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

Would this build be a good build for the 1 month league?
Of course, you don't need a Soultaker, nor an Aegis to run this build. In fact, Crest of Perandus can bring you to late-game easily, with your rest gear being rares, and hopefully, you have a chaos or two to buy stone of lazhwar :) after you get some more currency, buy a Temu (the new shield) or, even better, a Lioneye's. Aegis Aurora and the rest of the stuff are just sugar on top if you have the currency to buy them.

TL;DR: just with Lazwhar and rares, this build is good-to-go for end-game.

Hey guys do you think Dyadus is a good option for this build or should I wait and get a Doryani's Catalyst ?

Thanks.

Edit: I just found a sweet 1h sword... lucky me!!


Now my dps is something like 4.4k, could be more but I'm runing Blood Magic instead Melee Physical Damage in my 5L due mana problems... with Melee Physical Damage my dps is something about 5.8k

maaan got another question!

Today doing maps I found a bringer of rain and I though hmmm I can give it a try with cyclone. Everything the same but BoR with cyclone instead of infernal blow and a couple different support gems.



It actually works amazing and I think im dealing more dps...

The only problem I see is that ideally with BoR you need to go and get Iron Reflexes which requires 5 skill points, but on the otehr hand BoR gives you extra 15% block chance so it might be worth it.

What do you think is better? Or maybe both are very good :)

You do not want Dyadus, ever, for Infernal Blow. I told you that you want only pure physical damage weapons. Why? Because:
"
50% of Physical Damage Converted to Fire Damage

http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Infernal_Blow

This means all your damage is scaled from physical damage, and using a weapon with primarily elemental damage, like Dyadus, would make you lose a lot of DPS.

That is also the reason why Doryani's is such a good weapon: it has pure physical damage, plus, it has a unique mod which increases elemental damage, which means it boosts your fire damage after it is converted from physical.

If you don't have the currency for Doryani's, you can always buy a very good rare weapon for up to 1ex which will give you very good dps.

The BoR-Aegis-Soultaker cycloner was the most popular Atziri farming build after ele ST. Check out Havoc's builds or Willywonka's, they both did the build and farmed pretty successfully with them.

Thanks for the reply man! I'm saving for a Doryani's; well I need to get to lv 75 first!

Edit: BTW I'm not using Infernal Blow, I use Molten Strike.

Np, just keep going, this build is very rewarding, every time you get a gear upgrade, you can see the difference :)

Hi there,

I need some help:

- here's my current gear:



I'm thinking of upgrading my Rings first? Are there any good upgrades for me on xzy?

- my stats:
HP: 3612
Mana: 600
MReg: 17.6
Res (Fire/Cold/Lightning): 78(94) / 53(53) /78(102)

Are those okay? Have to cap my Cold Res tho.


How to get to maps? I rolled Pack Size on my 66 and got a few 67 Wharf Maps and 2-3 68, should i look out for other Rolls?
You could get a new two-stone ring, the one you have is mediocre. Gloves are easily upgradable as well. Of course, you can find an upgrade for anything, just depends how much you're willing/able to pay. Check xyz for what you need and see for yourself.

As for maps, yes, pack size is the best mod for getting new maps, also, best for getting as much xp as possible.
