Help with Juggernaut Build Survivability

Current POB: https://pobb.in/PkiNpXDvOqhS

Build I am following: https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/boneshatter-juggernaut

Having more success with Marauder than others I have tried, in Standard league currently as I don't have enough time to do the Ancestors league well.

After Kitava act 5 as usual things get harder, and I am currently shoring up defenses, and looking for new armor and two handed weapon. Got to the third fight with Izaro on the Cruel Labyrinth, but get one shotted by his attack due to low resistances I think.

Any ideas on how to make this more survivable, and what are the biggest issues currently?

What would be the best things to focus on crafting-wise right now? A lot of things are veiled currently for me in terms of crafting, Chaos resistances at least are.

Have a look at this and make sure that you follow all the instructions as you'll need it to make the build work.

You need life and at least 50 total resistances on each gear. Also movement speed on boots and speed attack on axe. The rest is secondary.
Use Sunder to finish the campaign, it's damage and clear is much better than boneshatter for early game.

Respec the whole Tribal Fury node and spec into fortify mastery to gain fortify on melee hit. +1 fort, 40%, 40%, Steadfast, then Fortify mastery point for fortify on melee hit.

4 Link Sunder, and use phys gems only. Or use added fire, ruthless, melee physical damage, sunder.

You want to cap your Fire, Cold and Lightning Res. Monster damage starts to increase dramatically at act 5.

Also, link Second Wind to Intimidating Cry for double damage on your Sunder attacks.

Precise Technique is doing nothing for you because your Sunder accuracy is lower. Drop herald of purity and reserve Precision, get some accuracy on the tree by taking Versatility OR eagle Eye, along with accuracy on some of your gear such as rings and amulets


For chaos res in campaign acts, use an amethyst flask.

Put unused gems, such as boneshatter or brutality in your 2nd weapon swap.


When you get a 5 or 6 link, drop the fortify mastery for fortify support into your main skill link. Switch to what ever skill you intended to play, which looks to be Boneshatter, so respec back into Tribal Fury.

Congrats, you are prepared to complete the campaign and get into maps.
