Welcome to this "Path of Exile" guide!  After seeing footage of the volcanic fissure of snaking, I was sold. Unlike its standard version, the transfigured volcanic fissure of snaking doesn't just fire projectiles at the end of its first fissure. Instead, it erupts in an area of effect, continuing in another direction toward enemies to erupt again. By default, it erupts three times, but with gem quality, it can erupt four times, and with "Ashes of the Stars," it can erupt five times. To further enhance the eruptions, stacking the area of effect becomes crucial. The Juggernaut offers a fantastic area of effect scaling, especially with the new Affliction charms, providing a 6% increased area of effect per endurance charge in the Juggernaut ascendancy.

Enhanced Eruptions and Area of Effect Scaling

With seismic cry as a war cry, we can pump up the area of effect even more. Crit staves are chosen for damage output, with "Eventuality Rod" being a preferred base for its additional maximum power and endurance charges. The revamped "Relic's Impatience" boots provide all maximum charge effects at all times, allowing us to use "Arna's Anguish" to generate brutal charges instead of endurance charges.

Juggernaut Ascendancy and Affliction Charms

The build balances offense and defense excellently. The increased area of effect not only amplifies damage potential but also provides safety by covering a large portion of the screen. While dealing with bosses, the build's versatility shines, making it easier to manage deadly moves in melee range.

Balancing Offense and Defense

As a Juggernaut, defensive and offensive choices abound. "Unflinching" provides an additional endurance charge and generation, while "Unyielding" offers an increased area of effect and damage per endurance charge. "Undeniable" enhances accuracy and attack speed, while "Unbreakable" reinforces defense by applying armor to elemental damage taken.

Affliction Ascendancy and Passive Tree

In terms of ascendancies, the Primalist offers synergy with the charms, focusing on endurance charge scaling and other defensive layers. The passive tree emphasizes crit nodes, life, and endurance charges, with a cluster jewel for additional bonuses.

Gearing Choices and Unique Items

Gear-wise, the "Eventuality Rod" serves as the weapon of choice, while Abyssus offers damage amplification despite increased physical damage taken. "Ashes of the Stars" amulet and "Relic's Impatience" boots are essential for maximizing eruptions and charge effects. "Loreweave" chest and rare rings provide additional damage, life, and resistance.

Skill Gem Links and Priorities

Skill gem links prioritize volcanic fissures of snaking with support gems like "Pulverize," "Inspiration," "Awakened Melee Physical Damage," and "Awakened Elemental Damage with Attacks." Warcry and supporting skills are placed in a six-link staff with "Life Tap." Auras like "Determination" and "Herald of Ash" further augment damage output.

Flasks and Utility

Flasks include a Divine Life Flask with Corrupting Blood Immunity, a Basalt Flask for added armor, and a Diamond Flask for increased critical strike chance. "Bottled Faith" and a Granite Flask round out the defensive and offensive utility.

Overall, this build offers a satisfying blend of offense and defense, making it a strong contender for tackling end-game content. Whether it's clearing maps or facing tough bosses, this build excels in both scenarios, offering a rewarding and enjoyable experience in "Path of Exile."
