[3.2] Titan [16K ES, 1M DPS, 10K ES/sec, Deathless Uber Elder, Shaper on 1L, All map mods]

Hi, first of all: good job, i was building something like this since last league, but i didn't have enought time to test it in real game...

now, my questions:
Why not take mind over matter to further mitigate dmg? putting some points in mana nodes is a waste?
That brings to my second question...
i think you don't use 2 claws HOWA to not lose too much ES (1.5k may be?)
so, can u swap the body armor for a full ES one, that take MoM to mitigate the loss in defense and than wield a second claw in place of the shild? u should gain more dps while remaining almost stationary in terms of ES and tankyness...am i wrong?

thanks for the reply, gonna defenetly go for such a build during this league


MoM is hard to fit in because we have so little mana left after auras. We must run discipline, and wrath is very useful for damage.

2 HOWA's are not that useful. Since the added dmg is not global, we only gain ~25% dps from the second claw, but lose 2K ES and some resists. IMO that is not worth it.

A full ES body armour will give more ES, but less physical and elemental EHP. Since we lose the 25% less elemental dmg and only gain ~20% ES to compensate, we actually theoretically take 5% more elemental dmg with a 650ES / 40int chest. We also lose some points, because we have to path to the claw nodes in the shadow part of the tree for leech, which is a bit inefficient. Finally we lose all the armor we get from Incandescent Heart, which provides us with a bare minimum amount of physical mitigation. IMO not worth it but you could try it out.

Thanks a lot. hope i did not ask question someone did yet.
last question, something was never clear to me about zealot oath: does it make ES regen allways up, like it was life? or it's just a boost to the regen when it starts?

Hi,

first of all: I enjoy your build so far. I always wanted to play a Templar and BF was my best build so far in the past. Perfect match.

Here are some thoughts of mine:

Why don't you mention a boot enchant for stun avoidance? I played a CI BF back two leagues and the 80% stun avoidance on boots were good. Now with stun avoidance on jewels it's even better I think. And even without extra jewel avoidance: the enchant in combo with Brine King should trivialize stuns to a minimum when Brine King feels not good for some people.

For the lazy people (like me) before getting the Brine King upgraded, a Dream Fragment could be an alternative too. Sure you don't have any Int or WED, but you don't have to use flasks. :)

And for Clearspeed: I run a 4l Frostblades setup for Mapclearing instead of supported Ancestral Protector. The Protector is just non linked elsewhere. Maybe on Endbosses the ~300k DPS are better, but at my current state the FB give me some more clearspeed.

At last: Keep the good work up!

Greetings,

Borat

Currently struggling with Pit of chimera boss on white maps @ level 90. 8.4k es

Anyone mind gear checking me?

I just started poe in harbinger league so I'm relatively new to the mechanics, but I was able to face tank the pit of chimera boss with my harbinger bleed beserker.

Get a Watcher's Eye, clarity version to gain ES from mana.
For your tree, since you have Incandescent Heart, it is not optimal to go for the claw nodes at the Shadow part of the tree. Have a look at my character to see the rather optimal Soul of Arakaali version of the build. Also take a look at the gear (other than the helm, it was pretty expensive).
