Path of Exile 3.25 Optimizing Earth Shatter Damage with War Cries

Earth Shatter's damage potential is maximized by using war cries and auto-exertion to detonate spikes efficiently.

### The Impact of War Cries on Earth Shatter in Path of Exile
Earth Shatter has the highest damage potential among all slams in Path of Exile, with the ability to detonate spikes through either a different slam skill or a war cry. In patch 3.25, changes were made to war cries, providing significant buffs to their exertion and buff effects, ultimately enhancing their benefits for Earth Shatter. These changes include increased armor, maximum resistance, flat crit, and more damage, making war cries a crucial component in maximizing the potential of Earth Shatter.

### Changes in War Cry Mechanics in Patch 3.25
War Cry's auto-exertion now only provides the exertion bonus, requiring careful selection of manually cast war cries. The new Overexertion support gem offers a significant damage increase, potentially doubling the damage output. The build strategy focuses on maximizing the uptime of spike pops and reducing the cooldown of war cries, achieving a total cooldown of just 3.1 seconds.

### Maximizing War Cry Efficiency for Spike Pops
Adjusting the quality amounts of war cries can create staggered cooldowns, leading to more frequent Spike pops during combat. Alternatively, using General's Cry with a much lower base cooldown provides a simpler solution for exerting Earth Shatter. Both methods have been tested and proven effective for maximizing Spike pops in the Earth Shatter build.

### Guide to War Cry Setup for Gaming Build
The guide offers two endgame setups for the build, focusing on either tankiness or damage. It also provides a specific war cry setup, with some war cries set to auto-exert and only rallying cry set for manual cast to maximize damage. The choice of rallying cry for manual cast is explained by its potent buff effect, which increases damage based on the number and strength of nearby enemies. This setup may reserve more Mana but offers a tradeoff for a higher quality of light, and the use of battle mes cry is justified by its interaction with overexertion support and Resolute Technique.

### Optimizing Juggernaut's Skills and Gear in Path of Exile
The build focuses on using Infernal Cry with Brutality support for maximum damage. It also utilizes Pulverize, Fist of War, and other skills for AOE and raw damage. The Juggernaut's power lies in its endurance charges, providing significant physical and elemental damage reduction, with 100% uptime due to a passive node. Prioritizing high armor roll on the body and including life regen and leech are essential for the build's success.

### Path of Exile Earth Shatter Build Guide
This guide focuses on the Earth Shatter key ability and recommends starting to use it around level 75 in the middle of white Maps for the best experience. It also provides two endgame upgrade builds for increasing tankiness and damage, with one being a high investment setup. The build's damage in the Path of Building is influenced by the Earth Shatter impact and overlapping spikes, with the potential for up to 18 spikes on the ground simultaneously.
