Path of Exile 2 - Exploding Stampede Titan UPDATES [0.1.0]

[@fear804]

If anyone wants more single target with this, I highly recommend taking out totem and replacing it with seismic cry. Now when you heavy stun a boss or rare, pop infernal cry + seismic cry then drop hammer of the gods. Seismic cry gives your next slam a guaranteed aftershock when used on a heavy stunned enemy (so granting a double damage hammer).

[@daviduck12]

Yeah, i did that. This is a good way to do very big damage with HotG.

[@Roccosiffredo93]

Which gem are you using on seismic? Just for curiosity. Thanks!

[@cloudcastsmagicmissile]

I think this is definitely the way to go, however I'd keep the totem for rage gen so you can get the Enraged Warcry multiplier, and drop Leap Slam instead. Leap slam has really been underperforming in terms of areas it can traverse me to. I think the only place I really need Leap Slam is level 4 of Trial of Sekhema

[@mitchelallen7799]

​@@cloudcastsmagicmissile how does this build do in sanctum? Doesn't the lack of control of your character while stampeding cost you honor?

[@djake1743]

Appreciate the update man. And thanks for answering my question during stream. I got to tier 3 maps now and I’m actually gonna try out some attack speed nodes. Might be worth to speed up that stampede animation.

[@josefelipes.s.6690]

this build saved my game, before I was feeling very bored with titan

[@sanchez444]

Really happy with the rate of update videos and the clarity of information, earned a new sub señor Cloud.

[@JacoNotorious]

Looking great man, I feel like I am really learning with ya and developing my critical mind for this. One thing I have been trying to get down as you responded to my last comments is I am giving Endurance Charges a chance. I am not high enough level for stampede yet, but man once I get it im excited. Right now an Endurance Charge heals me for 9% max HP and I can get up to 4 now. Its pretty cool to heal off something neatly built into the rotation of using Infernal Cry. When I eat all 4 charges it heals 36% Max HP and gives the Empowered Attack for the next 4 attacks instead.

[@csn5605]

What are you using that consumes endurance charges to heal you?

[@berkcevrim4124]

If I may ask, how do you consistantly generate that many endurance charges?

[@JacoNotorious]

@@csn5605 Both Warcries consume ALL charges on cast. If you have 4 charges, then your next 4 attacks are empowered on Infernal Cry. Infernal Cry can make your next strike very devastating. I dont even have Seismic Cry yet, but soon, that one empowers the next SLAM ability to cause an aftershock (repeats damage) I am really excited to get this one!

[@JacoNotorious]

@@berkcevrim4124 It definitely requires work early game. There is a tier 1 passive skill gem called Break Endurance that when the skill you have it on causes 100% Armor Break, there is a 20% chance to gain an Endurance Charge. I am primarily using a 2h mace with Bone Shatter when targets are primed for guarantee Heavy Stun. 20% is a low chance, but if you can Heavy Stun several enemies at once (not hard to do will be easier with Stampede) then the charges come fast. Just like in this video we are using Shattering Blow to make our Heavy Stuns break armor. You can use the Tier 1 Green Passive Skill Gem "Perpetual" on your Infernal Cry which will provide a 35% chance to not consume the charges but still have the effect as if they were used. The big thing I have found that is super annoying is any ability that has "Consume Fully Broken Armour" (Leap Slam or Sunder) it WONT WORK. My original idea was to Leap Slam around, Heavy Stunning, Fully Breaking Armour, getting tons of Endurance Charges and then using Warcries. I will have to wait for Stampede because it does not have a mechanic of "Consumes Fully Broken Armour"

[@JacoNotorious]

Oh an there is a Spirit Buff called like Magma Shield or something that gives a charge every time you block, I know nothing about blocking, but maybe it would be an effective way to get Endurance Charges during bosses when I cant rely on a 20% upon armour break.

[@lufhkg]

This guide definitely improves to proc the shock wave explosion from stampede

[@ShowMeDaWay88]

Just switch to this for tier clearing and love it great job! 👍 Keep up the great work.

