Tectonic Slam was released just when i finished my updated Earthquake build in May 2018 https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2149501.
When it was released it was not impressive at all and since that day i've been just watching things and hoping for the best.
They day has come in 3.5 and obviously it was THE TIME to bring yet another skill to life!

How does it work, in general?
You basically Leap across everything with 10 Endurance Charges and SLAM your way forward to the end game.

Tectonic Slam is a Fire melee AOE Attack skill that has a 35% chance to consume Endurance Charge in order to deal 60% more damage with a Charged SLAM.

Why crit? Because DAMAGE, guys. Who cares if you are thicc but hit like a wet noodle and fight shaper for 20 minutes. Going crit solves the problem!
It's not as easy as going Elemental Overload of Resolute Technique, but the DPS greatly outweights everything. Oh.. and we are still THICC and not W E A K K.
======================================================================================
1) PROS

Spoiler

+safe across most content.
+6000 HP with 1k Leech and 1k (18%) Life Regen
+stupidly tanky against phys damage with 60000 Armour (Mathil's build has 23k)
+fantastic AOE
+insane Uber Lab farmer, AFK Izaro fights
+great bosskiller too, because *wink* CRIT and over 2+ Million Shaper DPS.

======================================================================================
2) CONS

Spoiler

-Weak to Elemental damage outside of Endurance Charges
-Hard to Balance Resists
-Getting to 10 Endurance Charges is expensive (2x Kaom's Way, +1 Kaom's Roots)

You can drop Herald of Purity for Purity of Ice and Wise Oak for Taste of Hate.

Shaper and some higher level map bosses take forever to kill because I run out of endurance charges. How can I sustain charges better?

Is Endurance charge in stun linked with Tecto Slam any good for mapping or is it irrelevant?
Also, does this build works if I just swap Tecto Slam for Molten Strike (just for bossfights, not for mapping/delving)? Or would I need to tweak the passives a little bit?
