[PoE 3.23] Exerted Transfigured Slam

[@stephenswinehart]

The new volcanic fissure just looks badass 🔥

[@Fortexcross]

For real. I want to make a Volcanic Fissure build solely because of how awesome it looks.

[@thewulf777]

can't disagree there. groudn slam may do more damage but this... this is just way too cool. and more damage uptime on bosses? I'd say that more than makes up for the less damage

[@xsicho]

It plays really well, clear packs offscreen even before you leap slam to that pack. There's also a tip of aiming slightly behind bosses so they get hit 3 times instead of first and third since the second fissure always travel away from first target. Aiming slightly behind means it will travel back to the boss even after hitting it once during the first fissure. Have fun!

[@magicshroom3346]

i feel it was the most effective of them all

[@LaughingSkull451]

​@@Fortexcross Same. New VF and Ground Slam of Earthshaking.

[@dice2775]

Love the presentation of your video. All of these look fun!

[@BIGPILGRIM420]

what an excellent and informative vid. thanks for the showcase!

[@altromonte15]

POE preparing for the WW2 expansion, with them explosions. that's a really cool effect, love how heavy it feels.

[@chrisditmi7119]

this is like 2 years but streamers need wait that build creators give them new builds to show it.

[@MinisculeBug]

Holy fuck, I have never seen a more satisfying, destructive slam showcase! Would you be willing to make an updated build with the 3.25 changes in mind?

[@Snyo]

@@MinisculeBug I am not sure. But there will be other slam build guides because of the melee buff. You may refer to them.

[@Dahbomb88]

Very enjoyable display of slam carnage!

[@phatty7791]

Finally! Some attentions to slam! Slams are the most satisfying builds in PoE imo. The feel, the sounds of explosions are so impactful and powerful. I always make a slam build every league. Idc if it has buttons, the mechanic is engaging and i enjoy it alot.

[@RegenliefArtoria]

The way I make characters is super inefficient but this vid just makes me want to try harder anyway. Thanks, and awesome vid. Well done!

[@DiegoSzad]

This video was nicely made, congrats. Very useful info and display.

[@KingJerbear]

Cool video, I have like zero desire to play melee build or slam skills but this was really fun to watch! Sunder and that Volcanic Fissure just look so badass to play

[@belenub88]

amazing showcase man 🤯 it's a breath of fresh air to see new meele skills in action

[@Ian.Farrell]

This video has given me some hope that my character may work out. Thank you.

[@robgg956]

Thank you for this, saving me lots of regrets and character slots!

[@XR190190]

I am addict to slam. The reason for me is because it's such a display of power. I feel so powerful slamming the ground and destroying everything in front of me. It just feels so good

[@vwvwvwvvw6143]

same here, shame it's incomparable to meta builds like TS or HB, they have giga tons of dmg, a lot of speed, good clear, good single target any off-meta builds seem to be much slower and hard to get all-rounded like that

[@XR190190]

@@vwvwvwvvw6143 Melee in general has been butchered patch after patch for some reason. It's still viable, but definitely not feeling as good as bow or poison builds nowadays! I mean, if we look at the top melee skill, boneshatter. It's good but not even close to other top meta skills

[@rul8734]

Thanx for the vid , was rlly nice and helpful :)

[@kushalrai5176]

This vid sounds so manly i just grew another set of chest hair 😂

[@Snyo]

* Warcry * x 100

[@seth.remar.supreme]

It was fun to watch bro.

[@russmanYT]

i used volcanic fissure while leveling my shitty mana stacker heirophant for a couple acts, was wondering what it would look like juiced up. fuckin glorious is what

[@duelist43]

New Fissure can hit the same enemy not only twice. Its possible to always hit minimum 4 times, in some cases this number raises to six (20% quality)

[@PeachMang0Pie]

good presentation. subscribed.

[@sachinjungade9265]

I think its because of herald of ash effect

[@itsame_th2283]

That's it I'm rerolling. Awesome vid

Great vid bro can't wait to start my melee character

[@nihnkasneenh]

엔드세팅이 기대되네요! 재의전령 보는 맛 못참지 ㄷㄷ

[@Sherudons]

People look at you strangely when you say you like the slow slamming gems. Then they see the screen die in fire and they understand.

