Lvl92 Slam Titan Progression

https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/19252

I need advise on what to do to progress the character from here.

Clears T15 and basic pinnacle bosses with no dramas. Although, forward progress feels like it's slowed down.

What can I do to make noticable changes to my damage output or straight up enhance this character?

I always struggled with that too lol. Just wanted to say I love clean / classic your gear looks

Ran Titan in 0.3.

My suggestions would be

  1. Use Blood Magic. You can then drop mana leech in favor of more useful stats (attack speed on gloves, for example). The life cost should feel trivial (it always feels like getting infinite mana when I make the switch).

  2. Flat attack damage on rings and gloves makes a huge difference. It might be pretty expensive though… you can “craft” your own by purchasing cheap/crappy gloves with a single good suffix (resists are ok; melee skills would be ideal but it’s very difficult to recombine), recombining them to clear everything except two suffixes, then greater exalt slam and pray for flat attack (perfect exalt slam would be better, but I assume from your gear you might not have a lot of currency).

The rings are expensive, especially with catalyst prices being what they are. A semi-decent flat attack ring will cost more than 100 div. What you can do is: pick up any ilvl 75+ magic ring that you find, annul off the mods, and slam perfect augments. Do this until you hit elemental flat damage (not very easy… could go 30 or 40 augs before seeing it, or could get lucky and see it after just a few). From there, use a greater essence to add a mod you like (rarity is an option, but probably makes more sense to go for elemental or chaos res). Then use Uul-Netol’s catalyst to add physical mod quality. Then use an omen of homogenizing catalyzation, omen of sinistral exaltation, and a greater/perfect exalt to aim to add flat physical damage. So now you have a ring with 2x flat damage, a resist, and some other suffix.

Finally (and this step is 3-4 div), do the same thing with esh’s catalyst, but instead of a sinistral exaltation omen, use a greater exaltation omen. This will aim at flat lightning damage for the prefix and flat lightning resist for the suffix. Alternatively (and more expensive), use a reaver catalyst to avoid hitting % lightning damage (which is otherwise more likely to hit than flat damage)

  1. Get a helmet with higher armour. You can get one from trade with 1000 armour for 50 exalts. This will help compensate for less armour on your gloves (since ideally they should be 3x flat attack, although that’s not easy to achieve).

  2. Back to the gloves: if you can get +2 melee skills, that should be a pretty big damage boost. I don’t know how prices are for those, especially with flat attack and/or attack speed. But if you can, that would really help.

  3. No comment on the skill tree or supports. Apart from crafting nice gear, I am bad at this game.

Good luck!

For damage: I don't know how bad mana costs get without blood magic but you can get +3 melee skills amulet, +2 melee skills gloves and lvl 21 corrupted skill gems (make sure they are also 20 quality and 5 sockets).

Holy shit rare sighting - a warrior that doesnt attack with their shield

For armour survivability there are a couple tricks you're not using:

  1. super high armour gloves combined with Leather Bound Gauntlets + Iron Reflexes on the passive tree
  2. if you're not going to use Titan's Stone Skin but you're going to stay chaos res capped, consider finding a body armour with Perfect Essence of Ruin
  3. also consider prioritizing Life over Armour on your gear, particularly your body armour

Other notes on offense:

  1. consider whether you actually need Resolute Technique with Nimble Strength
  2. consider instead Anointing Shattering Blow to nuke all passives in that area of the tree to instead path down for Gauntlets, Authority, Crushing Judgement
  3. you have basically no fire pen, whatever ability you are using Infernal Cry for, consider allocating Fire Pen II as a support gem (assuming you're basically just using it for bosses mostly). otherwise the above pathing change also enables more Fire Pen
  4. CONTROVERSIAL: consider whether Hulking Form, with your setup, is actually resulting in a better experience than having both Crushing Impacts + Mysterious Lineage

Remapped the tree. Id let go of some stun build and AoE and go to the right instead. Lay siege gives 1% damage per block, upping block chance gives you addtl defense and offense. Cruel methods gives armour break and physical damage. If your life leech is good, use fast metabolism, life leech stacks above your current life and any life loss will be taken from that; basically addtl life. Dont really need alot of armour applies to elemental since you have full elemental resistance. Ive also added some speed and convering life skills if needed; idk how well you do with mana. And since your accuracy is doubled, i didnt grab nimble strength.