[@mattcamps3759]

Good shit man, build is pretty much how I changed mine too

[@manuzao1213]

amazing build, congratz! Could tell us the path of your build? like what take first etc

[@ScientistGG]

does crushing blow mean we do not have to invest into ANY % stun build up?

[@kelshake]

This video convinced me to swap from earthshatter to stampede for clearing. Still using earthshatter to stun/single target and I recommend it

[@mvpmvp2980]

2 questions, 1. wouldnt shield charge work better than stampede, if youre using a shield anyway? It seemed like shield charge is a faster animation/travel skill than stampede. 2. have you ever considered going into Avatar of Fire and going full fire damage with other fire nodes on the tree, since armor explosion + infernal cry is already pushing you towards that to some extent? Or probably not worth it?

[@leo0052]

1. Shield Charge is a movemenz ability imo there is no way u get the same dps with shield charge. I still love running it + cdr gem 2. Very good idea for that build should also help with converting damage taken to fire damage + HOTG is just insane with fire ticks. Interested to hear his opinion :)

[@Francorocco]

i'm running that build with avatar of fire, to scale both ignites and armour explosion at the same time, the hammer of gods ignite is insane foir single target

[@JacoNotorious]

I need to hear about Giants Blood, Ive been thinking the same too as im in Act 2 and very suddenly the 2H 3x stat cost is almost impossible for the Slowest big 2-hnd

[@djake1743]

Act 2 is way too early to be taking giants blood. I probably started building towards it when I’m in cruel act 1 or 2.

[@mvpmvp2980]

i was able to do it but had to beeline for those big strength nodes and then polymathy (at bottom of tree) early on. Probably not worth it compared to other nodes.

[@uzaho86]

Ive only just got it in act 6 with just a few strength on amulet and strength from skill tree

[@leo0052]

Ye im on waystones 7 now and i have to use a + Strength Shield to sustain my current mace xd working on it but im very happy with my all capped ele resistences and 60% Chaos res

[@Lutzilla_]

is there any beginner guide from now on you can recommend?

[@seanwiggins4116]

How do you think this would do on Warbringer? I believe it has a node that makes it so you can break enemy armor below 0 and I believe there is a support when you break armor it causes an explosion.

[@washedupazir2873]

I think for warbringer there are way better builds than this one

[@Vulgaels]

Warbringer is great if you want to do Phys o4mr use totems. Titan also allows using Xbows and off hand skills etc. If you are going fire and scaling herald too, titan is better

[@AndrewR.Ludlow]

I'm a warbringer and this would be amazing for that.

[@FrogerKrugerAh]

nice build! Do you have it updated on mobalytics? thanks

[@ADirtyEwok]

Love the build! I'm curious if you've considered switching out Perfect Strike and Hammer of the Gods for Sunder and Seismic Cry for your boss killers, or if you may have even tested that already. Since you armor broken them by stunning, Sunder gets a guaranteed crit on the boss. Using Upheaval, it now gets **three** guaranteed crits. With Seismic cry, it now gets **six** guaranteed crits. I'm only in t6 maps myself, but it has literally oneshot every boss I've come across. After stunning with Stampede or Mace Strike, I Infernal Cry, Seismic Cry and Sunder. Boss is immediately dead, and I think it's a faster cast time than Infernal Cry, Hammer, Perfect Strike. Wondering how it does up in higher tiers. If it doesn't quite one-shot, I'm thinking about taking the notable that gives you two empowered attacks per warcry and just casting it twice. What do you think?

[@dirtydard4870]

This is what I do too

[@まおう-j8b]

あなたのビルドは素晴らしい とても参考になります

[@hanschandra7729]

I couldn't get the constant explosion even with shattering blow...I don't use devastate support though, should I get it?

[@Vulgaels]

It's the whole point....

[@Mugetsu192]

then your problem is stun buildup.. devastate doesnt help with that.. devastate is only makes you fully armor break provided you actually stun, shattering blow already does that for you on normal mobs at least. so its unnecessary and you main problem is heavy stunning, shattering blow passive on normal mobs already triggers armor break explosion, provided your explosions have enough stun buildup to trigger another so you need to improve the explosion stun buildup instead things that could help chain explosions would be crushing impact ascendancy.. and more stun buildup..