[@george_denbrough]

Thank you for making this

[@wilsonwong9915]

How about the new tectonic slam and earthshatter?

[@Zerasad]

Good concise informative video, well done!

[@addict3d1224]

You should try the new consecrated path.

[@MrHogann]

You can provide MTX list in your skills? Those explosions are neat

[@Snyo]

The explosions are from despair herald of ash effect.

[@Paotato.D]

Bro your edit is great!

[@Snyo]

Thanks a lot.

[@KUNAIfever]

as i tasted snaking , i was that close of thinking of league starting it

[@paragrin8385]

Thanks for doing this! Was planning to do a melee bosser and couldn't decide on a build. thinking this will help

[@krullexneo]

2nd build this league is Steelmage's Ground Slam of Earthshaking and it's a lot of fun!

[@paragrin8385]

have you experimented with the new earthquake yet?

[@Gusribaldi]

Great work, ty

[@DeadlyBobz]

My eyeballs are officially seared

[@TorsteinTheFallen]

new slams look amazing!

[@nicela9431]

Missing concecrated path of endurance here and Ice Crash

[@Snyo]

I choose slams based on my preference. There should be other yt for those skills.

[@caramelfrapNSO]

Thanks for this !!

[@MAXHATKA]

Crazy BigBoom Machine, i like it

[@sebastiangrebe8276]

These are neat. Visual clarity is the first defensive layer. So Sunder is Number 1 there.

[@jpeg.jordaan]

I tried to go some melee/minion hybrid builds this league because i always end up playing slams but not loving it... maybe its time to just go back to slams lol

[@AzzRushman]

Man the highlight really made me think that, maybe there is such a thing as "too much action" in videogames 0:20

[@saltamuertosturambar4050]

Really well presented video. *UUAAGH* /10

[@BlueWater228]

Literaly my build. But i use Earthquake + tincture for max aoe. Bang all screen in one shot.

[@Snyo]

That's good. I want to try that.

[@GRIMHOOD99]

Melee directed by Michael Bay be like

[@standylixgames7757]

damnit im suppose to be studying programming and you had to upload these slam build im a sucker for slam, now I have to rerol into another character

[@shawn7384]

I may have to go this route with my Marauder... annihilating everything with a slam and the explosions would feel so... "God-like"! Kind of like a "Thanos Snap".

[@GGxQuinn]

i tested these in ssf, that sunder is the original version of Sunder. i think it might be best used as dual wield full attsack speed, not so much war cry just a guess

[@Snyo]

I agree. It would scale better with attack speed.

[@Sunstroke112]

thank you so much for showcasing all the slams! Is it possible to run volcanic fissure of snaking as a strength stacking chieftain? If yes, do you perhaps know a strength stacking guide you would recommend? Cheers

[@Snyo]

Sure, it would work. For str stacking, I don't know much but you may refer to builds that using Lead Sprinkler.

[@Sunstroke112]

thank you! One more question, how do you actually ignite your enemies with resolute strikes?@@Snyo

[@kidzesty6303]

Fantastic video

[@luhcsgrimm8857]

Looking forward to tge new tech slam

[@alekseym9815]

That's badass😮

[@corbtv]

On one hand I looked at the video and was like "WHAT THE FUCK THAT'S SICK", but than I remembered that the warcry piano, the slow clear speed and that tornado shot exists.

[@num2007]

is there a way to make a volcanic fissure build with more speed ?

[@Snyo]

Maybe drop warcries and attack speed scaling? And Berserker or Raider.

[@bozy0223]

bro this looks like so much fun💀💀💀

[@문명진-z8w]

와우....완성본 기다리고 있을께요

[@ezackyoung1]

finally i love this kind of build i had find many way to get it . nice build i try it now

[@dixalex02]

Thanks for this video. I was about to give up on my strength stacker berserker because it kept dying. I put in volcanic fissure snaking and it solved all my problems. It auto targets attacks and is distanced "melee". Christmas is paganism.

