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

Do you mind doing a playthrough of a high map with the build as of 2.0? Just curious what high level play looks like with your build.

Do you get to max block?

With a Rumi's Concoction, yes.

Okay, I'm curious about one thing. My tree is a little different to this one, though in essence it's fairly similar. My tree is a little closer to Sovereignty (I only need 6 passives to get it completely) so I'm pondering whether the 18% mana reserve reduction I can get in total if I also spend three passive to take Champion of the Cause would be enough to allow me to still use Grace, Hatred and one of the Herald's? Or would I also have to throw in a level 3 or 4 Enlighten gem to get all three?

Work it out with this mana calc:https://poe.mikelat.com
If it works it probably won't leave you with much mana.
Well, I already use Champion of the cause which gives me 4% mana extra which I hardly need - practically everything I use is on Blood Magic except my main line of attack, which is a Soul Taker.

I used the calculator and I think I can do it without much sacrifice - just a little moving around and reinvestment. Because I can now use Tempest Shield (via blood magic) without a mana reservation I get 3% block tossed in. By throwing in a 2% block corrupted Lazhwar I can drop 6 passives I used to get to Command of Steel for the block, still retain max block, and reinvest those pasives to get to Sovereignty (I made a mistake earlier when I said I need 6 passives to get it - it's 7) but I can find that extra passive from somewhere in the tree. Throw in a level 3 Enlighten, and I can get my two auras AND the HOA with a similar small percentage left over to where I am now.

Seems a bit convoluted, but I think it might be worth it. I lost 5k dps when I had to drop HoA, and I don't think investing the 7 passives elsewhere will get me anything like that - plus Soverignty gives a 10% boost to all auras. That will get my dps back up to 33k -34k, my armour should get bumped to about 20k, I'll have max block and about 55% spell block.
I'm pretty new to POE i used to play a bit then stopped but me and my friends are gonna start up again. I used to play an infernal blow character before but i think i want to run Static strike this time around. How would you optimize this build for SS?

It is optimized. Static Strike is in the title of the thread.

Good job on the build its splendid.Can you recommend some jews?
hi i been following ur guide in the new warbands league. I m currently lvl 50+ and i have some srs mana problems, in which i cant spam and constantly need to drink mana potion,i only run a anger aura to boost my damage, anger cuz it adds more dps than HOA. Will this be better in higher level? or should i just look for mana leech items.
