Is there a viable build revolving around GOTTERDAMMERUNG? (5400str req 2h-axe)

I think there might be a paly skill that turns STR into HP?

Holy paladin as access to 25% STR converted to VIT so maybe maybe a Holy Melee Paladin could use it without too much gimping?
Also Barbarian maxing Mountain King?

A Holy Melee Paladin stacking Flat Damage and using Divine Judgement multiplicative wombo yolo kappa combo could be quite funny!!
Facebreaker (gloves) give 1% attack speed per 20 strength.
Candlewake (body) add 32/256 damage bonus per strength and give a 10%-25% bonus strength
And if needed Paladin can make x2 runeword with Earth runes for more Flat Damage!

Head: Battle Rage (Runeword)
Body: Candlewake (SU)
Belt: Cinadide's Anvil (Set)
Gloves: Facebreaker (SSU)
Boots: Wind Runner (Runeword)

Also demiurge adding like 1500 to all stats?

Or if you're playing a barb just craft something like this

Pretty sure there's a barb buff or passive that gives u a huge stat boost, but I think even with that you're gonna need lots of str runes or 2% str jewels with -10% req.

Those facebreaker str = attack speed gloves sounds LULZ

Druids can use this as a Tree warden and get a % str boost from tree warden as well. They also get a Str to spell factor.

I'm level 107 on my druid with barely any charms and have only managed to hit 1400str with dedicated gear. I was aiming to use the 2700 str druid helm. This thing is nuts though.

Wouldn't matter how much ias after final breakpoint. I'm at work so I cant load up the D2 calculator to tell u exactly how much IAS u need for cap, but I'm sure it's not 250.

Also, what about a ww barb with that axe? Btw I'm not saying dont use face breakers, it definitely sounds like the way to go. I'm just saying u shouldn't need more IAS in other areas. I'm gonna see if I can look at barb skills on my phone, I'm intrigued now haha.

With facebreakers and gotterdammerung. You already have well over 300ias. (The axe has 100).

Unfortunately sold my gotterdammerung. Doesnt really seem viable as a barbarian.

If anyone has their hands on an ETH GOTTERDAMMERUNG wow.. I'll buy it and attempt it again haha

I think a treewarden druid is a better fit for the axe as someone said before. Since the main skill (forgot what it's called) can't use procs and treewarden gives massive boost to str.

Yeah, I said the tree warden would be. The green warden helm or whatever requires 2700 str. With full sigs and barely any charms, ive reached about 2600. No idea how you would reach 5400.

Most of my gear has 50-70 str and 20-30% added. That axe better be nuts.

Im actually aiming for a WW tree. Idol of scosglen gets zero cooldown with that helm. It increases run speed, defense and spams a 4k aoe. I plan on using that with the ww maul and being a beefed up aoe ww monster on speed.

With so many points into stats, the fire and lightning damage on that axe and boosted by the treewardens passives should be insane. I'm pretty sure you easily hit the -100% enemy light abd fire resists too.

I also planned on trying to snapshot the idol spell with elder law. It adds fire damage to the Idol of Scosglen aoe. If the spell snapshots with fire damage that stays for the duration of the nova, then you can switch to the ww axe and get the fire damage boost and enemy resists break.

Just to followup on that idea. The Greenwalker helm sucks. Idol doesnt snapshot the fire damage when you switch weapons BUT ww as a tree is pretty nice. Idol of Scosglen give you phys res, speed, defense and damage, plus it slows mobs.

There is no need to justify 2700 str to make it have zero cooldown though. It cooldown is low enough.

Getting the strength for gotter seems stupid. The only thing I could imaging it being used for is a mercenary.
