[2.4] Tank of Blades: Slayer Life MoM NonCrit Ele BV LeapSlam Tank! (Guardian vids) + 1ExBUDGET!

Really nice build, enjoyed it the last weeks. Please can you tell me what the blue bubble around your charakter is?
Actually I stuck at T14. Tried out Core and Overgrown Ruin, wasn't able to kill the bosses...I think it's my bad playstyle :D https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/ententrainor/characters

Oh, the blue bubble around my character is from the unique belt Maligaro's Restraint, which I skin transfered onto my belt just for the bubble effect.

Looking at your gear, you should be able to take down those bosses pretty easily, so it really might just be the rolls on the maps or as you've said, your playstyle. ;) Glad you're enjoying it!

Hi there. I'm not very experienced in PoE but I was looking for a tanky char for a change and really like your build. I was wondering what your take is on shields. I see you build comes close to quite a few Shield nodes including +block, +% damage with shields and other nice boosts. Is it the loss of the weapon links? How much of a damage/defense difference could it make do you think? I get you were aiming for a good mix of clear and survivability. I'm just musing as I'll be playing with a squishy friend.

Well, I was considering that route as well, and I think it would be tankier than this version - if I dropped Pledge of Hands I'd replace it with a Sai dagger (Block chance implicit) with cast speed crafted on it with an Essence, along with Spell Damage of course. Shield would be a life + resistance piece with Spell Damage if possible. You'd have to have a 6L Chest, and I'd take a Lightning Coil in this case for maximum tankiness - the colours would be really hard to get on it though. You could make it with a Rare Chest as well.

Hi, this builds going great so far! I have a question though, what do you think about using a lightning coil over belly of the beast?

I think that Lighning Coil is the best armor for the build, IF you can get the resistances elsewhere. :)

I've toyed with the idea before, basically it comes down to a completely different tree and links concerning the damage, but it's definitely doable, and for strictly farming Uber Lab, would probably be much faster.

Just keep the tanking shell from this build, but replace the elemental damage with chaos/poison on tree, and of course the elemental jewels should be replaced with Poison, Void Manipulation etc.

Cheers, looks like poison is getting patched, still think I'm going to do it though.

Go for it, and let me know how it ends up!
