Hello everyone,

I just completed 40/40 with Bloodsoaked Banner Champion and it turned out to be the best and most comfortable all rounder I ever played so I just kept pouring currency into it, without any desire to roll another build.

Budget: wasn't expensive but now expensive, you need to craft most of your gear (I bought gloves and boots), estimated 300-500 divines.

PoB: https://pobb.in/LdzMEXVeglpz

Config: 11 stormblast mines(but was optimized to have 8% dmg taken per mine, max 18 mines), no EHP gain on hit and no molten shell (whole reason I went into full armour)

I swap Flesh and Stone for Herald of Purity and Gloom/Massive for Accel when bossing

Possible upgrades: the 3 rings are improvable to fill more fire res for armour and better life rolls

I do not have any progression PoB for this showcase, please follow Steelmage's PoB as a baseline, but everything is fairly simple to understand without any complicated tech involved, please just read PoB.

I will answer questions.

Pros and Cons of the build:

Pros:

- 1.5 Screen explode

- Only presses buttons occasionally

- Tanky as needed for all content

- Can do most map mods (avoid less aura, block and regen for personal enjoyment)

- 500% Movement Speed when pairs with Acceleration belt, 220% without.

Cons:

- Ramping damage

- Low damage ceiling due to being a DoT

- Be mindful to always have block banner buff (Secondary reason why I went full armour, so Molten Shell can save me a few seconds to activate this banner in case I forgot)

- Not the "strongest" version of the build, I believe this Howlcrack version is better overall, I just hate having to press warcry so mine was optimised for my comfort and general content (Howlcrack version made by Butsicles: https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/1s0kva3/comment/obtw6me/)
