[R.I.P.] life Mjolner done right by Rico - Juggernaut version - R.I.P. thx to "balancing" policy
" The hardest one to get atm is the double physical reduction eye, they retail for 10-20ex but you can get lucky and catch them for 50-150c occasionally, still quite a few people that come across them that dont know the actual value. Regular jewel wise obviously spell damage but its more of a case by case basis, whatever your looking for an need, myself for example, I sit well above 6k life so I never opted for max. life, my preferred 4 lines have always been double spell damage, attack speed, resists. Its up to you, they are really there to fill in your own weakness, whatever you are lacking, and they certianly dont need to be what i linked, those 4 line jewels are very rare and horribly overpriced. As you get higher in level you can add more jewels, in total I carry 9 personally, its how you bypass the average damage of the build, 28% spell damage x7 gives you that extra punch.

Thanks for the info
another question, i used to use these build a while back and on that time i was using a few grand spectrum. So those are shit now, do i need to swap to something similar to yours? Thanks in advance |

Guessing you were using what, the Viridian ones for elemental damage? I havent used them personally, havent seen Rico use them on this or the Templar version so I cant say honestly. Im confident that mine are near BiS for dps purposes but there are interchangable lines, the resist could be 7% max life, or the reason I said near, ive even seen triple damage ones with spell damage/spell damage with shield and then either area damage, fire damage or lightning damage, plus the 4th line of resists but those are like 30+ ex each.

Managed to get tier 1 cooldown recovery and spell damage during flask together, was really hoping for tier 1-2 life for my prefix but after about 17ex this is going to have to do, can just multi mod it and slap life and movement speed on. Man I regret selling that t1 cooldown/life/strength belt I rolled on standard back in the 1st week of the elder expansion launch, I rolled it so easily I thought it wouldnt be bad to redo down the road when I built for 5 discharges. I can go 250+ alts without seeing any t1 cooldown speed roll, in about 13,000 alts I never paired t1 cooldown with t1 life, got t1 life and t2 cooldown three times. Its so painful crafting shaped items, thank god we only have 2 slots to worry about. Last edited by JCOH35#4078 on Feb 20, 2018, 11:01:47 PM

Still I think the absolute BIS is shaped stygian belt and either opal shaped ring or shaped spell dmg + light dmg. Also saw once on sale in Abyss rare helmet with 40% discharge enchant and 22% area dmg with t1 life and str. Imagine that combo in action, like 18-20% cdr with ~250 flat life and like ~120 spell dmg increase and a stygian jewel socket.

Now that we are hitting the end of league I just wanted to post my thoughts on the build having played it for the whole league. First of all thanks to RicoKGB for the amount of work that obviously went into this. This is my third league and I definitely had a lot more success with this character than any previous ones both in encounters completed and wealth.
I made it to level 94 clearing 120+ maps on the atlas for a vault setup and getting a shaper kill first try, this is the final set of items (could still use some final gem fixes and expensive things): The Good -The builds game play is fun to play it predictably feels like a whirlwind barb that explodes half the screen. -It makes uber lab a joke, you can pretty much ignore traps as they dont do enough damage and can always run Izaro for keys regardless of his abilities for the day. There really is no difference running uber from normal with this build. -Map clear was very good, I did the vault strat from the start and this wrecked it. -My first Shaper and Atziri kills were accomplished with this build. -Build functions without voll's devotion and scold's bridle until you can get enough currency to purchase them well into t10 maps. Voll's being the important one to get you into t15 maps. A small note, if the price of the cards are the same as a non + to curses volls, buy the cards. The Bad - Easily the worst leveling experience to 60 of any character i have played. It was slow and painful especially from 40-60. I switched to Mjolner the second i hit 60 and it got much better. - Scold's Bridle in league is very very expensive to get (10ex) and i didn't really obtain it until much later in the league. I wouldn't say it is necessary unless your doing shaper and guardian's though. Better players can probably clear those encounters without it perhaps. Suggestions - It would be really helpful to have specific skill gem and potion advice for Uber Atziri, Hall of Grandmaster's, and Shaper with this build. Maybe with a video of the fights? - An improved leveling build for league if that's even possible. I would almost just respec the tree at 60 than try that again. Thanks again for a fun league! |

" Agreed but last time I priced the rings the cheapest was around 50ex and an i84+ shaped stygian costs multiple mirrors so those just arent an option unless your a whale with his own mirror service or just sextant abuse shaped vault 16 hours a day.

" Idk, the leveling complaint is something i see alot in the thread but I leveled it twice and it honestly wasnt bad, all I did was use a similar leveling tree but with axe nodes instead of mace and used sunder, overall there are just better cheap/unique axes available all the way through to 61. I could see a section for uber being useful but the Shaper is just a joke, you can watch any generic youtube video and figure out the jist, sit in zanas bubble when you see it, and dont stand in the beam, its a pretty anti-climatic encounter. |

Thought I might pop on to thank Rico for a great build guide.
Thank you Rico :) happy to donate you my left over currency from Abyss and standard , few exalts etc if wanted. Furthest I have played to date, easily the strongest mapper. Looking forward to starting again next league. The most exceptional thing I achieved while using Mjolner is completing 133/157 maps in a resolution of 1024*768, everything turned off or at minimum achieving as much as 30FPS while in hide out and dipping to 3FPS during maps! Thats how good the build is, it carried me through graphics and performance that would make your eyes bleed! My graphics card blow at start of league so this mighty performance is from a 9600GT. Thanks again ;) |
