Guys would a green dream or green nightmare jewel be good for us?
Placed in the jewel slot just above Sentinel node on tree.
Thanks.

Not sure about green, but I'm running a blue nightmare, and my Power Charges are much more consistent and almost always up. which means a lot more crits!

Green nightmare could be interesting...It would have to top a well rolled rare though to really be a benefit since our jewel slots are somewhat limited. Base bonus from a green would be 12% attack speed and damage on full charges, so a good rare could top that, and always be available (charges don't increase on boss fights).

Plus you actually have to have points in the associated passives to gain the benefits. For my current build that's not an issue as I already have some in there, but on the default build you'd have to determine what to give up to invest those points.

for me the consistent power charges are worth it (plus the extra resists make gearing that much easier), but I'm on the fence when it comes to frenzy charges.

If you have survivability problems I would drop abyssus. I guess a Loreweave should be a goal in the long run. Otherwise I would just try to improve the rare gear & jewels piece by piece.

Kaom‘s Roots are obviously also an option but I guess that is a matter of taste.

Thank you for your reply.

I have a Loreweave but I had a few survivability problems when I swapped this with my current armour.

Any ideas what type of Headpiece I could use instead of abyssus

Abyssus brings a lot of dps but also the survivability problems. Starkonja’s Head is a decent option for survivability and dps imo.

Abyssus brings a lot of dps but also the survivability problems. Starkonja’s Head is a decent option for survivability and dps or just a rare helmet with high life and res.

I am planing to overwork this guide quiet a bit... I worked on the PoB file and I think this should be quiet nice. I am leveling my maurauder atm and will let you know how it goes. If someone take a look... here is the PoB file:

PoB: https://pastebin.com/aG1LqkgA

I probably will overwork this while leveling but more or less I will go for this.

The build is good atm and blood and sand boosted dmg alot and it's so much better then herald of ice. also i went for 1 extra jewel socket and jewels is the best way to boost survival res + alot of dmg with attack speed.

I also uppgraded my rings to Opal rings but currently am to poor to multi craft them but i got one with 25 elemental damage and 42 ele to attack skills + 60-70 life am gonna try to get attack speed also.

my tooltip dps is 493k without flasks and totem, 6.700 hp (level 95)

One tip i can give to improve the build is to play vaal molten shell, it's so good and it will carry you thru all the hard legion packs. it's a shield for 13k for 10 sec

Mana Reservation:
Hatred
Blood and Sand
Flesh and Stone linked with Maim

PoB: https://pastebin.com/Rt0ALqNz

According to PoB that should push dps quiet a bit. Try it out and give me some feedback :)

Hello dude,
Is sth wrong with me or these skills have 100% mana reservation?
Your PoB link showing blood and flesh on inactive mode.

Did you miss it?


BTW, big thanks for build and all updates :)

Thx for the build.

I did a few small changes:
1. dropped Abyssus for a rare helmet with life, armor, some res and -cold res for nearby ennemies
2. using Mark of the Elder + shaped ring
3. aiming for Loreweave in the long run, using a rare with armor, life, resists for now. High base armor + Lion's Roar has nice synergy with
4. using Vaal Molten Shell instead of Immortal Call. With Lion's roar, I have approx 16k armor, which means 3200 additional effective HP + Vaal MS as an "oh shit" button (close to 10k additional effective HP)
5. in the Uber Lab, I chose the defensive route: Unrelenting instead of Unyielding. I feel that it synergizes better with the overall tankyness theme of Juggernaut and the additional damage from Unyielding isn't that big either. AoE is also ok without it because
6. I swap out Ruthless for Pulverize (in addition to Increased AoE) for mapping. Means I have to swap two gems for tough bosses, but that's ok. AoE is really nice in maps (41) and dps are sufficient to instagib trash.

Still many upgrades of my gear possible, as I had sh... drops so far - no single ex drop, no valuable item. In terms of drops, worst league ever for me, but the build and league mechanic are really fun, so all is good :)
