The PoB and notes will be updated, be sure to grab newer versions before league start
Will have a mapping lootfilter available before launch

== Grafts ==
Will update Grafts after the patch-day datamine

==================================
********************* SLAMS ********************
==================================
These Slams all have different mechanics and damage patterns
Bleed damage should be very similar for all of them
All of these are viable!

== Ground Slam of Earthshaking ==
Transfigured Slam with a wide frontal cone slam with huge AoE and a higher chance to stun
The bread and butter for mapping!

	Vaal Ground Slam
		Huge Omni-directional AoE slam that's near-spammable. This skill feels great
		4 charges, 15 souls per use, 1 second soul gain prevention
		Cannot be empowered by Fist of War or Rallying Cry
		It CAN be exerted unlike every other Vaal Slam

For mapping, it's best to alternate between these skills between packs
Getting Vaal Ground Slam of Earthshaking on leaguestart may be rough, staying Sunder for awhile may be a good route

== Sunder ==
Slam with a long narrow cone
Most enemies hit by Sunder send out shockwaves when they get hit, so this skill destroys tightly clumped groups of enemies
Sunder shockwaves can aggravate bleeds, and trigger the 20% Cull from Slayer
Only one Sunder can be activate at a time (though all Sunders get at least 2 waves)

Great option if you're regularly running narrow maps, or need some extra range for a particular boss

== Earthquake ==
Slam with two parts: a smaller initial AoE, and a big Aftershock afterwards that does much more damage
Earthquake cannot be "spammed" as a crack must erupt before another one can be crated
Always link Earthquake with Less Duration
A downside of Earthquake is fewer life leech instances which hurts Slayer
Don't take the "Ailment Duration & Skill Effect Duration" mastery if you use Earthquake
Great option if you prefer an omnidirectional ability

==================================
********************** MISC *********************
==================================

== Uniques ==
Ryslatha's Coil - this is huge damage, and is the only unique that's required later on
	The most important roll is a high "more Maximum Attack Damage"
	Quality it with Abrasive Catalysts (Attack)
Writhing Jar - alternative to a life flask, maintains your leech damage reduction and fortify when there's nothing around you to hit
	Also recovers mana which is really nice with tincture
Haemophilia - optional for giga clear pops
	Explosions can trigger Slayer's 20% cull
	Expensive Option: Vulnerability on hit corruption
Light of Meaning - Physical - Maurauder jewel socket - huge damage jewel
Redblade Banner - Offhand this eventually - Enduring Cry either in your links, or an offhand socket
Lethal Pride - an option at the outside Marauder or Slayer jewel socket. Slayer socket locks out running Iron Reflex, however
Foulborn The Red Dream New item this league, gives an absurd amount of Life
	Put it in the outside Marauder jewel socket surrounded by fire resistance tattoos (Tattoo of the Ngamahu Firewalker) instead of Light of Meaning
	Decent chance it's absurdly expensive, may not be accessible for most people
