Gressoul's Notes

I wanted to showcase the strength of Rolling Slam with Reverberate and Tremors. Heavy stun bosses and kill them quickly even at difficulty 5. Playing as a Smith of Kitava but this build could easily work on Titan as well.

Using Rolling Slam, Reverberate, and Tremors we can get a huge multiplier on our base hit with up to 8 aftershocks. (1 from tree, 6 from tremors, 1 from seismic cry for 8 possible aftershocks).

You can get a lot of stun build up on your tree and gear. Rolling Slam's first hit causes 50% more stun build up. Seismic Cry with Dazing Cry support gives you another 50% increased stun build up on bosses.

Currently running Smith of Kitava for defenses but you could easily run this on a Titan for a massive increase in damage when the bosses are stunned. It'll just be harder to figure out where your strength and defenses are coming from.

Added a link to the damage charts from my last video here. If you want to mess around with the data just click File and then Make a copy. Included Red & Green Damage And Mana Cost Per Level. This is up to date as of 4/26/2025 (Poe2 0.2).
