Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths:
One-button, screen-clearing gameplay - massive AoE from Path of Exile 2 Currency warcries.
Passive and automatic damage through Corrupted Blood.
Exploding corpses prevent corpse-based mechanics.
High durability thanks to huge Strength scaling and Endurance Charges.
Cheap to get started - only a few key uniques required.
Works with or without Hateforge (but shines with it).
Weaknesses:
Slow movement speed - the "Warrior life."
Heavy visual lag with 14+ totems active.
Extremely loud due to constant warcries.
Requires manual weapon swap setup for optimal efficiency.
Gear and Stat Priorities
For gearing, your main goals are Strength, Resistances, and Life. Secondary stats like movement speed and armor add quality of life and survivability.
Priority List:
1. +Strength on every possible slot.
2. Maximum Life on armor, boots, and rings.
3. Elemental Resistance capped at 75% (Chaos ideally 65-75%).
4. Movement Speed on boots (at least 20%).
5. Armor and Block Chance scaling for defense.
Key Uniques Setup:
Hateforge - Enables back-to-back totem summoning with Rage synergy.
From Nothing + Avatar of Fire - Mandatory for accessing Roaring Cries.
Constricting Command - Reduces the surrounding enemy requirement for warcries.
Guatelitzi's Soul Core of Endurance (x2) - Generates Endurance Charges efficiently.
Fortified Location - Ideal amulet anointment for tankiness.
Optional gear like Astramentis or cheap POE 2 Exalted Orbs can provide rarity boosts for farming while maintaining the necessary Strength threshold.
