Hey guys, can you tell me what should be the next step? https://pastebin.com/ymSs3uB1

Is it time to unlearn the bottom part of the tree and start grabbing the crit ones? Time to start crafting/getting the clusters and jewells?

I know the gear is meh, im just trying to transition from non-crit.

Thank you for posting this guide, I'll be using this build plan since I exactly got 2 exalts. I've got a question should I not worry about what type of armor I need to buy as long as it has the same effects or not?

Oof. Just took me 337 jagged fossils to hit t1 physical. what a relief. so tired of sending PMs for more, lol

Recommendation on what to do next? Aug Attack Speed? Aug second crit? Does it matter I got Global Crit Strike instead of increased Crit Strike chance?

I could not agree with you more on the Author's Job on the write up. Awesome job indeed

Wow, I have to say this is one of the best and fun builds I've played. I like especially that it is a challenge to play optimally. Great job with the Build write-up and all 200+ pages I went thru contained some great information that made rounding out the character a blast.

Every new league I start with a Vortex/Cold Snapper. Then I go with a minion build of some kind, this league it was Carrion Golems. I farm a ton of currency with them and then look around for another build to play that I've never tried before. This league it was a Duelist Impaler with Paradox and Saviour. I am not a fan of melee builds normally (nor glass-cannon Bow builds). After investing a lot in the Duelist Impaler it still felt un-fun to play and although damage was pretty good, died a lot. So I searched around for something else.

Thankfully I stumbled across this great build and even better write-up.

So now at Lvl 93, I am cruising around smashing and slamming everything, great defense & EHP and most important a ton of fun, and visually my Chieftain is awesome!

@Wiredog
I took a look at your POB (and I am far from an expert on this build, but I have messed around with a ton of different options i.e., Stone Golem, Blood Rage, Timeless Jewel both Corrupt Soul and Divine Flesh, Skitter Bots, etc) these are a few things that jumped out at me:
1) Try to transition to Anger from Herald of Ash - its just better and our Ascend gives us "ash" on bosses.
2) When you get Anger - find a Watcher's Eye for either extra fire damage and crit multi or Fire Resist pen. To do that you'll need a reduce Mana Resv. Amulet
3) Killing things faster means less damage for you so once you max Skill Gems and try Awakened Ele Damage and a few other Alt gems - you will feel a lot better overall.
4) I manually cast Wave of Conv on bosses (not needed on monsters) and use an Increased Duration for Immortal Call - much better.
5) Instead of so many Life nodes you can better utilize a lot of those passive Skill points for more damage and/or Defense synergy. Look at my character Grumpio for ideals.
6) This build, I dare say more than any I've played, is a fun challenge mini-game within itself to properly use you War Cries at the right times. Practice on white maps until its muscle memory and make sure things are dying fast.
7) Go thru a few POE Ninja Tectonic Slam builds for some ideals to try out.
8) With Ascend, I've found Tukohama much better as I am always dropping Warchief Totem at Rares, Bosses and Large Packs -- the damage increase is awesome.
9) Your gear looks pretty good to me but I am sure others here with more experience might have suggestions.

Lastly, I want to again thank the OP for such a great write up and so many great replies to questions throughout this thread - they answered all my questions early on.

Alt Tree Ideas using Threads of Hope to pick-up different passives that work for your build:

+1 Permanent Frenzy and Endo charge by going south plus juicy Life nodes:

This way allows you to mix and match as needed with Reduced Mana Resv., and Amplify and Righteous Decree but still get the good Staff ones for example:

Hello Jenno,

I am playing a bit of a different Tectonic slam build, without Fist of War. I was looking up some of the characters with highest DPS on Tectonic slam on POE Ninja and remembered your account name from this guide. When I import your current character into POB, it says you are using 131 passive points. How?

Sorry if it is a stupid question it is my first league since Abyss.

Thanks!
