NOTE: Regretfully, this build has been retired. I kept it relevant for as long as possible with consistent updates but PoE has changed too much over time. The original video and most recent PoB will be left intact.

Build Updates:
NEW 3.13 CHANGES:
- Juggernaut was only altered slightly and Molten Strike was left unbuffed. The build remains in the same just okay spot it was last league.
OLD CHANGES:
Heist Changes: No major changes and some solid alt quality gems to look for.
- Enduring Cry will now trigger a bit slower and only grants endurance charges when enemies are nearby.
- Made slight changes to our cluster jewel setup.
Alternate Quality Gems to Look For:
- Blood and Sand: 20% increased Projectile Attack Damage while in Blood Stance, 20% increased Projectile Speed while in Sand Stance --- Spells deal 20% increased Area Damage while in Blood Stance, Spells have 10% increased Area of Effect while in Sand Stance
- Inspiration: Supported Skills have 20% increased Critical Strike Chance
- Ancestral Protector: 20% increased Buff Effect
- Leap Slam: 10% increased Attack Speed
- Molten Shell: Buff can take additional Damage equal to 5% of your Armour
Harvest Changes:
- This build was heavily impacted by the changes seen in Harvest.
- Molten Strike has been changed: Now has an added Damage effectiveness of 110% at gem level 1 (from 120%), up to 148% at gem level 20 (from 139%).
- NEW: Projectiles now have a minimum travel distance of 2 units (from 6) and a maximum travel distance of 25 (from 20) by default. Modifiers to projectile speed, as well as modifiers to area of effect, now affect the distance projectiles can travel.
- Notably Wildfire has been changed heavily. It is no longer a must have and more of an alternative way to build Molten Strike.
- Many nodes on the skill tree & in cluster jewels have been altered. This has resulted in a slight DPS loss but this has been made up for with various optimizations.
- The Dual Wielding physical damage bonus has been removed.
- Vaal Molten Shell has been nerfed heavily. This may impact the build significantly.
- Strike Skills have been given some great utility by moving Tribal Fury to the skill tree.
- Soul of Steel was nerfed heavily.
Tree Changes:
- A cluster jewel skill tree has been added. Pushes more damage into the build at the cost of some life.
- Tribal Fury has been made available on the core tree. This will improve clear speed in all situations and allows us to anoint a different notable.
- Minor optimizations and alterations.
- Call to Arms was added to the build.
Gear Changes:
- Dying Sun was added for the loss of Wildfire's projectiles.
- Wildfire has been removed.
Gem Changes:
- Swapped Elemental Focus for Combustion. Slightly higher dps overall but is best used with Cinderswallow for the extra 10% increased damage against ignited enemies.
- Added an Enduring Cry setup. I advise binding this to left click in place of move only. This will automatically trigger for huge life gain and will be used instantly with Call to Arms.
- Culling Strike has been added to our Leap Slam.
Other: Notes:
- Don't get curse immunity on the life flask, get it on the sulphur flask as I have it in the PoB.
