[3.7] Rake's Tectonic Slam Equipment Guide - from League Start to Endgame

I can't afford a lvl 3 Enlighten for Hatred yet, so I have been using Herald of Purity and Herald of Ash instead. Is there another Herald that may work better with the build until I can afford to run an Enlighten?

Also, love the build and the build guide. Build feels really strong right now, I'm having no issues with any content currently.

if you have a ony you can rock the 5l setup he has in the leveling section and you should fly through the first half.

I played tectonic slam a bit last league and it was fast paced, but without multi-strike it just feels slow af right now. I can 2-shot mobs, but the swings are super slow and attack speed nodes don't seem to be helping.

Regarding APS - i felt similar, but just grabbed foils and now it feels amazing. jumped from ~2.6 APS to 5.05. I also will turn on blood rage for mapping for a little more speed, but unfortunately the foils arent THAT cheap (sniped a couple for < 1.5ex). But those def make tec slam feel a LOT better to me.

Felt exactly the same, loving the build using foils. How much would u spend for a foil with "hits cant be evaded" or "attacks penetrate elemental resistances" ? they are super expensive right now

1.5ex? Count me out. I have played 2 1/2 leagues now and have only made maybe 3 ex total and is half the reason I wanted to try tec slam with oni-gorishi b/c it's a cheap 6l. Currency in this game sucks.

Hey there, i got problem with my mana, its flying so fast with coils so i cant even regen that normaly >_> any ideas ?

Does the "-1 to Maximum Frenzy Charges" of the Ahn's Might
Midnight Blade" stacks? If i have two of this sword, will i have a -2 maximum frenzy charge?

Yes, that's why you use two, with a Pacifism Jewel, so your maximum Frenzy is 0, and you can benefit from both Ahn's Might bonuses

Thank you

i have a question, why you take Smashing Strikes in the tree?, thats for Staves

Hit 89 and now have some decent foils, higher attack speed makes a huge difference. I did the Razor’s build last league and I have 500 less HP but 500k more DPS. Still feels a bit slower but much better than initial leveling. My gear so far, regret using so many serrated / pristine on current chest as it is not an elder base but have an elder one I’m currently crafting. Did not take staves nodes but do have endurance charge on leap slam and also assassin's mark ring / crit Cinderswallow urn vs diamond flask for a bit more speed. Total spent is about 5ex (2ex for foil craft damage, 60c for helmet base, 55c for 6 link chest (75 chaos on fossils), 12 chaos for boots and gloves, 50 chaos on belt / amulet / rings, 40 chaos on flasks, 10 chaos on jewels). Hoping to up crit with next round of gear and hopefully foils go down in price or I can get lucky crafting. Went for mana regen on rings / amulet until I can get enlighten. Maybe a poachers / warlord mark ring as well.
