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

Respecced my marauder (lvl 90) to try this build for atziri farming.

Gear
looking for rumi's still
can upgrade armor as well, waaaay overcapped on res (over 140 for light in merc)
~6k life


I am finding that I do not have a lot of damage, should I upgrade doryani's catalyst to a different weapon or am I missing something?

Hi there,
I'm curious about respeccing into this build from something similar with a BOR. Currently I get around 41k dps showing (have no idea how much more that translates to with the main usage of the Molten Strike/Multi-Strike combo) and have about 19k armour, 4200HP and 1000ES - unless I missed it somewhere I couldn't see in your build notes how much dps your three variants produce? Block is maxed with Lazhwar and Tempest Shield.Spell block is at 55%. I use a 350dps legacy ST, which I love because it allows me to devote all the mana to auras, particularly as I use sovereignty and a level 3 enlighten to allow me to use Grace, Hatred and Herald of Ash at the same time. I alternate manually casting flammability or Warlord's Mark depending on circumstances - the first for better clear speed or bosses, the latter for survivabilty when needed.

Here are my current combos -

CWDT/Immortal call-Herald of Ash
Molten Strike/Multi-strike/WED/Added fire damage
CWDT/BM/Tempest Shield
Flammability/BM/Warlord's Mark (summon skeletons is just in place for leveling)
Enlighten/Grace/Hatred-Portal

Here's my current gear -



I also have these available from my previous LC build that might come into play if you think they're better options -



Lastly, here's the skill tree layout I'm using at level 93 - https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAwEAAecEhwSzBS0GDgY5CfYM9w3NE8kUIBRNFy8YkRo-GlUcziFgJJsnCycvJ-0pTymlK1AvzDJONug62D0PPfxAoEF0RmlGt0d-UEdRYFWpVdZYY14TXz9hIWLsZOdlTWWnZp5nm2jyagFyqXTtdPF2K3fleTl673y7fNl-4oCKgKSCm4O2hNmE74bRjHaMz4-ZkFWXtJ48ns2fy6IApzCplayvrlCvbK-ntoq3MbyfvTa-p8BmwL_BgsT2xYrG2NNv1HzaweRR6dXsOO8O707wH_MG9kj3MvdN-tL7qvxL_lT-aw==?accountName=timbo1959&characterName=orlandohobbit


If you think your build can work more effectively with the three variants of Ice Crash, Static Strike or Infernal Blow let me know and I'll give it a whirl with the respec. Give me something to play with until the next incarnation of the game in early 2016. :) Looks good regardless - you obviously put a lot of thought into it.

How does this compare to a 2h Cyclone build in terms of it being fun and good in lategame?
OK so what am I missing here. Using infernal blow in a 5L chest. Single target damage is a joke. How do you cope with that?

Really depends on your budget...
For example, using 2h cyclone allows for kaom's heart and therefore allows for a much larger life pool, but other defenses like block would be lacking because you wouldn't be able to use a shield. Cyclone is also MUCH better for single target.

I believe 2H cyclone would be better for a medium budget although it tends to get boring if you've played many cyclone builds.

This is pretty clear when comparing atziri runs. This build does take a while to do each boss stage whereas a cyclone build with around the same budget might be squishier as a result of no block but would definitely clear a lot faster.

Obviously one could get a mirrorable or expensive weapon and this build would probably do just as well but with block compared to a cycloner.

Edit: Disclaimer: this is knowledge from personal experience from a 1.3 - 2.0 build. Cyclone got nerfed in 2.1 and therefore may yield different results now.

Hey man! I'm back and haven't ripped yet haha. Just hit A1 Merc and I'm currently lvl 63!


New Gear:
Spoiler


my Ice Crash is about 3k tooltip with Hatred + Blasphemy/Warlock's Mark. I just picked up a 10% quality Warlock's Mark but haven't leveled it yet so not using it yet.

I just finished the 79 point tree and I'm wondering where I should go first? I'm not capped on fire and lightning yet but cold is good for merc difficulty. I'd like to increase my damage but my weapon is the best I can seem to find.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I'd actually like to know when you pick up Iron Reflexes and Unwavering Stance! I've only got RT as of right now.

EDITEDIT: Also I've planned 64 and 65 to be towards getting Amplify since I'm using Ice Crash so hopefully that increased area damage does a great deal. :) After that I assume I get unwavering stance then go towards testudo but I'd love to hear what you think before I proceed!

You can either get a better doryani, or simply get a much better phys dps rare mace. Also, Meginord's Girdle would up your DPS by a lot.

Not sure about the DPS, Ice crash might be on par if you continued to use enlighten and all 3 DPS auras. Using a rare chest would definitely give you more armour and hence survivability than BoR, though. LC is a good option always, as well.

Well, that's a pretty subjective question, isn't it? :D I personally do not enjoy Cyclone so much, it actually becomes boring to me at one point, so I prefer Ice crash or Infernal blow more to it. The build is definitely fun, as it's funny how much things you can tank :D

You probably have a crap weapon and/or gear and/or are low level and/or have a bad passive tree. Without linking your gear to me and your passive tree, I can't answer your question.
