Trenchtimbre Titan, Earthquake King
This build hits with up to six earthquakes a second, half with aftershocks, half with ancestral boosting. The result is a high DPS, ultra-fast attack. It's a one-button against mobs, just earthquake. Against bosses, I hold earthquake and spam HOTG. It's an easy play style with almost no risk of dying while still getting high DPS.
This is a zero-duration titan build that follows on a previous version that I posted a couple of weeks ago. Most of the build is the same, with the new parts described below.
- Base damage: The main difference over the prior version of this build is I swapped in a trenchtimbre. The main issue with this mace, and why it is used so little in attack builds, is its low damage. Since this build has high life, this downside can be mitigated with a bursting decay ring which gives flat physical damage equal to 3% of life (or 4% with a good corruption). With a kalandra's ring and 5k+ life, that works out to up to 400+ flat physical damage.
- Attack speed: The huge perk to the trenchtimbre is its attack speed. On top of 30% attack speed, it allows all increases to minion attack speed to apply to you. Paired with commanding rage, which gives 1% attack speed per 1 rage, and attack speed starts to spike.
- Rage building: The next thing to do is increase rage. A flat rage of 70+ is pretty doable with 30 starting max rage, the hateforge mitts (10 max rage), and the rest coming from the passive tree and time-lost rubies. Eternal rage keeps the rage high.
- Glory building: What really increases max rage, however, is glory. A corruption to the hateforge mitts allows up to 12 max rage per glory skill used in the last 5 seconds. The craving slaughter passive allows another 8 max rage based on the same conditions. This means that each glory skill that you use will increase max rage by 20, for a total of up to 100. This brings the total max rage to 170+.
- Berserk: The berserk spirit gem brings the effect of rage up to 300+. This means you get 300% increased attack speed, 350% increase physical damage (from bestial rage), 300% more damage, and 300% increased armor (from vengeful fury).
- High DPS: The result of all this is earthquake dealing up to 2M/s based on the tooltip. In reality, it feels more like 5M/s especially once the heavy stun kicks in.
- Near invulnerability: This build has 25k life regen per second and is immune to all slows and elemental ailments thanks to the combo of zero duration and time of need. With 5k+ in life and 50k+ effective armor (25k, 2x with goregirdle), I can face tank everything while mapping as well as most bosses.
