[2.2] Dime's Earthquake Ascendant - 100,000 tooltip dps 10,000 Life Level 100 in Perandus Hardcore

Here is my build of character "dimeAsc" - 30th rank 100 on PHC ladder.

Gameplay Video: https://www.twitch.tv/pairdime/v/58599226

Offenses:
- Berseker 10% more damage
- Slayer 30% increased Damage against Rare and Unique Enemies
- RT + Mace damage nodes
- Blood Rage + Frenzy charges
- Hatred + Herald of Ash

Defenses:
- Stun
- Huge life pool + life leech + life regen
- 6-8 Endurance Charges
- Taste of Hate
- Arctic Armour once you have level 3 Enlighten & crafted BM Weapon

Strengths:
- Very fast clear solo & party: leap slam > earthquake > repeat
- Super easy to gear and progress with few requirements prior to T10 maps
- Feels like Diablo 3 Crusader Endgame Thorns Build with The Invoker Set

Weaknesses:
- Party play might feel weak against rares unless you swap out AOE for Concentrated Effect
- Must tank bosses
- Elemental Reflect

Builds that clear slowly, and passively degenerate health, and take more damage.

Good stuff, you belong on reddit.

Where is the 100k Tooltip?

I don't rly like your weapon, as it deals a lot less damage than a Marohi on hit and just increases the tooltip through attackspeed.

But if you made 100 in PHC, gratz anyway.

gz on 100

Wow, only level 91 on standard, 12 achievements complete and you're really gonna talk trash on someone who hit 100 in HC with such a "bad" build?

The faster you hit the ground, the earlier you stun the enemys which adds safety with 100% stunchance ;)

With 25% less dmg on each hit your stun chance will drop aswell.
And a) this is quite some bullshit reason to go for atk speed and b) with more dmg each hit you can actually stun bosses better, which is the real deal.

how do u keep up your mana?
didnt find any mana leech regen on first glance
im thinking of doing smthg similar with marohi erqi or atziris axe.
i tried looking at some scion 2hander builds for inspiration and thisone was only one i found.
makes me kinda suspicios if its viable? but u got to 100 in HC so it gota be :)

My weapon grants Earthquake Blood Magic. Leap Slam is linked to a blood magic gem. For everything else: Mana leech from my amulet, before that you can get mana leech on a Viridian jewel, or spend 3 points for mana leech on the Duelist side of the tree. Your question reminded me to post all my Jewels which I have done in the OP.

Marohi Erqi is great but the slow attack speed almost gives it its own play style which I do not enjoy. For my build I tend to do a lot of leap slamming, which feels terrible with a slow weapon.

My build is viable and can keep up with Voltaxic builds in Gorge/Plateau ;) - the only thing which was questionably viable are some end-game (red tier) map bosses, for those you probably will want a support with you. You can totally go in and tank both Village Ruin bosses with Taste of Hate up if you want, depending on map mods, I did it a few times solo but tend to play safer normally.

I have been doing lab runs as level 100 in PHC, like 50 runs down and no close calls.

Where is the 100k Tooltip?

Conc + Blood rage + Frenzy charges + taking a savage hit (or party member running anger/wrath).

The tooltip doesn't even account 30% increased Damage against Rare and Unique Enemies, AFAIK.

Spikes above 100k, most elemental damage. Attack speed's great, aftershock after every 2nd hit.
