Weapons

Two-Handed or One-Handed Mace and Shield

You can use a One-Handed Mace while mapping for easy access to your Shield. However, once you can get Giant's Blood, switch to a Two-Handed Mace and Shield.

List of Weapons

Armor

Use Armour with Maximum Life and Elemental Resistances

You will not get hit as much mostly because of your warcries' long reach and your shield's blocking, so use whatever armour gives you the best defense and life stats
List of Armors

Accessories

Use an Amethyst Ring and Another Elemental Resistance Ring

In general, use rings that have the most elemental resistances, armour, or damage modifiers. However, having at least one Amethyst Ring will boost chaos resistance, which you cannot get as easily. For the second ring, use whatever has elemental resistances that you still need. A Prismatic Ring can be a good default choice since it increases all elemental resistances.

List of Rings

Use an Armour-based Amulet Early on Then Switch to Mana and Spell Damage

Crimson Amulet Icon Crimson Amulet ・+ Maximum Life
・+ Strength
・Increased Elemental Resistance

Use a Crimson Amulet for extra Life Regeneration per Second since you will be using Blood Magic, which can be difficult to play around if you do not have enough maximum life and life regen.

List of Accessories

Socketables

Armor

In general, using two Iron Runes to get a 40% Physical Damage boost for you Weapon will help greatly. As for your Armor Runes, slot in Body Runes for more health or Rebirth Runes for life regeneration for more survivability.

Charms

POE 2 - Antidote CharmAntidote Charm ・Increased Duration
・Increased Charges
・Recover Life when Used

The Antidote Charm is the build's primary charm, as many enemies use in the endgame use Poison and you will most likely have decent elemental resistances through other equipment.

This build is meant to play around the Warbringer's Ascendency Passives, Warcaller's Bellow and Greatwolf's Howl. You can spam Seismic Cry and Infernal Cry for easy AoE damage and Ignite application. Earthshatter is meant to be placed before doing a warcry for more AoE damage, and Perfect Strike would be your main source of single-target damage. Shield Charge and Leap Slam are used mainly as movement or escape tools. Finally, Time of Need and Overwhelming Presence is used for better damage and survivability.

This build only works after getting your 3rd and 4th Ascendency Point in the Trial of The Sekhemas in Cruel Mode. For leveling, simple Warrior builds such as the Strike Warrior would be more than enough to get you to Cruel Act 2 while also being close enough to pivot to a Warcry build.

Skill Rotations

※ Press on what type you are fighting for a more detailed explanation on the playstyle and skill rotation.

Type Skill Rotation
Mobbing
Infernal Cry Icon Earthshatter Icon Seismic Cry Icon
Bossing
Seismic Cry Icon Infernal Cry Icon Perfect Strike Icon

Mobbing

For general mobbing, you need to do one Infernal Cry to apply ignite to enemies within your range. Do one Earthshatter before spamming Seismic Cry.

Bossing

For bossing, you can still use the Mobbing combo for stun buildup and general damage. For high single-target damage, spam Infernal Cry a few times before doing Perfect Strike as many times as you can.
