Build Info

Divergent Boneshatter

Using Divergent Boneshatter with Ashes of the Stars provides a ton of increased Attack Speed which allows you to obtain more Trauma and ramp your damage harder and faster. This comes at the cost of increased Trauma damage, so this must be mitigated by following the Passive Tree and Gearing section correctly!

IMPORTANT! DO NOT get any + Gem Levels to your Using Divergent Boneshatter, this could be a Corruption on your Body Armour, or from your Weapon. It's VERY important that Using Divergent Boneshatter remains at Level 20, to ensure you reach the 4% more Damage per Trauma threshold AND that you do not take any additional unnecessary Trauma damage from further levels. There is no large damage increase to Levels past 20, but you take much more damage for Levels 21+ so make sure you lock your Gem at Level 19 because Ashes of the Stars gives an additional Level to all Gems.

Precise Technique

Precise Technique requires your Accuracy to be higher than your current maximum Life. This means you must invest into Accuracy on your gear, Passive Tree and use the Precision Aura to hit this threshold. Remain mindful of how much Accuracy you have and how much Life you're obtaining with upgrades.

Fourth Vow + Divine Flesh

Divine Flesh + The Fourth Vow gives your Boneshatter Juggernaut build an incredible way to mitigate Elemental and Chaos damage at the same time. With half of your Elemental Damage taken as Chaos, you eliminate half of the power of Elemental Penetration against your defenses BUT this requires you cap your Chaos Resistance at 80%!

You also largely mitigate that half of Chaos Damage taken with your massive amount of Armour. The 50% of Elemental Damage leftover is further mitigated by a slightly boosted Max Resistance combined with 8% of your Armour thanks to Unbreakable. Now our Armour can work even harder on only 50% of damage than it otherwise would be.

Ailment Avoidance

Ailment Avoidance comes from Stormshroud on your Boneshatter Juggernaut build. Obtain chance to Avoid being Shocked through your Boots Implicit and the Screaming Essence of Torment modifier. While you could simply just sit on the Shock immunity, and save currency on the Jewel, it's much better to be Immune to Ignites as DoT damage is the one weakness of the build. It also allows you to obtain an additional 5% Physical Damage Reduction from Gruthkul, and makes you immune to Alternate Ailments if you plan on completing wave 30 Simulacrum.

Recovery

This build has a ton of different recovery mechanics involved. You have Life Leech and the Leech Mastery providing you an additional 25% Recoup. You have additional recoup from your Helmet Implicit. Progenesis gives breathing room for Recovery to work harder. Lastly you have the Juggernaut's Untiring which gives a massive amount of Life Regeneration because of the Physical Damage you're mitigating from Trauma stacks.

Pantheon & Bandits

Bossing

While bossing with the Boneshatter Juggernaut Build, it's important to keep up your Totem Buffs and stay in constant range of the boss so that you can land Attacks in between Boss abilities. You can tank many many hits with this build, BUT you can't eat literally every single ability. You must still get out of the majority of Uber Boss abilities.
