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

I managed to get the INT from the Helm I bought. (Otherwise I would have had issues too.)

As for the ammy, I bought that one for 8c :D lucky find, I guess.

Glad you're enjoying the update of the build :)

One combo of cwdt+EC+IC is the simplest, most efficient way of running it. However, it is definitely not the only viable one and if you want to do another setup, there's nothing wrong with that. What I've been doing for Atziri is I started running EC+IC+increased duration manually, so that I can level all the gems and get max endurance charges/immortal call duration, which can basically make you constantly immune to physical damage, if you pay attention to your buff icons and know when to cast the combo again.

2% max resists is a HUGE thing not just for tanks, but for all builds! You shouldn't skip it, especially since you're already there! Just search the forum a bit for the exact numbers, you'll see it makes you take significantly less elemental damage from big hits (which is the only thing you have to worry about anyway.)

Elementalist is a nice node, if you want to try it, there's nothing wrong with that for this build :) plan well which other nodes to sacrifice for it, though, and if it's worth it.
tried the two cwdt setups for IM and the single one. Single felt safer by much, added an quality inc. duration that drop while testing and it's even more awesome. Using warlord's mark to replenish life.

my tree got like this:
As my final 4 skill points planned, im going for the 2 blok nodes (now that i've stop switching anvil and stone of lazhwar) and the remaining mana nodes above it (still using 4L but im looking to change to 5L shortly).

gear: (here i got room for lots of upgrades lol)
Spoiler
life: 4000
mana: 250 something (after tempest shield and hatred)
IB dps: 6900 something (4L IB + splash + multistrike +melee splash)
Armour: 3500 something
block: 60%
res: capped at 78%


Top priorities are getting a 5L (maybe i can break 10k line dps with that) and a cool rustic sash so i can try a lioneye remorse instead of daresso's to boost my armour or just try remorse with meginors but res will go down

I usually just leap slam in middle of packs and IB the shit of mobs, havent run maps over 70. Mods i need to be carefull elemental reflect(in big packs mostly), double reflect, half and no regen if i dont switch to anvil.

Any thoughts/suggestion? will post again once i get those gear upgrades

I don't see the point of the strange pathing to mara area, especially the 1 10str node which you use for nothing. Instead of that, you can go through the 3 armour & life nodes and gain more survivability.

Also, after picking your block and mana nodes at the duelist area (you'll rly need the mana nodes once you get a 5L), I recommend going for more life below the mara area.

Your tree would look like this then:


As for the rest, nothing to add. Just get a 5L as you plan :)

it was to see if you paid attention... not really, i specced out of the the endurance charges (at first was playing with end. charge on stun gem) and really forgot to redo path down there, what a newbie mistake, better late than never... the str node dont have any clue about it, oh god...
Lol, np, it can happen, you dont have to respec that many nodes :D

Updated with a "leveling guide" section.

Also, if someone would be willing to test out Molten Strike, I'd be very interested to hear the results :) (I'm busy currently, can't play)

How to be with life lich? Infernal blow makes little phys dmg and I will run lion shield. I cak reach 6-8% LL, And not sure if it will be enough.

You don't need that much life leech at all for this build. You have enough regen + tankiness to be at full hp or near full hp 90% of the time. If it does happen that you drop low, you get back to full with pots + regen + 2% life leech (that I have).

Hm, without Aurora all dmg will come to hp, so I think I wont be at full hp.
Please check links to the passive trees, they dont work.
And, Could you explaine why you chose Infernal blow?

Sure, you can get a bit more life leech than 2% then, but you shouldn't be needing more than 6-8% which you said you have.

I just checked all the passive tree links, they all work for me.

IB cause it's a very fun, powerful aoe clear skill. You can pick some other skill, ofc, but then you'd have to change the passive tree a bit.