[@hanschandra7729]

Ah i see, thankyou for the explanation man

[@AndrewR.Ludlow]

Would this be better as a Warbringer?

[@Wlrtuoz]

Why to take any increase armour break on tree while heavy stun is guarantee full break with devastate support ? isn't it stun buildup more important ?

[@shrekthedank1999]

Frees up a gem slot, also you can break armour with other skills aswell

[@james_tiberius_kirk73]

So I’m following along. Level 75, STR 400. I was playing with the Guild leveling today and Hammer of the Gods was working just fine. I upgraded some gears. Hammer of the Gods is a 3-link at the moment with Fist of War, Primal Armament and Eternal Flame. Now I notice Hammer of the Gods says “Skill can’t be used”. WTF? No idea why. Can anyone suggest a reason? 2-Handed Mace with Shield.

[@Shoutenkou]

Perhaps you're over the limit for DEX/INT support gems?

[@james_tiberius_kirk73]

@@Shoutenkou It's quite possible I'm not meeting some sort of Attribute requirement but the game doesn't tell you what it is. I thought it was STR. I'm using Giants Blood so Triple STR requirement which I satisfy for my current 2-H Mace. Each support Gem (3-slots) for Hammer of the Gods has a "75" in Brackets. Does that mean it's 75*3=225 which is on TOP of the Weapon requirement?

[@leo0052]

Great Video already using Stampede but it deosnt look that satisfying since i combo it with Boneshatter for the remaining mobs. Small sidenote you could run the Mana Regeneration on Presence/ Ashes. Its not a huge upsdie but stats are stats :)

[@ElricTheFullMetal]

How does this play style work in trial of sekhema’s, since you are running into monsters with stampede, would make honour management tricky. I ask this because i haven’t yet gotten my last four ascendency points but really want to try out this build. Needless to say my current build is shit thats why i am stuck on first four ascendancy points. My current build is EQ for clear and hog for bleed and single target.

[@mrdeafter]

Molten blast and perfect strike. Focus on fire damage and fire penetration node especially -20% fire resistant debuff on heavy stun

[@xsicho]

Play the chaos trials instead for the last four ascendancy

[@nicolainielsen5370]

I still wanna try this with volcanic fissures with jagged ground, the amount of stun and damage you can do on bosses is insane with it

[@Neolastat]

Isn’t warbringer better at this build? We can block from all directions and have all the other perks that titan can. Only we can focus ignite instead of armor break since we get break in our tree.

[@mvpmvp2980]

i think hulking form is just really OP

[@franvillacabero441]

@@franvillacabero441 yeah but warbringer can block without shield raised because of the perk. Doesn’t warrior have to raise shield to block?

Why do we need Giant Blood for shield?

[@thanmg9703]

For one handing 2 handed mace you need giant blood otherwise you gonna have to use 2 handed mace without shield or one handed mace with shield

[@cloudcastsmagicmissile]

Aside from needing it to use a 2H with shield: especially during early gearing (when you won't have Giant's Blood) you're probably not going to have the greatest weapons available, meaning it's even more important to be running a 2H (as opposed to 1H+Shield) since you need to have high enough damage for Armour Explosion to be able to kill things on its own

[@TheMorterius]

@@cloudcastsmagicmissile oh, actually i didn't tought about using 2h with shield, that's pretty clever, thanks.

[@Moleverd3]

[@alexdicicco5230]

Im not getting consistent explodes

[@cloudcastsmagicmissile]

The most likely culprit is not having enough damage/stun. Both your Stampede and your Armour Explosion need to be capable of heavystunning. The other possibility is lack of AOE; the less density you're facing, the more AOE will make a difference with chaining

I don't understand, we don't play avatar of fire with this build, so we are scaling with physical damage ? why are we stacking elemental damage ? did i miss something ?

[@cloudcastsmagicmissile]

Armour Explosion converts 100% of phys to fire, so it scales off fire bonuses. Likewise Perfect Strike converts 80%. Only Hammer of the Gods is phys-based. In POE2, skill damage is scaled only by the converted output type of damage, not by the initial type (which is very different from how things work in POE1)
