Get ready to use
Stampede for clearing and
Rolling Slam to absolutely delete bosses!
Strengths and Weaknesses
- Extremely speedy with massive clear potential.
- Can do all content!
- Budget friendly.
- Weapon swapping away from Shield can be dangerous.
Build Mechanics
Life Sustain
This build stays alive mostly because of two simple mechanics; life leech in combination with instant leech which you can get on Heart of the Well and life on kill from
Cannibalism I. The more Attack Speed, Movement Speed, and Life you get, the more tanky the build becomes! Combine this all with some attack speed and you will feel pretty sturdy!
Sacrifice of Flesh (Huge Defensive)
Sacrifice of Flesh is a very strong defensive layer which you can get by placing an Undying Hate Timeless Jewel near the Blood Magic keystone. This causes the following effect: When taking damage from Hits, 20% of Life Loss is prevented, then 150% of Life Loss prevented this way is Lost over 4 seconds.
Wind Dancer (Giga Defensive)
Falling on the ground after getting hit? Taking any damage at all? No problem,
Wind Dancer blows up the second you get hit, clearing the entire screen.
Single-target Damage
Single target damage mostly comes from
Rolling Slam supported by
Atalui’s Bloodletting, this support gem acts like Blood Magic and increases the physical damage done per 10 life cost of the skill! This means the higher the skill level, the higher the damage. Due to this interaction, you really want to get weapons with as high of physical damage, attack speed, and increased attack skills as possible!
Map Clear
Titans are the AOE kings, all you have to do is spam
Stampede. In combination with
Atalui’s Bloodletting (you switch this support gem back and forth between
Stampede and
Rolling Slam depending on what you are doing, bossing or clearing), the result is entire screenwide clear!
Because we’ll use Polcirkeln and Chernobog, adding
Embitter or
Cold Attunement will clear entire screens in an icy explosion.
Skill Rotation
Map Clearing
Simple and easy, spam
Stampede and watch the entire screen explode! This is truly a one-button build.
Bossing
The bossing rotation for this build is quite simple:
- Throw
Forge Hammer on the ground near the boss. - Place your
Shockwave Totem on top of the
Forge Hammer. - Use your
Infernal Cry, causing the
Forge Hammer to explode. - Spam
Rolling Slam until the boss dies. - If the boss is still alive, repeat the above after
Forge Hammer‘s duration ends.
Gameplay Tips
- Cold damage is key to making Polcirkeln work however once you have enough you can even swap out Polcirkeln for any other ring to your liking.
- Undying Hate should always have “Amanamu”, the seed number does not matter!
Placement should ALWAYS be near the “Blood Magic” keystone. - Chernobog’s Pillar should have as much as possible block chance, this helps you cap your block chance and also increases the damage you do.
Stampede scales heavily of attack speed and movement speed, the more you have the smoother your gameplay becomes.
Video Guide

Gem Info
Go bonk, be stronk.
Rolling Slam should be associated with your secondary weapon set, all other skills with your primary weapon set.- Do not bother switching
Atalui’s Bloodletting between
Stampede and
Rolling Slam unless you are about to start a boss. (so keep it on your stampede while clearing) - You want to get +6 Attack Skills on your weapons instead of +7 melee skills. This is because attack skills also affect your
Herald of Ice. - You can find your companion with “Haste Aura” here.
Berserk is only something you take once you can fit it in while min-maxing, do not prioritize this!- With Perfect Jeweler’s Orbs now so cheap, getting six-linked +1 corrupted skill gems has never been easier. Remember, you can still level up a corrupted gem after corruption!
Ascendancy
Titan
Take the key notables in the following order:
- 1. Collosal Capacity – Gives you an extra bag, quite useful!
Its mostly a gatekeeper for the 2nd point! - 2. Hulking Form – Makes ALL small notables 50% better.
- 3. Earthbreaker – More aftershock chance for your
Stampede and
Rolling Slam. - 4. Mysterious Lineage – 15% more life, you are going to need this!
Skill Tree
This interactive skill tree outlines a balanced level 100 endgame character. You can sacrifice a little bit damage or movement speed since level 100 is very hard to reach for most people but should give you a fun little goal to aim for!
- 400+ Strength to use two-handed maces.
- 157 Dexterity to use
Wind Dancer. - 86 Intelligence to use
Herald of Ice.
