[3.0] Stunlock Berserker - stun T15 bosses without totems and expensive gear (now with video)



Hey everyone! Since 2.0 I tried to make good stunlock character who can farm easy high tier maps. And now I get it.



Pros and cons
Spoiler

Pros
Stunlock t15 bosses with enfeble or monster life;
Safe and fast clear insane map mods;
Great play in groups;
Don't need uniques except 1 alc jewel.

Cons
You can kill guards, but that not be easy;
Can't kill shaper and I don't know about Uber.


How it works?
Spoiler

Take all stun threshold nodes from passive tree. Take belt with stun threshold and redblade tramplers. Use weight of empire to double damage your heavy strike. Use stun gem on 6l - stun everything in t15 maps.


Maths
Spoiler

If you have over 130k Hit damage (heavy strike/weigh of empire etc) I have more than 110 stun that mean 89.6% stun threshold.
Initial hit is 55-90k without flasks
God chosen (Palace t15 map boss) = 2492371 life - 89.6% = 259206 life 90 000*200/259206 = 69% chance to stun. With more stun duration from ruthless and passive tree we can stunlock Dominus till death
That how it work - https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Stun


Stats
Spoiler

Offense without frenzy and berserk buffs. With this over 180k dps (without ruthless calculation)



Heavy strike without weight of the empire calculation


Defence



Gear you want
Spoiler

Meatgrinder or Piledriver for more stun duration and atck speed

Stun threshold belt

For more stuns

For heavy strike vacuum cleaner. Perfect - vaal vulnerability on hit version

DPS

More DPS

Double DPS

You can also use tidebreaker, but that not necessary




My gear in video

Last gloves for guards and stun immune maps


Best enchant

Also good option but expensive in this league


Latest gear

Have over 300k DPS under buffs with sunder atm and 6100k life


Tree and bandit


Gems
Spoiler

Warchief totem-melee phys-maim-faster attacks
Hatred-herald of ash-fire golem
Leap slam-faster attacks


Q/A

Spoiler

Why stun?
I love stunlock chars. You can also remove stun nodes from tree, use kaom's roots and take more life nodes. You will be stun every trash mobs but not bosses. That better choice for guards farm.
Why not warlord mark?
I prefer more damage. You stun t15 maps and don't real need it
Bad maps?
Reflect and warbands. That dudes have absurd life pools more that every t15 bosses. T12 shipyard leader have more that 3mill life, kaom from abyss have 2mill. WTF?

Realy like ur guide if a little small for now.
I am playing a permastunchar myself in 3.0 and u can certainly stunlock the shaper alone.
If u can do it with elemental damage im not sure about that, with brutality pure physical damage and a little bit more investment in offensiv passives it possible.

I woud like too see how far u can push this charakter with a Tidebreaker on ur elemental setup. Gonna keep an eye on this guide :)
Hi there, i'm still new to the game, but at the moment i'm running a low budget stunning sunder berserker, is it easy to transition to your build?

Thanks :)
To sad, Shaper have billions of hp, that very hard to stun him. I think, I need steel rings, doryani and 20q gems, and maybe it may be possible

Yeah he was a hard one. But like i said im certain that it is also possible on ur elemental setup instead of my pure phys.
But one quik queston i have for u: Why arent u using a promise? this coud give u a cheap dmg boost for the stunning?
Anyway like i said i keep a eye on this guide and if u want u can check out my charakter in harbinger AstriasStunMaster if u need any reference on the "quality" of rare gear required too be able too stun gaurdians somewhat easy and the shaper with some realy tight flask and skill usage.
