Sundowner Titan

Sundowner is an inexpensive shield-centric endgame build that uses the active block mechanic to delete monsters from the screen with Magma Barrier's retaliatory hit and the build's on-kill aoe explosions. Very good for breach, and hard on your framerate. Capable of 1 shotting pinnacle bosses.

Shield Charge around the map, and use Resonating Shield to perfect block a monster hit to proc your Magma Barrier. Infernal Cry can be used to give an extra layer of aoe detonate on death and extending the kill zone/lethality for Magma Barrier.

For bossing, use Shield Charge to apply your ignite and fire exposure, then Infernal Cry to boost the Hammer of the Gods hit.

Let me know what you think, open to any optimization suggestions.

Thanks for sharing the build and all the time and effort for writing everything out very accurately. I tried it and it actually worked out great. <3

Very nice build/guide (creative)! Thanks for sharing this post. Glad I stumbled upon this (as I thought I was done exploring PoE2 until Druid/Templar/Marauder [mainly melee-based]...lol)

Quick initial questions/thoughts:
-any synergy w/ Temp Chains you feel? (my current warrior pathed all the way up there for the curse, AOE curse, Recoup, and Fire) Otherwise, I'd probably have to re-spec/refund all of 'em and then go back down the tree again lol (lvl 60 is expensive for re-spec...and no gold left at this point...lol)
-any synergy w/ Recoup nodes? (any value/worth?)
-I'm thinking of using Cloak of Flames to bypass armor nodes, and have some evasion/ES. I noticed your build/guide has armor gear though...thoughts on prioritizing evasion/ES gear (and a few nodes) instead..? (not sure of the trade-off..)
-also I noticed your build/guide has only a few shield/block nodes...were you able to achieve max block chance w/ only a few of those nodes? How..? And are those shield/block nodes critical...I assumed so, and there are like 10+ more possible to take...(sad as I just refund/re-spec all of those shield/block nodes recently lol)
-currently, my warrior is spec'd w/ ~120 str/dex/int or so...thoughts? Lol..like looks you're all-in Str. (I'm trying wind dancer/evasion and need the int for Temp Chains. Though all-in Str yes more life, but less evasion/ES, but perhaps more damage, but less survivability from Temp Chains...though for this playstyle perhaps Temp Chains wouldn't be needed at all...not really sure)
-thoughts on perhaps replacing Cloak of Flames for Ghostwrithe and max ES (Kripp's latest warrior build)..? I'm going w/ CoF for now, but curious of the trade-offs there..(maybe only way to find out/try it later...lol...but that'd mean going back up again to Sorc tree lol)
-in your guide you mention: "Note: Increased defences from equipped shield nodes do not scale Magma Barrier, so investing in them is a waste. " -- any more clarification on this statement? Do you mean like the extra armor it gives from those nodes is pointless? If so, then yes as CoF is a band-aid for the armor problem. But how about the shield/block nodes...those should still be helpful...
-also important to note...that you mention the armor value of the shield affects the overall damage of Magma Barrier? Interesting...as the text on ths gem/skill itself mentions none of that I don't believe... (should try to see more YT videos on that..)
-do you feel attack speed nodes/gem (martial tempo) for RS would make any diff at all in terms of value/worth..(your nodes/gem are don't prioritize attack speed...but you do take "skill speed" nodes, not "attack speed"...interesting..I guess "skill speed" is actually more value/worth than "attack speed" as it seems to be a "catch all"...lol)? (may as well try it later...but just curious)
-do you feel endurance charge nodes would help here a bit but not sure in terms of value/worth? (it builds up from magma barrier at least, and the nodes will heal a % post infernal cry)
-Just curious, have you currently cooked up some more builds for other classes (melee-based)? Maybe more to explore after lol (this RS build was a blind spot for me...I tried Magma Barrier build but I was laughing at RS when I 1st tried it weeks ago...seemed so "gimmicky" so I just kinda ignored it lol [besides this lvl 60 warrior, I've tried lvl 63 Merc and lvl 21 Witch...not really a fan of Monk/quarterstaff])
