3.4 Holy Shepherd-Dominating Blow+HoP-Shaper&Uber Atziri down (Videos)

Check out my Champion variant of this build, more end-game boss oriented.

This will be my starter build for 3.5 patch, and hopefully i'll be able to stream it leveling.

does any of the new changes affect this build?

Veiled mods will surely be a bonus, but i think the main bonus to the build will be Banners, because our main issue is bosses, high content bosses i mean, like uber elder...

To sum it up , yes , the build WILL receive a big boost.

I think he is referring to new patch notes:

"

Herald of Purity
Minions summoned by this skill now deal more Physical Damage based on gem level, rather than more Damage.

and

"

Blood Chieftains can now hurl Blood Apes at you.

hmm, interesting ....

What the ....what? that sound dumb as sh*t :)))

Ok so, in my opinion Master of Metal is worth taking.
It says that "20% chance to impale enemies on hit with attacks"
It does not say it has to be a physical attack type, so you can APPLY impale, but that impale has no value to the target.
The thing is , the next part of the node "You and nearby allies deal 4 to 8 added physical for each impale" ...now that's value :)

Inspirational doesn't seem worth it from what i gather, the only thing that would be interesting is that "banners have no mana reservation" .
Time will tell , these are just speculations at the moment.
