(All items in the build are a must-tested many variations and this item combination and stats are maxing out the dmg.)
Those of you hungry for some new SS variation. Check this out: By my calculations someone with proper gems+paragon+augments can push this one +/-2 3 GRs within the Pro-Slam.
These gloves felt like a must. I tried Frostburn but the dmg was off somehow. Most likely the secondary immobilize effect of this gauntlet may be bypassing the CC immunity issue in the game, but not sure.
I did not show the follower, but lots of blind etc. is also setup in the follower as well.
Note: It is currently at NS Leaderboards as No-Six-Piece. About 25th place. No other Slam LoD is found in the list.

I would definitely go with Squirt’s or a good Hellfire over Overwhelming Desire. Nice job on the clear!

Do you know the proc rate on Overwhelming Desire?
Depth diggers do nothing. there are 3 other pants that do increased damage , Pox, Blackthornes, and Swamplands. I also like to cube Reapers for the extra fury regen.

Yes I dont have those pants so had to roll with depth. The items are not fully optimized yet. But a lot of AD feels good in this setup.
Squirrs did not occur to me tbh. I was just trying to add more dmg anyhow.
Also some of the procs were considered charmed as far as i remember… so i tried it.
Looks good. Nice build with a few tweaks that could be HC friendly too.
Cheers🍺

Found blackthorne pants, 112 Down. Video is below: Build is still not fully optimized without any Caldessans. The highest push I made with Pro-Slam was 121. This one feels like it can hit to 113-114. But with Caldessans and better optimized gear, it might be within 3-5 GRs from MOTE6. But this one feels more fun to play!
Still the only LoD SS build in the 1st 30 people in the leaderboards

Actually you select the charm ability of the Enchantress, which lasts 8 sec once charmed. I tested Squirt, but you keep taking damage so it is kinda useless most of the time. But if you go with a shield, Squirt might work too.
Squirts will be down most of the time. The only time it’s useful is when you hit a shield pylon.
yep, a fun build slammin’
I gotcha by 4 min.

Grats, build is solid. Some big guns could push this up some still.

Here’s video of my 122. I was a bit short on the timer at the end, but then I drew Hamelin as the RG. With a Power Pylon, I was able to get a “ratsplosion”, where he just keeps summoning more and more rats because you’re killing them before they hit the ground. The rats, the elite popping out of the pylon, and the boss all just get splattered in less than 30 seconds after the pylon grab.

Epic smashing dear math barb!

I find timing the Cold Cycle of CoE and Oculus rings accurately is causing some unexpected dps levels. Cold Cycle CoE should be spent slamming till the end. But with all the jazz, it is sometimes impossible to see oculus rings.
Since they ruined the original bloodshed,;this build needs as much AD as possible.
If paragon is allowing, one more thing to try is OP Killing Spree (instead of WC).
Why are you thinking OP ks is worth using in a slam build?
9 yd radius of damage, +8 chc for 5 sec.? Just curious…
OPKS 8% CHC is quite a decent number, any CHC is good for Slam. Also in LoD builds with Saffron Wrap, it is actually doing some damage in Lightning Cycle of CoE in density. You can see the HP bars dropping drastically when executed at the lightning cycle.
Yeah, I used to use that with the BoM setup for Pro-Slam. Or, Falter actually gives more damage, but you have to be close enough to the enemies to tag them with it.
I realized that I don’t actually have a pair of the newer Ancients Fury shoulders! The ones in my stash must be left over from long ago, as they don’t have the extra Ancients attack speed on them. That would help a lot with keeping up my Fury (and, I was not using those shoulders at all in my 122… using those would let me take CotA:TaO, for doubled toughness, which should let me drop Stone Gauntlets for Frostburns.)
