GrilledFocaccia's Notes
Last league, I was bored and decided to create a PoB setup for an Endurance Charge-stacking Juggernaut. While exploring scaling options, I came across Vigilant Strike, a skill with an absurd 746% base damage effectiveness (0.85 base attack speed) and an additional 4% more damage per Endurance Charge at 20% quality.
Since it's a low APS strike skill, it can utilize Battlemage’s Cry and Hydrosphere, allowing each attack to hit twice. Factoring everything in, Vigilant Strike reaches 1927% damage effectiveness per second, with even more scaling potential through gear.
I played the build and found that while it was extremely strong, it had some flaws that needed to be addressed. When Phrecia introduced Ancestral Commander, I considered revisiting it, but Jung’s GC Tectonic Slam build had made Endurance Charge-stacking expensive, so I decided to wait.
I finally put the build together last week, and it’s probably the best off-meta build I’ve made so far. Currently sitting at 800M DPS with solid tankiness (though chaos resistance still needs work).
Core Items:
- Echoes of Creation – 75% more damage, Endurance Charge generation
- Ashes of the Stars – 75% more damage
- Sublime Vision (Hatred) – Brittle
- Tides of Time – Permanent flasks with chest implicit
- War Bringer Forbidden Jewels – Permanent uptime on warcries
- Ralakesh’s Impatience – Charges
- Nasima Brutal Restraint – More crit
- Rosethorn or Prismatic Tincture
- Jung’s Mace
