[3.21] Aegis Incinerate Elementalist - Tank with over 10mil Shaper DPS!

They reworked the skill tree already. Here is the diff (you have to click "Load diff"), a lot of it is minion damage tweaks.

https://github.com/grindinggear/skilltree-export/commit/d20c71a8b4453888c5562a59c59187aeb4f6351f#diff-99377c63fbe5425d01e6e128d8b6a4a9b3f2e18bb233155583875b8a65aef58f

The one that jumped out at me is:

- "Reflect Physical Damage equal to 500% of Physical Damage prevented when Hit"
+ "100% increased Armour from Equipped Shield"

Holy crap, 1100 more armor from our shield.

is that a mastery change? It shows up multiple times in that .diff file. I am unsure where on the tree it is going to be and whether we can access it or not.

Do you think after we settle on a baseline, that it is finally time for us to port this thread over to Elementalist?

Inquisitor is basically dead right now and I think you would get a lot more eyes (and ideas) if we copied, and cleaned up, the first post over to elementalist to start off 3.16 fresh.

I am willing to help out in any way that I can but if the idea is more work than it is worth, please just ignore. :)
but more people playing will drive up gear cost XD

Search for "Armour Mastery" in the POB

Closest one for our tree is the one by Eternal Youth.

Might be a bit far, but at least you get some str/dex/armor/life on the way there.

And 1100 base armour is no joke, might be worth it.
Maybe trade off the 4 points from the armor/ES mastery branch by Divine Shield (30% reduced crit damage from sanctum of thought is huge though)

Much of the gear we use is used by significantly more popular builds. For a niche build, this has never been a cheap build unfortunately.

Thanks for the tip on the armor mastery!
Just for kicks I pathed to it, and it only bumped 31170 to 33016, using Clay's 2nd iteration of POB. Only 1846 bump. For some reason I thought with 191% armor from tree and determination it would be a lot more)

I await Clay's guidance!
People are still arguing over whether Divine Shield will proc when we block.

I wouldn't even know how to test this in game....

Most seem to think it will NOT proc on block even if using Glancing Blows.

Luckily it is only 1 point so we did not go crazy to get it and it will proc on at least 25% of the physical hits we take.

I think I may know why. That 100% will not double the armor.

I believe it is going to additively effect this stat on our shield which is already increasing the armor:

(300-400)% increased Armour and Energy Shield


This is the "more" vs "increased" general area I think...
Obviously 4 year law degree is not enough for 3.16 :P

Damn it I was so excited. ME HULK! (hides behind shield)

The next thing is have they announced gear rework? If our shield gets butchered then it's game over :(

all gear rework has been announced as part of the patch notes. There may be some very very late changes but I don't expect we will see anything effect us.
