MITIGATING BONESHATTER'S SELF-DAMAGE

Boneshatter of Complex Trauma deals a notoriously large amount of damage to you as you build up Trauma stacks. in order to continue attacking "normal" (i.e: NOT be chunked for 500+ dmg per hit), a large amount of mitigation is required.

currently, I do not have Glorious Vanity (Doryani Corrupted Soul) (or Replica Soul Tether) x Divine Shield in this build but it very-well may be necessary.

I will experiment with all possible dmg-mitigation solutions, once the patch is live
it may be as simple as getting a Granite Flask with "gain flask charge on crit" and adding in Cast when Damage Taken Support x Molten Shell (dropping Hydrosphere tech)

SKILL ROTATION

ensure you are always in BLOOD Stance
toggle Flesh and Stone to make its icon red

Clearing

1. Blood Rage*
   *just press once at start of map and then every 10-15s after
2. Leap Slam / Frostblink into packs
3. Ancestral Cry*
   *not necessary - just helps clear a bit
4. Boneshatter of Complex Trauma
   one attack should be enough for non-Rare enemies

ensure Blood Rage is always active
it auto-refreshes on kills but tap it every 10-15s, just to be safe

Single Target

1. Vulnerability
2. spam Boneshatter of Complex Trauma

again, ensure Blood Rage is always active
just tap it every 5s or so

"DOUBLE-DAMAGE" TECH (supposedly)

when using Hydrosphere x Cast when Damage Taken Support, if you can do enough self-dmg with Boneshatter of Complex Trauma to proc Cast when Damage Taken Support on EVERY ATTACK, Hydrosphere will create a melee splash (via Tribal Fury), essentially DOUBLING your single-target damage.

however, this tech is largely untested and inconsistent - there is a very high chance that we will NOT be using this, at all.
I will test it throughout the first couple days of Leaguestart and determine if it's worth using

importantly, NOTHING IN THIS GUIDE EXPECTS YOU TO USE THE TECH
all PoB numbers are calculated WITHOUT it

furthermore, if you are NOT using this tech, ENSURE YOU ARE RUNNING Molten Shell x Cast when Damage Taken Support (and LEVEL UP both of them!)
