[3.1] GLADIATOR 1H+Shield Max Block&Spell Block Tank + a BoR version

Atziri Final Form

Gear
Spoiler


Tree


Now I use a Hybrid form of your build with very similiar result. I run 4 auras thanks to the node and alpha howls

Auras (vaal Haste on standbye always)
Spoiler
1st form: Disc + Haste + Hatred + PoL
2nd form: Grace + Disc + Hatre + PoF
3rd form: Haste+ Disc + PoF + Hatred


Gem Swap on 6l chest
Spoiler
1st form: none
2nd form: I go for single target Dps therefore I replace melee splash with 20/20 Life leech. U can pretty much tank and spank
3rd from: During her phase switch I swap melee splash for WeD


Stats
Spoiler
Dps Sin: 31 k
Dps AoE: 19.5k

eHP: 4.3k
Block: 69/62
Armour: 11.6k

Resistances
capped at 81%
chaos: -31%


Atziri Apex
The first and second form are a joke to me. I kill them every time w/o dying or worrying about my health. The 3rd forum rapes me. I can only get her to 1/3 of her life and I take 3 ruby flask


I feel that my dps is lacking thats why I am dying. I have no issue during the minion waves and Ive seen other build destroy her but they all have OP weapon. Im not saying my Soul Taker (287 dps) is bad, but compared to a 400-500 dps its a joke. So I though I would come here and see how a tank does it.

I would like to see in a video which Auras you run and why, what your dps is a,and how u cope with flameblast as well as her split phase.

Ok, as for the video: I doubt it'll happen that soon (if at all). As I posted recently, my internet upload speed is super slow and it took me ages to upload the videos already linked in this thread.

As for rest of the stuff: I run hatred, purity of fire and tempest shield, which gives me 64% spell block. Purity of Fire instead of Light. cause the flameblasts are a much bigger threat than the storm calls. Hatred for DPS, obviously.
For my 6L for Atziri, I use IB - Melee Physical Damage - Weapon Elemental Damage - Added Fire Damage - Faster Attacks - Multistrike, which gives me an overall of almost 22k DPS. In the adds phase, I swap added fire with melee splash.

The minor flameblast is no problem, you can tank it with a flask. The huge double flameblast is something you have to escape from, and you simply cannot expect to stay alive from it if you tank it (although it did happen to me once when I accidentally forgot to react, lol).

In her split phase, it's not that easy as in normal phase. You have to watch the ground under you when attacking. If there's a bunch of storm calls stacking on you along with the mini flameblast - you have to leap slam away, because it can kill you. Unless you have enough charges in your flasks, both lightning and fire, then you can tank.


One important thing - I don't know if you perhaps forgot about it, so saying just in case - is to take out your enfeeble gem from your CWDT, cause every time you take damage and the enfeeble triggers, you will get enfeebled too, since Atziri reflects all curses. And believe me, you do not want to get enfeebled by yourself basically every 10 seconds or so.

Lol im a full retard. No wonder, I took so much dmg I forgot to take enfeebled out. That would explain lot. Thank you for the reply. So i can tank the smaller one I will remember that since I would run away from each one of them. I used to play elemental Buzzsaw ST and it was all about moving around, so I guess this habit as yet to fade.

Also should I sacrific 600 dps for 600 life? I could move around some skill points anf that would get me to 4.8k eHP
Heh, glad I could help :)

600 life is always better than 600 DPS.

As for the tanking, just be careful to have flask charges. If you don't have any flasks, don't tank anything.

Basically, you can tank (only with flasks): red storm call, small flameblast; you cannot (should not ever) tank: white storm call, big flameblast.
