I am currently using a Lioneye's Remorse shield, I have enough currency for an Aegis Aurora Champion Kite Shield, is it worth it to get one, everyone says it is an upgrade? The loss of Armour and life doesn't seem like it would be.

Thanks, and awesome guide!

Read the list of Aegis mods. No shield replenishes your ES when you block. Try it out, and you'll understand why it's leagues better than Lioneye's, and you'll never look back.

I need some advice. I've changed some things in the build to suit my playstyle.



That's what I'm using right now.

Questions:

1. Why does Added Fire Damage do more than Weapon Elemental Damage?

2. What do you think of getting the fortify nodes and swapping Melee Physical Damage out for Fortify? I struggle to keep the fortify buff up with leap slam, could this be a decent alternative?

3. I have doubts about using Hypothermia at all. What's your opinion on the gem?

Thanks for the awesome build and giving me a good head start in learning PoE and exploring on my own.

Melee phys is one of your main DPS gems. Try swapping it with fortify and check your dps :)

Don't use hypothermia.

Yeah, you're right. I lose like 1k DPS. Wish I could fit it in somehow.

The gem is linked to Reckoning, which counterattacks when you block. Since you use a mace and melee physical damage linked to Reckoning, you almost always stun.

Was thinking bout using Hypothermia too.
My char is only at lvl 71 now. So i did not quite reach the endgame yet to figure stuff out myself. What makes me wanna use Hypothermia is this Jewel
plus for example Hatred or more similiar jewels.

Still a bad choice?

At the moment my expectations are that the champ will stay strong against groups of mobs anyways...

is it a good idea to link fortify with ice crash instead of reduced mana/added fire damage ?
Hello there man! I love this build, thx so much for it! But i want you too check my gear and tell me if i need something new item! Il lack some damage but it will gett better when i lvl and gett more damage nodes. Im lvl 86 atm.



The flask isnt the best but! Thx again for a great guide, love this build :)

I wonder if i chould gett that 1h wep or will i lack mana leech?? I love the wep i have cuse i dont need that mana with it haha. Thx again
I think this build is very lacklustre in dmg...

it's all shield nodes

i'm surprised it can kill atziri???

Where does the DPS come from?

ur tooltip must be like 10k DPS???
The rest of the 'end-game' content will be available along with a heap of new stuff when the game launches in a few months time. From what I've seen it's going to be awesome. - Michael_GGG
