[3.1] JUGGERNAUT/BERSERKER 1H+Shield Max Block&Spell Block Tank, Atziri Killer+a BoR version

The icing on the cake, after I 6l the armor and grind up enough currency, will be legacy Rumi's.

Hello, really nice and fun build, thanks for sharing. I wanted to run 1h mace+shield mara with max block so i was looking for some tips and found this one :) Im thinking of belly of the beast, do you think it will work out fine ? Thanks in advance.

Your chest is the biggest source of armour of all your gear, I would therefore not recommend using belly. With this build, you already have 5.6k HP anyway, so belly really isn't needed, and the reason why you want armour isn't only physical dmg reduction, but also ES regen from Aegis Aurora. Thus, I recommend getting a good 1.5k+ armour rare chest instead of belly.

Let me just say, ComradeSerge, that I cream my pants just looking at the armor you have :D

Yes, it is the best armour I have, actually. Bought it in Torment, unlinked, for 2ex :)

HI Serge , I haven't played in over a year. Had this 1H shield infernal blow build of yours.
is this still viable? , I still have you on my friends list :)
Where do i get started ? did a lot of mechanics and stuff change?

It's actually a lot stronger than before :) just check the first post in this thread, everything you need to know is there. Also, got a couple of Youtube videos you can check:

Hi Serge, i am a new player joining POE, i was playing diablo 3 on and off, and since i am finished (bored to death) with season 3 where i accomplished what i aimed for, and decided to give poe a try.

Been reading comparisons between d3 and poe, but no point, i decided to try it my self. I am building character marauder with your shield infernal blow max block, and i like it, i am currently lvl 61, and easily farming act 2 - fellshrine on mercifull.

I am slowly getting the gear to actually fit gems that you use :)))), since everything was totally new, but i am getting the hang of it.

So first, thanks for this great build, i have been watching all the builds and classes before i tried and decided for this one.

And my question is, i didnt know expansion is right around the corner, and i realized that all i ve done so far (which is not much i know :) ) could be for nothing if build is not viable after expansion.

So i am asking you, will this build change much in expansion and/or will it still be viable? I hope that it will. And will you update this build if need be?

Thanks for answering.

Yes, I was updating this build for each expansion since patch 1.1, and that won't change. In fact, the tree for patch 2.0 is already ready, you can take a look if you're interested:

Infernal blow will be even better because the corpse explosion damage can't be reflected anymore, so reflect mobs aren't an issue. The area of effect is only slightly nerfed, but it's not noticeable, I tested it in the beta.

And once again, i feel devestated after looking up some builds...

2 days ago I started a crit dual strike marauder, which i planned to use with cast on melee kill detonate dead, then i find this guide with infernal blow which is even better, because it saves me the gem setup and probably deal more dmg with the explosion (the fire dmg you deal to the mob will be stacked or will only deal dmp equal to one hit's?)


I also did the math and stopped going for crit nodes, because it would take too much passives and would not really pay back on the long run and proceed into the marauder nodes for the block instead of the ranger cluster, so i have simillar tree to your :DD

So i think i will make my own version of the build, thanks for the guide :)