[@Oathkeeper89]

I don't care much for warcry piano or efficiency but this looks fucking amazing.

[@blindorize]

Do the new Tectonic Slam plsss

[@TheFi1thyCasual]

This looks like a ton of fun.

[@vi8799]

So what is the problem with the fissure and the penance mark? As I understand it, the slam should jump between each phantasm and theoretically overlaping the boss between them.

[@Snyo]

Fissure moves so random after hitting an enemy, so it seems not guaranteed to overlap.

[@vi8799]

@@Snyo I'm currently planning ignite build with this skill that uses controlled blaze, because this fissure can damage the boss 3 times (or more?) in a row. I wanted to know if blaze charges count if the skill was triggered by Tawhoa Chozen?

[@crimsonotachi2334]

if you dont mind me asking where is your testing on the transfigured ice crash since it appears you did all slams except for that one. or the consecrated path for that matter

[@Snyo]

Yeah. I just looked at slams and choose which to play based on their effect. I'm sorry that I didn't play those.

[@Smite_Sion]

Tectonic slam of cataclysm is also so much fun to play, but you kinda need to play jugg for it. Currently in the process to just stack as much damage in the first hit as possible with the tincture that grants +25% to crit against full health enemies and your attacks can't be evaded while on low life.

[@tumiyanzz1315]

fyi if you used the tincture before the patch that hit today, the tincture was bugged and didnt really do much. but that should be fixed now!

[@Smite_Sion]

@@tumiyanzz1315 Thx, should definitely play then today :)

[@chicknwing2742]

Reminds me a bit of leap quake barbarian in Diablo.

[@dontpanic15]

for the leap slam go for reduce stun threshold and double stun, stuff like that, and make sure you are immune or have layer of defense from being stunned yourself. then you can leap in and out of danger safely because they are stunned longer than the attack speed of leapslam, add bleed then you can jump around doing more damage to bleeding enemies watch your DPS ramp way up. im running leap slam with warcrys of corruption right now, its extremely fun combination of buffing myself while damaging the enemy making them bleed corrupted blood til they explode. fun.

[@FZeroRacer]

For Volcanic Fissure, does quality stacking to 40 allow it to hit three times? My theory is that it can 'chain' back to the boss after it chains away and hits nothing. So in theory four additional eruptions is the next breakpoint

[@Snyo]

That's really a good idea. 1st, 3rd, 5th chain will hit a single target.

[@HaPKoMaTo3]

So if you stack enough AoE you can hit the boss 5 times instead of 3. AoE per endurance charge should be good enough. And i think we can carry the damage to the moon by str stacking as jugg.

[@kino373]

do you plan on testing the new Tectonic Slam?

[@Snyo]

I want to move on to a new build. (sorry)

[@mastery7901]

Is it me or is Melee worse than spellcasters in terms of damage and ease-of-play in POE? I have played boneshatter, cold elemental dot and now a detonate dead and my worst experience was with boneshatter. Its stupidly hard considering enemies hit you harder in maps that matter and your dps lacks in contrast to spellcasters. Im steamrolling through the game with Detonate dead at the moment as the damage you do is insane and melts bosses and mobs fast which means that my defences do not need a heavy investment as with melee builds. Does anyone else feel this way?

[@chad607111]

Not a slam enjoyer. Still, this is a great video for introducing people slams. Thanks for sharing your conclusion.

[@cheeromatic]

leap slam look so bad the volcanic and ground slam tho, very badass

[@AronFigaro]

FYI: Sunder of Earthbreaking does not overwrite itself if you recast it. This means you can scale it with attack speed like pre-rework Sunder. This is more the intended use case, I find it hilarious it's semi-viable on a warcry slam build like yours. It's designed for something totally different. I'd either do Slayer or Champion and scale AS and maybe Impales, or I'd just do Jug and scale AS and AoE.

[@mooseclamps]

I really doubt you'd get enough DPS for any of the juiced content this league.

[@Snyo]

That's a good insight.

[@vynze]

what does this mean "does not overwrite itself"? would love an explanation!

[@banger_land]

@@vynze old slam skills choke if you reuse them too fast again. Like the shockwaves simply disappear without reaching far targets, etc.

