[3.1] JUGGERNAUT/BERSERKER 1H+Shield Max Block&Spell Block Tank, Atziri Killer+a BoR version

Hello, thanks for the writeup

As someone who wants to start farming uber labs this season (and has never done so before) to build up massive $$, would you recommend using the BOR version or the non-BOR version for someone who is starting on new league and will have 0 items?

Thanks again

Hi how about stacking Reckless Defence Cobalt Jewel for replacing Stone Lazhwar Amulet/Raimbowstride Boots??

You'd need quite a lot of them, plus, you'd take a lot more crits, which might be pretty scarry. I wouldn't recommend it.

I was looking through the new Breach League Uniques, and was wondering your thoughts on the "The Surrender, Ezomyte Tower Shield" Unique as an alternative to Aegis Aurora.
The stats on the released image shows the following:
Chance to Block: 24%
Armour 454
Requires Level 64, 159 STR
Grants level 30 Reckoning Skill
163% Increased Armour
+79 to Maximum Life
Recover 250 Life when you Block
+1500 Armour if you've Blocked recently

You lose out on the various elemental damage/resistance effects and anything having to do with ES, but I was wondering if the level 30 Reckoning was worth it enough to consider opening up that skill gem slot for something like Vigilant Strike if someone needed more Fortify duration, or replace the Fortify on Leap Slam for a Stun Support if you no longer need the Fortify. I don't have any numbers/testing to show for this, I'm just theorycrafting here, and would love your opinion on it!

The shield is extremely powerful for block builds like this one, but not because of the lvl 30 reckoning, but because of the 250 life recover on block. Also, because of the 1.5k extra armour which is basically a CONSTANT +1.5k armour for a build like this.

Is Legacy "The Anvil Amber Amulet" better or worse than "Stone of Lazhwar Lapis Amulet" ?

For this build, you want stone of lazwhar, cause otherwise, you can't get much spell block.

Why does your skill tree leveling template and skill tree for all skills template look so different?
I also got my hand on a Lycosidae with min stats but stil decent and my question is how long is it viable compared to Crest of Parandus.

Thanks, I fixed it!

Both are good for leveling, that's it.

I did an Assassin BF but with breaches in maps mainly, my desire to do a tank increased :p.

I was thinking to do a Juggernaut w/ block as a main part of the defense. Seems like this build is nice for that.

I see you're referencing several times elemental damages. It doesn't concern Earthquake right ? Or do you consider it's worth to boost this due to Added Fire Damage & Hatred ?
I'm not yet fixed about using Ice crash or Earthquake. I always liked to chill/freeze. I did an ice crash character when the skill was released and enjoyed it.

About the movement skill, leap slam without faster attack seems a bit unreliable. Wouldn't shield charge be way better ? And since it's our fortify applier, better to be fast.

I assume a Rumi's Concoction flask is also mandatory to get max block. Otherwise you're stuck around 50-60%.

Hello everyone :D, its a nice build thank you for it.

For future I think I will continue fallowing your build - Bloodless, BlodyBludgeon, Testudo and Retaliation, for DPS and more surv.

This is the skill tree at lvl 90:

I have 75+ res.

I thinking of changing the gloves for:
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Veruso%27s_Battering_Rams

this build cannot be stunned so one of this gloves with max roll on atk speed and armor would be great,
maybe corrupted with +1 to socketed gems.

Any constructive idea is appreciated.
Thx in advance :D,
Have a great day
