Titan Class
Resonating Shield + Fortifying Cry for map clear
Shield Wall + Fortifying Cry for Bosses or tight situations.

I like shield skills and gameplay. Previous leauge I started with the idea of how much I can push Resonating Shield so here we are. Build received some indirect nerfs but definitely stronger than The Dawn of The Hunt leauge.

You just go boom boom with RS in the maps. I didnt have any problem with the end game map mechanics because attack speed + aoe is very nice. For Bosses you just put Shield Wall and use the warcry do deal massive damage.

Hello, thanks for sharing !!
I'm a huge fan of righetous fire and I always wanted to try to push Resonatting Shield in PoE 2 endgame.
I'm happy to see that someone achieved it. I'll stick with this build for this season and will try to test some optimization if possible.

Have you tried to play it with 2H mace and Giant's Blood node ?

Where is most of the damage coming from for resonating shield? The only gem on it that seemingly increases it damage is brutality.

Is it based on the shields armor rating like poe1 shield throw?

Yes, base skill damage come from weapon DPS + shield armour stats.
Then Brutality + Heft support. And passive nodes for armour break + dps on broken armour, stun build up + dps on stunned enemy, +aoe damage, +close range damage.
And a lot of damage come from Fortifying Cry with passive node from Cry damage and reduced cooldown

Yep jsut as Tintinus said. Also I'd like to add a few things so you dont waste currency trying to figure it out.

Only added flat phys dmg from rings and gloves and such is added to RS.
One handed melee weapon mods DO NOT add anything to any shield skill, not even the accuracy rating on the weapon. ( Thats sad btw )

Only benefit you can get from mace is +5 to melee skills and +Strength.

The more attack speed you get on RS, the more mana it burns, and it burns a lot. almost 300 mana per second on a warrior? Nope. Thats why we go for Blood Magic Keystone. Decent Health regen + %12-15 ish life leech makes it way better.

Only Abyss dot mobs and rare abyss dot aoe around the mob is what you watch out. They dont one shot but you'll see your life go down a bit fast. Apart from that, You are totally unkillable with Raise Shield.

I figured out Hit and Run support gem and it skyrocketed my attack speed to 4.1 per sec. There is a little issue but I explained it in the video.
