Some form of vaal haste/vaal molten shell

I haven't thought that much about this build yet, also I've never played groundslam before so I'm not quite sure how the links work, also the Single Target was just a random 6L I thought up... I'm sure there's better.

As for gear, basically I'm thinking:
- Hegemony's Era (this is mandatory, I pretty much saw the item and thought GS might be funny as a crit build)
- Carcass Jack for AOE? Or Voll's Protector? Or Kaom's? Or Belly?
- Maligaro's Virtuosity
- Rat's Nest
- rings and amulet just aiming for crit
- rare boots and belt

I'm thinking of adding some more ele damage to the build, no real way to deal with reflect atm...

Weird gems.

Why Melee Splash in Groundslam?
Why Knockback and Cold Penetration in Glacial Hammer? Use Heavy Strike and you got both, and two free support gems.

You're also spending too many gem slots.
You have 2 6L, 3 4L at your disposal. Where will the Leap Slam be?

Your gear is a bit too unique heavy, I doubt you'll have fun capping the resists wearing a 2hander, maligaros, rat's nest and a unique chest. That leaves boots, belt and jewelry for about 120% to all resists.

And I miss survivability, this build will easily get killed. 160% life + nothing else?

yeah idk gems setup tbh, will be playing around with a few different setups to try

as for resists, I really doubt that's a problem... with CJ that leaves 5 pieces to cover 108% which means each piece needs less than 22% ... that's a very easy number to hit.

Tree can probably use more armour, I was considering redoing it right after posting this actually lol... I thought about running it as a duelist and going VP + Unwavering since Templar opening doesnt have as much defences.

Also yeah I'm too used to playing 1h builds lol, I guess I would cut glacial hammer to a 4L and then add leap slam to the chest. Maybe I could switch to manual cursing and remove HoT instead though

I'd suggest a Gem setup like this (obviously swap Cyclone for Groundslam):


6L: main attack
Two CWDT setups, as this provides more utility, and leaves room for a sexy vaal gem
One 4L for auras
Staff maybe not even 5-6L, you could use a 4L single target and a 2L Leapslam there.

Or a 6l with leap Slam + Heavy Strike in it, like
Heavy Strike + Leap Slam + Melee damage + faster attacks + inc crit damage + xyz