The above attribute requirements can be lowered by taking the Reduced Attribute Requirements nodes next to Polymathy on the passive tree.
Additionally, depending on your gear you may need to put points in the Strength nodes around Beef on the passive tree to meet the Strength requirements.

Gearing Tips
Make sure you are capped at 75% for all Elemental Resistances, with as much Chaos Resistance as possible and capping your block chance at 50%! Attributes should be easily managed with Astramentis.
Since we do not really rely on any Armour, Energy Shield or Evasion, be sure to get as much Life as possible. Getting around 3,500 Life is entirely realistic.
Unique Items
- Constricting Command – A core unique that lets you take advantage of the surrounded nodes on the passive tree, this alone will give you over 200% damage, 20% attack speed and 10% movement speed!
- Polcirkeln – This ring makes you shatter monsters that are chilled, with only a little bit of cold damage you will shatter screens full of monsters with ease.
- Chernobog’s Pillar – This shield provides great fire resist, chaos resist and gives you up to 50% multiplicative damage which is turned into cold damage because of
Embitter. - Headhunter (optional) – One of the best belts in the game, steals rare monster buffs after killing it giving huge defensive and offensive buffs!
- Against the Darkness– This jewel helps you fix any resists/life etc that you still need, place this near Beef on the passive tree
- Undying Hate – With amunamu (seed isnt important) his jewel gives a massive defensive boost, place this near the Blood Magic keystone.
- Heart of the Well – This is how we stay alive, this jewel has a lot of very unique modifiers but the one we really want is: % of Leech is Instant!
- Megalomaniac – This unique jewel can open up a lot of passive points, good ones to go for are:
Lay Siege, Gem Enthusiast and Acceleration.
Socketables
This table will show you what socketables are used for each gear slot. Early in your gear progression, you may find you need to use some runes to cap your Elemental and Chaos Resistances.
| Slot | Socketable |
|---|---|
| Main Hand | Greater Iron Runes |
| Off Hand | Greater Iron Rune (2nd set weapon) – Shield: Resistance Runes if required or Ox Talisman |
| Helm | Talisman of Ralakesh |
| Body Armour | Soul Core of Jiquani/Resistance Runes if required |
| Gloves | Talisman of Sirrius |
| Boots | Farrul’s Rune of the Chase |
Corruption And Sanctification Effects
This table will show you what corruption effects are useful for each gear slot. Some of these are very accessible, especially the corruption enchants on the cheaper unique pieces. Be very careful not to corrupt or sanctify an expensive rare item you cannot replace if the process ruins your item!
| Main Hand | 1. +1 to Level of Attack Skills via sanctification 2. More Physical Damage 3. +1 Socket (for extra Iron rune) |
| Off Hand | 1. +1 to Level of Attack Skills via sanctification 2. More Physical Damage 3. +1 Socket (for extra Iron rune) |
| Helm | 1. +X Spirit 2. +1 Socket |
| Body Armour | 1. +1 socket 2. % to Chaos resistance enchant |
| Gloves | 1. +1 socket |
| Boots | 1. +1 socket 2. % increased Movement Speed enchant |
| Belt | 1. % to Elemental Resistance enchant |
| Rings | 1. % to Chaos Resistance enchant 2.% to all Elemental Resistances enchant 3. % Increased Damage enchant 4. % Increased Skill Speed enchant |
Jewels
This is a little priority list of jewels you should get:
- Heart of the Well – Must have % of leech is instant.
- Undying Hate – Must have Amanamu.
- Time-Lost Ruby – Look for % block chance and % increased effect of notable passive skills in radius, you can also desecrate % life on it but this mod cannot be searched for on trade.
- Against the Darkness – Any resist that you need, otherwise damage/life.
- Megalomaniac – Lay Siege, Gem Enthusiast, Acceleration.
A +3 Prism of Belief jewel for either
Rolling Slam or
Stampede would be a significant damage boost for either bossing or mapping. Many Megalomaniac jewels with two useful modifiers work well on this build, so be on the lookout!
Flasks and Charms
The recommended flasks and charm setup is as follows:
- Life Flask – Anything that makes you happy, olroth’s resolve is good but terrible versus bosses.
- Mana Flask – You will not need one!
- Charms – Stone Charm, Thawing Charm & Rite of Passage with the Bear!
