Hmm that pale king/teemu combo seems interesting.
looks cool
"Is there such a thing as an absolute, timeless enemy? There is no such thing, and never has been. And the reason
is that our enemies are human beings like us. They can only be our enemies in relative terms."

any Suggestions?

can someone with a Aegis Aurora Build do a test?
nothing new here, but no it's not "better", aegis aurora is self sufficient and only requires a little pool of ES to be efficient. Plus it's only one unique
I will never be good but always I try to improve.
The "infinite" ES from aegis also allows melee characters to run melee damage on full life, which is a pretty gigantic dps increase on physical builds. 10-20% WED is also excellent since nearly every physical build runs hatred and HOA, and maybe even added fire.
Looks fun. I'm partial to block builds with its counterattack/reflect/trigger. In Perandus playing a variant of GeGuRi's full-block aegis + anvil build and it performs similarly,

GeGuRi's build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1619894

Will rejig my level 92 duelist on standard to give this a whirl as I have all of the gear save for the pale king -- which is surprisingly pricey for a less-used unique.

Got a preliminary tree with about 210% life (to compensate for the lack of life on the pale king and anvil) and napped the rampart cluster for added defense along with iron reflexes and unwavering stance. Using belly of the beast and soul taker in addition to the three aforementioned uniques.

That would be cool if you could test this.
Especially, cause you have allready an Aegis Build to compare.


To LightningStars
Let's say you have 1000 ES and 5000Life
If you take 2000 Damage, Aegis fills up 1000ES leaving you with
1000 ES and 4000 Life, and then stops working !?
Melee damage on full life doesnt work in this case when you need it most !?








I wanted to make a Pale King build but then came across the information that reflect damage cannot be scaled by anything but vulnerability/shock :\

It was a sad day.

To Mannoth

With Anvil + Temu you get 230 Life per Block without any scaling or investment.
To reach this with Aegis you need 11550 Armour + ES as Buffer.

Just did a -14% max Res. Ele. Weakness Residence Map for Science.
Only the Exploding Mobs at Dominus and a Volatile Blood Rare could kill me and did :-(

But this is generally a big downside for Melee.
