[PoE2 0.4 latest compatible]Physical Kuma Titan super detailed strategy guide! Endurance over 2000, extremely fast laps on T16 map & stable control of Pinnacle boss[Path of Exile 2 Titan build thorough explanation]

The Physical Bear Titan build, which is very active in the Path of Exile 2 (PoE2) 0.4 patch “Fate of the Vaal” league, is the strongest class's orbit-specific configuration that combines overwhelming durability and wide-range suppression power. This build is based on the Warrior class Ascendancy “Titan” and utilizes the bear form shape shift with the new weapon type “Talisman”. Centered on the main skill “Rampage”, it explodes firepower with synergies such as aftershocks and blessings of ancestors, and boasts an iron-clad defense with approximately 2000 life and 17000 armor. From high-speed laps on Tier 16 maps to pinnacle bosses, you can reliably conquer everything.

This guide covers the mechanics of each skill, the optimal path through the passive tree, equipment recommendations for each stage, and techniques based on actual combat. We cater to everyone from beginners to advanced players and provide a complete roadmap from league start to end game.

The biggest appeal of the Physical Kuma Titan is its “simplicity of operation and stability of output.” Press and hold Rampage to move while mowing down groups of enemies, and Titan's passive will activate automatic firepower enhancement. Crushing Impacts, enhanced in the 0.4 patch, adds 25% more damage to heavy stun enemies and improves boss fights. In terms of durability, armor scaling with Hulking Form achieves physical reduction of over 70%, allowing you to maintain the front line without fear of being hit. With investment from the middle of the league onwards, you can reach monster specs with millions of DPS and over 80,000 EHP.

The weakness of this build is the initial Rage accumulation rate, but it is easily resolved with Ferocious Roar and Maul. Druid starts are also possible, but Warrior Titan is the best choice and has the highest tree efficiency. We will dig deeper into each element below.

1. Physical Kuma Titan Build Overview and Complete Specifications

Physical Bear Titan is a physical attack build that uses slam-type skills as its core, transforming into a bear form using talisman equipment. Talismans were officially implemented in the 0.4 patch, and Maul became available as a basic attack for Bear Form. The main Rampage is a channeled movement slam that consumes Rage to extend its duration and annihilate enemies while continuously slamming the ground.

Completed spec example (around Lv96)

• Life: 2000-3500
• Armor: 17000-25000 (Physical reduction over 70%)
• Resistance: All elements 75% cap, Chaos 60%+
• DPS: Single 1 million ~, AoE several million (including aftershocks)
• Movement speed: Over 158% (movement scale during Rampage)
• EHP: 80,000 to 120,000 (due to Charge Regulation, etc.)

With this, you can easily clear 3 tablets and 1 portal on the T16 map. Pinnacle bosses can be killed instantly with a heavy stun chain. Its strength is its “balance of durability and firepower'', it has few operational errors, and with investment in the latter half of the league it will become unrivaled. The weakness is Rage management, but it is automated with trees and skills.

Transition from level ring to end game

• In Acts 1-3, Maul + Furious Slam generates Rage.
• In Act 4-6, Rampage will be unlocked (Lv41) and Ferocious Roar will be added.
• At the beginning of Maps, Glory is accumulated through Walking Calamity.
• At the end, Mountain Splitter will automatically trigger 3 aftershocks.

The estimated investment amount is T10 stable at league start 0c, T16 at mid 10c, and Pinnacle at 100c.

2. Detailed explanation of bear shape shift and special skills

The bear form is a shapeshift that is activated when equipped with a Talisman. A new weapon class added in 0.4 that functions as a 2H weapon and grants a special basic attack Maul when transformed. Kuma's strengths are huge AoE and high armor, which naturally expands the range of slam skills.

Bear form mechanics

• Transformation is immediate and can be switched by weapon swap.
• Basic attack: Maul (Rage 5 on Hit, physical slam).
• Dodge Roll: 30% longer range (bug fixed).
• Bonus: Scales armor + physical damage in Hulking Form.

Dedicated skill list

• Maul: The basis of Rage generation. 5Rage per hit, 10+ possible with support.
• Pounce: Close gap + Grant Predator's Mark. A kill will summon Wolf.
• Furious Slam: A strengthened slam that consumes 10 Rage. Generates Jagged Ground and expands AoE.

Shapeshift is operated by using Weapon Set 1 to attack Set 2 (Roar, etc.), and by swapping to generate Rage at high speed. Druidic Prowess (with Amor Mandragora weapon) increases Skill Speed ​​by 30%. During transformation, the movement speed mod is directly linked to Rampage speed.

The durability of this form is Armor Explosion, and the Endurance Charge is automatically managed with Scavenged Plating and Charge Regulation. It is possible to maintain firepower with the Rage generation node when hit.

3. Performance, operation method, and gem composition of the main skill “Rampage”

Rampage is a bear-specific channeling skill that charges while slamming the ground. Japanese name “Rampage”, Tier 11, Lv1-20 base damage 75-306%. Mana 14-97, 5 Rage consumption per second (first 2.5 seconds free). Attack speed is 70% and impact radius is 2.2m.
