[TITAN] Gauntlet's Earthshatter Totem & Jagged Ground Stampede

Tala moana, exiles
Do you want to run POE2 at a cinematic 24fps? Do you want to stress GGGs servers as each exploded jagged ground and earthshatter compounds with the last, giving you 500ms delay?
Do you enjoy visual overload, screenshake, and a desire to explode everything with a never ending stream of poprocks?
This may be the meme build for you.

This is a build in progress. I just wanted to share some interesting totem mechanics.

This build does not deal the bulk of its damage from totems. Despite it being a totem build, the totems lay the ground full of jagged ground. Each totem is supported by earthshatter with upheaval and jagged ground with magnified effect. That's all you need to get started.

Since the totems are utility in this build, the weapon swap setup is a 1h + no offhand w/ Dance with Death, stacking skill speed, totem attack speed, and skill effect duration. This is done because the totems keep the passives of the weapon set that spawned them even after weapon swapping, so your 2h weapon set can spec out of totems, skill effect duration, attack speed, and go heavily into damage.

Each totem attacks about once per second, laying down three jagged grounds if the support gem procs (~50%). This is only rolled once per earthshatter, so you either hit 3 jagged grounds or 0. With three totems, there is usually enough jagged ground for serious damage. Set down some of your own earthshatters in addition to this with font of rage to start generating rage during boss intro. Shout w/ infernal cry linked with enraged warcry (consume 10 rage for +30% more damage) to explode the earthshatter spires, instantly stunning the boss. Since we are a titan, we spec into crushing impacts, surprising strength, and hulking form.

At this time swap to your two-hand weapon (get the highest average hit, we don't care about attack speed), and perform stampede. The stampede will trigger all jagged ground created by your totems during this time, and they will erupt in sequence. While the sequence is going, your totems will keep spawning jagged ground, which will continue the explosive chain for a little bit.

Weapon swap is not required for clearing trash, and I recommend swapping earthshatter with sunder for general clearing.

I will update the build with new videos as I reach pinnacle content. I am a father who games late at night and tools around with off-meta garbage.

Thanks for reading!
