Level 87 Tectonic Slam of Cataclysm Ancestral Commander^{3.25.alternate}

Notes

## ------- READ ME ------- 

I have included a NON-SVALIN gear section. I farmed T17s  this gear to get currency for the expensive parts of the build. The build still functions entirely with normal rings and shield.


## ------- Leveling -------

Play Sunder until you can buy Wraithlord (70c currently), and  Perfect Warlord for Endurance Charges (80c). You can use enduring cry if you want, you need the endurance charge body armour implicit anyway.
For Sunder, use Limpsplit -> Blood Reaper -> Kaom's Primacy. You can easily farm red maps like this with all 1-2 chaos gear.

## ------- Progression -------

Start by playing WITHOUT Petrified Blood and Svalin. Instead use Flesh and Stone and a regular shield with life/resists and/or minion stats.
Get rings with MINION LIFE and at least 1 with minion resist suffix (20%+). My rings are a very niche exception to this, I played without them and farmed T17s, etc. I'm not even sure my super rings are optimal tbh, but I never play trade league so I went for it.


## ------- Improvements Available -------
Yes I understand many things are not optimal - but it's 4 days into the league and I have other responsibilities that take time.

0. Obviously my jewels & wand are all trash
1. Progenesis
2. Sublime Vision: Purity of Elements (None found in league at this time.)
3. Forbidden Flame and Flesh Indomitable (None found in league)
4. Simplex/Focused Amulet with +skill gems +life

## ------- Regular Tree v. Uber Bossing Tree -------

We remove ~30% attack block and take the minion block wheel. Attack block is not too useful for most ubers, and I have evade + defiance for those where it is (Uber Eater) anyways.

The more threatening ubers (Uber Uber Elder & Maven) require more minion defense.


## ------- Petrified Blood and full life?  ------- 

I have 90/90 block and a taunting minion army to keep me safe. I rarely ever get hit while mapping or even while bossing, I also don't cast too many spells that would cost hp with petrified blood. 
Thus, I can use my +3 charge on hit life flask to keep my hp above the lowlife threshold, giving me tons of EHP.
And of course, I have defiance on my ascendacy, so any hits that do take me below low-life get a massive defensive buff.

Alternatively, if you're doing damage over time heavy content, you can easily swap for Flesh and Stone - it's just a 1 gem swap.
