Slam Bleed Titan Gear and Sockets

Equipment and Modifiers

For your Weapons, prioritize getting high physical damage and attack speed. With the recent nerf of Hammer of the Gods, you'd want to equip attack speed on both your Weapons Swap 1 and 2 maces. If you're on a budget, equip your high increase to Melee Skills mace for Weapon Swap 2, since it will scale better with Hammer of the Gods.

It's also important to aim for a shield with 75% increase in Block Chance to get about 74% total Block Chance with your passives skills. This is crucial for surviving heavily juiced high-tier maps.

For your other Equipment, prioritize capping all resistances and getting Strength to ensure survival in higher-tiered Atlas maps. Strength will also ensure that you'll be able to equip your maces even with Giant's Blood active. On top of those, you'd also want to get increase movement speed and spirit for faster clearing and to activate all the Persistent Buffs recommended for the build.

For Jewels, you'd want to equip 2 Rubies with Bleeding Chance to increase your chance to Bleed by approximately 90% for both Weapon Swaps. Rage on Hit is also extremely crucial as this will be your only source of Rage. The rest of the modifiers can be adjusted based on what's available to you!

You would also want to equip 2 Unique Jewels, the Controlled Metamorphosis and From Nothing Diamonds, these will allow you to equip extremely powerful Notables without having to connect them to your passive tree.

Time of Need	Cannibalism Vitality
Berserk	-

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.

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 and Infernal Cry to Weapon Slot II for the build's boss rotation.

Passive Skill Tree

Note that the Warrior shown above is at level 94, with Skullcrusher and Battle Trance yet to be obtained.

Ascendancy Tree
Earthbreaker, Colossal Capacity, Hulking Form, Mysterious Lineage
Passive Nodes

3.	Impact Area, Impact Force, Battle Fever, Prism Guard, Vengeful Fury, Bestial Rage and Blood Magic	4.	Spike Pit, Brute Strength, Split the Earth, Skullcrusher, and Giant's Blood
5.	Crushing Judgement, Authority, Aggravation, and Polymathy	6.	Blood Letting and Lay Siege
7.	Battle Trance	8.	Acceleration

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

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. 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.

To get powerful Notables scattered across the tree, equip your Controlled Metamorphosis and From Nothing Diamonds, so get Vengeful Fury, Prism Guard, Bestial Rage, and Acceleration. Lastly, you would also need to instil your Amulet with the right Distilled Emotions to get Cruel Methods.

Slam Bleed Titan Playstyle and Skill Rotation

Skill Rotations
Mobbing	▶
Bossing	▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶

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. Earthquake will apply Bleed to the enemy, while Stampede will turn the Bleeding damage into Haemocrystals. These crystals will then be triggered by the Earthquake's delayed aftershock for massive AoE burst.
2. For rarer and more powerful enemies, you can use Hammer of the Gods after using Seismic or Infernal Cry to deal significant damage. Be careful not to use Weapon Slot II to avoid dyi[Glossary] AoE
3. 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

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

1. Alternate the use of Earthquake and Stampede to quickly build up Stun while dealing a good amount of damage.
2. After heavy stunning, use Seismic Cry and Infernal Cry to switch to Weapon Set II and empower the next attack.
3. Proceed to use Hammer of the Gods, then cast an Earthquake to get the benefits of the Perforation passive skill.
4. Afterward, use Stampede to swap back to Weapon Set I and turn the Bleeding into Haemocrystals for massive burst damage.
