Gorilla Pop - The name I chose for my Impale & Bleed hybrid Champion slam build.

With Resolute Technique, you never miss. With Unwavering Stance, you never get stunned. The Impaler provides the bulk of the base damage in combination with Master of Metal and Starforge. Slam those crooked teeth straight and give your enemies a big fat smile as they bleed to death!

Enemies also explode into a cloud of dust when paired with Sublime Vision and the Pride aura. This goes well with all the generic Physical Damage scaling the build has on top of the Bleed and Impale scaling.

Ryslatha's Coil and Volatility Support, in conjunction with the Physical Mastery, add quite a high damage variance, so keep on slamming. Keep your attack rate at max ~1.5 to 1.6 APS, in order to nicely overlap your Ruthless Blows with Fist of War slams. Before entering a boss arena, you can unsocket your Leap Slam of Groundbreaking gem and slam twice. This makes the next slam a Ruthless Blow.

While it's tempting to replace Ruthless Support for something else that grants more DPS, i.e. Swift Affliction or Cruelty Support, it's important to remember that "sheet DPS" (in PoB) is not everything. Ruthless Support grants a base Stun Duration of 0.8 seconds on Ruthless Blows, and it synergizes with the Bleed Mastery's 50% chance to aggravate Bleeding with stunning attack hits. As Ruthless Blows always stun and we pick up some increased Stun Duration, our stunning hits can reach a minimum Stun Duration of ~1.4s vs the ~0.6s with a different gem. These stuns add quite the amount of survivability that shouldn't be underestimated. It's why I tend to avoid maps in which monsters cannot be stunned.

My Mercenary has a Haste aura, which is not accounted for in the PoB. With my Merc around, my attack rate is at exactly 1.6 APS. You can add more attack speed where possible, as long as you stay at or under the above defined threshold. I had to remove some myself because I was over said threshold.

For mitigation, the build uses a combination of Ward, Life Leech, max resists, ailment avoidance, Steelskin, Stun, enemy damage conversion, decent Life pool, stun immunity, defensive Pantheon, Adrenaline safeguard (so called "circuit breaker"), damage taken as, so on and so forth. Please check the PoB for details. Feel free to ask if you need help or a breakdown.

Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoy this one. Cheers!