[@Fox5z]

@@vynze Regular Sunder stops bursting if you cast a new one. It has the line akin to "minimum 2 bursts", which means that if you spam it, you'll produce at max 2 bursts from single sunder. If you wanted sunder to travel far, you'd need to wait for it to finish before slamming another one Transfigured one does not have that limitation

[@overtrist]

For some reason when i click the ground whilst having Sunder of Earthbraking equipped my character refuses to move and instead only uses the ability. With Sunder I can walk around and only attack when I click on an enemy, but this skill somehow denies me the movement. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[@drazz1050]

not sure how to fix but a workaround could be holding shift to attack in place.

[@carppoof2867]

which herald mtx is that, looks good.

[@turbanheadless]

Very ethical and manly

[@spacecreated6820]

I can't get into the game to test, have you tried Volcanic Fissure of snaking with General's Cry?

[@Snyo]

I haven't tried but each of clones will fire fissure.

[@kuatoroespada]

I want slams to become proper viable so badly. I miss them

[@JasielMartini]

Sadly enough, melee is in a bad spot right now, with slam skills being quite possibly in the worst spot possible lol. Poison skills are ok, steel skills are pretty decent, strike skills need work but theyre useable... but slams are just awful / requiring not only warcries to exert them but the totems as well, as a massive budget to perform well enough to clear all non-uber content. Especially this league. Enemies are too damn tanky and most slams do little to no damage. Feelsbadman.

[@aberwood]

I've been playing these on jug with the AOE scaling, its hilarious. you can get 1 ascend 6% per endurance, then 3 charms and a jewel (each 6%), and so 30% aoe per endurance charge. 10 charges is 300% increased AOE before you've even added support gems 😂 That also carries over to herald of ash and shockwaves for monster clear.

[@Yursa_Luna]

I am now going to do this. Many thanks

[@Gothamz-gy8ku]

Have you tried volcanic fissure of snaking with that? More importantly I want to know, are the explosions big enough to hit one target 4/5 times in a row? (assuming 20/40% quality)

[@ShadowWolf231]

Leapslam totem build maybe? hmm

[@askgeno6256]

What's the Herald MTX here?

[@Snyo]

It's despair herald effect.

[@BejayCleary]

That looks so sick OMG. Are you using any mtx?

[@Snyo]

I'm using despair herald effect in herald of ash.

[@LeoPerantoni]

Really cool! I tried to league start tectonic slam of cataclysm jugg, but gave up at level 85, it was too weak (i blame it on the fact that i suck at making builds). I might respec it chieftain and give your build a shot!

[@PugTales-AD]

I gotta try out ground slam, looks so satisfying.

[@miflofbierculles5117]

Why did you not use the most obvious slam skill for chieftain, tectonic slam of cataclysm? It's unbelievably strong and has by far the most AoE, around double or tripple that of ground slam.

[@ShadowKingSprites]

Endurance charge gen on chieftain kinda sucks now they lost the endurance charges from warcry and the +1 max endurance charges. Especially since Endurance Charge on Stun can only proc once per skill. Better to go Jugg if you wanna go Tectonic

This looks pretty min maxed, whats the experience getting to this point in investment. I know this is a slam demo but you did show gear so keen to know if i will dig my eyeballs out until i get this this.

[@Snyo]

Once I got a good weapon from the market, it was okay to run t16. Before that, I was struggling in t10. Other gears except weapon was cheap enough. Only I paid most is the forbidden jewel set. (2div each) I agree that gear explanation was too quick. I'm sorry. You may refer to the pob for the detailed gears. But there are some gears that is not min-maxed yet. You can upgrade them.

[@cashandraven2369]

You 100% can Super leap slam without an enemy nearby, hell you dont even have to land near it given how big the AOE is either. As for IntCry stacks, just use Frostblink instead.

[@beardrot9678]

is there a pob for the other ones not just sunder? mainly looking for volcanic fissure of snaking.

[@Snyo]

I just swap sunder with other slams. It works just same but you can drop Avatar of Fire because volc fissure has already 60% fire conversion.
