I did not lvl myself with this build however Bellothien is currently lvling with my suggested Skill tree here below. So I'll write down some tips Bellothien got while lvling this build. Until lvl 28 where you get EQ use groundslam. While lvling take warchief totem with you bacause the damage from that skill is almost in league with your own earthquake skill even when you don't spent a single point in totems.

I chose Juggernaut because of the great defense this build gets from it.
First go to Unflinching and Unrelenting
second go for Undeniable
last go for Unbreakable for some extra Armour if you want you can also go for Unyielding and switch the added fire gem for Fortify or use an other attack to trigger Fortify. I however didn't see a need for Fortify with the endurance charges.

Normal help Oak
Cruel Kill all
Merciless Kill all or help Oak.

Weapon 2h-mace of course but for lvling a 1h mace + shield work just as fine just need as high as you can get phys DMG on it and crit chance. The mace I'm using is up for mirroring but you can use any mace you want really! You can check my mirror thread (link at bottom of this build) I've had this mace for a long time but never had a real working build with it. The DPS was never a problem (obviously!) but surviving that was something else. Now with Ascendancy and the fact I changed out Abyssus helm for a Rat's nest I did not die once with my earthquake build yet.

Body armour belly of the Beast or Carcass Jack or any other chest will work just as fine its not needed to have Kaom's Heart like me. Kaom's however is IMO a great chest for this build!

Helmet rat's nest is a big + to build up some crit but you can wear any helm you want really. (I advise to not use Abyssus it gives nice DPS will put a dent to your survivability.)

Amulet / rings / belt try to get some nice damage amulet when it also has life on it its a big + when you can't fix your resist with belt/amulets then as third look for resist on amu but IMO amu's are always great to boost dps.

for rings its the same but also IMO rings are great to fix your resistance so prio should be resist then life/DMG.

Belt is great to fix up your resistance and life not so much for DMG.

Gloves I chose Maligaro's Virtuosity because we are playing a crit build and these gloves fit that function very well! you could also use acuity (I tested these but the instant leech doesn't add much to it) or any other set of gloves even rare gloves will do just fine

Flasks 1 life flask because we are still playing a life build and those things save lives. all 3 resistance flask because we deal a lot of elemental damage and reflect is a bitch! although I don't deal any lightning damage I still use one Topaz because ground bearers can hurt like hell to. 1 run speed flask because of clear speed.

Boots movement speed is a big + to clear a little bit faster but life and resist should take priority.

Main attack setup: Earthquake - less duration - Increased Crit chance - added fire (or Fortify whatever you prefer) - melee phys DMG as 6th gem you can use either inc. area to clear faster or use Concentrated effect support for more dmg on bosses. I switch out inc area effect for concentrated effect myself..

CwdT: Cast when dmg taken - immortal call - increased duration - poacher's mark (this curse is great to fill up flasks on big packs but you could also use assassin's mark its up to you)

Aura's:
Hatred - HoA (Herald of Ash) - enlighten if you want and can miss the mana you can use also HoI I still got 51 mana left with a lvl 3 enlighten as Earthquake only costs 19 mana that is more then plenty!

I also use blood rage with a increased duration gem and put in a Vengeance gem for some extra dmg.

other free slots are up to you. You can add a golem for some extra dmg.
