) are alright too

best reds are: Endurance Charge on Melee Stun Support, Inspiration Support, Overexertion Support, Melee Physical Damage Support, Pulverise Support, Lifetap Support
best blues are: Physical to Lightning Support, Power Charge On Critical Support, Increased Critical Damage Support

PANTHEON

Brine King (capture all additional via Divine Vessels!) & Garukhan / Gruthkul

CRAFTING YOUR GEAR

once you have 10-15div liquid, I suggest crafting a Staff and Body Armor. details are in the "HYPER Endgame" variant's Equipment section

HYPER ENDGAME STUFF

Forbidden Flesh & Flame Unwavering Crusade is great if you want to focus more on Bossing than "normal juiced" stuff
I don't run them, personally, but they're like ~30% more dmg if you want it

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • great clear
  • great single target
  • lots of regen (Sanctuary x Pious Path)
  • slamma jamma
  • have to overlap hits for max single target (stand AWAY from enemy!)
  • Large Cluster Jewel required for mana leech (Fuel the Fight)

Build Variants

only go crit (drop Romira's Banquet & Resolute Technique) once you have ALL of the following:


1) Medium Cluster Jewel with Mob Mentality (plus Warcry Mastery for min 10 power)
2) The Blue Dream (regular OR Foulborn - you just need "chance for Power Charge on kill")
3) Shining Justice (+500acc Mastery)
4) Precision linked with Arrogance Support
5) a source of mana leech (Large Cluster Jewel w Fuel the Fight is easiest)

you NEED consistent Power Charge generation for Holy Hammers to truly shine and, without accuracy, you will lose out on a TON of damage

you MUST have a source of mana leech - a Large Cluster Jewel with Fuel the Fight is the easiest solution but %phys mana leech works fine (rings, amulet, gloves, jewels)
once you use Physical to Lightning Support (100% lightning dmg), you NEED Fuel the Fight

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

your first big purchase is an UNCORRUPTED Ashes of the Stars (saves $$ for anoint!)
lots of dmg for Holy Hammers and MUCH faster Warcry cooldowns

then, start saving up for a GOOD ROLL Echoes of Creation (as low self-dmg as possible)
you'll also need a Body Armor with "%additional phys dmg reduction"
and ~5k total armor (unbuffed)

start looking for good ARMOR/ES gear
this is to offset Echoes of Creation via Pious Path, Divine Shield andGlorious Vanity (Doryani Corrupted Soul)

you need 119 Dex to use lv20 Precision
keep Blood Rage at lv12 (not worth the Dex req past that)

DO NOT FORGET "Warcries cannot exert Travel skills" (craft on rings, amulet or belt or take Warcry Mastery)

New Item

you MUST have a The Blue Dream if you dropped Romira's Banquet x Resolute Technique
socket it above Endurance and ensure you have allocated Holy Dominion
if you cannot afford one, you'll need to anoint Disciple of the Forbidden
but the anoint will almost certainly be more $$

I HIGHLY recommend picking up an UNCORRUPTED Ashes of the Stars ASAP - it should be the first "big" purchase. the extra quality gives more dmg on Holy Hammers and, more importantly, MUCH better Power Charge generation
faster cdr for Warcries & more chance on hit w Assassin's Mark

you can go either pure Armor OR Armor/ES gear at this stage
however, you will go Armor/ES once you acquire Echoes of Creation, so plan accordingly!

get an EXERTED ATTACKS Medium Cluster Jewel with Mob Mentality
it can be 4 OR 5 passive but it MUST BE AT LEAST ilvl 75

your Large Cluster Jewel MUST BE "adds 8 passive skills"
it saves 2 passive points when grabbing both "good" notables and jewel sockets!

you will also NEED Accuracy at this point - Precision w Arrogance Support and Shining Justice (+500acc Mastery) will be enough for early mapping
one or two rolls of +acc on gear (rings, amulet, gloves, helm) are ideal

a good, cheap Amulet anoint is Butchery but Admonisher is ideal, ESPECIALLY once you have Ashes of the Stars

DO NOT FORGET 2x "Non-Channeling -x Mana Cost" (Wasteland map - top left)
this makes your Autoexertion Warcries cost 0

DO NOT FORGET "%lightning dmg leeched as life" (Lesser Eldritch Ichor on gloves)

DO NOT FORGET "Warcries cannot exert Travel skills" (craft on rings, amulet or belt or take Warcry Mastery)

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

QUALITY ORDER

Holy Hammers > Autoexertion > Intimidating Cry > Rallying Cry > rest of warcries
ensure that you STAGGER THE QUALITY OF EVERYTHING IN Autoexertion
i.e: Seismic Cry at 18%, Infernal Cry at 16%, etc
this makes Mob Mentality have a higher chance of giving you a charge after consume
