[2.6] Earthquake Duelist – Guardian & Shaper killer (Slayer)

Devoto’s Devotion is great helm for the build – it has increased attack speed, decent armor and evasion and increased movement speed.

Very nice chest that gives us free damage in form of poison, additional curse and ability to affect Hexproof monsters with your curses. This armour can be expensive though and if you cannot afford it, good alternatives are:

1.)Lightning Coil

2.)Rare chest armor with high life and resistances

3.)Belly of The Beast

For glove base choose Spiked gloves for Increased Melee Damage implicit.

Affix-wise look for life, some resistances. Attack speed is a nice bonus.

If you can afford it, buy white Spiked Gloves and try you hand at Essence of insanity craft – more attack and cast speed is huge bonus to Leap Slam.

For your boots choose Atziri’s Step with +1 to level of socketed gems corruption, they should be pretty affordable after first week or two in new league.

Another alternative would be Armour / Evasion boots with at least 25% increased movement speed, life and ideally some resistances as well but that can get pricey.

Look for Two-stone or other resistance ring with high life and resistances. Weapon Elemental damage or increased attack speed are nice bonuses.

Look for Unset ring with high life and resistances. Weapon Elemental damage or increased attack speed are nice bonuses.

Look for Turquiose amulet or Lapis amulet bases – we need intelligence for some gem requirements.

For stats look combination of intelligence, all attributes and life. Any resistance is a good bonus.

Look for belt with +1 to maximum endurance charge corruption – if you can get it, base doesn’t matter.

Life coupled with decent resistances affix-wise is what we want. Flask recovery is a nice bonus.

Our ultimate goal is getting Atziri’s Disfavour for our weapon.

Good alternatives are Kaom’s Primacy or Hezmana’s Bloodlust.

Flask setup for the build:

1.) Divine flask with instant recovery for emergency ideally coupled with shock removal.

2.) Lion’s Roar for more damage and knockback.

3.) The Writhing Jar for overkill leech and more survivability.

4.) Ruby Flask with curse removal.

5.) Sapphire / Topaz flask with chill and freeze removal.

For jewels we want following stats:

1.) Increased maximum life

2.) Increased attack speed

3.) Increased area damage

4.) Increased physical damage

5.) Some intelligence or dexterity if you are lacking
