@Dissever So that legacy Soultaker really boosts dmg that much? 100K is quite good on a max block, not counting the aftershock.


Hi Serge. I've been playing your build for a while now. And I've been very happy with it. I did Atziri and Uber.

However when Izaro is using dual weapons.. I get raped. I've also tried dual boss on t14/15 in party and it worked ok.. but not great. So i was constantly looking to improve it.

Currently I am running Warlords + Hatred and sit around 35K tooltip. However I always felt it needs a small dmg boost. I recently came a cross the following build.

With the 2.3 I'm curious what do you think about Varunastra replacing Doryani, as it could benefit from more damage boost. Also what you think about Marauder vs Duelist with the 2 extra ascendancy points?

I permanently have 90% damage reduce, even without fortify or flasks and I feel like that's a waste of armor. I don't have a duelist available and wanted to find your opinion before I level one to 90+.
This is my current gear. And yes after endless labs I still don't have that damn EQ enchant on helm...

You can go for varunastra, ofc. There would be some changes, though: to get more dps, you'd need more dps nodes, so you'd lose some life/block. Also, you cant use a counter on block skill linked to endurance charge on melee stun, cause you'll never stun.

I would be going duelist for the block ascendancy nods. And swap endurance charge on mele stun with vengeance. As I mentioned, 7 endurance charges seems a waste other than increasing duration of IC. I think this patch duelist would be a better fit for this build.


What do you think about mele dmg on full life vs PtL gem?

I did test face-tank Act 4 Malachai and failed... =.= Actually I can move and evade his blow, but I just want to see how tankiness. Do you ever think about switching to duelist gladiator with additional block% from Ascendancy? Honestly, I have a duelist gla and it's pretty tanky. Just my opinion. Thanks for the build anyway :))

Hi i just started recently and always liked playing tanky and have some questions about the corrupted mods(?) for necklace and boots. Would it ok to go for + chaos resistance if you can't get + block for necklace? What about rainbowstride boots, + chaos resistance or would +1 level to socket be better? Or is it better to just get clean for these two item?

Been using a variation of this for nearly 2 years.
I took the Berserker ascendancy because this build was already tanky enough for my liking.
Great build!
