I understand they can one shot conquerors if you do three slams, three backflips and clack your heels two times before.

1. Its called prep and its very viable strategy, 2. Relevant bosses talk and have phases anyway, 3. You are really trying to not like those skills, arent you?

Time sensitive 4-5 steps? Count me out bruh, I respect the damage but CBA to countdown while warcrying. Actually I try to like slam skills and maybe in a decent league I would sink time into leveling a burly bonker.

Did you consider that it may just not be your style? Down playing something just because its not your cup of tea is kinda childish. There just is something more satisfying to do huge burst of dmg instead of holding RMB whole map. It is more engaging for sure and thats one of the pros not cons like you try to make it. Not everyone wants to feel like a bot you know?

I think damage is alright i see the problem in defense paired with a slower slam playstyle in endgame content. Actually monsters get the chance to hit the player for probably the first time after beta releaae because its not a "10 aps kill faster than monster action speed build".

Just today i saw a video of someone one-shoting the last phase Sirus A8 with 1 EQ Aftershock (75% to 0%). Didnt see his gear, but seemed pretty gud.

Pretty sure its from my YT channel (Billy TheFrame).

As i said damage is rewarding but survivability is the problem.

Since you have such overkill dmg maybe you should consider droping some? Hit and run is also nice defense if you ask me.

Oh i did exactly this. The video is an older one where i experimented with the new stuff. I roughly dropped 65% damage afterwards and now im at 8 Endurance Charges, plus permanent Uptime of enduring cry buff that is additionaly supported by 30% buff effect paired with overleech and partly instant leech together with 7k life and some amount of fortify effect (with fortify obviously) and Berserk to top it off.

But the surviability isnt enough in endgame content if you are hitting slow and leave room for lots of hits from monsters.

Have you tried different clear skill? Like sunder and gem swap? Moving with the wave should be better then jumping into mobs.

Actually im using Earthshatter now it turned out to be the best slam skill. You might check one of my later videos for a performance benchmark.

Nevertheless in endgame survivability is still not enough. And by endgame i mean 100% delirious t16-19. I could link you a plethora of builds where the whole build costs half of my 2hand weapon while cruising through the content making melee builds look like a piece of shit. But this extended topic of balance would probably fit better in another thread.
