Overview
This build brings Sunder to the Titan ascendancy, pairing a screen-covering slam for clear with Earth Shatter as a single-target deleter. Sunder already covers almost half the screen, and with every second slam ancestrally boosted for more damage and area, the build chews through 200% delirious maps without strain on either damage or survivability. Compared to the Warbringer version, the creator notes Titan trades a little speed and tankiness for noticeably more damage and AoE, and recommends it as the personal favorite.
Defensively it combines block and armour: a Surrounded mechanic from the Constricting Command and supporting passives pushes block chance up while surrounded, and a Churnbook shield converts roughly 1% extra fire damage per 1% block — close to 50% extra fire, nearly matching a permanent Infernal Cry. The result is a character dealing as much fire as physical damage while sitting near 50,000 EHP even on imperfect gear.
The Surrounded keystone interaction is the engine: with the right Constricting Command threshold the build is treated as surrounded almost permanently — even on bosses with a single add — granting large attack speed, attack damage, movement, block, and ailment-threshold bonuses from otherwise small passive nodes.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Sunder covers nearly half the screen for fast pack clear
- Earth Shatter provides busted single-target to delete bosses
- Block-plus-armour layering with ~50,000 EHP handles 200% delirious maps
- Churnbook shield converts block into large fire damage, nearly doubling damage type
- Defy support plus the Surrounded mechanic enables zero-mana casting
Cons
- Relies on a specific unique mace (Sennis Mercy) for the best version
- Surrounded threshold tuning (Constricting Command number) is a setup gotcha
- Titan is slightly slower and less tanky than the Warbringer alternative
- Mana sustain depends on the surrounded mechanic being maintained
Key Skills
- Sunder — primary clear skill, every second slam ancestrally boosted for damage and AoE
- Earth Shatter — single-target nuke that deletes bosses
- Ancestral Cry / Infernal Cry — war cries driving the damage multipliers
- War Banner — extra attack speed and damage
- Harbinger of Darkness (from Sennis Mercy) — physical skill used to break armour and amplify Sunder
Gear & Anointments
The best-in-slot weapon is the Sennis Mercy unique mace, valued for high crit chance and attack speed and its Harbinger of Darkness skill, which breaks armour (a 20% more physical-damage debuff for Sunder) and generates endurance charges to extend Ancestral Cry. A Churnbook shield converts block into fire damage. The creator estimates the build is doable around 50 Divines and links a full Path of Building on their Mobalytics profile — confirm exact gear and links there.
Endgame Notes
The showcase runs 200% delirious maps with no trouble, leaning on the block-plus-armour defense and the near-permanent Surrounded buffs. Hits are also made lucky via the Defy support, rolling damage twice and taking the better result for a strong average damage increase.
