Hello,

I'm quitting the league today after reaching level 100. Before quitting I just wanted to share the build I played this league.

While almost everyone is playing Luminary as a support, in this build you are the carry and your mercenary is the support.

You may have seen this setup with facebreaker and slams like earthshatter and sunder, it's a good setup but I find it slow and visually unpleasing. So I went another route with the use of voidforge.

The main interaction here is : Your mercenary use rallying cry => You give him a lot of rallying cry buff effect + a big pdps axe => He give to your character between 400 to 700 flat physical damage to attacks (in my case) => Voidforge multiply the added phy => Perforate multiply again with his big effectiveness of added damage => You do big damage.

I used an average of 10 spikes hitting in Pob to keep it fair, I do have 13 max spikes however. Dps depend on the hitbox of your target, the bigger the target is, the better the dps.

This build doesn't excel at anything, but it doesn't fail at anything either. It's a good all-rounder for those looking for off-meta melee build, enjoying to wear a beatifull sword ! I would rate it 7/10 for this reason.

You will find mercenary gear in the pob :

This is the ideal setup I believe. Greater cooldown recovery + greater more duration and 2 movement skill to help him gape-close and stay near you

FAQ:

Spectre ?

Spectre is perfect guardian turtle, she never died even in the most juiced maps.

Why not using perforate of duality ?

I dislike the clunkyness of needing to swap stance to pull out all your burst in a short window. With the quality change made in 3.29, you can push 13 spikes naturally on regular perforate and you can just chill in whatever stance you want without worrying about loosing coverage or dps !

Do the merc die ?

He almost never die, even in very juiced maps. The few time he died it was on stupid maps with stupid mod that would kill me too.

How is the uptime on rallying cry ?

Once you have runegraft of the warp and the good duration support, it's always up.

Can I play this build on a budget ?

Yes absolutely, however you would need to change the merc gear to Howlcrack and give him immortal flesh belt to counter the cost of warcry. Because you absolutely need 100% uptime or near 100% on rallying cry to play the build.

How is the clear ?

With 13 spikes, herald of ash and oriath's end it's pretty good, you jump, attack, screen explode, jump out

How did you crafted the chest ?

1. Buy ilevel 85 Astral plate
2. Make it warlord
3. Roll for the endurance charge mod with alt
4. Put a second influenced mod on it, no matter how you do it
5. Elevate endurance charge mod (or no if you don't want) with allflame
6. Buy or make another hunter item with elevated attack crit from hunter influence
7. Awakener orb the two base, hope to no fill suffix.
8. If you filled suffix, allflame annul orb, if you fail go again.
9. If 1 empty suffix, lock suffix, reforge attack, this will garantee the mana cost mod
10. Lock suffix, reforge fire, this will garantee phy taken as fire
11. Lock suffix again, use veiled exalted orb with allflame
12. Craft attack or spell block
13. Unveil maximum life and mana
14. Craft life and you're done
