Hot Magma revived

With the boost to Tribes, this build will be another fun build with more oomph than it had before. Maybe a few would like to play this LoD variant.
Old youtube vid. for the basics, sub in LoD gem with a few changes and it is certainly still a fun build…

I have been looking forward to this change and the 4-cube season for this reason alone, will see how high I can push with it.

That looks fun. I might take a magma spin some day. It made me think of an old trusty quake build that served me well in gr and t16 speedfarming

Just take the usual trusty lepquake and add charge, gotta go fast!

Final 2.6.10 patch notes:
"Avalanche and Earthquake both deal 600-800% increased damage"
Now with native Ava 2400-6600 / EQ 4800-6000 % wpn dmg it’s #1 2H-MW setup that 2-3 (5-7 with GoG) times better than #2 HotA one
Very welcome, Blade of the Tribes Napalm Death !!

So what is the build looks like now?
BoM - Zodiac - Skull Grasp?
Do we cube Blade of the tribe and equip In-geom now?
How about equipping Dread Iron for extra Avalanche damge?

Someone needs to create a dedicated guide for this build.

This is a fun build. A dedicated guide is overkill, imo.
The old vid gives a starting point, swap in some of the new items and it’s still just ok for running rifts and lower grifts.
Tribes cubed works, in-geom works, Dread works. but so do several other items.
