Wish YOU knew how armor works. If you don't stack evasion, how can you expect to evade attacks? Same with armour. So sick and tired of this old myth perpetrated by uneducated players.

Facetanking ambrius with abyssus on with 47k armor pregranite ... you go do that with your 'exponential defenses' and let me know how it goes.

Now I've seen it all folks a guy from STANDARD insulting my build.
Running around in circles is not facetanking.
Link real facetank video without running in circles like a bitch and then get back with me.
I love how the video says it's a HC char but when I check out the build/items it clearly says STANDARD. You see I am alive and well in "Tempest league" and when I get a high enough level you will see all that shit armor is useless against any type of elemental damage.
Next, the cost of that 6-L Astral Plate alone is worth more than every item in my build combined.
I wish I could afford gear like that but my build still accomplishes much without investing hundreds of hours into the game.
There are more damage types than physical that exist in this game. 47k Armour = overkill period.
Corrupted blood, Chaos Dmg, elemental dmg + shocked ground = RIP.

Oh, he RIPPED? Exactly why I state in my build it isn't worth it to invest in armor. [Removed by Support] Karma is a bitch isn't it?

In my build, on 72 maps, I facetank EVERY BEYOND BOSS. I can stand there, in a single spot eat there damage and tear them to shreds while everyone in my party runs in circles. Go do that with your 47k armor. Oh, it won't happen w/o all that hp.

PS. I am reworking my build due to the mechanic changes in 2.0 since more physical and I have something up my sleeve but will be crunching the numbers and ARMOR isn't the solution. Something I won't do is insult other peoples builds in there own threads. My build is good and effective but it must evolve with the mechanic changes that WEREN'T MENTIONED IN PATCH NOTES. I had to figure this shit out myself and yes, this causes things to change.

Mad cuz schooled in mechanics?

"

Armor is not supposed to help vs elemental damage LOL. He rushed in like an idiot to -max res and shock ground and volatile stormblood, it would have happened to you too cuz you have less hp, and dodge / block / eva dont work on explosions. Neither does fortify.

"

Your highest boss video on the first page is merc brutus ... and you show cruel boss fights as if they are some achievement LOOOOOOL ... just saying. Stop projecting fantasies.

"

"If you have specific video requests please let me know and I'll work on it."

"

Pete maybe evasion is good but how most folks dies on HC?

"

They died because of spike damage and evasions only make this spikes bigger.

"

If you get hit for 90% HP as armour user you can use flask and survive. If you go eva you will evade 3 maybe even 4 hits like this but fifth will be inst kill because you will loss 100 not 90% hp.

"

Just wanted to say that your build is incredible. Don't listen to idiots

"

I bought 8 lv75 maps and I couldn't sustain my map pool.

"

Btw, I'm not sure why you say that GMP doesn't add much with a 6L. If x is your damage per projectile and you do x*3 damage normally then with GMP you do x*7*(1-.26)=5.18*x. So you do in total (5.18/3 = 1.72) 72% more damage. It's huge, I noticed a big difference in maps. I got a 6L with 100 life, dual res for 3.5ex in warbands, it has only 200 armor and evasion though.

"

The build works like a charm so far. Any how, I didnt see much int on your gear or tree but you are still able to level both auras to lvl 19. Any tip on keeping up int requirement for them?

"

Armour users also got fortify, enfeeble and endu charges (most of time at last 5). AA is also available

"

Of Course don't forget about shield/DW block. In ancalagon3000 build you can easy get 50 block chanse and 25 spell block only with Lazhwar.

"

Its give you basicly all benefits from your defence strategi and much more.

"

I really like your guide and wish you luck with this build.

any one made a 78+ map with this build is it tanky enought?!
