Best support gems for Ground slam/Heavy Strike build
Say you had a 6 socket available for both, what would be the best 5 support gems for each, and in what order?
Right now I only have a 5 link and a 4 link and I can tell you what I'm using and what I'm thinking of using. 1. Ground Slam 2. Multistrike 3. Melee Physical Damage 4. Added Fire Damage 5. Mana Leech (needed) 6. ??? 1. Heavy Strike 2. Melee Physical Damage 3. Added Fire Damage 4. Faster Attacks 5. ??? 6. ??? |

here are my thoughts about the ressource cost, about Ground Slam.
Here are our options (i'm a ground slammer myself) 1. GS+ Mana leech + 3 Other DPS Gems. Allows you to run 1 Aura 2. Blood magic talentnode GS + 4 DPS Gems. No aura 3. Gear up some % manaleech allows you to skip Mana leech GS + 4 DPS Gems. Allows you to run 1 Aura 4. GS + BloodMagicGem + 3 DPS Gems. Allows you to run 2 Auras I'm really interested in the matter, since there's is this friend of mine running the option 1, that i found extremely bad in comparision with the others. I did not include any lifeleech gem or anything, as i got a 5% lifeleech 2H Mace, and a carnage heart amulet 10% lifeleech. But that doesn't matter, we all need leech, whatever option you decide to go for. I'm currently running the 4th option. You've 0 mana issues regarding your main attacks (since you use blood magic gem), and you can run Hatred+ Haste/Grace or i don't know :o There are several builds out there running the third option. This might looks fabulous in term of dps, but these guys seems to lack of mana very often.. It would be awesome if we could have some more advice from more experienced players |

For GS, I prefer:
1. Melee phys 2. Added fire 3. Faster attack 4. Multistrike 5. Elective For elective: If you are 2h and use charges, endurance on stun, if u do enough dps If you want mad dps, conc effect (you'll have mana issues) Blood magic (run twin auras) Melee of full life may also work Skip the leech. Use leech on items and blood drinker |
