- Hey what's up guys, I'm going to breakdown some different mechanics I've tested in Path of Exile 2 since a lot of the information and questions we have are not answered yet. I've tested Shattering Blows with +100% increased Armor Break from the passive tree, Rage Generation, Shield Wall, Armor Explosion, and have some various other Titan build tips.
Thank you for testing this!
great tips on Armour break & boosting the ancestral slam with earthquake!
💪🏻
ty i was trying to figure this out for a while, now i can zug zug shield slam
np man
nice i was theory crafting all day if that could work, ty for the info
Question is answered at 1:57
Thanks for the infos great vid I was looking for these questions as well.
One more question I would have so the only way to break armor is either with armor break skill or heavy stun? Thanks
There is resonating shield as well, at the moment I think those are the only ways to break armor. I think there is a support gem that causes a % of the damage to break armor but can't remember for sure.
Im using resonating shield as level 21 and breaking like 10.000 armour to all enemies in range with splinter, demolisher and for damage with armour explosion, of course i have some increased armour breaking nodes
I haven’t tried resonating shield since I’m heavy stunningly and breaking 100% armor so easily.
@@The_D_Cast The blocking all hits is also good
Better double check the armor break on big bosses if that's your only armor break node. That node breaks white and blue mobs because they get a 3x and 2x armor break multiplier respectively. Elites and bosses should just be 1x and I definitely had to add 100% increased armor break along with that node to break big bosses, otherwise they still had 3k armor or something after the stun. That's probably why you're not getting the armor explosion on bosses. If you stun them and don't fully break the armor, there'll be an icon below their health bar with a big number in it representing their remaining armor.
Also, I think there might be a bug or rounding error with the increased armor break. I couldn't get it to fully break big bosses until I got ABOVE 100% increased armor break. At exactly 100%, they sometimes still had armor after the stun so if you're not seeing bosses fully breaking, add another 20% increased armor break and try again.
I tested it, it breaks 100% on bosses as well.
Gave me some really nice ideas!
Nice!
hey not sure if im misunderstanding, but the node breaks 50% of the mobs armour. then you have 10% + 40% + 20% + 20% armour break, which is 90%. Meaning you should break 50% armour times 1.9 (90% increased armour break) which is 95% of their armour. Thats not 100% so I'm confused how you are breaking their armour? am i missing a 10% armour break from somewhere?
@@mas0ny11 I have a jewel with +11% armor break to hit the full 100% increase.
@The_D_Cast I noticed u have a node near the aoe ones in the bottom right area near the attribute star as well
@@mas0ny11 Yeah there are a couple of combo armor break and aoe nodes there.
Is it just me, or does it seem like your DPS output doesn't really change that much against an enemy with fully broken armor? I was thinking of forgetting about it as a mechanic and just going pure damage nodes.
Yeah I’ve been questioning that as well cuz it would save me quite a few points.
@@The_D_Castthere are nods that give you increased damage to enemies with broken armor
Hey man, if it's possible can you share your build? I need both passive tree and skill gems. Thank you!
Is there a POB for PoE 2 yet? I’ll make a build update video tonight as well just finished the 3rd Ascendancy last night.
Will this work with Leap Slam? I am trying to use leap slam and I can heavy stun on a single leap but it does not break the armor. Any ideas why this doesn't trigger the armor break with leap slam?
If you look at the tool tip for leap slam it specifically states it’s unable to break armor I believe since it consumed broken armor to do more stun.
@@The_D_Cast Gotcha, thank you for the quick reply. Back to the drawing board lol
Noob question.. how do you have so many ancestral boosted skills?
One of the Titan Ascendancy Nodes boosts every other slam.
With rage, I don't think you need to care about the rage generation per 0.5 seconds thing. I see that in the rage wiki page for POE 1, but not for POE2. Regardless, with 3 rage on hit nodes, I'm generating 9 rage with a single stampede assuming I'm running through enemies. Rage is one of the few "more" damage multipliers you can get in the passive tree.
It says it on the tool tip in poe2 when you hover over the in game description. You’ll also notice it when being hit by multiple enemies the rage does not fill up quickly.
@@The_D_Cast That may be, but still if you take the nodes that slow down the rage shrink, you’ll quickly ramp up to max rage and stay there for a prolonged fight like a breach. If you also grab the max rage modes down toward the bottom of the tree, that’s a 48% damage multiplier for hard fights which is when you need it.
read the armor break tooltip you don't need 100% ... Just the 50% node is enough
@@philippevigneau8755 You need to increase the 50% by 100% for it to become 100%.
Can you explain what you mean?
@@philippevigneau8755 I want to make sure we’re saying the same thing. The node breaks 50% armor on heavy stun, 50% increased on top of that would only be 75%. 100% increase of 50% or 50% x 2 = 1 or 100% armor break on heavy stun. Are you saying it functions differently?
@@The_D_Castyo I’m tryna figure out this build so how much armour break on top of the %50 percent node do I need to break there armour every time I heavy stun them.
@ well I’m breaking armor 100% of the time on heavy stun. The notable says “break 50% of armor on heavy stun” so if you double 50% that is 100%. I’ll test it again tonight with less than 100% increased armor break and see what happens.