I decided to try stacking energy shield - at minimum level.

I got bored at this stage in the league and decided to spend many of my hard earned divines on a small project. Wouldn't it be funny to stack Energy shield for a min-level char? [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027) Tabula rasa has relevant jewel mods noted on it in POB so the math actually works out since it doesn't seem to work properly in POB. second screenshot is with a lvl 29 discipline aura with 36% increased aura magnitude - I didn't wanna spend another several thousand divines on a support character, I just wanted to see how well it would work theoretically >3000 ES without aurabot is possible, however, its basically impossible in practice. As of now, there are \*18\* 2 socket uncorrupted crown of thorns left on trade - on average it takes \~11 to hit a 30% and then another 1 in 3 to get a 3 socket one. Hitting a double corrupt on said 3 socket would be better then my current one, but that's not plausible sadly. Same for the boots. Hitting a better double corrupt on the gloves and focus would likely be plausible, but I couldn't buy more bases from Finn. Grip of Kulemak 59% ES \*should\* be possible, but it already took me over 40 attempts to hit 57% so I think I'll just leave it as is. Belt I didn't find any other way besides the 25% corrupt to get ES without a level requirement - if anyone has any idea tell me. Amulet could sanctify for 19/19 but again, would require silly amounts of currency (each try is \~30 div as is with annoint + sanctify + quality). I \*think\* patient barrier should be best annoint, but correct me if I'm wrong. Total investment into this character so far is about 3000 divines, probably a bit more. further thoughts \- maximum technically possible is 3112 ES at level 2 unless I'm missing something important. POB [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a) \- doubting this but: is it possible to get an ascendency at this low level by skipping straight to geonor with a helper? In which case it might be possible that xp penalties kicking it would allow me to ascend at lvl 2? This would allow +20% +20% (ascendency) +60% (jewel) ES, which would get me to 3218 ES (actual build) / 3732 ES (max technically possible) Did I miss anything?

Rakiata who?

Rakiata who?

I made an elemental crossbow varashta sorc this season as my starting build (goal was to exploit yoke of suffering's full potential, you can find poe ninja below, don't be fooled by the dmg tooltip, it kill ubers before they can move) and so since I was in the intel side of the tree I used my weapon swap to maximize exposure (with whispering ice) and curse magnitude. Here with some non-optimized gear I'm reaching a total of -338% res (that's -169% on bosses), meaning it's better than rakiata's. I use cursed ground support to apply the curse and icestorm (which comes with the staff) with prolonged duration and potent exposure to make the exposure last longer. This tech doesn't require much investment apart from your weapon swap and a few sockets at most so it can be plugged into many elemental builds. As it is now, it requires you to cast the spells with your weapon swap, so I use it mostly for bosses, but i might cast icestorm on bulky rares in juiced maps once in a while. If you have a skill dedicated for mapping, it'll propably better to use rakiata on it, and remove it or use another skill for bosses. Here's the poeninja: [https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala](https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala) I might make a build showcase if people are interested, it's a fun league starter build. With yoke and the electrocution node on the tree, enemies have 120% damage taken, more if they're cursed, on top of the giant res drop, plus you benefit from a lot of the "damage against enemies with ailments nodes" so that's why the tooltip is low (explosive grenades indicate 60k in game but they hit bosses for like 2M) at first I was playing with permafrost bolt with frost nexus + navira's fracture + fragmentation rounds, it was a fun combo and really strong for leveling but I couldn't scale navira's fracture damage in late game (I had command + minion nodes on my second weapon instead of the curse/exposure at the time) Hope this inspires some of you!
