gear seems fine, albeit kinda totally wrong compared to the guide. I can only imagine it's a gameplay issue.

your paradoxica is absolutely trash, not gonna lie. assassin's mark ring is not as good as a vulnerability ring.

not having a -15 mana cost to socketed gem chest is your biggest issue. you shouldn't be using a single drop of mana in this build. enlighten on the auras is unnecessary, and you're missing precision. movement skill and blood rage should be linked to bloodtap.

above 5.5k HP, you shouldn't be getting 1-shot by anything that's not heavily telegraphed.

all in all, things that you're missing: watcher's eye (that's a fat +30% dps), ryslatha's coil, circle of guilt (added survivability + damage), amulet with better stats, ring with better (and correct) stats, tailwind/elusive boots, better rolled paradoxica, and a way better chest.

you can also drop a block node on the tree. our max block is 79%, and you get 8% free when you get hit, so you need only 71% flat block standing at HO. I dropped defiance and got 2 points that can be spent elsewhere (getting to another jewel socket, for example).


Thanks for the reply, im currently working on this but it seems ill need to farm a bit more for all of it, Just got the mana cost body armour and switched the enlighten for precision and put lifetap on my other skills so now got all my gems and mana worked out. Right now im working on getting a circle of guilt and then eventually a rsthalas.

Appreciate the help. Hopefully this solves all my problems! :D
And cheers for the tip on removing Defiance on the tree got another gem socket slot thanks to that, more life and damage!

Also until i can afford a ryslathas coil, what belt should i use? Would soul tether work in making me survive more? or do i go like a belt of the deceiver for more damage

how do we get 100% chance to impale? I only have 40 atm


Impale support skill : 40 %
Forceful Skewering 15%
Swift Skewering 15%
2 small impale effect : 5 + 5
Dread banner : 20%

Total 100%


I am still on 70%. Dread banner gives me only 10%. What are those two small impale effects?

2 of the small nodes that lead to the impales
Impale chance and physical damage - 5% x2
Dread banner also gives 20% when its planted

Is explosive chest still worth useing? or beter go with -mana and power charges?

And one more question: do we still keep blood rage gem when we get Paradoxica (it trigger blood rage very often) ?

First of all thank you so much for this awesome build. I played a ton of them but this just stood out. Solid damage and a MASSIVE tank! Also its fun to play (coming from d3 as a WW barb main). Edit: And its just perfect for this league :)

But now I need your help. What should I upgrade next? Whats the most important next step? Am I building correctly? You see any mayor mistakes I currently make?

Here is my pob: https://pastebin.com/buAyWjme

Thanks again and keep it up!

Edit: a little note from me the "Arrogance" gem does not work, only lifetap. For the ones with mana problems (build with precision). -> level down your bloodrage (vendor scouring orb and the gem for -1 level)

Arrogance was only there as a placeholder for Lifetap, since with all the auras your left with about 10-20 mana, the only skill you have that should use mana is blood rage and it most likely wont be able to be maxed for taht reason

explode chest right now doesn't feel too good. -mana is a must, power charge is a luxury.

you keep blood rage on a separate gem link because you need it on single target fights, as paradoxica's blood rage only procs on kill.

a simple stygian vise with life and resists should do just fine (belt of the deceiver would be the absolute budget option).

IMO, soul tether's overleech isn't that useful on this build compared to others. we're block capped and every block recovers a shitton of HP already, overleech would give you that extra safety, but using up an entire item slot for that isn't really worth it

I’m playing this on HC Ultimatum.

Gear is still meh, but working on it.

Anything you’d do differently on HC?


honestly? I'd reroll. this build is tanky as all hell, but our biggests weakness is degens. it really, really doesn't feel great to walk over a puddle and watch your HP drop so fast. if there was a way to make us tankier to DoT's, i'd do it

Hello i have a super noob question....POB show the true DPS of paradoxica (double damage)? or i have to calculate it?

Right now i have this

Reroll cause of degens? But the build is so fun...

Mind checking my gear and saying what you’d save for first? I bought a warlord base to craft % life on block, but other than that?

chest with -15 to mana cost is a must, honestly. you free up a ring slot by not having to use mana and ditching the praxis, you finally set up lifetap on your movement skill, and you can finally fit in all your auras.

a crafted shield with really, really good rolls could be better than The Surrender, but the amount of armor you get from it also helps a lot in increasing your phys damage reduction. the reckoning/riposte/vengeance setup linked with LGoH also helps a ton in survivability.
