Heavy Strike + Stun + Weapon Elemental Damage + Melee Physical Damage + Faster Attacks/Added Fire

Enduring Cry + Vulnerability + Warlord's Mark + Increased Area of Effect

Blood Rage + Phase Run + Increased Duration

Reduced Mana Cost + Grace + Determination


Equipment:

Here's my gear to give you a good indicator of what you need:


Stats you are looking for:
High % IPD 2H mace, I've seen maces with 214% IPD.
Armor == Evasion ( untill 60-65% Armor Reduction! )
As much life leech as possible
IAS / Physical Damage Rings
Attack Speed Gloves
High HP + MF Belt

Magic Find / Physical Damage are always nice to have!

Carnage Heart:

Really great item for this build!
The -25% Maximum HP is BASE hp, base hp at 70 is about 800 so -200 HP for 10% LIFELEECH!. Also gives nice Resists and All Stats ofc :D Hope extra gore comes soon! SPLATTER SPLATTER!

Flasks:

1 of each Resistance Flask
1-2x Mana Flask ( any )
3-4 Diamond Flasks ( Optional, drop resolute technique )

Use Diamond Flask when in trouble or to oneshot bosses with phase run + flask + heavy strike.

Damage:




This is without Phase Run and Melee Damage on Full Health! Add Haste + Anger + Wrath for MAX DPS

Survivability:



81% All Resistances
90% Damage Reduction from Armour
6-15% Life Leech

90% Armor Reduction:

* 30% Armor Reduction from 6 Endurance Charges so we need enough Armour to get 60% Damage Reduction
* Shitload of Armour from Gear
* 1200 Armour from Grace ( Iron Reflexes )
* x% bonus from Armour passives
* 20% Armour from Determination

81% All Resists:

* 21% All Resists from Resistance Passives
* 32% All Resists from Bandit Quests
* 30% All Resists from Endurance Charges
82% All Resists Total!

I also get 13% All Resists from the Unique Amulet so I removed the 6% Passive Node ;)

Life Leech:

* 2% Life Leech from Passive
* 4% Life Leech from Blood Rage
* 5-10% Life Leech from Amulet

Stunning:

This is the main reason I went for a 2H Mace!

* % Stun Chance = 200 * Damage / ( Enemy Max Health - Stun Threshold % )
* Stun duration is 350ms (0.35s), this build increases it about 1.1s because of passives and items.

Right now with ground slam I oneshot white named monsters so stun won't matter. Blue named monsters take 2-3 hits, and are ofcourse stunlocked so can't do anything. Yellow named mobs take about 5-6 hits and are also stunlocked so also deal no damage.

There are enemies immune to stun, and enemies with an insane amount of hp that you can't stun ( Oak, Vaal and Gneiss for example )
