Build Overview

Slam-and-shatter warcry warrior that drops Earthshatter spikes then detonates them with warcry exertions. Berserker rage mechanics amplify both attack speed and raw physical damage for enormous spike detonations.

Key Requirements
*
Earthshatter - Build-defining slam - creates ground spikes that must be detonated by warcries for full damage
*
Redblade Banner - Warcries always exert at maximum power - guarantees full spike detonations even on single-target bosses
*
Seismic Cry - Primary warcry for detonating spikes - exerted attacks deal massively amplified damage
*
Resolute Technique - Never miss - slam attacks always hit, trading crit for reliable damage which suits warcry-exerted big hits
*
Divine Shield - Converts armour into ES recovery on hit taken - layers ES on top of life for hybrid sustain
*
Eternal Youth - Life recharge applies to ES instead - synergises with Divine Shield ES pool for continuous recovery
*
Unwavering Stance - Cannot be stunned - prevents interruption during Earthshatter slam wind-up animation
Synergy Groups
Redblade Banner+Echoes of Creation

Redblade Banner guarantees max-power warcries regardless of nearby enemies. Echoes of Creation amplifies warcry buff effect, directly multiplying Seismic Cry and Intimidating Cry exertions that detonate spikes.
