[R.I.P.] life Mjolner done right by Rico - Juggernaut version - R.I.P. thx to "balancing" policy

Seeing alot of new faces the last week or so and alot of questions/concerns over the aps and cooldown recovery speed.

Just wanted to say you dont have to obsess over it starting out, I played the first 2-3 months with 4 discharges a second and easily completed my entire atlas and deathless shaper.

As time went on I collected 4 line double spell damage jewels with attack speed and resists and I eventually transitioned to 4.5 cyclone aps once I finally got my shaped belt crafted. It was a slow process though and its just icing on the cake.

With the 3.2 ascendancy changes its easier to stack attack speed now but dont stress over it, get the other stuff 1st and just look for nice crafting bases, an i84+ shaped unset or opal ring and an i84+ shaped heavy or leather belt.

When you get some extra money/time craft them, it is very difficult b/c they have so many additional possible rolls hence the insane prices you see on poe.goods but you never know when you are going to get lucky.




I made mine but it took quite a bit of time and money, the build as you are seeing is strong enough to easily faceroll the content with random, low roll rares, this is just a project to work on as you go a bit here and there. Dont throw all your $ at it at once unless you are pretty well off, its easy to drop 10ex and not get t1 life + the t1 suffix you need.

Question: when buying pledge of staff, can I just get a 4-link? on the 5-link, I dont really see the faster casting gem as important. Is it? I can save money and just go with the 4-link.

Also, why is a flame golem important in this setup even though it'd be gone by the time you switch weapons. Not sure if i'm missing something. thank you

Regardless of the build your running the flame golem is free increased damage and you dont lose it on a weapon swap unless its socketed in your shield which it shouldnt be, its most practical to slot your movement skills in the shield.

The Pledge of Hands links are to increase the base cost of the casted spell to trigger arcane surge, you can also run any non linked 6 socket item and just level gems to corrupt to 21 and sell for profit, the swap isnt manditory, its just a lil extra spell damage.

If I put flame golem in the pledge of staff, then it will automatically disappear upon weapon swap. So I don't know what the author means when he mentions using flame golem in the pledge of hands set up.

You can use 4-link Pledge of Hands with lower lvl arcane surge, you will loose like 1-2% of dmg, not a big deal.

I never said about placing golem on switch, this is some kind of misunderstanding. Golem is nice but its optional for juggernaut. However in terms of Elementalist that we have talked about in recent posts golems are essential.

Hi Ricko!

I try your build as standard, the build is great but I have a little worry face Guardian, Shaper, etc. .. I take too long to fall because my damage is not powerful enough. You can see what can be improved on my build please, of course I did not finalize the boots, glove and the trick with the pledge of hand too, my gem are not level 21 but are almost all at 20% in quality.
I'm also trying to have a 6L kingsguard with 3R and 3G !!




Otherwise nothing to say Uber lab easy, I facetank all the end game. Congratulation for your build !!

(Sorry for my English..)

Mmmm... wheres your cold dmg to attacks bro? Should be either on ring or jewel. Otherwise you have no elemental equilibrium chain and you're like halving your DPS. Also for Shaper I would recommend lvl 21 Discharge.

Omg ... I understand better why my damage was low .... Thank you Riko and yes that I can I take a discharge LvL21 !!
Thanks again!!

I understand better why EE proc only for the vulnerability to cold ... Now it's good I just tested on a T15 is much better, EE proc correctly and I took a level 21 discharge!

Thank you very much Rico, I wish you a good day. See you soon!

No problem ;)

Just curious what are your thoughts on the new chest armor Loreweave??

We use Kingsguard for "Gain 100 Life when an Endurance Charge expires or is consumed". Which in my opinion is one of the best attributes ever lol.

As Rico pointed out obviously the cold damage to attacks for EE but your missing out on a TON of spell damage on your jewels, you can pick up spell damage + spell damage while holding shield + all resist jewels for 20-30c, they dont get crazy (4-8ex) unless you go for 4 line with max life or attack speed ontop of the first 3.

Regardless of what you do on the build the dps is never flat out amazing its more of an immortal-do it all build. The way you cheat on the dps is the jewels, I run x6 double spell damage jewels with attack speed and resists, a watcher's eye, and a utility jewel for a total of 8 and still stack 232% life on my Juggernaut and 219% life on my Elementalist, theres room.
