[2.6.0] Guardian RF Totem

edit : seems 2.6 will buff RF again, so we are back to business §

Hi,



Just to share my latest MF build, definately one of my best so far. So tanky, so effective, can do EVERY map mods, even those crazy like blood magic , no regen, full reflect, min max res etc...

Mechanism :

Purpose of the build is to be low life and use aegis for defense.
We are using Guardian ascendancy class to get a significant armour nb based on our reserved life.
Since we are using Aegis shield, the best way to stack curses ( blasphemy ) and auras is going blood magic... Which is great because it does inscrease also our reserved life pool => increase our armor.
Beeing blood magic means that we don't have any mana, so we need to use a skill that cost nothing : RF Totem is free. So we can freely take Zealot Oath and benefit for free regen from Guardian.

Aegis regen 2 % ( 4 % if legacy ) of our armor on block.
So we need block chance and armor : we are using 5 x Reckless Defense Jewell to stack block/spell block and we take reduced critical damage taken passiv node to mitigate the extra crit we take.


We end up with , without buff or potion :

- almost 18k armor
- 67 % block/spell block
- 720 ES regen on block( with Aegis legacy )
- 5k5 ES with full MF gear ( around 300/100 IIR/IIQ )... Without any MF constraint, ES can be a lot higher.
- every 5 sec, we purge elemental ailment and curse
- every 5 sec, we regen 1700 ES ( ??? not sure what's it's so high but this is what is displayed )
- can't be stunned if you block recently
- -25% curse effect on you

Pro :
Spoiler
- very very tanky, see above
- can do ALL maps mod, no regen, full reflect, min max , blood magic whatever....
- very decent clear speed


Cons :
Spoiler
- RF Totem gameplay is a bit clunky ( there is a small delay for the totem to cast RF )
- Requires Shav and 5 well rolled Reckless Defense Jewels so a bit costly


Tree :


Gear :

+ 5 reckless defense Jewels


you can use redbeak instead of doryani for almost the same dps , advantage you can whirling blade+fortify which is a huge additionnal layer of defense.



VIDEOS

When doing the videos, didnt get that EE is not proc when you have ancestral bond unless you use a totem that hit. Modified my setup accordingly after the video.

Is it really tanky ? Well, here is a stress test 2.2.0 :


Atziri 2.2.0 :
Sorry for beeing in the dark, I didnt took Arcane Vision as it was too costly in 2.2.0... It will be "for free" in 2.3.0. And I didnt play very well as I didnt play Atziri for a long time but it showcases build capacity...

I'd really like to try this build out but I don't have enough currency for it yet on prophecy. I know it won't be nearly as good in a new league without legacy items but it looks GREAT with legacy so it should be decent at least with non-legacys.

Thanks for sharing!
pretty sure it would works well in league too, Aegis not legacy already works well and my gear can also be improved ( more ES )

updated for 2.4 (no update, still kicking ass)

This build is less headache to play with than your old shockwave build. May I ask what did you use to trigger elemental overload?
tempest shield + increase crit chance does proc elemental overload.

Okay, things going pretty good so far. Tanky and effective build, stuff melt fast at T14, T15. For hard bosses I swap out Inc Quantity for Increase burning damage. 15k5 armour unbuff, 6k8 ES, 67/67 block chance with Tempest shield up, 102/248 IIQ/IIR.
