[Titan] Tanky max block Shockwave totem build
|
Pros: Should be super tanky Increased inventory (+20 to capacity) Lazy play style: dodge and place totems More time to pick up loot Good league starter HC viable Cons: Damage may be mediocre May not be suitable for uber endgame content (against healing monsters) Some players does not like totem playstyle As we do not know the artifacts in game I have made a draft version of build that seems to be rather tanky. +20 Capacity to inventory is a huge QoL, so I think this is very good for players who are keen for many dropped items in game. +50% increased effect of small points looks insane. +15% max life and 50% more armor from body armor are descent defence skills. I have not picked up Stun nodes as I think heavy stun will not be effective against most difficult enemies (bosses) The Block Chance is extremely important for being tanky in PoE2, alllowing to facetank all ubers in POE1 (with other defense layers like 90/90/90/90% resists and 100% spell suppression + evasion) Totems allow to further improve survivability by spending time dodging attacks while totems are doing the job Thus Block and Totem nodes are located at the same bottom/left part of the tree I think this build may be a good league starter, making a small buff to party by allocating life regen to allies I think that +50% to small stats will boost strength and thus allocated stat allowing to weild two-handed using one hand + shield So we came up with the following stats:

Could you send a link to the poedb tree?

In which order do you claim passives?

I did reverse enginering and for the statistics given by the author I came up with something like this. |

I progress quite slowly at acts, reading all lore, so currently at Act 1. The only totem available is shockwave totem. Its damage is low, not suitable against bosses, but I combine them with battle skills. POE2 appears much more difficult then I expected, so i think we need to prioritize defense nodes first.
The Warrior class is much less tankier then I thought, maybe I need more resistance on gear, requiring grinding more. There once was an exile who found a map of infinite doctors.

I'm trying somthing like this, but focused more on stuns,currently at lvl 12, with the sinergy between Shockwave totem and earthquake, but feels very slow and weak.
The opther skills available doesn't seems very appealing, any other ideas on what i should go with? Last edited by Caern86#2356 on Dec 8, 2024, 2:48:23 AM

Update During act 1/2 the priority is to get +1 to max totems moving directly to the nodes. Although damage output is low it is playable There once was an exile who found a map of infinite doctors.

Could you post a quick gameplay video of it? Just trying to gauge and see how low the damage actually is, thanks!
