Zero duration earthquake titan

Zero duration titan earthquake build - poe2

I know this is nothing new, but after many hours of tweaking and experimenting, I think I finally found the build that fits my game play style the most:

Fast, or at least feels like it's fast
1-2 buttons
Tanky - able to tank most of the big hits and easy sustain
Can ignore map mods and play all contents without switching gears or skills gems

Build link: Level 99 Titan - Path of Exile 2 - poe.ninja

Key points for the build:

Fast movement is achieved by using boneshatter as movement skill.

Zero duration Time of Need solves the sustain, all debuffs, and makes earthquake instant.

Crown of eyes turn spell damage to attack damage, combined with Mystical Rage and Arcane Intensity gives huge boost in damage.

Mana stacking + MoM + Mana Remnant gives big hit pool and boost damage at the same time.

100% reduced crit damage taken on armour helps big time, imo super underrated stats.

Hope you enjoy it and feel free to share your thoughts and ask any questions :)

This is very outside my wheelhouse for what I've played but it's extremely attractive. If it still exists next season I definitely see building one, just don't feel like doing the farming I'd have to do for the gear at this point this league.

Very cool.

Interesting. Can you do T3 simulacrum?

Crown of eyes is such an underrated item imo. Very cool build!

What’s the budget on this to get it going?

Thats prob the first Melee build i’ve seen that looks to tick all the boxes a ranged meta build would for me… Well done!

I tried to do this two seasons ago. Definitely need to give it another shot. Looks awesome

This is my first league in PoE 2 so I'm trying to understand where the tankyness comes from if you are able to take any big hits and ignore all map mods as your EHP and max hit values are low according to ninja which is probably unable to calculate everything properly.

Zero duration is a ton of fun, the time of need induced tankiness feels so good

I've tried applying it a couple different ways and this looks like a fun version

I've been trying to decide between this and the Hammer of the Gods variant that was featured by Miso: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94qhI5qZnL4

Have you tried spearfield? To me that's that no.1 skill that benefit from zero duration since it does 5× damage naturally when the duration expires.

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?

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!
