PoE 2 Fiery Explosion Warrior - Con Longer Enemy Kill Times

The Slam Bleed Titan build aims to make the Warrior a tank capable of dispatching enemies with slams, earthen attacks, and bleed effects. It is capable of delivering massive burst damage to bosses in a single skill rotation and eliminating hordes of enemies by using Earthquake to proc Aftershocks that will make them bleed.

For clearing, this Warrior build starts by capitalizing on slams and Aftershocks empowered by Rage and Bleed effects. Later on, the build synergy is further improved through the Titan's passives, allowing players to have more consistent Aftershocks and buffs from small nodes.

Slam Bleed Titan Skills and Passive Tree

Active Skills

※ Switch tabs to view build progression: Early Game (Acts 1-2), Mid-Game (Act 3 to Cruel Mode), Endgame (Atlas).

The listed skills serve as the build's end-game kit, with Stampede and Earthquake as the primary damaging skills for mobbing and Hammer of the Gods for bosses. All other skills and gems help buff damage, like Seismic Cry, or help with survivability, like Time of Need.

While leveling, players will use and combine Leap SlamVolcanic Fissure, and Earthquake for mobbing and Perfect Strike for bosses. Transitioning to the mid-game, Hammer of the Gods replaces Perfect Strike and more skills and support gems are added to work towards the end-game setup, further boosting the build's damage and capabilities.

When Gemcutter's Prisms are available, prioritize Hammer of the Gods, Stampede, or Berserk, as the quality effects from these skills will best benefit the build's playstyle. Finally, assign Stampede and Leap Slam to Weapon Slot I to gain shielding benefits and increased survivability and Seismic Cry to Weapon Slot II for the build's boss rotation.

Passive Skill Tree

※ Legend: Yellow = Main | Red = Weapon Set I | Green = Weapon Set II.

Ascendancy Tree
Earthbreaker, Colossal Capacity, Hulking Form, Mysterious Lineage
Passive Nodes
1. Brutal and Near at Hand 2. Aftershocks, Singular Purpose, and Shockwaves
3. Lasting Trauma, Split the Earth, and Skull Crusher 4. Perforation, Spike Pit, and Internal Bleeding
5. Impact Force and Impact Area 6. Perfect Opportunity, Aggravation, and Deep Wounds
7. Prism Guard and Blood Magic 8. Unbending and Resolute Technique
9. Giant's Blood and Brute Strength 10. Blood Letting and Lay Siege
11. Vigilance and Beef 12. Sturdy Metal and Defender's Resolve
13. Polymathy and Authority 14. -

Passive Skill Tree Pathing

This skill path focuses on increasing aftershock, armor, life, damage, and bleed application. From the tree's root, players should make their way through the nodes that give reduced skill duration, allowing Earthquakes to trigger Aftershocks faster. Also, unlock the nearest damage nodes, like Smash, to avoid compromising damage while leveling.

Then, prioritize unlocking nodes that buff AoE and bleed effects to further buff and integrate these mechanics into the build's playstyle. Nodes related to life, resistances, and shields are then unlocked to increase survivability as enemies get tougher, then attribute nodes for increased strength, when necessary, to comply with Giant's Blood when unlocked.

The build also integrates Weapon specialization, with Weapon Set I dedicated to AoE effects and damage nodes for mobbing and Weapon Set II dedicated to bleed effects and single-target damage for bosses.

Slam Bleed Titan Gameplay

Skill Rotation for Mobbing

For mobbing, Earthquake and Stampede are the core enemy clearing skills. The rotation for mobbing is as follows:

  1. Most of the rotation involves continuously alternating between Stampede and Earthquake to defeat enemies around the map.
  2. For rarer and more powerful enemies, use Hammer of the Gods or Perfect Strike (during the early game) after using Seismic Cry to deal significant damage. Be careful not to use Weapon Slot II to avoid dying.
  3. Occasionally, use Seismic Cry against stunned enemies to guarantee empowered Aftershocks.
  4. Use Leap Slam if stuck or surrounded. With the support gem Holy Descent, the landing can take players out of sticky situations and create consecrated ground that helps with life regeneration.

Skill Rotation for Bosses and Rare Monsters

The boss rotation integrates the skill rotation for Mobbing but with additional steps. The rotation for bosses is as follows:

  1. Use the Shockwave Totem at the start of the fight to build up rage.
  2. Use Mace Strike to heavy stun the enemy, mixing in some Earthquakes and Shockwave Totems to further help with stun buildup and rage gain.
  3. After heavy stunning, use Seismic Cry to switch to Weapon Set II and empower the next attack.
  4. Proceed to use Hammer of the Gods, then cast an Earthquake to get the benefits of the Perforation passive skill. Substitute Perfect Strike with Hammer of the Gods if the latter is unavailable.
  5. Afterward, use Stampede to swap back to Weapon Set I and aggravate bleeding.
  6. For mid-game, prime the boss for a heavy stun using Leap Slams and Earthquakes, then use another Earthquake to fully break armor with the Devastate gem before doing steps three and below.

Hello, thank you for using our build page as a reference! Due to the multiple + Levels to Melee Skills modifiers in the build, mana management can become a problem. Since the build has significant survivability with its Maximum Life and Life Regeneration, it is better to use it as its primary resource to cast skills. I hope this answers your question!
