Rolling Slam, Boneshatter | Giant's Blood as Early as Act 3

Rolling Slam doesn't need to just be used to prime enemies for stun. It can also kill bosses! This build expands on the popular Rolling Slam, Boneshatter combo that excels in Act 1 and let's you continue to use Rolling Slam for boss killing in Act 2-4.

REMINDER REMINDER REMINDER: Make sure you're saving Normal Body Armour bases towards the end of Act 2 and beginning of Act 3. If you forget to do this you won't be able to take advantage of your ascendancy points from Act 3 (Ultimatum) until you do.

Act 1 Wave Clear: Focus on using your first hit of Rolling Slam to prime enemies for stun and then interrupt it with Boneshatter to instantly clear waves of enemies.

Act 2-4 Wave Clear: Same as Act 1 but you can swap to Leap Slam whenever you get it. Support it with Brink 1 so that it can't stun and then just Leap Slam -> Boneshatter most packs.

Act 1-3 Single Target: Mace Strike to build rage and stun buildup. Then when the boss is Primed for Stun, Infernal Cry -> Boneshatter (stuns) -> Rolling Slam. You can use Rolling Slam whenever you want if you're getting hit/interrupted while Mace Striking.

Act 4 Single Target: Now that you've got access to Seismic Cry you're able to do the full combo. This can be done with either Rolling Slam or Hammer of the Gods. Mace Strike or Rolling Slam to build rage and stun buildup. Then when the boss is Primed for Stun, Infernal Cry -> Seismic Cry (stuns) -> Hammer of the Gods / Rolling Slam. The warcries in this order give you the most uptime possible on a heavy stunned boss and will carry you all the way into end game.

Supporting Boneshatter with Armour Break allows you to keep up Scavenged Plating stacks while going through zones. I haven't found a better way to proc this automatically outside of Wind Dancer + Armour Break but that requires extra spirit as well as higher dex. Supporting either with Leech also makes it incredible for regen after getting chunked during your leap slams.

Only take as much Strength on the passive tree as you need. It's an alright stat for the life but since we're going Giant's Blood early it's not as big of a priority.
