Weapons

For your Weapon Set 1, you will be dual wielding two One-Handed Maces. Aside from Level to All Melee Skills and Additional Physical Damage modifiers, it is recommended to also get Attack Speed. Aim for at least 1.6 Attacks per Second because this significantly improves the performance of Leap Slam.

For Weapon Set 2, this will be set up exclusively for Shield Wall. Nebuloch Execratus Hammer is used specifically because its passive will make Shield Wall crit, which is important for dealing damage. For your Shield, look for as much Armour as you can to further increase Shield Wall's damage.

Armor and Accessories

You generally focus on stacking as much Armour as you can with all of your gear. Elemental Resistances are also very important since this build is relatively weak against damage over time attacks.

Note that you also do not need movement speed on your Boots since you will be using Leap Slam most of the time anyway.

Runes and Soul Cores

Equipment Sockets
Weapon
Armor

For your weapons, use Soul Core of Quipolatl on Nebuloch to increase its Atack Speed. Use Greater Rune of Alacrity on Weapon Set 1 to increase Skill Speed, which is useful for your Leap Slam and Boneshatter combo. Lastly, use Greater Iron Rune on your shield to generally boost your damage.

You will want to use Greater Iron Runes for all your Armor pieces to continue stacking as much Armour as you can.

For your belt, you are also looking for Armour, Maximum Life, and Elemental Resistances, similar to the rest of your gear.

Use charms that help deal with damage over time, such as Sanguis Heroum and Antidote Charm. Lastly, Grounding Charm is useful to avoid Shock, which can be problematic when a lot of enemies use lightning-based attacks.

This build maximizes Leap Slam, Boneshatter, and Shield Wall as your main sources of damage. All other active skills are set up in such a way to boost your Shield Wall damage and deal a decent amount of damage.

Scavenged Plating is an essential part of the build since it significantly increases your Armour, then Berserk gives you a nice damage boost.

※ Legend: Red = Weapon Set I | Green = Weapon Set II

This build generally increases Melee Damage, Elemental Resistance, and Armour. Weapon Set 1, which would be your double One-Handed Maces, focus on Area Damage, AoE, and Mace Damage. Weapon Set 2, which is your Nebuloch and Shield combo, boost Attack Damage and Critical Damage since this improves your Shield Wall damage.

Jewels

Note: The modifiers listed are arranged according to priority.

Undying Hate IconUndying Hate Timeless Jewel ・Glorifying the defilement of X souls in tribute to Tecrod
・Passives in radius are Conquered by the Abyssals Historic
Time-Lost RubyTime-Lost Ruby ・+X% increased Armour
・+X% increased Stun Buildup
・Gain Rage on Melee Hit
Heart of the Well IconHeart of the Well Diamond ・Recover X% of Maximum Life on Kill
・X% increased Armour from Equipped Armour

The main focus would be the Undying Hate Timeless Jewel that is specifically in tribute to Tecrod. Slotting this nearby the Vaal Pact Passive will turn it into Sacrifice of Blood, which increases your Life Regeneration based on your life lost.

This synergizes well with the Atalui's Bloodletting lineage support gem since it converts your mana costs into life costs. Thus, constantly using skills will grant you higher and higher Life Regeneration, allowing you to sustain constant skill use.

The Time-Lost Rubies and Heart of the Well Diamond are there to give you additional Armour.

Armour Stacking Titan Playstyle and Skill Rotation

Mobbing Rotation

The build focuses heavily on priming enemy packs for stun with Leap Slam then finishing them off with Boneshatter. The rotation is as follows:

  1. Charge into enemy packs with Leap Slam to prime them for stun.
  2. Hit any stun-primed enemy with Boneshatter.
  3. Repeat these two skills.

Bossing Rotation

Your goal would be to break the enemy boss' Armour, produce an Endurance Charge, use Nebuloch passive, then set up your Shield Wall damage. The rotation is as follows:

  1. Spam Armour Breaker to fully break the enemy's Armour.
  2. Execute a perfectly-timed Pefect Strike to produce an Endurance Charge.
  3. Put down Shield Wall, which will consume the Endurance Charge due to Nebuloch passive.
  4. Destroy the wall with Fortifying Cry for high single-target damage.
