[2.2] Firequake Tank [High dps][202% increase Life][Full Phys to Fire conversion][WIP]
Firequake Tank (Full Phys to Fire conversion) WIP
What is this build about? This build uses Avatar of Fire, Physical to Lightning, Call of the Brotherhood and Pyre to convert all of your non chaos damge to Fire damage. It offers an effective use of various support gems and also gives you a high ammount of damage penetration. WIP (Work in progress) I'm very happy how this build turned out and I'll defenitly continue to level to 90+. There are still a lot of improvements to do, so I'll keep updating this buildguide. Pros/Cons:
Spoiler
Pros: High damage and AoE Very tanky 57+ Fire Penetratiion Can do most map mods Good clearspeed Cons: Expensive: It requires at least a 5 Link Marohi to work, 6 Link is highly recommended. A Call of the Brotherhood is also required. Elemental Reflect: If you play Hardcore with this build, be sure to have capped Fire Resistance all the time. A Reflect mob running into your Aftershock will most likely kill you otherwise. Elementel Reflect on a map is the only real showstopper of this build. High mobile bosses could be annoying. Skill tree, Ascendancy and Bandits

Spoiler
This is the setup with Kaoms Heart Weapon: Earthquake + Physical to Lightning + Less Duration + Fire Penetration + Weapon Elemental Damage + Melee Physical Damage Helmet: Clarity, Herald of Ash, Hatred, Enduring Cry Gloves: Cast when Damage taken + Golem (Flame, Stone, Chaos), Faster Attacks + Leap Slam Boots: Cast when Damage taken (Lvl 1) + Increased Duration + Enfeeble + Blood Rage If you use a rare Body Armor, you may place a Vaal Skill in here or you'll use an Ancestral Protector as support. Gemswaps: No regen maps: Replace Herald of Ash and Clarity with Blasphemy and Warlords Mark. Gear:
Spoiler
Reqired are: Call of the Brotherhood and Pyre, occuping both ring slots. Good uniques for this build are Marohi Erqui (High damage, possible 7-Link) and Warped Timepiece (Midigates the speed loss of Marohi, reduces Skill Effect Duration and providing increased Life Leech Rate) Priorities on Gear are Life > Armor > Resistance > Strength. 20%+ Movement speed on boots is highly recommended. My gear:
Spoiler
Endgame Viability:
Spoiler
This build is unable to run Elemental Reflect and a No Regen + Curse immune/No Leech combo. Blood Magic results in a high damage loss. I have neither done any T12+ Maps nor an Atziri Run, but I'm sure this build won't have any problmes with them. Damage Infos:
Spoiler
Earthquake's tooltip damage doesn't say much about the real damage it does. To find out the real dps on a mob with zero Fire Resistance, you have to use this formula: DPS = (d + d * a) * s * p d = Average Damage (Lowest damge + Highest Damage divided by 2). In this case: 11073 a = Aftershock multiplier: In this case: 77% (1.77) s = Attacks per second. In this case: 1,27 (Note: The attack time has to be higher than the skill duration! If the skill duration is higher you have to calculate 1 / Skill duration. This will be inaccurate because you won't have a perfect timing.) p = Fire Penetration multiplier. In this case: 55% (1.55) DPS = (11073 + 11073 * 1.77) * 1,27 * 1,55 DPS = 60378 While fighting my average damage and attack speed is higher: In this case the actual DPS are 86006 I did some 6-Link testing to look at the dps, it is about 123123 at the current state. That's it, if you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to reply! Whatever is in here, isn't as important as the random stuff above this signature!

Hello, first of all I love this build, I just picked it up last week after a couple years away from the game. Ive acquired all the gear you have listed. I'm currently working on my 20% gems. But after i finish those the only thing I left would be to acquire a 6 link marohi. Im doing about 17k dps out of combat, and with frenzy charges Im doing 25k dps. What gem would you suggest as the 6th? I was thinking about faster casting considering that the damage I do is considerably high, I feel that getting earthquake off quicker would up surviability in large packs. Since of course this is a tank build.

Hey, thank you for your feedback. I don't think you need the attackspeed gem for survivability, maybe for clearspeed or in some bossfights like Atziri. I'd recommend meele physical damage for the huge damageboost, but it depends on your playstyle.
