Tectonic Slam Build

This classic Path of Exile skill has been reworked and received impressive new visual effects.

Historically, it was difficult to reliably maintain the Endurance Charges that enhance this skill, making it difficult to use as a primary source of damage. It still requires you to invest in endurance charges but now only removes a charge every three uses, making the charges easier to maintain.

Tectonic Slam's area of effect now increases per endurance charge, resulting in a wider spread of damage.

These changes make it a much more effective melee skill and encourage investment into Area of Effect and Endurance Charge generation.

Tectonic Slam Support Gem: Fist of War Support

Fist of War Support: Every few seconds an ancestor appears above your character and performs your slam in unison with you, creating a supercharged slam dealing much more damage with an increased Area of Effect.

Skill functions and interactions

Endurance charge consumption effect: When you have a number of Endurance charges greater than your minimum endurance charges, every third slam will consume one. If your attack repeats, such as by using Multistrike Support, every slam counts towards the counter.

The conditional modifiers per endurance charge, i.e., fissure branching chance per Endurance Charge and more Area of Effect per Endurance Charge, affect each slam and are independent of whether or not a charge is consumed or can be consumed.

Item acquisition

Tectonic Slam can drop anywhere. Drop level: 28.
