[3.1] BERSERKER/JUGGERNAUT 288k DPS Ice Crash/EQ Crit Staff AKA "The Shattering Karui"

That's a nice setup :) I still need to get my own acuity on standard.

playing hardcode league, is better to choose juggernaut ascendancy, isn't it?

i'm rly enjoying the game with this build, but i died recently in hardcore :(

and when i get my ascendancy i wasn't sure about it, if was better berserker or juggernaut. As i'm playing hardcore mode i prefered juggernaut but not sure about which node should i choose, any suggestion?

and what about low leveling? what did you used? i was using sunder and ground slam as main skills.

It's a really tough call, to be honest. Juggernaut does give more tankiness, while Berserker does give more DPS. However, Juggernaut compensates for it with the accuracy node, which is pretty huge, while Berserker compensates for it with life and mana leech, which is also a pretty big deal. There's no correct answer here. Both are good. It comes down to what you prefer personally.

If you go Juggernaut, you should go Unrelenting + Undeniable + Unbreakable.

For leveling it doesn't really matter much. Any good melee skill is fine, even sweep, or just using ancestral warchief even.

Updated the build significantly. Juggernaut seems like the best setup IF you can get The Brass Dome.

Thank you for this update! I will probably use this set up next season. You should make it official on your post ;)

I did, no worries :)

Hi. I was really bored in Breach league, but i found your build and im lvling it atm. I want to thank you for all effort you put into this guide and also have some questions. :)

1. If im using Earthquake, its better to use Heavy strike or 5l ancestral warchief?
2 Im going to use Juggernaut (never used this ascendency before) and im not sure how u can leech life and mana. Atm (lvl 46) im using hatred+ warlord's mark(blasphemy).i didnt see any leech nodes on your tree.
3 I have 5l Hegemony nd 5l Brass dome, my gems will be earthquake, less duration, area effect, melee phys and crit chance, its ok? and on 6l i wanna use crit dmg.
4. Im playing softcore, so i thought about aura reduction nodes near Templar area+ enlighten lvl 2 or 3 for hatred+ warlords mark(blas)+Arctic armour. What do you think about it? (combo for juggernaut only)

1. TBH, I think Warchief might be better. Test yourself and decide.
2. I got leech on jewels, 0.3 is minimum needed, 0.6 is more than enough.
3. Yep, that's fine.
4. Go for it if you know what you want to trade for it.

I just happened upon this thread while looking up best supports for Ice Crash.

My lvl 60 Juggernaut is the 1st melee character I've taken this far, since beta, and I have a question about gear.

If I want to keep using Ice crash, because I like it, would it be worthwhile to use a pyre ring? Could I use that and switch from Herald of Ash to Frost to keep the freeze chance or would the proc turn to ignite as well?

Finally, I have a Brass Dome already, so I want to spec into Unbreakable. I already slotted into Unyielding with my 1st two points as I have fortify support on IC as well as the fortify nodes on tree. End game, should I get rid of the fortify nodes in the Juggernaut tree and swap to the Acc?


Thank in advance,

Also, are you going to make a video on your new build with your juggernaut? It would be awsome.
