what about daggers
Im considering going down to IR/US. It has much more potential of armor/mitigation. Considering you can use Grace to apply more armor by not only stacking Grace+Determ, but also how grace applies to your mitigation. It is applied before all he +'s are implemented, meaning, your grace evasion rating is converted to armor, then multiplied into your stats through your bonuses. Surely this merits a route down to it. Good resist, hp nodes, and armor nodes are in that areas as well.


My only problem is that i am not sure if I will be losing out on overall armor/block/hp with this route. There are a lot more blocking nodes, and clusters that are closer together up near the templar area, then the bottom route to IR/US.

Here's what I was playing around with, let me know what you think.

(Do not take BM, to utilize % auras.)

Pros:

Immune to stun

More over all mitigation

More life regen

Cons:

Potentially less base stats (defense block, armor, hp)

??? Find them!



Gems would be

EK+BM+IW+PS+LL/AF or EK+BM+IW+PS with Kaoms.

BT+BT+CS+BM

Two Enduring Crys with BM

Grace, Determination, Vitality, Purity.


This is all in theory, and i am not sure if my routes to IR/US is ideal. Some feedback would be awesome - thanks.
Mess with the best, die like the rest.

You wouldn't loose THAT much defense block and hp from taking IR Kerkrom took IR him and I have done the math and you gain more reduction but its a preference. You definitly have the right mind set on the IR stacking
As for auras I would switch purity if not that needed in regular maps for haste to boost your dps.But if it is a -XX% resistance map definitly pop it on.

Alright cool. Yeah, I haven't seen any other builds run % auras and IR. At least early on. Thanks.
