Main Skill: Sunder with Fire Mod

By using a boom mace with the fire mod, you can scale the damage of Sunder based on your strength. The replica albums also provide additional strength-based damage, making your Sunder hits incredibly powerful.

 

Passive Skill Tree: Strength, Iron Will, and Chieftain

The passive skill tree for this build focuses on stacking strength to increase damage. You'll want to grab as many strength nodes as possible, as well as the Iron Will keystone, which converts strength into spell damage. This synergizes well with the Battle Mage's Cry skill, which makes spell damage from strength apply to attacks. Additionally, the Chieftain ascendancy offers a significant boost in damage, especially when your totems are active, making it a great choice for this build.

 

Items: Boom Mace, Replica Albums, Tasselio, and More

The key items for this build are the boom mace with the fire mod and the replica albums. These provide the base damage and additional strength-based damage for your Sunder hits. Tasselio is also used to cap your fire resistance, making it easier to deal with elemental resistances without needing to invest heavily in armor. Additionally, you can use a Purity of Elements Watcher's Eye to get extra fizz resistance, and aim for negative chaos resistance on your gear to increase your chaos resistance.

 

Other helpful items include Iron Will and Battle Mage's Cry for additional spell damage scaling, Coahoma's War Herald for increased damage, Panopticon for extra strength, and Gruthkul's Pelt and Forbidden Flame for the Warbringer skill, which provides rage generation and increased damage for exerted attacks.

 

Auras and Curses: Blood Rage, Assassin's Mark, and Hydrosphere

To further increase your damage, you can use Blood Rage to gain frenzy charges while mapping, Assassin's Mark for extra flat crit, and Hydrosphere to create a shock wave when you use Sunder. These auras and curses synergize well with the Battle Mage's Cry skill and can significantly boost your damage output.

 

Playstyle: Sundering Through Enemies

The playstyle of this build is relatively straightforward. You'll be using Sunder to hit the ground and create shockwaves, dealing massive damage to enemies in your path. You can use your totems for additional damage and support, especially in tougher encounters like Ubers. Keep an eye on your totems and resummon them if they die. Use your auras and curses to generate frenzy charges, apply Assassin's Mark, and create shock waves with Hydrosphere. Additionally, you can use Berserk from Gruthkul's Pelt and Forbidden Flame for a burst of damage when needed.
